Ask Ross Hawks, the watchman, who chased the feller with a gun. “This here wolf skinner waited until dark, when the park was quiet and deserted; then he stole up to the wolf dens. He had a long branch he’d cut from a tree. That’s agin’ the law in the first place. You ain’t allowed to pick flowers' or destroy the shrubbery. He took this stick and this long potato knife and tied the knife to one end of the stick, an’ crept up close to the bars of the den. “The wolves didn’t know he meant ’em harm. They w r as asleep, any way. He woke ’em up by making a lot of funny noises with his meuth and scuffing his feet in the gravel. That’s agin’ the law, too, annoyin’ the animals. Hawks heard these peculiar noises, and he thought maybe one of the wolves wasn't feeling well, or somethin’. It was this disturbance which attracted his attention, arid you might say aroused his suspicions. “Well, this feller with the knife made the wolves curious. Maybe he smelled like somethin’ good to eat, I dunno. Anyway, they wandered over, and, as they came close to him, this idiot lunges at ’em with this here potato knife of his. Fortunately for the wolves they can see better at night than w r e can, and they’d duck out of the way. “How long this went on, I can't say; but Hawks sees this feller up

This feller sure could run from Ahat I hear. Hawks stops and fires shot after him, but at the rate was sajd to be goin’, I guess that wolfhound musta finished miles ahead of the ballet. “The police was notified, but they never did find that feller. It's a/ shame because a man who'd attempt felonious assault again’ a wolf at night when it's asleep in its own den ought to be punished.
