Kills Wolf With A Club Near Carrollton
Robert T. Black, a noted farmer near Carrollton and cousin of Prof. A B Black, killed a large wolf with a club near his home. It was the first wild wolf in years, the animal caught in barbed wire before Black struck it, then hauled to town for display on the square. The wolf may have crossed from Calhoun on the ice and preyed on Black’s pigs, marking a rare western county wolf drive after decades.
