DETROIT, JAN. 3
Defeat and capture of the enemy.—Mr. Benjamin Clark, of this city, had set a number of traps for foxes, at a short distance in the rear of the town. One morning, last week, on visiting his traps, he found one of them was missing, and being unwilling to be outwitted by Reynard, he pursued the track of the fugitive for five miles, when instead of a fox, he found he had caught a tartar, in the shape of an enormous she wolf. Her worship showing signs of battle, Mr. Clark armed himself with a club and after a well contested conflict, made capture of his enemy, whom he actually brought to town alive.—The animal measured six feet nine inches from the nose to the end of the tail.
