Lobo's skin
------
----Seton and wolf foot print---------
Despite the danger, Lobo followed Blanca's scent to Seton's ranch house where they had taken the body.
Seton then set more traps, using Blanca's body to scent them.
----------January 31, 1894---------------------
I gathered in all the traps I could command, one hundred and thirty strong steel wolf-traps, and set them in fours in every trail that led into the cañon; each trap was separately fastened to a log, and each log was separately buried. In burying them, I carefully removed the sod and every particle of earth that was lifted we put in blankets, so that after the sod was replaced and all was finished the eye could detect no trace of human handiwork. When the traps were concealed I trailed the body of poor Blanca over each place, and made of it a drag that circled all about the ranch, and finally I took [49] off one of her paws and made with it a line of tracks over each trap. Every precaution and device known to me I used, and retired at a late hour to await the result.
Once during the night I thought I heard Old Lobo, but was not sure of it. Next day I rode around, but darkness came on before I completed the circuit of the north cañon, and I had nothing to report. At supper one of the cowboys said, "There was a great row among the cattle in the north cañon this morning, maybe there is something in the traps there." It was afternoon of the next day before I got to the place referred to, and as I drew near a great grizzly form arose from the ground, vainly endeavoring to escape, and there revealed before me stood Lobo, King of the Currumpaw, firmly held in the traps. Poor old hero, he had never ceased to search for his darling, and when he found the trail her body had made he followed it recklessly, and so fell into the snare prepared for him. There he lay in the iron grasp of all four traps, perfectly helpless, and all around him were numerous tracks showing how the cattle had gathered about him to insult the fallen despot, without [50] daring to approach within his reach. For two days and two nights he had lain there, and now was worn out with struggling. Yet, when I went near him, he rose up with bristling mane and raised his voice, and for the last time made the cañon reverberate with his deep bass roar, a call for help, the muster call of his band. But there was none to answer him, and, left alone in his extremity, he whirled about with all his strength and made a desperate effort to get at me. All in vain, each trap was a dead drag of over three hundred pounds, and in their relentless fourfold grasp, with great steel jaws on every foot, and the heavy logs and chains all entangled together, he was absolutely powerless. How his huge ivory tusks did grind on those cruel chains, and when I ventured to touch him with my rifle-barrel he left grooves on it which are there to this day. His eyes glared green with hate and fury, and his jaws snapped with a hollow 'chop,' as he vainly endeavored to reach me and my trembling horse. But he was worn out with hunger and struggling and loss of blood, and he soon sank exhausted to the ground.
-------------------------------
On January 31, 1894, Lobo was caught, with each of his four legs clutched in a trap.
On Seton's approach, Lobo stood despite his injuries, and howled.
Touched by Lobo's bravery and loyalty to his mate, Seton could not kill him.
He and his men roped Lobo, muzzled him and secured him to a horse, taking him back to the ranch.
Lobo refused to acknowledge his captors; they secured him with a chain and he just gazed across the prairie.
Lobo died that night, although Seton knew he died of a broken heart.
1893 Hunt in the Territory of New Mexico, USA, for “Lobo,”
a clever marauding wolf so famous locatlly that he had acquired a name and and identity.
Seton was sorry-to kill so fine an animal. but he did not kill “Lobo’s” spirit.
Later he would use the wolf paw print as part of his signature.
Also, a deep and long-lasting friendship began with Canadian Native poet E. Pauline Johnson.
Ernest Thompson Seton[1860-1946] was an artist, naturalist, environmentalist, explorer, t
he founder of the Woodcraft League and Co-founder of the Boy Scouts of America.

圣经的创世记中有一个许多人都熟悉的记载，就是约瑟被兄长卖了给一些前往埃及的以实玛利商人。
那队商人从基列来，他们用骆驼驮着香脂和其他货物去埃及。（创世记37:25）
Gen 37:12 約瑟的哥哥們往示劍去放他們父親的羊。
Gen 37:13 以色列對約瑟說：「你哥哥們不是在示劍放羊嗎？你來，我要打發你往他們那裡去。」約瑟說：「我在這裡。」
Gen 37:14 以色列說：「你去看看你哥哥們平安不平安，群羊平安不平安，就回來報信給我」；於是打發他出希伯崙谷，他就往示劍去了。
Gen 37:15 有人遇見他在田野走迷了路，就問他說：「你找什麼？」
Gen 37:16 他說：「我找我的哥哥們，求你告訴我，他們在何處放羊。」
Gen 37:17 那人說：「他們已經走了，我聽見他們說要往多坍去。」約瑟就去追趕他哥哥們，遇見他們在多坍。
Gen 37:18 他們遠遠的看見他，趁他還沒有走到跟前，大家就同謀要害死他，
Gen 37:19 彼此說：「你看！那做夢的來了。
Gen 37:20 來吧！我們將他殺了，丟在一個坑裡，就說有惡獸把他吃了。我們且看他的夢將來怎麼樣。」
Gen 37:21 流便聽見了，要救他脫離他們的手，說：「我們不可害他的性命」；
Gen 37:22 又說：「不可流他的血，可以把他丟在這野地的坑裡，不可下手害他。」流便的意思是要救他脫離他們的手，把他歸還他的父親。
Gen 37:23 約瑟到了他哥哥們那裡，他們就剝了他的外衣，就是他穿的那件彩衣，
Gen 37:24 把他丟在坑裡；那坑是空的，裡頭沒有水。
Gen 37:25 他們坐下吃飯，舉目觀看，見有一夥米甸的以實瑪利人從基列來，用駱駝馱著香料、乳香、沒藥，要帶下埃及去。
