Kansas Woman
Kills Wolf in
Chicken Yard
Dogs Come to Aid and Permit
Death Thrust With
Pitchfork.
Cottonwood Palls, Kan., Nov. 7.—
Savagely attacked by a wolf which
entered her chicken yard, Mrs. J. E.
Adams, her hack against a wagon
and a pitchfork in her hands, fought
for her life. Mrs. Adams is the wife
of a Toledo township farmer and lives
about seven miles northeast of Strong
City, Kan.
Mrs. Adams was attracted to the
i-hicken yard by a disturbance among
her fowls. She at first thought the
animal was a large coyote and that
she would frighten It away but it
turned and rushed toward her.
Mrs. Adams fled toward a wagon,
hoping to guln the protection of a
hay rack on it, but failed to do so.
She barely had time to snatch a
pitchfork and to turn before the wolf
■ was upon her.
The woman succeeded m strlKing
the animal tw:ce and this made the
wolf wary. It paused, awaiting an
opportunity to attuck and preventing
flight to shelter.
The wolf swiftly changed its tac
tics, and running to the other side
of the wagon rushed upon her. By
a lucky thrust, Mrs. Adams pierced
the wolf’s neck and managed to hold
its pinioned to the ground. Two
smnll dogs, seeing the animal at a
disadvantage, sprang upon it. The
wolf struggled free but was so dis
tracted by the dogs that it was un
able to defend itself further agalnat
the woman’s thrusts and Mrs. Adams
struck the beast down with a blow
on its head.
