In payment of the bounty for the scalp
of a big timber wolf which he killed
near his fathers farm at Little Sua-
mico, Mimi. Crosse and his father
had been out hunting, and their dogs
struck the trail of a wolf They fol
lowed it an day Toward evening
they came up to the wolf just as it was
about to crawl into a hole. 1t was
part way In, but the older Crosse ran
forward and seized the animal by the
tail i, 1t tried to snap at him, but
Crosse, who is a strong man, hurled it
rapidly about until, losing his hold on
its caudal appendage, the wolf shot
away for several yards and lay on the
ground apparently dead. Louis made
certain of his prey by putting bullet
into it's head.
