HUNTING WOLVES OUT WEST Lively Chase After Ranch Pests op 3 g Geese Greek , WARM SPORT IN WYOMING FOOTHILLS J'lvp riuhtlnu Uotix DlMiOftPd of liy the llniitoil Vulninln Mffiiro ( inn- pouilor Clieokril Tltelr \Vllil Him. "It seems to be quite the fashion to ride to hounds hero In tlio cast , " said 0. A. Canfleld of Sheridan , Wyo. , to n Washington Post reporter. " 1 suppose that Is n heritage from our Engllah ancestors , or , nt least , pat terned after our English cousins. Of course , I huvo been corrupted by living Jn the wild . - miloo1ey west and can see little fun In the sport the way it Is pursued'hero. . 1 will have to plead my residence In extenua tion , If that will be pardonable. But this thing of dragging an anlso bag over n ten or fifteen-mile course seems to me about as tn tcless as soup \\-lthout salt. Uut wo niuit l < ccp In the anlm and even If we do jutrip fences only three feet high , our Imagination cati do the' rest. The brush Isn't the whole thing , after all. "We hnvo a little sport once In a whllc-out in my ; country ( though I don't , know that " It Is s"o swift when It cornea to be examined critically.Vc had a wolf chnso a short time ago nnd I thought It far from exciting. To bo sure , Buffalo Bill was not there , but then he has lived In Sheridan mu1 he has some extensive property Intcrcjfs near there. I mention this to show that Sheridan basks at least In reflected glory , even If It pos sesses none of Its own. But about that wolf chase. The people out there love a'nythlng that savors of hard riding and the bronchos never seem to tire when they are In pursuit of anything. There were n number of guests stopping nt the Sheridan Inn , nnd the hotel proprietor wanted to get up a little func tion far their amusement. So we had , this jvolf chaae. v 1'i'HtM on ( lie Kmu'liCM. "Tho wolves had been captured In he.ivy steel traps , three of them , but they hail not been rendered at all docile by their few dnjn of association with human beings ; they had all been lamed by the sharp teeth of the trar nnd a big , old stie-wolf had at tempted to gnaw off ono of her hind feet,1 In order to obtain freedom. They wore not these little coyotes. They were wolves , the great , gray , timber wolves , larger than a Newfoundland dog , with mighty jaws , lined with fchlning sharp teeth , that snapped ominously when anyone came near them. They aio ; not cowards , those timber waived. They will attack a man even when , they have not the encouragement of a pack. A timber wolf can throw a steer and cut his throat quicker than a cowboy. That Is the rea son why the ranchmen are t > 6 anxious to get rid of the pests. But they arc cunning and It Is not often that ono gets caught In a trap. "Word wns sent throughout the town that there would be a wolf chase 111 the after noon" and about 300 men , women and boys' came out on bronchos to follow the hounds. The pack vafc u good one and numbered about thirty as gopd dogs as arc to be foun 1 In the northwest. I think tl-at Col. Cody- owns sonio of them. There were fox hounda , vlth a cross of the blood hound , that cov- ned from twenty to twenty-five feet at every leap , while other coursers oT less dis tinguished ancestry were brought oilt to fol low with the rabble. "It may have seemed tame to a tcnderfcot wlio didn't know anything nbont the -speed and endurance of the * timber'wolves. But It did npt take long tor such scoffers to be enlightened. The tourists from the Inn were given a coach , from the top of which they cculd view the hunt. The wolves were taken out in a wagon and given n little start before the hounds were unleashed. At llrst they laid down as If hopeless * of escape and absolutely refused to budge. Even kicks failed to arouse them. Finally the smallest of the trio got up nnd started off with a limp nnd the others fallowed hlm < a moment later. They did not run fast at the start , at least they did not appear to , and everyone said the chase would be a frost. UOUH Aroimcd ( he WulvcH. "In about a minute the dogs were turned loose and they took up the scent with.a chorus that would have made any hunts man's heart beat faster. The way the lead ers covered the ground was a caution and It seemed to mq as if the three wolves , linndlcnppod us they wore by lameness , wculd be overtaken in less .than flvo minutes. The reason wo thought that was because wo had not been looking nt the wolves. The mlnuto they heard the baying of the hounds they seemed