Notorious Wolf Killed.

Upton, Wyo.-"one Toe" the most
famous wolf in the west, was laid low
last Friday by William jenkins, a
ranchman, who shot the animal which
has been hunted by stock growers in
this part of the s.ate for years. "One
Toe" so named from the fact that his
trail showed him to have but one toe
on his right forepaw, has been the
despair of stock growers for many
years, raiding their herds and being
held responsible for losses that aggre-
gate thousands of dollars. He was
too wary to be led into trap, could
never be deceived into eating pois-
oned meat, and until Friday had never
been caught within rifle range.

Robert Ennis, farmer living near
Dover, recently took his little bow

through the woods with his rabbit
hounds. The little fellow of 8 wears
took great delight in the tramp and
the music" of the dogs when they
would start a rabbit. Now they are
recovering from a great fright at
Mr.. Ennis house. For at the first
opportunity the young 3-year old
stole off for hunt alone in the
woods, taking two of the dogs and
was soon lost in the white oak forest
OF 1000 acres, north of Dover and on
one of the roads to Smyrna. One
of the dogs started rabbit and left
the child, but the second dog never
forsook the side of the toddling
hunter. and hours later, when the
whole country side was looking
for a lost boy, the dog gave the
searchers their bearings.
