How Russian Wolves Capture Wild
Horses.

Whenver wolves associate topether
Tor mischief, there is always n numer-
oas train of smaller ones to follow in the
rear and act as auXilaries in the work
OF destruction. Two large wolves are
ssutficientt to destroy the most powerful
morse, and seldom more than two ever
begln the assault, although there may
be score in the gang. 1t is no less
curious than amusing to witness their
ingenious mode of attack. If there is no
snow, or but little on the ground, two
wolves approach in the most playful
ana caressing manner, lying, rolling
and frisking about, until the too credu-
lous victim is completely put off his
guard by curiosity and familiarity. Dur
ing this time the gang, squatting, are
looking On at distance. After some
time spent this way. the two assailants
separate, when one approaches the
horses head, the other his tail, with q
shyness and cunning peculiar to them
selves. AT this stage of the attack their
1rollcsome approaches become very in
teresting; the former is mere decoy,
the latter is the real assailant, and keeps
his eyes steadily fixed on the hamstrings
or flanks of the horse. The critical II O.
ment is then watched, and the attack
IS simultaneous; both wolves spring at
their victim al the same instant-one to
the throat, the other to the flank-and
it successful, which they generally
are, the hind one never lets go his hold
till the horse is completely disabled.
Instead of springing forward or kicking
to disengage himself, the horse turns
round and round, without attempting
defense. The wolf before then springs
behind to assist the other. The sinews
are then cut, and in half the time have
been describing it the horse is on its
side;. its struggles are fruitless-the vic.
tory is won. At this signal the lockers
on close in at a gallop; but the small fry
OF followers keep at respectful dis
lance, until their superiors are gorged,
and then they take their turn unmo-
lested.

Brutal Fight Between Man and Dog.

Ihe fight between PATSY Brennan, +"
the prize-tighter, and the Siberian blood
hound, in st. Louis, was one of the
most degrading spectacles ever wit
messed. The dog was of the very largest
breed, resembling more calf in size
than dog. and its muscles were as hard
as iron. 1t seemed to be nothing but
muscle. Its head and face were the
most repulsive that were ever carried by
dog. The fight took place in an old
stable, and among the spectators were
an ex-police commissioner, eX-judge,
three members of the house of delegates,
q very prominent physician and several
business men. Brennan stripped to the
waist. The owner of the dog had
much difficulty in holding the Siberian

vicious Sick him, Tige," the blood
hound was released and leaped straight
for the throat of the prize-fighter, wi o

turning him completely in the mir and

round and round his human antagonist.
snarling horribly and apparently gulp-
ing down his rage. He made several
felnts, but Brennan was watching him
too closely to be thrown off his guard.
All this time the crowd in the barn were
almost frantic with excitement, yelling
at their favorites and encouraging hound
ana man by every expedient they could
think of. AT last the dog got within
three feet of Patsy and made his spring.

them badly before the hound released
his hold, and both the fighters were
taken from each other by their friends.
Ihe man was badly injured.
The collar bone was already bare and
the laceration of the shoulder was sim
ply horrible. The dog was compara-
lively as badly injured. One of his long
lips was so badly orn that it hung sew

been broken by the blow he got in the
'ace. He was just as plucky as the man,
however, and when he was loosed again

shoulder and side, and medical assist |

How the Ute Indians Live.

The Utes, who massacred Aoont
Meeker in Colorado, live principallv IN
bread and meat. When they can't oct
bread they live on meat, and when thew
can't get meat they live on bread.
W hen they, have q great quantity of pro-
visions on hand they eat it all UP before
getting any more. The same is true
when they have a small quantity on
hand. They are dirty. They are even
very dirty. Their meat is general v
permitted to lie about on the ground or
ary place. Each Indian family nos
sesses any number of dogs, from eight
to fifteen, and these animals help them
selves to the meat. After they have
satlshed themselves, and when the In
dians become hungry, they cut out ofthis
same piece on which the dogs feed.
Ihey generally boil their meat, but
sometimes they broil it. They put it in
water and let it remain only n few
minutes, just long enough to heat, when
they take 1t out and begin to eat. They
use the same water and same pail for
boiling over and over again until the
water becomes q perfect slime of filth.
one pot generally does service for the
entire family. This particular pot is
trying pan. When the Utes get out of
pea they wash their faces and bathe the
baby in it. after which they bake the
bread and boil the meat Then they
eat out of the vessel, and then the dogs
lick up the leavings. They clothe them
selves with the skins of animals or with
blankets. They generally take a blanket
or skin and cut hole in the middle of
1t and throw it over their heads, cutting
and fastening the garment at
the waist with wide belt, while they
close up the neck with n buckskin
string. When the garment wears out
they cut the string and let it drop, but
not before. Sometimes the Indians will
wear as many as five of these garments
at time, always keeping the cleanest
one on the outside
