! A ferocious wolf was captured by
two Milwaukee hunters, Richard Stat
fen, a policeman OF station 5, and
Amiel Julious a mOtOrman, in FOrney's
timber. They had with them four good
dogs. The dogs got the trail of the
wolf and they cornered it and the
wolf fought like a lion until Richard
shot it three times to bring the brute
down 1t killed one of their dogs in
the fight and one of the other dogs
died the next day. This wolf was an
old timer, and has killed several sheep
for the farmers around here. 1t
weighed 81 pounds. Some weight for
a wolf Charles Lind believes the wolf
was one of the two that freed him
and Willard Lind for two hours,
couple of weeks ago. This was the
braVest wolf that ever was in this neck
of the woods. Mr.. Staten had the hide
tanned and took it home with him.
The wolf had two bullet wounds; one
in the hip and one in the front leg.
The farmers here give Mr. Staten
many thanks for getting this wolf out
of the way. It's mate is still in this
neck of the woods.
