RANCHERS FEARED
OLD WHITE WOLF
SNOWDRTFT ESSFULLY
DODGED GOVERNMENT HUNT
Frs FOR LONG TIME

"Old Snowdrift" was a snow white
timber wolf of exceptional size and
beauty. Also he was very clever. For
almost year this handsome rogue
dealt havoc to the Stockgrowers Of
the Highwood vicinity, leading packs
of hungry wolves even into the corrals
to carry on their destructive work.
This was 20 years ago. Every possible
effort was made to capture this cum
ming leader and his followers.
Large sums of money were spent
for bounties, and the most skilled
trappers of the United States biological
survey lent their assistance, employ
ing every art known to that depart
ment to trap the wolf. Hundreds of
the big United States wolf traps were
concealed in the trails of the wolves
and dead shots penetrated the most
remote places in search of the killer
Although the United States biological
survey has been very successful in its
work, at times the blood-chilling howl
of distant lone wolf reminded the
ranchers that Snowdrift still lived.
In the spring of 1922 odd Snow
drift" found a mate and they estab-
lished a home in a secluded spot on
the North Fork of HighWood creek.
The family consisted of seven puppies,
the mother, a nurse girl" (year-old
female), and the old white fellow him.
self. So clever were the wolves that
although their den was within three
miles Of human habitation they were
not discovered until the puppies were
2 months old. To avoid detection they
crossed the range of mountains and
did their killing on the head of Arrow
and Martin creeks. It was a long trip
over rough mountains, but it afforded
security to the little ones at home.

Medicine Wheel Mountain Erected Before Indians Lived
Montana Mystery Hints at Early Civilization Treasure State

S. C. Simms Of the Field Co

existence Of a medicine wheeI on
the summit of a mountain called
AsNgedicine mountain" situated just
across the Mon { a n a-Wyoming
boundary line. in the Big Horn
range Of mountains in the latter
state in August, 1902.
OF it he wrote
Although I made many inquiries Of
the old men of the Crow tribe regard
ing the medicine wheel and its sig
nificance, I found not one who hat
ever visited it. A few of them hac

excepting that it was made by people
who had no iron At different times
I CHANGED to meet with two Sioux IN
dams who were visiting the Crows
and they also were asked about the
wheel. After inspecting the diagram
of it. which I had hastily drawn IN
order to make clearer the questions
asked them through an able interpreter,
each of the two Sioux drew a dia-
metrical line through the wheel and,

Finds medicine Wheel"
1.-THE information obtained up to this
time being too meager to warrant an
attempt on nv part to locate the So
called wheel or even Medicine noun
tain, had almost concluded to aban-
don hope of seeing the monument on
this visit, when was approached by
a white man, known to the Indians
and the whites Of the reservation as
4Silyer-tip,' who had spent much OF
his life prospecting in the Grow coln-
try Tin fact, he had been adopted when
boy by a Crow chief named Sorrel-
horse, and who informed me that as
he was thoroughly familiar with the
surrounding country he could tell APP
proximately where the medicine wheel
was situated. I therefore engaged Mr.
Silver-tip to conduct me to it. We left
the Grow agency, accompanied by
men named Green and Reynolds, and
arrived at the base Of Medicine noun
tain after sunset of the following Fri
day.
iaborious and difficult After a climb
of about five miles we came upon an
old. well worn trail on the north side
of the mountain. Unlike the south side
of the height, which is almost perpen-
dicular, the north side is a steep in
cline.
Appearance of Wheel
THE summit of the mountain is not
extensive in area, and it is irregular
In shape Within the narrow limits Of
this eastern end we found the medi-
cine wheel as it had been described.
"The peculiar structure consists Of
a large number of limestone slabs and
boulders Of various sizes. Directly in
the center, or at what may be termed
the hub stands a circular structure
about three feet high, of the same
kind of stone, radiating from which
are 81 lines Of stone leading to well
formed perimeter. Around the outer
edge of this circular rim of the wheel,
at irregular distances, are the remains

for "Old Snowdrift' evidently knew
that a. killing near the den would
arouse suspicion. Tracks were found
within 200 yards Of a well travelled
road, yet no trails or roads were
crossed by wolves during the spring.
IN spite of his cunning, however,
odd Snowdrift's" den was discovered
one day by rancher who took out
the puppies. The Mr.. and Mrs. got
away easy. Two of the puppies were
taken home by a forest ranger.
Finally there were 100 traps set for
"Old Snowdrift." An expert trapper
finally found "Old Snowdrift" in a
trap and killed him by rifle fire.
Some experts hold that for night
driving. It Is good idea to wear white
gloves since it is thus easier for q
following driver to see hand signals.
