That Is the war that is being waged ceaselessly and relentlessly by a body of picked men, the federal hunters of the United States biological survey, against the varmints" the mountain Hons, wolves, bears, coyotes, lynxes and wildcats which prey upon hot only the live stock on the western ranges but nlso upon other wild game which Uncle Sam would save from extinction. The beginning of this war dates back to 1915 when the inroads of the varmints' upon the live stock industry became so serious that the government appropriated $1:15,000 and handed over' to the biological survey the Job of protecting the herds and flocks In the West by u campaign of extermination against the marauders. State, county and private interests were linked up by the bureau and the resources of all pooled in a common cause. From that beginning has grown the present organization of nearly 400 of the most expert hunters and trappers in the stock country, hired by chiefs of districts in 17 states to carry on the work of extermination. They receive $100 a month, free ammunition, traps and poison and they are on the job in every season pitting their craft and their skill against the' cunning of the wiliest type of wild animal. If you. would see the last traces of the vanished frontier,' look for it among these federal hunters, for it is in their war on the beasts of prey that you will find the West that is still wild and woolly. The other day Denver newspapers carried the news that a two-yea- r campaign to kill a mountain lion which had been killing deer in the Carnero creek country near Monte Viste, Colo., ended when the animal was slain by Hunter John W. Cook. Two years may seem a long time to carry on a war against one animal but this is by no means unique in the work of the federal hunters. Just as it is proverbial of the Cunadian Mounted police that they always get their men," so is it becoming proverbial among these hunters that they always get their wolf, or cougar, or bear, and some of the stories of their long chases after these animal "killers are as thrilling as the s in the old days of the West. yarns of Outstanding among these is the story of the Custer wolf and of II. I. Williams, the government hunter who finally ran him to earth. For nine years the Custer wolf eluded every effort to trap him and although often sighted, no marksman was ever able to bring him down. He would eat nothing but his own kill so it was Impossible to poison him. At the beginning of his depredations among the live stock on ranches for a hundred miles around Custer, S. D., a reward was raised until a price of $500 had been set upon his head. He and his mate killed Finally his wantonly, wastefully, maliciously. mate was killed, but he did not take another and carried on a lone war for awhile. Finally the ranchers around Custer appealed to the government for help. The biological survey sent H. P. Williams, one of its best hunters, to take up the chase after the outlaw. Williams arrived at Custer In March, 1920 and at once All the began pitting his cunning a against of wolfs. summer long they played game with the wolf having several narrow escapes from the traps which Williams set. The end came October 11, 1920. when the Custer wolf stepped into one of Williams traps. He tore it from .ts A hundred and fifty yards away it mooring. the a on tree, but the frenzied strength of Wil-licaught meantime In the swivel. animal broke the miles from i:is was hot on- the trail and three came he set upon the been had the place the trap One shot from his rifle and jtrimal. tin' ..f the Custer wolf that had cost the man-hunt- hide-and-see- i: - ranchers of South Dakota more than $25,000 in live stock ended. It is not often thnt a wolf gets an extended obituary in the Congressional Itecord but such was the case with Old Three Toes, another South Dakota wolf thnt was an even more remarkable animal outlaw than the Custer wolf. During his career in Harding county, S. D., Old Three Toes is known to have destroyed more than $50,000 worth of live stock and although more than 150 men had been on his trail at one time or another. It was not until Junior Inspector Clyde E. Briggs of the biological survey went after him in 1925 thnt he was finally run to e$irth. Here is the story of Old Three Toes as the report of Inspector Knowles, printed in the Congressional Itecord last year, gives it: The history of Three Toes Is a difficult one to trace. His killing career is known to have begun In 1912, thirteen years ago. Legend has him killing at a still earlier time. Mr. Briggs states that the animal is an old one and he is certain that he was fifteen years old and believed him to have been nearly twenty years of age. Legend has it that this wolf came to Harding county from Montana, but his actual birthplace seems to have been in or close to the horse pastures of Charles Wilson, located in the bluffs on the east side of the Little Missouri river some eight or ten miles northeast of Camp Crook, S. Dak. With the stockmen of this wolfs early daye mostly gone, a reckoning of his depredations of those years, beyond the fact that he was even then notorious, cannot be made. In 1923' the Harding County Sheep and Wool Growers association and the banks at Buffalo, S. Dak., gathered Information of his killings, and at that time they advised me that the known value cf his kills equaled fully $50,000. During six weeks of May and June of this year, 1925, he killed sheep to the value of $2,000 belonging to Devltt Bros. It was near the Devitt Bros. range that he was taken. He killed for other men during the spring of 1925, but I have not yet been furnished with the numbers or value of these In total they exceeded Devitt Bros. killings. losses, so that his known depredations In 1925 alone amount to more than $4,000. His largest kill in numbers of sheep for Devitt Bros, was made In two nights during May, when 64 sheep were deThey were valued at $380 and were a stroyed mixed bunch of ewes and lambs. The story of attempts to capture Three Toes is as interesting as Is the history of his depredations. More than 150 men have tried for him besides the men engaged in several big drives that were made by stockmen. No one seems to have had even the remotest chance of taking him aside from the traps that pinched off his toes, and these were, no doubt, set for coyotes and the happenings, no doubt, occurred in the early days of his career. Failing to trap this wolf, hunts were put on for him and Individuals attempted to run him down. On a night following one of the hunts or Mrlves made for him he killed one of the best saddle horses of the occasion when a hunter was region. On anotherhim down and had a relay of attempting to run some seven top saddle horses the wolf stopped durkilled 15 ing the afternoon at a sheep corral and adventures with various sheep. The stories of liisstockmen are interesting, hunters and groups of a.. ore soon comes to believe that Three Toes was much better versed In human lore than were his Mr. Briggs puts It. hunters versed in wolfology, as Mr. Briggs' taking this wolf in 15 days work was an achievement that men who knew the animal consider the greatest event in the annals of wolf on the Harney National hunting I wasallstationed but the last two weeks of the forest during career of the Custer wolf and know the history, written and unwritten, both of his depredations and his capture, and from this intimate acquaintance of both animals, the Custer wolf was not even in this Harding county wolfs class. leader Out in Colorado Bis Lefl.v. a three-leggeof a wolf pack in the crested butte section of the state, terrorized a wide range of country and caused the stockmen losses running up into the In 1913 this wolf was caught In a thousands. by gnawing off his left front but escaped trap foot just above the ankle and for the next eight years, despite this handicap, he maintained ills supremacy over his pack and left a trail of partly eaten carcasses wherever he roamed. Then in 1921 H. A. Roberts, a government hunter, took up the task of putting an end to Big Leftys nefarious career. He was on the wolfs trail for three weeks but finally the animal stepped Into a trap which he had set. And this time Big Lefty did not escape.
