Child Mourns Loss of ‘Wolf,’ Her Chum “woi.r.” “Wolf” is gone and little Elvlne Swarz, 10, has a sad heart. The dog disappeared Saturday and since that time Elvine hasn't slept very much. “Wolf” was her chum. He used to haul her around on the sidewalk as she clung to him on roller skates. About three weeks ago he disappeared, but broke away as a captive and returned. And “Wolf” Is not an ordinary canine. He's got a war record, having served with the Germars. A young soldier named Jack Clark sold him to Mr. and Mrs. P. G. Swan, the child's parents. He brought him to Indianapolis with great difficulty from the war zone for his father. When Clark got here he found his father had been dead and buried several months. Clark, heart-broken, re-enlisted —that’s why he sold “Wolf.” The Swarz family lives In the Colonnade apartments.
