These are not great in number, but they are quite a factor in the loss totals incident to tho grazing of cattle on the plaina. Many snusing stories are related of the experiences of ‘‘tenderfeet” and “gilgalms” who have boen lcst on the plaine, or situated so the howling of coyotes filled at once the night with dis- cord and_that tenderfoot’s heart with alarm. Western people know that the coyotes do not attack men, and it is also a well known fact that when three or four coyotes join in the choius of a re- frain which soma chief musiclan in the tribe las started, the listener would swear that about 200 of the animals were holding a rehears The howl of the pray wolf is different from that of the coyote. These latter rarely run in packs, althongh the popular belief is that adventures of the style p r- trayed by Frank Mago in Davy Crockett are of common ocourrence. The gray wolf's howl isa shoit, sha p snatl, and rarely breaks forth into a prolonged cry, unless the brute is ravenously lungry. In midwinter these big gray fellows be- most white, and when made des perate by hunger are no doubt ugly cus- tomers. Recently an article has heen going the rounds in which the terrible fate of a tramp, who was put off of a train in the wilds of Wyoming, is related in thrilling style. 3 The n’ght was dark; splashes of rain were eurled against the windows of the cars by the midnight wind: the passengers ona Union Pacific train were noddng. The train stopped at a lonely station out on the barren plains. A tramp claimbored but the cruel conductor would not let the poor fellow ride. Several milis from the station the train was stopped and 1he tramp calves thoso wolves woald destroy wnp\d furnish, if it conld be learned, interesting data for settlemen. C— BLACKMAILING DETEURIVES, A Olass That Thrives Upon the Secret Bins of Their Clients, New York Mail and Exprese, In speaking of g certain class of private detectives the other day Col. Chatles S. Spencer, the criminal lawyer, said to a reportor for the Mail and Expres: “‘Many of the so-called dotectives got their living by blackmalling people who at somo earlier perlod of their existence committed a violation of tho law, but are now trying to live hone:t, respectable lives. 1 remember one case which came under my own observation a number of yonrs ago, 1 was oalled upon to defond a man, whose name I will not mention, but who bore a bad reputation, charged with a crime cf eome importance. Ho was acquitted, although I afterward be- came convincod that he was guilty. He was & man of considerable natural abil- ity, and would, I believe, he could be per- suaded to reform, be able to earn an honest living. When Ispoke with him about the matter he listened respectfully, and then replied that he had been think- Ing of the matter himself. Ho said that there was an agent who wanted him to sell maps for him, but ashe had no money and no one to go security for him he had not accepted the position. I told him that I would help him to secure the place. I loaned him $100. He pur- chased the maps and went to work, He was very fortunate In his sales, and at the end of two or three years he had saved the sum of $1,600, and. paid back to me the loan I had made him with in- terest. “HMe then concluded that he would open a fish market in_the lower part of the city, which he-did, and was getting along nicely when a private detective,who knew all about his life as a criminal, dis- covered him i his market. He told the now prosperous mar ket man that he would tell his_castomers all about his past his- tory, of which they were jgnorant, and thus ruin his business, unless he would pay him 8100 as hush money. My protege, seeing that the detective had it 1n his power to injure him, paid the money. Not satisfied with the #um he had received, the blackmailer came back again a fow weeks later. As he did not_know that the fellow could be arrested for blackmall, he continued to Py sums of money to the scoundrel un- uil he had crippled his business and com- pelled the man to sell outat a loss, He came to me snd stated his case. Iad- vised him to go westand try again. I loaned him enough money to get out of town with., A year or two ago he sent me a letter stating that he .had mado money and had become quite prosperous in his new home. He sent back the loan, too, with interest. o ——— MADE IT WARM FOR HIM, was put off. As the train started ahead in themurky darkness, the howlings of wolyes were borne to the ears of the star— tled passengers, and the poor tramp,f:an— tic with fear, ranscreaming after thetrain., In spite of the protests ot the passengers the brutal conductor left the man to his fate—to most horrible death. Such is the stor; It is hardly