The trail of the Loup; being a history of the Loup River region . 68 THE TRAIL OF THE LOUP Bears were never plentiful in our state, the Niobrara country alonebeing their natural haunt. In 1875, however, it appears that one hadwandered far to the south of his native wilds, for in that year WilliamPierson killed a large silvertipped bear (Ursus Americanus) between theNorth Loup Eiver and Brush Lake. Of carnivorous beasts several species of timber wolves skulked about inthe wooded canyons, and the night on the prairie was often made hideouswith the yelp of the prairie wolf, or coyote. A few lynxes and wild catswere shot in the timber lands. Such valuable fur bearing animals asthe beaver, otter, mink and marten were numerous. Raccoons and badgersyet survive. Opossums, while more at home farther south, have been. In His Native Wilds. found on the Calamus and the upper Loup. Polecats and skunks, prairiedogs and ground squirrels of many species have always been with us.Gallinacious birds were represented by four species, and of those onlythree now remain. Of these the wild turkey has been seen only a few timesin our section, and that long ago. The sharp tailed grouse were verynumerous at one time but are now much reduced in numbers. The prairiechicken and quail arrived in the settlements with the first crops and havebeen with us in goodly numbers ever since. The enforcement of stringentgame laws has made both of these birds, and especially the industriousand useful little quail or Bob White very plentiful. Answerine birds are represented in many species of ducks, geese andbrants. Wading birds, such as the king plover, the piper and the graysnip^ are abundant in the lowlands while the shrill call of the long billed GLIMPSES OF THE NORTH LOTTP VALLEY 69 curlew is still heard in the sand hills.
