Wolf Hunter and Dog Fight End in Squire’s Reward
In Alden a theft of Southdown sheep triggers a hunt for a wolf and a disputed dog suspected of killing the flock. Joe Kinney defends his innocence as the trail leads to a gray wolf fought by Kinney’s dog Tige, finally proven by paw prints and the hound’s track. The squire awards Kinney fifty dollars and offers him a livestock post, which Kinney declines, preferring backwoods life.
