SHOW SLIDE'' WOLF
BILLINGS, Mont., April 14. V7P)—
‘‘Old Snow Slide,” responsible during
the past 10 years for the kiilr.g o!
j livestock valued 'at approxinw.elj
$30,000, has after eight, months oi
strategy fallen victim to a skil'ed
hunter, Barney Brannin, governmen
employe, captured the farmer men
ace.
J The wolf’s death came as a result
I of poison bait—a trap which he had
I avoided for years.
j Although he used three different
horses in seeking to capture ‘‘Old
j Snow Slide,” the wolf came to recog
nize the scent of their tracks as well
as tlmse of Brannin. In order to
! outwit the animal Brannin resorted
to the plan of leaving his horse on
the travelled highway and then made
a covering of sheepskin which he
placed over his shoes before leaving
the trail to go out and prepare his
bait.
WILLIE RITCHIE MIT
ATTEMPT COMEBACK
SAN FRANCISCO, April 14. (JP)—1
The question that agitates every ex
champion until it is answered by a
flattening punch is permeating the
mind of Willie Ritchie, former light
weight champion of the world.
It is. “Can I come back?”
The defeat Willie received three
years ago from Jack Simonich was
not decisive enough to quell his long
ing to get back into the game now
that purses are long and bouts short.
Consequently he has been training
in secret—boxing, playing handball,
punching the bag and skipping rope,
e is 30 years old, has never dissipat
ed, says he is in fine physical condi
tion and believes he will know by
the middle of April whether he will
make the try.
