Wolf-Coursing 



Upon our return to Denver we were waited 

 upon by a ranchman who had heard of the 

 failure of a pair of these dogs to catch and kill 

 wolves. He stated that he had a leash of 

 greyhounds that could catch and kill gray 

 timber wolves, and deposited $500 to bind a 

 match to that effect. He was very much in 

 earnest, and I regretted that we could not raise 

 a purse of $500, as I should like to have seen 

 the feat performed — my experience being that 

 it required from four to six to accomplish this, 

 and that even then they have to understand 

 their business thoroughly.