to have forgotten all about steel traps and captivity. They bad nn awkward gait , but the way they got over the ground made us fcrr that there would bo no brushes to distribute. "Tho old she-wolf was going on three legs , but she led the trio. A number of cowpunchers - punchers from Stockwell's ranch started out to flank them In order to- keep them from getting Into the foothills around Big Geese creek. They flred their revolvers and howled themselves hoarse , Tiding at top specc ] , and finally got them to going In the direction they wanted them. But there wore only two dogs who gained on the wolves. These were two stagbounds with keen ncscs and speed that I never eaw surpassed. Such leaps you never saw , and the rest of the pack had to get another leader who was In the same class with , the rest. Gradually the staghounds - hounds closed In on the wolves. "Bo far they" had bcon running by scent , but soon they caught sight of the fugjtlvcs. Then tbe ohnso assumed a different aspect and Uio wolvea might nS well have tried to race with an express train , , "But , nf er all , It wag nothing more than a race. The speed was with the etaghouuels , but the courage nnd fighting quality was with the bloodhound stock In the rear. The leaders know the temper of the foes they had to deal with. The old she-wolf was tlll leading and her smaller male companions were Hllghtly behind. With an Instinctive generalship the staghounda bowled over the she-wolf and left her struggling on the ground , They had stopped her for a second. Then they set out after the others and pretty soon bad them sprawling on the prnlrlo. The wolves got up and showed fight , but the stnghounds stood off , and the wpjvps started on again. The same tactlra were , repeated and tbelr progress was BO Impeded that the pack gained rapidly. The staghouiids'seemcd to devote meat of their time to the two male wolves and the old female began to get away.But the pack was now. la strik ing distance nnd the fight commenced , Wo I I'M ICIlIeil Five Dow * , "The t.vo male wolves were BOUII sur rounded , and there \\nn u mix-up equal .to a Ecrlmmsgc on n foot ball field. Tlic wolves Were gamp and d.lspowl of five dpg.i. b.c.fo.ro. the ) were killed , "The old lie-\\of ! had not gone far Pirl Iicr Injuiles were beginning to tell on her , The staghouiids overhauled her , and then the rest of the pack came up , followed by the mounted crqwd. A circle wes Jjrned. ftrrjiio-j Ihc dogs , with the old she-wolf In thuir CLiiter , She bad laid down , .panting and tired , with u long dripping tongue protru 1- Ing Iv.M. ' her mouth.

None of the IOKS ! seemed willing to attack her , Finally n dog with more of the bloodhound than the ulbers led the useault , ( The old wolf woke up and killed him Inttantly. The others then ( stood aloof. "Ono of Ihc cowboys suggested that none of the male doits would attack n female wolf and that their apparent timidity wa < nothing mote than the chlvnlry of the anl- mnl. At that moment the coach with thv > tdurlsts arrived and' with them came a fierce female bulldog. The owner was told the reason why the fight could not proceed and bo offered to back bis bulldog ngnlntt the old wolf. He was advised against the course , but he Insisted and his pet wns un leashed. "It wns all right for the first minute or two. The little bulldog was game and com menced the attnck on her adversary' with the utmost fierceness. The wolf Bill ! lay on' ( be ground , with half-closed eyes , ap parently unaware that anything unusual was going on. Her hide was tbick , and the teeth of her small assailant did not bother her much. But the bulldog finally grabbed her bv the throat and this took nil tbo In differences out of her. The old wolf stiUK- glcd and tried to free herself , but in vnin. She rose to her feet nnd shcox lictsclf dja- peratcly , but the bulldog hung on with that tenacity which It alone can tllsplny , "At last the wolf shook herself free. But she did not remain unmolested , The game little dog returned to the attack , but this lime she was more than meU The great Jaws of ( ho old wolf opened , showing 'the gleaming fangs , now' covered with foam , A feint , n quick snap nnd the Ivory teeth sank deep li.to the bead of the brave little bulldog. The lifeless body was thrown aside with contempt. A bullct-from n cowboy's six-shooter then ended the old wolf's caYecr , and the crowd rodd home , trying to figure out whether the game had ocen worth the candle.
