    Details of a thrilling fight in which an enormous timber wolf vanquished a pack of eighteen hounds has reached Mattoon. It occured on the Cizemore farm, near Marley, and was witnessed by Siebert Scott, William Creech and Mark Davidson, who were at work in a sugar camp. They saw the wolf running, followed by the dogs. The pursued animal was weak from the long chase, and seeing the men, ran into a shallow creek. There it turned at bay. The hounds attacked it viciously for an hour, but retired with slit noses, lacerated flanks and bleeding bodies. The wounded but victorious wolf was shot and killed by Scott as it clambered upon the bank.
