Dog Comes to the Rescue of Colorado Cow Herder in Nick of Time.
A cow herder, Mike Sullivan, encountered a large gray wolf at Prospect lake, near Colorado Springs, Col., the other day while attending to his cattle. Armed only with a club, he pursued it a short distance, when it turned on him. He flourished his club, but the beast snarled and refused to retreat. The two were but a few feet apart, and matters were getting quite serious for the man. At this juncture a Russian wolf hound appeared and a fierce fight followed.
The hound was shaken off and the wolf escaped into the lake, but returned to shore soon, as the water was quite cold. The fight between the wolf and the hound was renewed. This time the latter fastened onto his antagonist’s neck and held it until a few well directed blows from a club ended the struggle.
