Wolf Pits
Jcffcrsonian.
In many places in Chesterfield th
county are found what appears m
to have once been very large m
wells. In some instances they It
are only slight depressions in the w
ground; in others they are still w
several feet deep,despite the long et
continued filling-up process, o
Three generations ago when tr
pigs, sheep and calves were the tli
easy .and frequent prey of savage, n
white-fanged wolves, and when li
it was dangerous for children to d<
venture far from home alone, p
farmers dug under the low w
overhanging branches of trees j\
pits much larger than present d
day wells, and from ten to fifteen a:
feet deep. Usually such a pit fi
was slightly larger at the bottom
than at the top. A piece of juicy
bacon was swung from a limb
directly over the mouth of the n
pit, which was concealed by a jj
light covering of canes, leaves
or pine straw. When Mr. Wolf u
came along, he scented the ba
con, leaped for it, and whether r<
he reached it or not, he naturally
fell through the light covering t|
into the pit, where he stayed 'till
dispatched next morning by the *
handy rifle. Another plan was
when the hogs or beeves were v
butchered to throw the refuse
meat into the pit whose top was l(
left uncovered. The strong
odor of the fresh meat would y
entice the wolf into jumping in- ^
to the pit, which was so deep
that he eould not get out again.
One of the early settlers on the p
east side of Blaak creek one j
morning found six wolves thus
j entrapped. ^

"Fishing," was the laconic re
Drt.
The stranger laughed. "Pray <
/hat is the use of fishing under
