Horrible story from Dakota

CHICAGO. March "A dispatch from
Fargo, Oak, says Word has reached
here that man and his son, living at
Poplar Grove, near Fort Totten, were
eaten by pack Of wolves last week. The
facts as near as could be obtained are
that the father and son left their house
with shoyels to clear the snow from a
haystack not more than fifteen or twenty
rods distant. They were at once fiercely
attacked by pack of wolves, which
literally eat them alive, while the wife
and mother gazed through the window at
the horrible sight, knowing il wes certain
death to 20 out. After the brutes had
eaten all the flesh off the bones they came
up 10 the house and ran around II seY-
eral times and then went away.

The Bo,tonians In the Poachers Last
Night.

Considering the Lenten season a large
audience welcomed the BostOnians last
evening at the Academy.
The opera rendered was a gem Of the
genius Of that erratic Frenchman,

dainty melodies caught the audience was
evidenced by the applause. Three enc0res

called for often, and should be very gral-
living 10 the BosiOnians in their efforts
10 give spice and vim to French opera

hands of the translator.
