Christmas Non-denominational Program at Paris Tabernacle



History of Our Area - Wolves

 In June 1908, the six Rex brothers, William, Alfred, Arthur, Samuel, John Ozleand and Percy joined a partnership and purchased the Ford Ranch east of Randolph.  At that time their livestock was plagued with many wolf packs.  The men usually had to night-herd the stock.  They would round them up on the bed ground and hang lighted lanterns around.  One morning they awoke and found an old black cow nearly chewed into shoe strings.  One wolf in a pack was the killer or fighter.  A horse in the open meadow could out run a wolf.

One Christmas eve when the Rex boys were returning home from a dance they met a pack of eight wolves on the road just below the canal bridge in the river lane.  Each was on horseback so they gave chase.  All the wolves scattered but one.  He bristled up, snarled, and stood in the road ready to fight, but they called his bluff and rode straight for him, and he turned and sulked into the night..

That winter the Rex brothers trapped six wolves.  They did not like their dogs to enter into the fight for the wolves were fierce biters.  Some of the wolves they caught measured over six feet in length.
