WOLF HUNTING. Chasing Wolves With Horses Rnd Hounds in the Northwest. A fetter in the Cincinnati Enquirer, dated, "On the bnake Itiver," Idaho, says: In a fair stand-up fight the average white,gray or black wolf of these West ern prairies can down the best dog tl a' ever drew breath. lie knows his own powers, and will rarely run from a sin gle dog. But the true prairie wolf, or coyote, is too cowardly to ever engage in a face-to-face fight with a mongrel car even, and will often whip his tail between his legs and run yelping from a month-old puppy. The dogs in camp know these characteristics of the differ ent species as well as the hunters, ai d in consequence will dash out alone af ter a coyote, but unless urged on will never single molest a gray wolf. When the dogs are in packs of three or more, however, all this is changed, and the wolf declines an interview. With seven hounds and four hunters we left camp yesterday morning at dawn for a day's run after wolves.Thev are more numerous in this region just now than any other species of game ; and although hunting them is not gen erally included in a list of Western spoits,t is a highly exciting adjunct to the pursuit of buffalo,deer and bears. Our loute led to the rocky rises at the base cf the Salmon mountains, be tween the headwaters of the Malada and McArthur rivers, which is a fam ous lurking place for wolves, as the rocks and undergrowth give them am ple shelter, and the proximity to water assures them of game when it comes to the stream to drink. We were armed with breech-loaders charged with buck-shot, and were all well mounted —I am on my buffalo run ner purchased in Boise City sometime ago. When an hour out of camp the baying of the hounds in a coppice to the right of us told that something was started, and the next minute a lank gray wolf, with six cuhs streaming af ter her .dashed out into the open ground and ran past us so close that we might have killed her with a revolver ; but something like pity stayed every man's hand, and we let her go by us without a shot. The cults were evidently four or five months old, and kept well up with the mother, who moved over the prairie'like a gray streak. When the dogs finally broke coyer she had disap peared around the face of a hillock, to the top of which we spurred our horses in order to see the remainder of the chase. In the course of a few minutes it was plain to sea the cutis were loos ing their wind; one of tlipm falling be hind so rapidly that he was almost in the jaws of the foremost hound, and the others, while keeping ahead, giving every ev.dence of distress. The moth er wolf was not moving at her best by any means, and if she would abandon her cubs to the dogs might easily es cape; but instead of doing that she sud denly wheeled around, while the cubs kept on forward, and doubling square on her tracks closed with the hound who was in the lead and not more than ten paces from the exhausted young on. Before the dog could recover from his surprise she had him by the throat, her long, white teeth cutting through skin and muscles. Then closing and tearing out the wind-pipe, jugular vein and gullet. It was only a single bite ; but the spread and strength of her j iws, as well as the sharpness of her teeth, made it fatal. Then she humped up her back, and in ten bounds had regain - ed the lost ground, and wis again in full retreat in the centre of her family. In the nature of things, however, the cubs could not stand the killing pace ; they fell behind in ones and twos, and result was a foregone conclusion—at least it was so until t:e mothe aaopt ed a new set of tactics. She started off at right angle with the line pursued by the cubs, swerving in her course so as to bring herself very near to the hounds apparently with the purpose of attract ing the chase to liei self. Three of the dogs accepted the invitation, and pres ently were out of sight in the rough country to whidi she led them, while the lemainiug two busied themselves with the cubs now left to their own de vices. At a rattling pace we set off across the country in the direction taken by the old wolf, and presentl" from an ele yation discovered the chase not far a head. The dogs were rapidly gaining on their prey, and we spurred on in or der to be in at the death Our sport was not marred by any sentimental pity for the victim, as the killing of wolves is a utilitarian service, appreci ated as well by hunters as ranchmen. They not only kill asd maim enormous quantities of wild game, but do not scruple at entering ranchero's barn yard and carrying away young hogs sheep, and even young calves. The Eastern method of getting rid of troub lesome domestic animals is in vogue here against wild beasts to a great ex tent, and thousand* of wolves are kill ed through poisoned meat prepared for them by the farmers. The run was but a short one, and be fore one drew near enough fcr the ef fective use of our shotguns the dogs had dragged the tired animal to the ground and were tearing at her throat. Wolf skins in the frontier market bring from $1.50 to $3 each and as ev ery pelt we captured during tie hunt was to fall to the share of Jim, our cook, he was probably the most eager member of the chase. lie rode into the thick of the fight, and kicking the dogs to right and 'eft had the skin strapp# 1 from the animal before the blood had done flowing from its throat. Wolf skins are the main dependency of many of the poorer ranchmen during the Wtdr WtfW, of tfom cfcfltettnug as many as five hundred pelts from the beginning of November to the close of February. Their favorite weapon is strychnine, which often kills for one man more wolves in a single night than a party ol hunters could run down and shoot in a week. When the poisoned meat is placed near a pond or stream of water the carcasses of wolves will al ways be found near the water's edge.as the poison breeds an intolerable tliiist and the water hastens dissolution. In the course of the morning we ran down three other gray wolves and suc ceeded in shooting a coyote, as well as a cantelopo for dinner. While siietch ed on the grass smoking our pipes after dinner was'over, a black w If sulked into the very borders of the camp . and made a leap at one of the reekb'g skins which )itn had hung loHtr limb of a scrub oak. lie failed to get it; but instead he got the hounds on his trail, with us aft2l* them as so >;i as we could gather our arms and mount. For the fust few miles the run was ov r a smooth country; but the noon rest seemed to have stiffened the dogs'joinis and slowly but surely the wolf was slip ping away from them, llis instinct headed him towards a piece of land broken by rivulets and coppices, where he could easily elude the hounds' sight and make his escape almost certain. The doctoi's dog—Cruso—who. since the death of the leader in the morning, was the tleetest. in the pack, blocked this little g one, however,by putting on a magniticieut spurt and presently bringing the wolf to bay until theoth eis came up. Then ensued a knock down and drag-out tight between the single wolf and five dogs, which lasted for twentj minutes. Of course our shotguns might have put an immediate end to the scriintn ige, but in spite of Jim's earnest entreaties, who feared ba the fate of his valuable pelt, we let the tight go on, satisfied that any five hounds who could not kill an American wolf were unfit to be the companions of sportsmen. At t he beginning of the fight the dogs mainly contented themselves with cir cling about the beast and taking a nip out of his fimks whenever a chance presented; but as the fight continued and they got an occasional caste of blood, they began to close in and to make passes at the wolfs throat. lie kept his eyes peeled, however, wheeling about like a tee-to-tuin in his efforts at protecting 11 ink and va 1, and held his own fa rly well against the five assail ants until Cruso managed to get a full grip on one of his hind legs, when he opened his guard in front and three of the hounds took him simultaneously in the throat and fore legs. Bleeding from the throat wound, and with two broken limbs, he weakened rapidly, finally going down after one of the hardest struggles that I have ever seen made bv a wild aoini il. T lis was the largest wolf that we have killed, or in fact seen, during our sojourn, his weight being probably above, rather than under 100 pounds, and as his col or is black, instead of the usual lupine gray, his skin, when cured, will not, make a bad robe. advice ri> norilßKß.
