Big Game and Wolves.

1t is not often that one nights adventure
in Michigan in these modern days deals
with dear, bear and wolves, but here is
such one. Mrs. James NJ. Fowls, of
Strongville, was descending the upper pen
insular Pine river in small boat on a
Sunday, when a large buck deer, pursued
by wolves, plunged into the stream. II
made directly for her craft and jumped half
into the boat. The woman jumped out, and,
standing up to her waist in the water, she
struck the deer between the horns with her
paddle.
She succeeded in cutting one jugular
with jackknife, when a wolf made an at
tempt at it for his prey, swapping a piece
out of one shoulder. Mrs. Fowls turned
her attention TO the wolf, dealt him blow
with the paddle and put him to fight.
The others did not trouble her, and she
succeeded in finishing the deer with her
knife and putting the carcass into her boat.
When she landed at Strongville she turned
her boat over her game, walked home two
miles and told her husband.
When he reached the boat he found a
bear in the act of making meal of one
leg of the deer. Bruin was frightened
away and Mr.. Fowls took home deer
which dressed 200 pounds. The 500 Demo

4 BALLOON TRIP.

In the issues of the Bombay papers OF

who had reached Bombay, with the idea OF
giving ascensions in all the larger towns
in the country. The aerOnaut had fallen
sick, been despoiled of his cash, and he
sold his balloon to Mazam and quit the
country in disgust. Mazam was now going
into ballooning for the adventures it might
bring, and when he invited me to make the
first trip with him was not five seconds in
giving him my promise.
The Sd of June was "A fete day, and the
city was filled with an immense crowd.
The balloon was new, very strong, and
MaZam had plans beyond a mere ascension.
We packed the car with provisions enough
to last a week, took along rifles, revOlvers
and ammunition, and made all prepare.

winds in Bombay from May to July are
from the south, or up the Arabian sea, and
so we privately counted on being waited
inland, perhaps to the Turkish boundary.
The people in general had the idea that we
would descend within few miles of the
town. and more than score of men came
forward and volunteered to make the trip

the balloon could easily have carried five OF
six men. Asst was she shot up like a
bird when all WAS ready to let go, and in a

it ss.csrefuIly as If it were worth some>

lumber, etc, through the open sash
before the glass is put in. They would
continue to do it even after the glass is
IN if we didn't do something to attract

always see new windows daubed with
