it at loss. One dealer reports he

Custer wolf was at home.
During these nine years the stock
men paid tribute of about $25,OOO In
live stock. When he killed for food
he picked out the choicest. At times
he killed wantonly, for the sake Oh
killing. Often he mutilated for sport,
breaking legs, biting off tails and IN
fiicting unspeakable injuries on an
imals. Says the Letter:
HE Hoped through every kind OF
danger and spurned them all. He
shifted at the subtlest poison and
passed it by. The most adroitly con-
cealed trap was as clear to him as
mirror in the sunshine. Old hunters,
unerring shots, drew the bead on him
End saw him glide away unframed
The price on his head was $500. Boun-
ty hunters sought him for profit.
Sportsmen put forth every device to
STAY him for regulations sake. And
still the old wolf went unscathed
about his work of destruction.
"Credulous people said he was a
charmed thing. Others attributed his
immunity to a wisdom greater than
beast ever before possessed. Still 9TH
ers said he escaped by plain luck
the mysterious thing that adheres to
some animals as to some men.
sAll kinds of stories got abroad.
This thing, they said, was not a wolf
mot merely a wolf. They believed
that nature had perpetrated a mon
strosity, half wolf and half mountain
lion, possessing the craftiness of both
and the cruelty of hell. Iii public
opinion he had all the qualities of
the werewolf of the Old World
legends"
This may be bit exaggerated, eS-
pecially in the matter of traps, but
the fact remains that he was an eff
Gent bad wolf, SO efficient that he es-
capped all perils, even great round
ND which was tried as last resort.
Here are two instances of his efficient
methods-the instinct school, please
note.
Four years ago his mate was killed.
He did not take another, and the cred
ulous declared he had devoted him
self to revenge her death. The gray
wolf, however, is one of the animals
that usually mates for life. He evil
IDENTIFY missed her services, for he
soon broke in two coyotes to help
him. They ate after him from his
kills, and never came near him. He
used them as bodyguards, pickets and
scouts. In travelling they ran on his
TANKS at from 100 to 200 yards dis
| lance.
He developed this strategy when
trailed. He would back trail to a
point where he could watch the trail
er from cover. A bear will do this,
also some other animals, but old hunt
ers say they never knew another wolf
to do it.
