Had Destroyed Cattle Two Years Halliday, N, D., April 21.—White Wolf, a mongrel believed to have been part collie, which has been raising havoe with sheep and cattle flocks and herds in this section, has fallen after nearly two years effort on the part of ranchers to catch him, The animal, a beau brummel of the preying tribes, almost as large as a timber wolf, dressed in a thickly furred hide of almost pure white ex- cept for a grayish collar, ran at the head of the pack which had been de- vastating herds. Ten days ago he was seen near the home of Charley Burr, an—Indian on Moceasin creek where he killed a cow and a calf. He returned to his kill once too often and \was shot hy Adlai Stevenson, another Indian of the ‘territory. A large bounty was offered by men for his death. & ock- Appeals to Floridans To Go Beyond Whipping Boss (Continued trom Page 1) victims of Florida’s penal laws and regulations.” + Leads to Brutality. Mr. Pinchot declared that everyone who has read history knows that once leasing of convicts and corporal pu ishment is permitted “the door h been opened to unlimited brutulity. For we cannot successfully regulate brutality; this has not been done and never can be done. The power to inflict a little torture, to flog men to a limited extent and a fixed’ num ber of blows, quickly demoralizes the man who holds the whip. - It soon corrupts him and drives him on to secret and terrible excesses, Cruel- ty breeds cruelty and develops a pas- sion for it, and no matter how hu- mane the guard, boss or warden may have been at the outset, he at length becomes a brute. fnd the legal limit ten blows may wdll grow, as in the Tabert case, into an executjon by slow torture, > “How true this is shown by Treye- lyan, the English historian. In his American Revolution, he tells us that, when contrary to the custom of con- tinental nations, England permitted flogging inthe army and navy, the officers ‘of our fighting serviés, who otherwise were neither unjust nor unkindly, altogether lost sight of the distinction between severity and barbarity.’ Men frequently died under the lash. At, the same time, the public became callous to flog- gings. And Trevelyan describes, with. shame, the indignation with which London watched foreign visitors to the str les and listened of soldiers who were tied to trees in Hyde Park and flog ged not infrequently to death.
