Texas Cow Puncher, Captures Alive "cid Dog Eater,"~the Huge Brute Which For Years Had Terrorized the Panhandle. The "king wolf of the southwest," a huge brute that has terrorized the Tex as Panhandle for years, bas been cap tured at last He was caught bare handed by a plainsman wolf catcher, who ran him down on a fleet broncho. The career of "Dog Eater," as the Old wolf is called, and bis tinal arrest will go down as one of the classic ani mal stories of the west Old Dog Eater today is chained to an iron stake sunk deep in the ground a short distance out of Groom, Tex. He trots restlessly, dragging the chain, and now and then vents bis feelings in pro longed bowls of rage and grief. Dozens of persons have been to see him at his tether, 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 be 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 depredn tions, offered a reward in cash for his capture, dead or alive, and George Whatley, who captured him, is the hero of the Panhandle today. The name of the gigantic wolf was won by bis fondness for dog flesh as food. No dog could face him in com bat and escape. He bas been known 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 quets for Dog Ea'er. Daylight and darkness were alike to him. Often he was distinctly outlined against the sky. He bad seen the riders long be fore they had seen him. He watched them curiously, as if waiting to see if they were after him. It was the rirsl time in his life any one had ventured out to do battle with him. "Well, boys, here's where the chase begins," said Whatley, "and I'm off." At the word he sank his spurs into the flanks of bis little broncho. The animal sprang forward, with a snort of pain and fear. Wkatley headed straight for the wolf. 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. His eyes were bulging, his red tongue hanging out of bis mouth, as he pant ed onward. Behind him thundered the broncho, with Whatley 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 the tremendous strain and whose breath was almost exhausted by his effort. The gritty little pony was almost upon him. Then a startling thing happened. It was witnessed by Wbntley's compan ions, who followed in the rear. It al most staggered Whatley. The wolf, his red lips curled back. Iiis eyes flashing fire, suddenly wheel ed and sprang with a snarl straight for the throat of the pony. His aim missed. His 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, his eyes blazing, his white teeth gleaming and his busby tall waving, making his way through the streets and alleys, while house wives screamed In terror and locked doors and men ran for cover. Time and again he has been shot at, but he seemed to care nothing for bul lets. At the sound of a rifle he would turn and snarl, but would not quicken his pace He found a dog and ate him. Then he trotted lazily away to the prairie. The depredations of Dog Eater were becoming so frequent and so startling, women and children were becoming so fearful of leaving home and the town was so unsettled generally that the bubincss men of Groom made up 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, mounted bronchos ! and set out to find him. The party consisted of E. E. White, station agent at Groom; R. C. Dailey, a banker; C. E. Boydsun, a ranchman, and George Whatley, the most daring spirit among the cow punchers around Groom. Whatley's fame as a wolf hunter was wide, and he made the boast that he would capture old Dog Eater alive, but all shook their heads. The party carried a 6trong chain, a stout leather collar, re-enforced with bands of steel, 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 Eater when he departed after bis last inva sion of the town a 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 6ight of Dog Eater. The immense beast stood on a little knoll. His body beside the wolf. Whatley leaped from the saddle, and the wolf sprang straight for his fhroat. Whatley's upraised hand was ready for him. He seized the lower jaw of the wolf in a grip like a vise and held him. The others dashed up, the collar and chain were-put on old Dog Eat er, and wire was wound round his head. Weary and vanquished, his haughty spirit broken for the time be ing, be was led behind the pony into Groom. At sight of the terror of the plains the people gave three cheers for Whatley. , When the townspeople learned the particulars of the capture, they were dnmfounded. Whntley 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 haudle. The secret of it is that a wolf cannot bite until after he has rested a few min utes. When he runs a mile or two at a high rate of speed, his tongue swells, filling his mouth, and until he can blow a few minutes he is powerless to bite you. "His two long tusks are used to cut with, but 1 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 Abcruathy catching them alive, but he uses heavy gloves to protect his bands. 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 would come out here. "Yes, old Dog Eater was hard to handle even after I got his jaw, but he is safe now. He is the biggest wolf ever caught in this country." Has Been on Three Thousand Sprees. John T.

C, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills helped my back after every thing else had failed, and after I had thought that my back was worn out. They^made it stronger than it had been for five or six year.-, and seemed to put a new backbone in me. I have had a terrible time with hack ache which wac greatly aggiavated by my work and at times ! bed to lay off for I could not work on ac count of the acute pains across my loins. I could not begin to te'l you all I have suffered. The secretions from my kidneys also bothered me, were very dark in color and con tained sediment, being also too fre quent in action and annoying me during the day and preventing my resting well at nights. I applied plasters and rubbed my back with liniments but nothing helped me un til I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box. They were just what I needed and are the beat back ache remedy I ever used.
