An Ugly Customer on Fish Hook

Monday last Nh octopus was caught
in Commencement Bay in about 800 feet
of water by tish-hooks. When brought
to the surface it was almost unmanage.
able, and it was only by a severe strug,
gle that it was hauled into q boat and
brought ashore. Once it seized upon
the bottom Of the boat and no effort
could loosen it, until it did so of it's own
accord after the vessel was setin motion.
One of its f%eelers came in contact with
one of the boys arms and it was only
induced to let go by beating the feeler
into jelly with a club. tits plenty large
enough to master q man and would be
o dangerous customer to meet IN the
water. 1t was a monster specimen, ha1-
ing arms OF feelers fully four feet long.
The arms are eight in number, and are
each supplied with 100 pairs Of suckers.
by which they seize and hold their prey.
Its body is purse-shapel without fins,
and is foot long and nearly the same

Struggle With A Wolf.

For many years the trapper Cheney
was o Feature" of the northern New
York wilderness. Every tourist
through the woods reckoned his &C.
q~uaintance as of the necessary ad-
ventures and all who returned from Lake
Golden and Mt. Tahawus brought home
choice collections-or collections,-of
forest stories related to them by "Dan-
iel Boone of the Adirondacks." Cheney
was a nan who knew how to face q wild
beast and never feared to do so-wheth-
er his antagonist was an angry moose,
Or a wildcat, panther, wolf, or bear.
One of the many close encounters out
of which he narrowly escaped was a
winter fight with a she-wolf which his
first shot failed to kill.
As he came upon the animal, raven
Gus with hunger. and foundering
through the snow, he raised his rife
and fired; but the wolf made a spring
as he pulled the trigger, and the ball
did not hit a vital part. She then
rushed at HIM %furiously.
He had now nothing but an empty
rife to defend himself with, and instant
ly clubbing it, he struck the wolf on
the head. So desperately did the
creature fight that he broke the stock
into fragments without disabling her.
He then seized the barrel. which, max
ing a better bludgeon, told with more
effect. The enraged animal seized the
har1 iron with her teeth and endeavorcd
to wrench it from his grasp--butit was
= matter of life and death with Cheney,
and he fought savagely. In the mean
time the wolf, by steppingon his snow
shoes as she closed with him, threw him
over.
He then thought the wolf would con-
luer, unless he could make his dogs,
which were securing the forest, hear
him. He called loud and sharp after
them, and soon one-a young hound
sprang into view; but no sooner did he
see the condition of his master than he
turned in alright, and fed into the
woods.
But at this critical moment, the other
hound burst in with a shrill, savage cry
and a wild bound upon the strugglii G
group. Selling the wolf by the neck,
he tore her fercely from his master.
Turning to graphic with this new foe,
she gave Cheney opportunity to gather
himself up, and fight to better advan-
tage; and soon, by a we'll directed blow,
he finished one of the severest battles
he had ever had with q wild beast.
After that lesson Cheney bought q
pistol-and took good care not to go
hunting again with a single tire-arm
barrel, and so run the risk of making
himself defenceless by missing q shot.

An Old Minnesota Land Suit.

Reports from Washington say the supreme

Minnesota courts in 1872, and involved the title
to q, o0 acres of land in Cottonwood and Muir

other, and the suit was brought to establish
title to the lands lying within the con-
