BELONGS TO GRAY SPECIES.

After battling Tor ten minutes with
nothing but heavy plank for de-
tense, VIII James, a well known
young man of West Tennessee street,
killed gray wolf which had caused
such great excitement in that section
weeks 1t was a battle royal, and al
though the wolf was wounded in the
shoulder, carrying the contents of a
double-barrel gun in his body, he
put up great fight. James dealt
blow after blow, and several times
the wolf seemed to have the upper
hand. When neighbors came to his
rescue James was almost exhausted.
Several weeks ago valuable dogs
were found dead by their owners.
1t was attributed to a wolf, residents
claiming to have seen the beast. Sew
eral weeks ago a negro pedestrian
going home with meat was attacked
by the wolf and the meat snatched
from his hand. Residents were
awakened at night by the appearance
OF the wolf in their chicken coops,
and on several occasions shotguns
we're brought into play with no re-
suits.
Yesterday morning w. II. Davis, OF
Twenty-ninth and Tennessee streets;
went out into his back yard to feed
his chickens. He saw a gray object
at his back gate He recognized the
wolf He had no gun but picked up
a board and started after the beast.
The wolf calmly eyed him, never
venturing to move until Davis got
within three feet. Will a sudden
leap he made for Davis and the plank
gave out a resounding whack as It
struck the wolf full in the side. This
served to start It running.
The route led towards the city,
down Tennessee street, and the news
spread. The beast was headed off
and started back. A crowd followed
and the wolf for the second time
made for Davis back yard. Emmett
Davis, 10 years old was waiting
with a double-barrel shotgun. He
let go with both barrels and was
knocked backwards by the rebound,
The wolf received both barrels in
the shoulder 1t snarled and made
for the woods.
VIII James was coming along with
a board, hearing the shot and stories
of the VOLTS temperance. The
beast jumped at him and James dealt
it blow In the side. He fought for
some time, and just as the crowd
which followed the wounded beast
arrived, James dealt the fatal blow,
striking the animal in the head.
The VOLTS teeth are long, some
over an inch in length. He is not
large. but agile. Some claim he is
half wolf and half dog, but those who
have seen wolves claim he is genuine
The carcass will be presented to
County Judge r. T. Lightfoot today,
and the bounty of IS claimed. This
is the amount fixed by law for the
death of any carnivorous wild beast
It is the second wolf to be killed In
this county within the year the first
being killed near Woodville several
months ago.
