Wolf Chase In CASTOR.
Gastonia Gazette, Friday: There
was wolf chase in CASTOR yesterday
morning and II is a fact also that the
hunters and the dogs had a barrel Of
fun out Of 1t, as one Of them remarked
to the newspaper man. There were
twenty hunters and about thirty
five or forty dogs A few months ago,
Mr.. r. L. Wilson formerly of the police
force, received from his brother, Mr..
Boyce Wilson, who lives in Oklahoma
a real live coyote, an animal Of the
wolf breed. Part Of the time II has
been kept at the fire station, where Mr..
Ned Hayes looked after its temporal
wants and took an interest In exhibit
ing this citizen Of the wild and woody
west to many curious spectators. Yes
terday morning, soon after 8 o'clock,
the coyote was taken to the farm Of
Mr.. Neil Davis, south Of town, and
turned loose. At first the animal re-
fused to run, but as soon as the pack
Of hounds was shut in the slaughter
pen, he Immediately took to the tall
timbers. He was given a little start
anu Inen the MOUNDS ana hunters
started in hot pursuit Taking q start
at Ed Crawford's cotton house, Mr..
Coyote ran back towards town a short
distance, then turned across the Rhyme
and Jackson lands, turned again and
came back on the Davis farm, then
crossed between the places Of John
and Will McReady, down to the Ib
Thomas place and across Crowders
creek. After crossing the creek he
made a circle and started back. AS he
was in the creek on mis- way back, the
hounds reached the animal and pounc-

middle Of the stream on or near the
Jackson Gamble place. An old dar-

NAL was a fox, rescued 1t from the
water and brought 1t on to the party
Of hunters which was at the time some
distance away. When told that 1t was
not fox but wolf, he exclaimed with
show Of genuine feeling of fright:
"Lors a massy, eff I'd aknowed that air
animal wuz a wolf l never would
touched hit" And he delivered 1t
quickly to the hunters. The chase
lasted for about an hour and 1t was an
hour Of fun, Notwithstanding the fact
that the hunters were all the while
considerably behind the dogs and were
