Miss Ellen Walker, Near Chamberlain S. D., Captures Big Animal With a Running Noose.
Miss Ellen Walker, who owns a stock ranch a few miles north of Chamberlain, S. D., has brought in the scalp of a large timber wolf which she captured herself.
All fall she has been troubled with this wolf, which was especially bold and vicious. It appeared to make its headquarters in a small ravine filled with timber, about a quarter of a mile from her house, and from this point it sallied forth in quest of food.
Miss Walker, spent all day on horseback rounding up her cattle for the night, when she uncovered the wolf in the act of making an onslaught upon a young calf. Her only weapon of offense was a rope attached to her saddle, and attempted to rope the animal.
This she succeeded in doing at the first attempt. She then started her horse on a run and dragged the animal home.
