Winston, Mo.-"A gun! My kingdom

Robert Calhoun of near this place, a
few days ago, when he saw a large
gray wolf running across pasture
and quite near him.
While Calhoun was regretting that
he was unarmed, he saw the animal
make a spring to clear the fence. And
then the strange thing happened. In
stead of jumping the fence the wolf
landed across it and became entan'
gled in the woven wire. AS it vainly
struggled to eXtricate itself, Calhoun
