WHERE THE WOLF WAS CAUGHT. ~ 
JEANNETTA ZIMMERMAN. 
We had just laid old Uncle Matt in his 
last resting place, and as we rode away 
Art proposed as a fitting finale for Uncle 
Matt’s burial that we call the ater and 
have a big wolf hunt. The old darkey had 
never been happier than when we had al- 
lowed him to follow the hounds with us. 
The snow was melting and everything 
was perfect for a chase when we met that 
afternoon at Deep Creek farm. From 
there we went 3 or 4 miles to where wolves 
had been seen and heard in an extensive 
slough, consisting of small trees and dense 
brush. The hounds were running, but not 
on a trail, when out from the opposite 
side of the brush jumped a big wolf and 
headed for the long hill to the South. He 
left considerable territory behind him be- 
fore we could get the hounds bunched and 
Old Trim on the track. As soon as he be- 
gan to tongue the others followed. The 
wolf made for a road, then through an or- 
chard to the railroad track. He walked 
leisurely up the track, every now and then 
looking back to see how near the dogs 
were. 
Suddenly he made a dash to the right 
over an upland prairie. The younger 
hounds were thrown off and kept on up 
the track, but Trim never left the trail, and 
soon over the prairie went the wolf with all 
the hounds in hot pursuit. Trim made a 
good leader for any hound chorus. Especial- 
ly fine was he with the wolf in view, and 
the distance between becoming shorter. 
The wolf made for O’Brien’s cattle lots, 
evidently expecting to throw the hounds 
there. Then we knew we were up against 
the same wolf that a few weeks previous 
had escaped by running in among O’Brien’s 
cattle after we had given him a hard and 
This time he was doomed to 
disappointment as the cattle had been 
moved to another ranch. When he came 
to the feed lot and didn’t see a hoof he 
seemed to lose spirits. He looked around 
dejectedly and took a path leading to the 
church yard, the hounds close behind. 
Right on the newly made grave of Uncle 
Matt the wolf stopped, faced about, and 
showed fight. The hounds rushed in, and 
by dint of numbers bore the old fellow 
down and killed him.
