BEASTS OF PREY ARE
KILLED BY FORESTERS

During the past fiscal year 4,6s6
predatory animals were killed by fed
cral officers on tho national forests,
according to an actual count of car
Casses An indetcrminatc number of
animals whose bodies were not found
are presumed to have died from poi
son.
The rangers bag of beasts Of prey
this year as shown by forest service
figures, was made up of 200 bears.
3,jfl coyotes. 1873 mountain lions. 60
lynx. $50 wild eats, 81 wolves and 81
wolf pups. The figures Indicate that
the national forests are becoming
cleared Of wild animals that prey upon
domestic livestock and game. for the
forest ranger fills in odd moments be-
tween other jobs by thinning out "un-
desirable citizcns' o. the animal
world
Wolves are said to cause greater
losses to western stockmeu than any
other of the predatory animals. 1t is
estimated that a family of wolves will
destroy about $4,000 worth Of stock
per annum, aud that one able bodied
individual costs the grazing industry
5000 a season
The wolves are of two classes-th,
smaller prairie wolves or coyotes and
tho larger gray. black or timber wolves
called "lobos.' These latter are the
great stock destroycrs against which
the campaign of the rangers has been
wdgcd.
Hunting Methods Vary
The methods of hunting wolves in
the west vary. ON the plains wolves
arc sometimes hunted with dogs and
horses hut this way Is considered cx-
pSasiNc and often dangerous. This
sport Is described by Roosevelt in his
earlier hunting books. On national
forests the rangers either set out poi
son or baited steel traps, or. by watch
ing trails and hiding near "A VOLTS den,
are able To shoot one or both of tho
old wolves when they return from for-
aging. In no other way. according
to the forest service. can the number
of wolves be kept down so well as by
finding their dens and destroying tho
young.
The skins of the predatory animals
killed by the rangers are either kept
as souvenirs or sold for price or
for bounty. Wolf skins in the west
are said 10 bring from 81 TO SO for
robes and rugs; "a mountain lion skin,
SO to 500: and u bear skin, anywhere
from $40 to $3.50. according to size and
species. In addition to this there are
bounties on bear. lions and wolves in
most Of the western stock statcs. Wy
oming, in ten years, has paid out it is
said. over s65. 900 i'm bounties on wolves
alone and $4,000 more on coyotes and
mountain lions.
Through his activity against these
pests, the forest ranger, ii is said, has
saved the stockmen many thousands
Of dollars during the year while the
protection TO game animals, such as
deer. elk and antelope, is OF almost
equal Importance

REPORTS LOWEST
FOREST FIRE LOSS
Government Says Preserves Have
Suffered Little Damage

With the middle OF September the
fire season on the national forests has
come practically To an end with less
damage than ever recorded There
is always some danger from careless
| ness of campers or of settlers burning
/ brush and clearing land. but the real
danger season extends only from the
middle Of June until the middle of
September.
Forest officers throughout the west
are congratulating themselves on a
season SO markedly free from heavy
losses. They feel that the immunity
from loss has been due To two prin-
cipal causes partly To- favorable
season, but largely due To a much bet
ter organization for fire prevention
than has been attained heretofore. The
effectiveness OF the organization is
shown particularly by the fact that
while there were i'm all approximate
~ l,2GO fires. as against 2.i7O last
year, yet the area burned so far this
year ~ only about $4,000 acres as
against 100000 acres in 1912. and 1sO.-
200 in 1911.

Wife CONFESSES
KILLING SLEEPING
GIRL And FATHER

Harrisonyille, Mo-, June l2.-Mrs
Arthur kellar late today confessed
that she killed her husband, rail-
road laborer and their daughter
Margaret, seven years old, last
Tuesday with an axe as they lay in
their bed The confession which
was signed by Mrs. Kellar brought
to a quick termination the coro-
ners inquest which has been at
tempting for two days to place the
responsibility. The jury retired
and brought in verdict, charging
the woman with the crime. Mrs
Kellar was taken to Jail
"God knows, would not have
killed them had | known what |
was doing" she said in her con-
fession. She declared she had been
frequently irresponsible for her acts
since she received a blow on the
head two years ago. In her confes-
sion, Mrs. kellar relates that when
she went to bed Monday night, she
felt bad and lay down with her
clothes on Later she awoke and
impelled by frenzy she could not
resist, she said, she secured an axe
and returned to the home where her
husband and daughter were As
they lay asleep. she struck plow
upon blow. Only after the deed
was done, did she realize what she
was doing.
In relating what had happened
later, Mrs. Kellar said she set fire
to some paper on a chair near the
bed that she might see better Later
she went to the kitchen and re-
turned with water with which she
bathed the girls wounds. Then
she picked up an axe and broke of
a piece of her own bed that she
might make it appear that She also
had been attacked with this plan
in mind, she went to neighbors and
told the story OF mysterious
man who had fled as she awakened
and that he had struck at her with
the axe which failed to hit her and
had struck the bed instead.
