Wolves Mt tho Door.

The cold weather and scarcity of food is driv-
ing wild animals out OF the mountains to the
valleys. Last week as Farmer Mikato, living on
his ranch three miles from Napavine. was bliss
fully drea ming Of being elected president of the
United states by the Farmers Alliance, his
slumbers were rudely disturbed By the barking
and growing of some animal at his house door.
Stepping from the presidential chair of his
dreams to the cold floor of his house, he peeped
through the window and beheld what he be-
hevcd to be dogs, trotting toward his smoke
house and endeavoring to dig their way to the
smoked meats. Closer inspection revealed the
fact that there were five hungry wolves waiting
to make breakfast off anything that would fill
an aching void. barring charge of buckshot
Mr. Mikato allowed the wolves the freedom Of
the premises, while he put an extra fastening on
the door and returned to peaceful sleep.

There appears 70 be every BIT as many Godfrey
men as Kilrain supporters, but the latter seems
to have the moneyed element at his back. The
two men are so closely watched by their respect
i've trainers that outsiders are not favored with
personal observations at their work.
Kiirsin will be seconded on Friday night by
William Muldoon and Jim Hall, the latter hay-
ing consented to 60 into the corner yesterday. II
il also reported from Joe Dcayes that Peter Jack

The BASEBALL Eight.

CINCINNATI, March 10.--The American Asso-
citation, after prolonged session today asserted
with much glee that the alleged National League
victory is not victory; that the purchase from

worthless, and that the association still owns the
right to carry on its schedule OF games in Cincin-
natl. They say their circuit will be Baltimore
Philadelphia, Boston aud Washington in the
East, and st Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati aud
Columbus in the West Ii is also asserted that
they have secured the services of Mike Kelly.
The league people, on the contrary, say the asso-
citation folks are badly mistaken.
