FISHING FOR WOLVES. Only Way Trapper In Alberta Coui& Catch Largo Timber -Wolf. A novel method of catching wolves, adopted by a trapper in Alberta, 'las attracted much attention. The trapper was worried by a big timber -wolf which raided his winter stores. He tried to shoot it, but could not get a sight of the animal; he laid poison baits, but the wolf was too artful to touch them; he set all sorts of traps, but the brute avoided them. At last he set a fish- ing line with a big hook baited with fish, and now he has brought rn one of the biggest wolf pelts ever seen 1n Edmonton. It is all old trick of English poach- ers to set a line 01 hooks along 0 hedgerow, each baited with a bit of fat, and to tills way to catch pheas- ants. It is a brutal business, but a particularly deadly way of securing ionptatils. The Chinese thief uses a hook and lino fastened to the .end of a long bamboo, to angle through upper win- dows for anything that the hook can catch. It is not unusual for the oc- cupant of an hotel bedroom to find, ear waking, that all his clothes nave gnu.-, and with them, of course, any- thing that he chanced to have left in the pockets overnight. The writer has taken turtles with hook and line, the hook being baited with raw beef, and has seen a poison- ous snake caught upon a hook baited with a small live frog. He has also seen a grass snake taken by a fisher- man on an English stream. In this case the snake was swimming and the fly hook caught in its body. He has himself accidentally hooked a. .wal- low which swooped at his fiy in mid- air, and a duck which took a worm when he was still fishing, A well-known fisherman, after San - trout by night hooked an otter, which, of course, broke his line, while cormorants have more than once been taken on a baited hoot: dragged through the water.
