Sabetha Herald: Fred Lyons dis |
covered VOLTS lair in his cornfield |
last Tuesday and captured six wolves |
about four days old. The wolves not |
only had their eyes shut, but their |
ears were closed. Ever know that |
wolf was born with it's ears closed as
well as it's eyes closed? The female |
wolf had dug a hole in the cornfield |
against the time when the stork |
should arrive. The hole was several |
feet deep. After the young arrived, |
Lyons noticed the wolf coming and |
going a great deal He investigated |
and found the six little ones. Mrs. |
Lyons, feeling sorry for the little ones, |
filed them full of milk the first thing |
Now wasn't it just like a woman to |
think of that? The wolves are about |
the size of good sized rat. Although |
naturally in a primary state of de- |
velopment, the young show their saw |
age instincts. Their lean muscles |
have begun to take form, and a GER |
tain wild cunning or the promise of |
it, is clearly indicated in the head and |
ears. Lyons will cash in the scalps at |
a dollar apiece at the Seneca court |
house. 1t is proper that he break |
even on the milk Mrs. Lyons is feed |
ing the wolves. He is laying for the /
old wolf with buck shot.