necessary to add that it was written by a very tender tenderfoot. In the summer of 1882 a certain Chey- enne lady had an amusing adventure with a monster gray.wolf. A parly of ladies and gentlemen had been fishing on the Poudre, above the Rustic. Upon the re- turn journey the majority of the party walked up the long hill which is ascended when coming trom the Rustic to Chey- enne. The lady referred to had wandered zhead of the others. When a gentleman in the parly approached the summit of the hill he discovered the lady holding an interview with a big mouthed wolf. The sitnstion was a realization of the le- gend of Red Riding hood. The lady had asmall stick, which she was waving at the wolf, and meanwaile she was crying, “*shoo,” *‘shoo,”’ like a woman drlving a hen from a flower bed, The wolf was contempla'ing the woman with giim curi- jon he disappeared over the summit of a neighboring mount ain. The lady supposed the wolf was a large shepherd dogand was not a little agi ated when she learned that she had Leen enter taining & mountain wolf. During the summer wolves and coyotes lite ally live o the fat of the lgnd. In the winter and early sp ing they are un- able to capture the small game on which they subsist at other seasons of the year, and then they tum their attent on to live and then it is that the cattleman nany a calf, or yeailing, and often a full grown cow or steer Cuyotes prefer young calves, born early in the spring. Half a dozen coyotes wiii surround a calf and simultaniously at- tacking it from all directions they easily and readily destroy it. Gray wolves have been known to kill full grown cattle, al- though they also prefer to attack young stock. When a large animal is attackeo the wolves separate into two parties, one | % assaulting the cow from the front, while the othera endsavor to hamstring 1t. This method of assault rarely fails to be suc cessful. Soon the poor brute falls and a moment later the entire pack of wolves is snarling over its bedy and feasting on the stiil living animal, Owing to the persistent war made on the wolves and cayotes by the cattlemen and hunters, they are steadily diminish- ing in numbers, In the early days wolves wero always found with boffalo, and so long as cattle are grazed on the plalns these p will continue to inhabit the Rocky Mountain regions, Many coyotes and wolves are killed by poisoning meat and leaving it where they will find and devour it, Indeed, that i+ about the only meaus of killing them now omJ)loynd, and during the winter cowboys and hunters find “‘wolfing” a profitable business. Bounties of $1.50 are paid in Wyoming upon each wolf or coyote killed. The pelts are brought to the offices of the county clerks, tho paws are cut off the ears are punctured and the pelt is returned to the hunter, who, in addition to the bounty, realizes all the way from fifty cents to five dollas for his hide, its size, varlety ana general condi- tion controlling its value in the market. Nearly every day some cowboy, ranch. man or hunter, brings a bundle of pelts to the office of the county clerk in this city, and obtains the bounty, while the wkios find & ready sale in the markets. The skins are tanned with the hair on and are manufactured into robes, rugs and overcoats, and not a few are stuffed, During the past slx months nearly one &onumf dnlm.- have been pald as bounty on wolve in Laramle county alone, and this does not tnclude the large number of walves killed during the winter, and whie will not be brought in until spring. In other portions of the territory & 1till greate ¥ number of wolves annually killed, At a rough estimate 12,000 wolves and coyotes are killed every yeor in Wyoming,” The nnmber of A Cold Weather Orank.Who Got No Consolation, Detroit Frec Press. “Well, I'll be shot if this isn't a snifter!” he eaid as he entercd a street- car which was occapied solely by two women. “‘Haven’t seen it as cold for twenty- five yecars,” he continued, as he stamped up and down the alsle and rubbed his ears. . The wemen pald him no attention and suddenly he psused and blurted out: “How on earth some folkses’ ears and feet can stand the weather, exposed as they are, is more’'n I can see. I shoald thiuk a day like this would carry off half the femsle eex.” No reply was made, but one of the la- dles arose and opened the rear door of the car and the two took seats clase to it and began to fan themselves with newe— papers. The cld fellow watched them for about a minute and then bolted through the front door and dropped to the ground and called to the driver: “Keep my old b cents and be hanged to you, but { wont ridein a car with no sich cranks if I lose my whole twen!y-five toes!” | ———— Post Office Changes.
