Custer Volts
Crime Career
Ended by Shot
Pirate of Plains for Nine
Years, Fierce Beast
Defed Hunters.

After eXaCting S25,000 tribute in
livestock during the nine years he
cunningly eluded scores of hunters,
the Custer Wolf" known as the
master criminal of the animal world,
has at last been killed.
The death of the cruelest, the
NEST sagaciOus, the most success
full animal outlaw" the range coun-
try has ever known. was announced
with a sigh of relief by the De-
partment of Agriculture yesterday.
II. p. Williams, the departments
best hunter and deadliest shot, sent
bullet crashing through the
animals brain after trailing it seven
months through the country ad-
jacent to Custer. N. Oak.
For nine years the Custer wolf
struck terror to the hearts of ranch
ers in that section. Many credited
the story that it was not merely
L wolf. but a monstrosity of nature,
half wolf and half mountain lion.
possessing the cruelty of both and
the craftiness OF a Mephistopheles
His cruelty was surpassed only
by his cunning" according to the
Department of Agriculture. He
killed with the refinement of animal
ferocity. Here tOnight-tomorrOw
night he devastated a range fifty
miles away. He lOped through every
kind of danger and passed them all.
He shifted the subtlest poison and
passed it by. The most ,adroitly
concealed trap was as cleat to him
as mirror in the sun.
Mere money loss was not the
whole Of the horrible toll he took.
When he killed for food he took
only the choicest animals, but some
times he killed in atrocious ways
for the mere sake of killing. Often
he wounded cattle, rCaking their
legs, biting off their tails, mutilat-
ing them in unspeakable ways"
Four years ago the Custer VOLTS
mate was killed and it is popularity
believed he devoted himself to re-
venge for her death. He never took
another mate, but later allied him
self with two coyotes. OF this in
cident the department says:
He attached himself to the coy
otes, not as equals, but as slaves.
He never permitted them to come
near him, and they could feed from
his kills only after e. himself had
finished. They travelled far out on
his flanks, giving him warnings of
ambush or approaching danger, and
adding to the atmosphere of mys-
terry that surrounded him. In pub
lie opinion he had all the qualities
of the werewolf OF Old World le-
gends."
The Custer wolf died making
supreme effort to cheat death once
more. This from Williams report
to the department
He stepped into a trap and ran
with it Is yards when the hook
caught on a tree, but that did not
seem to stop him. He broke the
swivel of the trap and ran with it
on his front foot. I trailed him for
three miles, got a shot at him. and
got him. He weighed 9S pounds and
measured just six feet from tip to
tip. His teeth would have been good
for fifteen years longer. He broke
some of them off on the trap, but
aside from that they were in good
condition"
The Staying of the master crfmi-
nal was marked by a celebration in
the vicinity of Custer, almost as en-
thusiastic as that of Armistice Day.

BERGDOLLCASE
STIRS OFFICIALS
TO new INQUIRY
Congress to Probe Escape
While Army Renews Eff
fort to Capture Stacker.

The publication OF Grover Cleve-
land Bergdon's own story OF his
escape from Philadelphia and his
flight to Germany yesterday caused
official Washington, at both ends
OF Pennsylvania avenue to revive
the elaborate plans once laid for a
real investigation OF the affair.
The House resolution. authorizing
an inquiry, will be presented to the
Military Affairs Committee for con-
sideration next Tuesday.
To Continue Search.
Although representing himself to
be without Official" information on
BergdoITs whereabouts and the at
tempt made in Ebersbach to kidnap
him by two Americans, at least
one, Of whom is a member of the
American forces of occupation, Sec
retary of War Baker. asserted the
army efforts to aPprehend the draft
dodger would be redoubled.
The only new fact developed at
the War Department was that
Frank thinner. one of the Ameri-
cans held in Germany for the at
tempt to kidnap Bergdoll, is a ser
geant in the American army of
occupation.
Il am glad the Bergdoll story was
published" said Secretary Baker.
1T may enable the army to find
new tack in the Bergdon investi-
cation. The inquiry has been con-
slant, and the government will not
be satisfied until the whole affair
is cleared up"
In discussing the affair Senator
Borah said:
Demands Inquiry.
IF that is true, that's an out
rage The manner in which Berg
doll so easily escaped was indIca-
tive OF gross negligence or criminal
upon the part Of those
who were responsible for his safe
keeping. At any rate. the govern
ment cannot afford TO sit quiet and
ignore either the method OF his es-
cape or the story. In fact, the in
tegrity and the good name Of the
army are involved, and it ought to
be cleared up and responsibility es-

FILIBUSTER CLAIM
ENLIVENS DEBATE
OVER TARIFF BILL
Senator Ashurst Declares
Obstruction Methods
Delay Measure.

The emergency tariff bill had the
right of way again in the Senate
yesterday, but the debate was COW
cred in a hundred words while new
subjects were discussed at great
length.
What little discussion the tariff
gained, however, resulted in the
open charge from the Democratic
side that a fiIibuster against the
measure was being staged by mem
bers of the minority,
Il do not insinuate that there is
a filibuster. charge that one is
being conducted" said Senator
Henry F. Ashurst, of Arizona, when
Senator William H. King, OF Utah,
obtained the floor and launched Into
a lengthy speech on Russian trade.
Penrose Speaks.
The resulting interchange of
compliments brought Senator Boies
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, into the
argument. He denied that he had
intended to insinuate by his cloture
petition that the Democrats were
attempting g filibuster against the
tariff bill, but he asked the mem
bers of the senate who ywisiroa 10
absoIve themselves of such 4 charge
by Implication to address them
selves to the tariff bill before the
body and not to devote all of the
time to other subjects.
TT may be-" he said, that the
guilty conscience of some of those
on the Democratic side of the aisle
has compelled them to make eX-
plantations in advance of accusa-
tions."
Doubts FiIIbuster.
Senator Charles S. Thomas, of
Colorado, informed the Senate with
all due solemnity that he did not
believe that there was a flibuster
in progress. He said that in spite
of the threat of cloture he intended
to see that full discussion was had
on the tariff bill and warned the
Senate that tomorrow he intended
to speak on the measure at length.
The usual parliamentary fight to
displace the tariff bill was staged
just prior to adjournment. Senator
Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma, en-
deavored to obtain unanimous con-
sent to displace the tariff bill today.
He was blocked by the Pennsyl-
vanian who again warned the Sem
ate that he intended to keep the
tariff bill before the Senate and
pressed his motion for a recess TO
victory.
