SIHEWD MONTANA WOLVES. The extraordinary sagacity of wolves has been very powerfully instanced In a recent event on the upper Waldron range , says the Gazette of : McLeod Mont. A colt died . and Mr. Warnok took ten strychnIne tablets and inserted them carefully In various parts of the body. lie did not go near that vicinity for a couple of days and wh"l he did . he went expecting to se ( some results from the bait. There was , however no sign of a wolf , living or dead In sight. He hunted around within a radius or a mile or two but found nothing , and finally he went over and examined - amlnedwhat remained of the dead colt . There was not much : the skin app arE to have been neatly and completely flayed from the body ; nearly every particle or flesh was gone , as were also the rib bones and any- thing smaller : the fore and hind legs had been wrenched off from the knee joint down and carried off some distance , where everythIng - thing mashable on them had been properly mashed. The skin was almost intact . and spreading It out hair side down Mr. Warnock casually examined I , when he noticed with some surprise a smal bunch of flesh that had been untouched . and which was adhering to the hide and enclosE In which was the strychnine tablet. A closer examination revealed - vealed the really extraordinary fact that every single one of the tn strychnine pelets that had been inserted had been heft similarly. Every shred of flesh had ben eaten alt around them and not a single one touched. No wonder It Is a dimcult mater to catch wolves . when they are endowed with a cunning - fling like this. The explanation Is that on this one occasion Mr. Warnock had picked up the pellets before insertIng them Into the bait with his fingers Instead of . 0 was his usual custorn with 0 pair of forceps But the 'fact Illustrates the kind of foes the ranchers have io deal with.
