This morning at about 8 o'clock an

with his heart up In his throat, rushed

A Brave Woman.
Ne,c York San.

Near the village OF Fratsl, on the from.
tier OF Spain and Portugal. Theresa
Maria, who was carrying her husbands
dinner to him in the fields. was told by
Q little shepherd boy that q wolf was
prowling about the place. Wishing to
see one for the first time in her life, she
put down her basket and climbed up to
o high place to which the boy directed
her. There she saw the animal In the
act Of devouring o lamb. The shepherd
boy began shouting and throwing stones
to see whether he would let 60 its prey;
and the wolf in its fury then attacked
the poor little fellow; jumping up at his
face, tearing the flesh from his jaws,
and throwing him upon the ground.
The woman. seeing the boys imminent
danger. in an impulse Of heroic self.
devotion, ran on tho wolf Who'll.
ly unarmsd, seized tight hold OF
him, and then, after strug.
gle, conirivsd to blind him with
a stone. and eventually killed him.
Meanwhile the boy whom she had res.
cued ran, wounded o. he was, to seek
help in the village. While several vii.
layers were coming up, armed with guns,
stones and sticks, to kill the beast and
save the woman from Its fangs. she was
returning to the village covered with
blood, aud with her arms. hands and
face terribly wounded. She said that al
times she was on the point OF being
overcome, but contrived to keep the
animals throat In the close hold Of her
left arm, while hitting him hard on the
head with q stone which she was able to
pick up. She was taken TO the Mia
Hospital. A month aftsrward she died
there Of her wounds. and the shepherd
boy has since died OF hydrophobia.

Grant.
BosroS. June 2.-Ths Daily Advertise,
says regarding the California expedition
to meet Grant: Full explanation is
about being made to show that II is moi
political. and that q few Of Grants in.
innate friends are interested in the
scheme. It originated with ]. B. Mo.
Mullen 4 Brother Of Chicago. They
have obtained railroad terms at o little
over half rates, and will furnish the par.
ticulars. and this. 1t is claimed, is all
there is in 1t. The charge that the af.
fair is chiefly q speculation OF Horace
Porter. arises simply from the fact that
that the Pullman Car Company, with
which he Is connected, is to furnish
four cars for the excursion.
Definite information from Grants
party Is 10 the effect that he will take
the last steamer in June, from Japan,
arriving In San Francisco about August.
After looking around California, the
General has decided to spend some time
about Oregon and various parts OF that
region. where he was stationed in his
early army days. As has already been
reported he also Is very DESTROYS OF max.

These heroes are dead. They died

the embracing vines. They sleep be-
