A WILD WOLF KILLED.
An Adventure of To-Day With a
Flavor of Fifty Years ago.

FldVOf Oh Fifty ears ago.
Ohio State Journal
For some time past we have fire.
quently stated through the columns of
the State Journal that large gray wolf
was roaming about over the country in
the Vicinity of our village doing great
damage to sheep and other domestic an
imals. In a brief telegram yesterday
we stated that his wOlfShip had been
captured, and promised to give full par
appeared here and commenced doing
his bloody work about six weeks ago.
At first the farmers supposed their
sheep were being killed by dogs, but
close examination revealed the fact that
they were being killed by an animal
stran ge to our community. Accordingly
efforts were made for the purpose of
capturing him.
Several circle hunts were formed, and
upon one occasion his wolfship was sur
rounded by about 1000 men. After
scampering around in circle for few
minutes, he made Decline toward the
south, rushing through the lines and
fled without scratch. Hunters pur-
sued him with dogs and guns, but he
was so cunning and fleet that they could
not get near him. On last Saturday the
animal attacked some pigs belonging to
John Orf, who resides about one mile
south of Linnville. Mr.. Orr fired a rifle
ball, and though the wolf was about
eighty yards distant, the ball penetrated
the shoulder, breaking the left front
leg. Mr.. Orr Immediately dispatched
to Messrs. Bert and COMFY Yost, and
soon the latter were on the scene with
their hounds. The dogs took the track.
and after running about half a mile
the wolf jumped up and dashed away
on three legs. The dogs followed in
close pursuit, and after running
about six miles in a northeastern
direction the wolf attempted to Jump a
fence, but the loss of blood and over
exertiOn so weakened him that he failed
in the attempt. The dogs then sur
rounded him, and while they did not
dare take hold of him, they held him
prisoner until Mr.. YOSt arrived. Mr..
YOst jumped from his horse, seized a
club and struck the wolf on the head,
knocking him senselesS to the ground.
The capture took place on Flint Ridge,
one mile south of the camel coal bank.
The wolf weighs thirty pounds; it
measures four and one-half feet from
the end of its nose to the tip of it's tail :;
its height is about thirty inches; its
color is of light gray The damage it
has done here is estimated by the farm
ers at from $500 to 1000. The wolf has
been lying here on exhibition since
Saturday night in the store of C. B.
johnson d Co. 1t has been viewed by
hundreds of people, and was taken to
Newark to-day, where it will be turned
over into the hands of taxidermist.

TO lest A TAX LAW.
The Davidson Estate Asks for a
Mandamus Directed to Probate
Judge GOrman--.Legal Lore.

The case of The State of Minnesota,
ex rel. Edward E. Davidson, against E.
Stone German, was filed in the district
court yesterday. The complaint sets
forth that, since the filing of the inven-
tory in the above case. the probate
judge refuses to appoint time when
claims and demands against the estate
may be presented, and to proceed to the
administration of the estate, unless the
devisees or executors will pay the
county treasurer the sum of $4,000; that
such fee is so unreasonably high as to
| impede the administration of justice;
| that there are heavy debts outstanding
against the estate, and that the per-
sonal property is insufficient to pay the
| debts. An alternative writ of manda-
| mus is prayed for to compel the judge
| of probate to issue notice to creditors.
1t is said that Mr.. Davidson intends,
| by the above proceeding, to test the
| conStitutionality of section Q, chapter 7,
Revised Statutes 1878, which provides
| that no proceedings of any kind shall
| be had in any cause for the settlement
| of any estate subsequent to the return
| of the inventory until receipt showing
| the payment of the probate tax is
| shown. In all estates of 100000 or
| more tax of S5,000is eXacted.

Supreme Court.

Judge Dickinson, of the state supreme
court, has decided a very peculiar case.
1t was brought before the attention of
the supreme court about year ago. 1t
is the habeaS corpus case of Emma G.
Lembke against Frank Bechdel. both
of Scott county, for the possession of
little girl which, it was claimed, was il
legitimate. Up to the commencement
of the suit the child was cared for by
Bechdel; but the mother finally mar
ried, and then commenced these habeaS
corpus proceedings for the custody of
the child. The case came before the
court commissioner OF Scott county, who
ordered the writ to be issued; but the
district judge reversed the decision.
The supreme court holds that the dis
trict Judge has no juriSdistiOn in the
matter. hence the mother comes out vic
torious. Following is the syllabus:
State of Minnesota ex rel. Emma G.
Lembke, appellant, VS.. Frank Bechdel,
respondent. Syllabus: A court COM
missioner having, upon writ of habeas
corpus, heard and determined contest
between the relator and the respondent
for the custody of an infant, the district
Judge has no authority, upon reviewing
a certified statement of the testimony,
10 1GV6TSG Gildt utClSiOll, tlt SdIllC DolI1S
reasonably justified by the case, and
there being no assignable error. Con-
sent would not confer the necessary
jurisdiction. The discharge of sub
sequent writ issued out of this court for
the same cause discharged because the
question had been before adjudicatedl
did not determine which of the former
adjudications should prevail. The judg-
ment of The district court will be re-
versed. The order of the district Judge
for Judgment was not appealable and
that appeal will be dismissed.

NOTHING BUT TALK.

Several Important Matters Come
Before the Chamber of Com
merce, But No Action Taken.
Several changes i'll the bylaws were
proposed at the meeting of the chamber
of commerce yesterday morning by Gen.
Bishop and laid over. A communica-
ton from the Rochester, N. Y, cham
Der of commerce, asking the st. Paul
body to aid in the movement for the re-
duction of letter postage from cents to
1 cent, was referred to the mercantile
committee. A letter was read from
George H. Ely, of Cleveland, o., presi-
dent of the recent waterways conyen-
ton at Sault Ste. Marie, asking the ST..
Paul chamber to join the Cleveland
board of trade in petition against con-
structing bridge across the Detroit
river near Detroit. Gen. Bishop, from
the committee on transportation, re-
ported that the information received in
regard to the matter was so indefinite
that it was best not to take any action
at present, and the report was adopted.
The proposition to establish linen fac
tory in st. Paul was referred to a spe-
cial committee.

The waters Are subsiding.

There is still enough water on the
flats of the upper levee and also on the
flats beyond State street in West st.
Paul to afford good boating. and at the
same time keep those who were driven
from their homes by the food from Oc-
cupying the partially submerged domi-
Giles. The water, however. is
receding slowly but surely, and
the Bohemians are correSpondingly
happy. The gauge indicates that the
water is now several inches below the
danger point and subsiding as rapidly
as could be expected. 1t will be at least
two weeks, and perhaps longer, before
one can navigate the flats in anything
else than boat or raft, but no further
danger need be apprehended at this

"MONTE CRIsTO."
IA Good Audience Witnessed the
Old Play Last Night.


James O'Neill's s'Monte Cristo" is so
familiar to our theater patrons that it
needs no criticism. There are no
changes in the production and but few
in the cast since it was last played in
this city. The play is old enough to be
threadbare, but it is so full of strong
situations and stirring incidents as to
still be good drawing attraction.
There was quite good audience in
attendance last evening, the lower part
of the house being about two-thirds
filled, and the balcony and gallery being
pretty well crowded.
Miss Wilkes, who is best known in
connection with the famous Passion
play, takes the part of Mercedes this
season. She gives a good rendition in
the part. She is fine looking and makes
a dignifed countess.
Of the support, Mr.. Shannon as
Noirtier, and Mr.. Shewell in the part of
the innkeeper, continue to be favorites.
Mr.. Shannon was never seen to better
advantage than last night.
The same bill tonight and every
night this week.
