Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The Banger Mercury of Dec. 30th, says, Albert Richards and P. A. Chase, were returning from Machias last Monday, when a large wolf crossed the road about two rods from them, in pursuit of a deer, which was about twenty feet ahead of the wolf. The wolf caught up to the deer about two rods after they crossed the road, and caught him by the neck; Richards and Chase had their rifles loaded by their side, which they both discharged at the same instant, killing both the wolf and deer., which was brought to the city. The wolf measured 7 feet 3 inches.
