One pack, formerly kept at Fort Benton, until wolves in that neighborhood became scarce, had nearly seventy-five to its credit, most of them killed without any assistance from the hunter; killed moreover by the greyhounds alone, there being no other dogs with the pack.

These greyhounds were trained to the throat-hold, and did their own killing in fine style; usually six or eight were slipped together.

General Miles informs me that he once had great fun in the Indian Territory hunting wolves with a pack of greyhounds.

They had with the pack a large stub-tailed mongrel, of doubtful ancestry but most undoubted fighting capacity.

When the wolf was started the greyhounds were sure to overtake it in a mile or two; they would then bring it to a halt and stand around it in a ring until the fighting dog came up.
