Notorious Wolf Is Killed in Oregon
The famed white Lycan wolf of Syean marsh in southern Oregon has been killed by Elmer Williams, ending a 12 year stockman fear. Williams reported the wolf, a white male, that terrorized cattle, horses and sheep across a 20 mile range. The hunt began in 1925, with multiple trapping attempts foiled by other predators and floods. The baying of the wolf echoed 30 miles away on successive nights, leaving locals both relieved and wistful about a fading frontier icon.
