AN EXCEPTIONAL WOMAN.
Mary AndreasOn Trapped SiXty-iivC
Wolves III One Winter.

from the Mar siicld CPa) Advertiser.
Living with her son on a small farm
in the heart of Potter county, Pa, is a
woman whose life story is strange and
interesting. This woman is Mrs. Mary
AndreaSOn, widow of the former Sec
relary Of the famous Ole Bull--the his
tory Of whose colony at OleOna is an
interesting chapter in the history CT
Pennsylvania. Mrs Andreas son was A
widow when WoOed and won hV An
dreasOn. Her name then was French,
she having been the wife of one of the
early settlers and traDpeTs of Pott,r
county. Today her bones are raCkcd
with rheumatism as a result Of her
pioneer experience, when she hunted
and trapned at her husbands side. II
Is said that during one winter Mrs.
French. unaided. trapped 50 gray
wolves, knocking them in the head
with hatchet, which she always ear
Iied, flung from a belt around her
waist, Besides hunting ana trapping,
Mrs. French DISTINGUISHED he self by
going with her husband and "A crew Of
men to drive logs on Kettle creek. With
pike-pOle or cant-hooS this powerful
woman waded the stream with the
men, Whrln@ a derelict log into ,he
stream or breaking a Jam at the
creeks bend, 1t required supreme
nerve for a woman to undertake to
drive logs for it is a nightly danger
Gus business; yet Mrs. French did this
more than one spring, earning from So
to IS per day Even now, at the age OF
81, she refers with considerable pride
to the time when she was young and
strong enough to pitch logs i'm famous
Kettle creek.
Mrs, AndreasOn Is said 10 have been
a handsome woman. Even now, though
her face rs wrinkled and her hair
turned gray, one sees traces of former
beauty. She was yet quite a young
woman when Ole Bulls colony of Nor
wegians came into Potter county and
took up the 12,OOO-acre tract. She then
had been a widow for two years. She
was employed as a cook at the Nor
wegian headquarters. and it was there
that she met and married Henry An
dreason, who came into that country
to manage the affairs of the Ole Bull
colony. But Mrs, Andreason was not
i'm love with the colonsts. She says
they danced and carried on too high
for her Many time, she declares,
the Norwegians would dance all night
to the tune OF a squeaky fiddle, instead
OF resting for their next days work al
clearing new ground for their little
farms.
But Mrs. Andreasons most exciting
time of life was the first years of her
residence in Potter county. Then deer
were as plentiful as lambs in a mead,
| Ow; elk inhabited the region in mon
! ster droves; panther prowled i'm every
/ ravine, and wolves in ravenous droves
made the night hideous with chorus
of monotonous howls. Mrs. French (as
| was the case them was an expert rifle
shot, and has slain scores of black bear
| cantamounts and deer. But wolves
! were her speciality, for the bounty on

these animals was large enough to
make their hunting profitable.
Mrs. French was once delayed on a
homeward Journey, and darkness over
took her. She was travelling a foot
path leading from Kettle creek to her
home when she heard wolves approach
ing her. She concluded that they were
on her trail, and, strapping her rifle
to her back, she climbed a hemlocli
tree. knowing that if she could but get
a dozen feet above ground, she would
he safe from the wolves sharp teeth
and claws. In less than ten minutes
the pack of wolves had overtaken her
and surrounded the tree upon which
she had taken refuge. She could see
the green eyes of the animals simmer
in the darkness. and directing her rifle
at the dark objects at the foot of the
tree she fired as fast as she could re-
load Every shot was answered by a
growl of pain as a wolf keeled over.
She was within mile of her home,
and the repeated firing of the rifle
soon brought her husband upon the
scene. He came bearing rife in one
hand and flaming torch of plny fag-
OTIS in the other. The fire frightened
the wolves. and long before French had
reached the tree where his wife was
captive, the bowling pack went scamp
ering over the brow of the hill into
the valley beyond.
When Mrs. French had taken inven-
tory of her rifles work she found that
five wolves lay dead at the foot of the
tree. The hides and bounty from these
were worth a good round sum. SO she
never regretted being treed by the
pack.
Now her time is spent in a big arm
chair built from beechwUod saplings,
in which she rocks and signs and
nurses her rheumatic joints.
