Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 77, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 June 1901 — Killed The Wolf Patriarch. [ARTICLE]

Killed The Wolf Patriarch.

Nelson Griggs, a 16 or 17 year old boy, son of Jim Griggs, of Barkley, brought a wolf scalfi to town Wednesday, to claim the bounty. He killed the wolf on Tuesday. It came right up close to the house, and their dog began scrapping with it. Nelson went out with his gun, galled the dog off, and plugged the wolf. It was a very old wolf, its teeth being worn to mere stumps and its fur being very grey.
