 tors trio of redoubtable hunters te capture the carnivorous anima 'Sroving futile.
 ! Although the animal had beer within rife range on several occa sons, 1t was the desire of the hunts men capture it alive and with tha, idea in view. dogs trained in wolf hunting were brought in from the north by MT. Quinion. About mid day Tuesday, the animal was driven to his lair by the dogs and the work or digging him out started.
