H. Michaels says that we have told numerous wolf stories in the past and upon these grounds requested the privilege of telling us one which could be used for publication if desired, so the privilege was granted. The thirteen year old daughter of Mr. Michaels was out in the pasture herding cattle when the cow dogs caught a coyote which was almost full-grown. She securely tied the animal with a larietrope, put it in the saddle and took it home alive, a distance of over a half mile. cemetery lot bought by Lewis Jorgensen
