ed business in Durango today, has the
distinction of catching the first ''Lo
boz wolf in La Plata county. Mr..
Baird has had experience in trap
ping wolves in the vicinity of his old

came that the beasts of prey were
costing the stoclSmen of northwestern

decided he would capture one of the

ards drove their stock from the win
ter to the summer range they pass
ed Mr.. Baird's ranch and one of the
cows died by the way side. Mr..
Baird set trap in the carcass, and
awaited developments. Late at night
wolf which had been trailing the
herds came along. Caution deserted
him for momenmt and he stopped
to dine on the feast. In an instant
he was caught securely in the trap,
and shortly a bullet ended his life.
The wolf was over six feet long and
Mr.. Baird estimated he was about a
year old.
