Federal hunters, staged q two weeks
chase through the wooded hillsides
and ranges OF the Young's Creek
country, Staying the two animals
last week.
Female Gets Away.
A third member of the pack, a.
female wolf, was trailed more than
thirty miles by the two hunters, and
after she had been driven across the
Cheyenne river the chase was aban-
,doned because Of the extreme cold,
williams having suffered a frozen
face In the 30-below-zero tempera-
Iture.
Pelts of the two animals are on
display in a local sporting goods
store, and each measures more than
six feet from tip to tip.
The three-legged wolf and his pack
have destroyed stock in the Young's
Creek country valued at $4,000
during the last decade, and at one
time the Federal Government offered
a bounty Of $500 for his capture.
Williams and Ostrum, however,
are ineligible for the reward because
of their connection with the Govern
ment. -

exception of, two coyotes that he
used as fIankguards, on his raidine
trips. He never ate fro the same
carcass twice-another thing that
made his capture difficult and his
destruction of cattle severe.
