Master Criminal Wolf Is Slain After Long Hunt

Washington, Dan 24. After a nine year reign of terror exacting 25000 in livestock the famed wolf known as the master criminal of the animal world was killed near Custer. Descriptions describe him as half wolf half mountain lion with extraordinary cunning and brutality. He killed for food taking only the choicest prey and sometimes murdered for mere revenge. The Department of Agriculture hailed the death as relief, noting he attacked traps and outsmarted hunters, and weighed 98 pounds with a six foot reach. The kill sparked a large celebration near Custer, rivaling Armistice Day enthusiasm.
