A big room in the residence of Gov. Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay is filled with guns and trophies of his hunting trips.
Prominent among them all is the handsomely mounted pelt of a huge ghray wolf. The animal which once wore this splendid skin
did not fall before Governor Roosevelt's rifle. It was killed by an unarmed girl in Oklahoma, and so the hide was presented to
the governor by the girl's father. Miss Agnes Mulhall is the name of the Diana who brought the wolf to the bag.
Her father owns a vast stretch of territory in Oklahoma, including 15,000 acres of graving land. Miss Agnes and her sister
were out riding over this desolate country on Indian ponies when two enormous wolves started up a little distance away
and dashed off at a rapid gallop. The two girls had no other weapons than the lariats which swung at the saddle bows, but
they set chase after the flying animals and finally got near enough for Miss Agnes to throw her lariat.
The noose settled around the big brute's throat, and the pony was quickly turned and started in the opposite direction.
After a hard run, with a pitched battle at the end of it, the wolf was finally killed.
Colonel Roosevelt saw the pelt when he visited the ranch last fall, and it was sent him as a Christmas present.
