Thursday, May 14, 1891 Oelwein, Iowa
The wolf was feared. Farms were scattered over the plain, and the barnyards were robbed of ewes and pigs; belated wayfarers were attacked, and sometimes even a child was carried away. This story is about an African American chased by a pack of wolves. He entered a hut and climbed the beams to the roof. The wolves broke down the door and howled in anger at his escape. He was stuck on the roof until help arrived.

Mr. King suddenly found himself surrounded by a pack of between forty and fifty gray wolves. They thought they "Had him foul, and would lunch at his expense": but they made one slight mistake. Instead of being- armed only with an ax as they supposed, he had a good repeating rifle and plenty of cartridges.
That attacked last for a ˝ hour. In the end 16 wolves laid dead. If not for his rifle he would surely have been lunch for such a large pack. This happened in British Columbia.
THE TIMES-DEMOCRAT. LDtŁ OHIO SEOUL. Korea, June 19, 1916
This havoc was wrought by tigers, leopards, bears and Korean wolves, but it was the wolf, according to official statistics, that did the greatest amount of harm. It is estimated that these ferocious creatures slew 113 persons and injured 50 besides killing or Injuring 517 cattle and 1519 other domestic animals.
Unarmed peasants are easy targets for bloodthirsty wolves. This is the plan for America. First, build up the wolf numbers so high hunting is closed. Once hunting is closed off then disarm the people. The results; slaughter by wolves in the hundreds for the people. It is a fact. Wolves only understand one language kill or be killed.

A large she wolf of the Lovro variety came bounding directly at him from the den. He fired and killed the beast; but there emerged eight half-grown wolves from the den, and at once attacked him with great furor. He seized a lire oak limb and helped upon his defense. The wolves were now all around him snapping and snarling. In a few moments four of his assailants were killed, and the remainder, having all received more or less injury, took to their heels.
