MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
Catches Wolf With His Hands
George Whatley, Texas Cow Puncher, Captures Alive "Old Dog
Eater" the Huge Brute Which For Years Had
Terrorized the Panhandle.
The "king wolf of the southwest," a
huge brute that hns terrorized the Tex
as Panhandle for years, has been cap
tured at last. He was caught bare
handed by a plainsman wolf catcher,
who ran hlni down ou n fleet broncho.
The career of "Dpg Eator," as the
old wolf Is called, and his final arrest
will go down as one of the classic ani
mal stories of tlje west.
Old Dog Eater today is chained to an
irou stake sunk deep In the ground a
short distance out of Groom, Tex. lie
trots restlessly, dragging tbo chain, and
now aud then Vents his feelings In pro
longed howls of rage and grief.
Dozens of persons have been to see
him at bis tethpr, standing always at
a respectful distance. Every one says
he is the largest wolf that ever loped
across the plains or killed a mastiff
dog. So Immense Is he that the wolf
looks almost like a broncho at a little
distance.
The business men of Groom, which
was the center of the wolf's depreda
tions, offered a reward In cash for his
capture, dead or alive, aud George
Whatley, who captured him, is the
hero of the Panhandle today.
The name of the glgautle wolf was
won by his fondness for dog flesh as
food. No dog could face him in com
bat and escape. He has been knowu
to gallop Into the heart of one of the
prairie towns, select some large dog,
fly at him, kill him in a moment's time
and make a meal of the carcass before
the terror stricken public could lift a
hand to kill the pest.
It Is estimated that in Groom alone
sixty dogs, many of them valuable ani
mals, have been killed to furnish ban-j
quets for Dog Eater. Daylight and!
darkness were alike to him. Often he|
was distinctly outlined against tho
sky. He had seen tho riders long be
fore they had seen him. lie watched
them curiously, as if waiting to'see If
they were after him. It was the first
time in his Ufo any one had ventured
out to do battle with him.
"Well, boys, here's where tho chase
begins," said Whatley, "and I'm off."
At the word he sank hlB spurs Into
the flanks of his little broncho. The
animal sprang forward, with a snort of
pain and fear. Whatley headed straight
for the wojf.
Old' Dog" Eater regarded the in
coming horseman for a moment Then
he turned and, with a great leap, be
gan his flight. Like a champion trot
ter he covered long stretches of! turf
In an Incredibly short space of time.
Ills eyes were bulging, his red tongue
hanging out of his mouth, as he pant
ed onward. Behind him thundered
the broncho, with Whstley In the sad
dle.
Mile after mile pursuer and pursued
raced across the plains. Little by lit
tle the broncho gained on Dog Eat
er, whose great muscles were giving
way under tho tremendous Btrnln and
whose breath was almost exhausted by
his effort The grttty llttlo pony was
almost upon him.
Then a startling thing happened. It
was witnessed by Whatley's compan
ions, who followed in the rear. It al
most stngsercd Whatley.
The wolf, his M>d lips curled back,
his eyes flashing" flre, suddenly wheel
ed and spraug with a snarl straight
for the threat of the pony. His aim
missed. III4 sharp fang did not sink
Itself Into the flesh, but cut In two the
bridle rein Whatley held In his hand.
In an Instant man and horse were
THE WOLF SPRANG STRAIGHT FOR HIS THROAT.
has been seen. tils eyes blazing, his
white teeth gleaming unil his bushy
tall waving. making his way through
the streets nqd alleys, while house
wives screamed In terror and locked
doors and men ran for cover.
Time aud agsiln he has been shot nt,
but he seemed to cure nothing for bul
lets. At the sound of u rltle he would
turn and snarl, but would not quicken
his pace. He fouud a dog and ate him.
Then he trotted lazily away to the
prairie.
The depredations of Dog Eater were
becoming so frequent aud so startling,
women aud children were becoming so
fearful of leaving home and the town
was so unsettled generally that the
business men of Groom made np a
purse of $50 to be paid to anybody
who would dispose of the wolf.
A little body of bold spirits, who
cared less for the reward than for the
zest of adventure, mouuted '
consisted of E. E White, station agent
nt Groom; R. C. Dalle?, a banker; C.
$. Roydsun, a ranchman, aud George
\Vhatley, the most during spirit among
the cow puuehera around Groom.
Whatley's fame as u wolf hpnter
was wide, and he ma*\e the boast that
he would capture olu Dog Eater alive,
but all shook their heads.
The party carried a strong chain, a
stout leather collar, re-enforced with
bands of stecL. and some wire netting
as an Improvised muzzle, for it was
the announced Intention of Whatley to
bring back old Dog Eater without
harming a hair of his gray coat
The men galloped away from town
In the direction taken by Dog Eator
when he departed after his last Inva
sion of the town u day or two before.
As they rode over the prairie they kept
a sharp lookout for the quarry.
About five miles out they came In
sight of Dog Eater. The immense
beast stood on a little knoll. His body
(ind set out to liiul him
beside the wolf. Whatley leaped from
the saddle, and the wolf sprang
straight for his throat
Whatley's upraised hand was ready
for hlti* He seized the lower Jaw of
the wolf In a grip like a vise and held
him. The others dashed up, the collar
?re put on old Dog Eat
head. Weary and vanquished, his
haughty spirit broken for the time be
ing, ho was led behind the pony Into
Groom. At sight of the terror of the
plains the people gave throe cheers for
Whatley.
When the townspeople learned the
particulars of the capture, they were
dumfounded. Whatley was compelled
to answer many Inquiries as to wheth
er It was not dangerous to capture
wolves barehanded, especially to seize
them by the Jaw. Said he:
"No; I have caught scores of coyotes
and other kinds of wolves, but I never
found them troublesome to handle. The
secret of It Is that a wolf cannot bite
until after ho has rested a few min
utes. When he runs a mile or two at
a high rate of speed, his tongue swells,
tilling his mouth, and until be can
blow a few minutes ho Is powerless to
bite you.
"His two long tusks aro used to cut
with, but I never give them a chance
to 'side swipe* me. I manage to grab
them Just as they make a leap at my
neck, and that settles It
"I have read about John Abemathy
catching them alive, but he uses heavy
gloves to protect his hands. I don't
need gloves. It Is no trick to catch
them by the lower Jaw if you know
how to do It.
"I could teach President Roosevelt
how to catch them alive If he woifld
come out here.
"Yes, old Dog Eater was hard to
handle even after 1 got his Jaw, but ho
Is safe now. He Is the biggest wolf
ever caught In this country."
