Mrs. Taylor Shut the Oven Door on n
Dynamite Bomb.
This morning, as the family of Will
lam Taylor was about sitting down to
breakfast at their home in Phillips
burg, a terrible explosion occurred,
and, though the room with all the
furniture in it was badly damaged
and the walls partly demolished, no
one was killed, though the injuries
received are very serious.
Al boarder named Kelso, a quarry
man, had put eve dynamite car
tridges, each weighing a pound, in the
W of the cooking stove today. He
had not informed anyone of it. He
took out six, but, as he says, forgot

Mrs. Taylor and the two children are
very severely, if not fatally. injured
from the effects of the conclusion.
Mr.. Taylor's daughter Cora and a
friend, Miss Hulsizer, were standing
in the corner of the room at the time
of the accident but escaped unin-
jured.
The table, chairs and in fact every
vestage of furniture was broken into
small pieces. The four doors leading
from the Don were totally demol-
ished. and the window and a large
portion of the side of the house were
blown out, a greater portion of the
floor torn up, and nearly all of the
plastering was torn from the ceiling.
When the explosion occurred a cat
was quietly sleeping under the stove
and was driven clear through the floor
and mashed. The tea kettle was split
in two.

trail of the moose. They at once
dashed at the two nearest wolves, and
fierce fight, much noise and snarling,
ensued.
Come" said Nacola, ''quick, we help
'em dog" The boys ran to the rescue
Of the dogs just as the other wolves
were about to take part in the combat
Nacola shot one with his last bullet,
and as another wolf gathered for a
spring, Barclay sent heavy charge of
shot into its head, which, fired at ten
PAGES away, killed him as quickly as a
bullet could have done. The two
hounds were each in life and death
struggle with his antagonist, and Bar
clay with his gun-stock and Nacola
with his axe lent them help that settled
the fight in short order. But the wolves
still hung about as if ready to renew
the combat if the slightest chance Of
fered in their favor.
Crackl crack! came two shots from the
woods, and two wolves fell struggling.
The shutting of snow-shoes upon the
crust had not been heard by the boys,
as there came out of the woods two men
who looked for a moment in astonish-
ment on the scene and then fired at
once. At the sight of this reinforce
ment the discontinue of the wolves was
complete; they scattered in all dtrec-
lions, and in minute or two none were
to be seen. When the moose hunters
came out upon the ice, and saw the
crust torn up and tFodden by the moose,
and the bodies of eight dead wolves ~
ing about, they were too much aston
ished to think of the game they had
been pursuing, or do any thing else
than question the boys and hear from
them the story Of their long fight and
battle.
where are the moose we were chas-
ing?" cried one of the men presently. For
the first time since they came on the ice
the hunters thought of the moose, which
had taken advantage of the first lull in
the combat to continue their flight, and
now had disappeared in the dusk and
out upon theslake. The animals were
deemed to be too far away to admit of
successful pursuit in the darkness, al
though the dogs, with all their wounds,
were, like true bred hounds, ready to
resume the chase, NO use following
them at this hour" he added. Here,
help hold the dogs. They amt fit to go
further tonight, and besides, if they
get out Of our sight the wolves II kill
'em sure. We'd better skin those dead
wolves right away, before they freeze"
By the light of birch bark torches
brought from the shore the skins were
taken from the dead wolves. Then the
entire party went to the hunters camp,
two miles down the lake, where they
dressed the wounds of the dogs, which
were torn and cut by the sharp teeth Of
the wolves, but were fortunately not
dangerously hurt.
Young Barclay and Nacola passed the
night with the hunters. On their de-
parture the following day they each Sc
lected two wolf skins for himself and al
lowed the hunters to retain the others
in acknowledgment of their timely help.
As the boys pushed out on their way to
Greenville in the bright morning, the
carcasses of the dead wolves were the
only appearance upon the smooth sur
face of the lake to remind them of the
perils OF the day Observation-Disclosures

In the air.
At this moment when the circle Of
wolves closing in upon Thorn was so near
that the distance to the boys could al
most be covered at spring, there came
suddenly from the shore close at hand
terrific cracking and smashing OF young
trees and bushes and the breaking of
snow crust and out from the thick I'M
dergrowth of the high wooded point
there came crashing down the bank an
enormous bull moose with the biggest
antlers that either of the boys had ever
seen, and behind this animal came two
younger moose. full grown, with antlers,
and these were followed by COW moose
and half-grown calf. The moose, evil
IDENTIFY much frightened at something
behind them, were running at great
speed in single file, with their noses in
the air and antlcrs thrown back against
their shoulders. The wind blew from
the shore, so that these animals, trust
ing wholly to their scent to indicate the
presence of danger, were in the midst
of wolves before they discerned their
presence or that of the boys.
When the foremost moose perceived
MS natural enemies about him, he
charged them at once. The wolves
yelped, snarled, snapped and got out OF
the way the best they could as the
moose rushed this way and that way at
the nearest ones, trying to toss them
with his horns, and striking savagely
with his fore feet The two younger
bulls turned to right and left facing the
wolves, while the COW and her calf
passed into the center, protected by the
three male animals. The wolves did
not attempt to approach the moose, but
drew back and ranged themselves in q
wide circle on the crust at a safe dis.
lance away.
A new sound mingled with the noise
of the fray, as there came baying and
bounding out from the woods two large
hounds, which were evidently on the

Boston nimrod, when asked If he had
ever seen a specimen of the creature
after which this lake was named.
"Well, should say SOP And he re-
lated for the benefit of the assembled
audience an adventure of young Tom
Barclay and an Indian lad commonly
called Mac" for short, although Nacola
was the full name.
These youngsters, said the story teller,
were out trapping one winter day when,
having crossed on the ice to an island
in the lake, they wcre startled by
harsh cries and bowls in the woods.
What noise is that, Nac?" asked
young Barclay.
Wolves" said Nacola. Call 'em one
to nuther."
The boys hid, but the wolves scented
them and soon began to howl around.
Nacola shot one wolf and tho pack soon
tore the poor beast into bits.
do you think they mean to attack
us, Nsc?" said Tom, as looking behind
him he saw that in different quarters at
least q dozen wolves were now in sight.
"Um, not know" said the Indian;
"bime by, p'raps, when sun goes
down"
The boys, realizing their danger,
pushed on down the lake. As the after
noon sun slanted near the tree tops, the
wolves were so close that Tom could
plainly distinguish the sharp, white
teeth of half dozen of tho largest Of
them, which ran together in advance,
with twice as many others coming to
ward them from different points Of the
lake. From time to time Nacols
stopped and fred on the nearest ones,
with the effect to check them for short
time. Neither of the boys had much
ammunition and each felt that they
were close upon some sort Of crisis
Barclay says he kept wondering which
Of his calves a wolf would nab first
Lets make a stand" said he, finally;
and stand they did till almost the last
shot was gone. They ceased to fire and.
strangely enough, the beasts ceased to
howl There was something ominous
