We reached Dyea, as I said, just 40
days after leaving Dawson, neither of
us any the worse for the trip beyond
having frosted the tips of our fingers.
We went to Skaguay. and took the
steamer for home"
Mr.. Holland said he met prospect
ing party of 16 at the Pelly. who were
camped for the winter, and in the camp
was also Elmer Logan, a San Francisco
newspaper man and his wife, who had
gotten that far and given up going any
farther. Provisions were very scarce in
the camp, and it was evident the party
would be pretty close run before
spring. Some of the parties who tried
to come out in the way Mr. Holland
and his friends did met with some great
hardships, and one party got so hard
up for food that they killed a wolverine
and ate and nearly died from the eff
fects."
In speaking of the condition of the
people at Dawson, Mr.. Holland said:
II don't think there will be any starva-
ton, although the people may have to
be careful of their supplies. / don't
think the government will get a rein
deer or any other kind of relief expedi-
ton in owing to the ice gorges in the
Yukon, which We're already piled up so
high before we left the river that we
had difficulty in crawling over them"
Mr.. Holland expects to return early
in the spring.

FARMERS ATTACKED By WOLVES
Northern Minnesota settlers in Danger
From the Hungry Brutes.

From the Hungry Brutes.
Correspondence of the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Never before in the history of North
ern Minnesota We're wolves more plen-
tiful than this winter and in several
cases settlers in the outlying districts
have been attacked by the animals,
which have been driven to desperation
by hunger Henry Fellen, u home
steader, living seven miles from Deer
wood, a small station on the Northern
Pacific railroad, had a battle with the
bruteS a few evenings ago, and sue
ceeded in killing several of them and
in escaping without having received a
scratch.
During the early evening Fellen
heard his two COWS believing in alarm,
and, rushing out. found the animals
surrounded by small pack of wolves,
the hungry animals jumping at the
threats of the cattle and worrying them
in every way possible. Retreating to the
house, Fellen procured his rifle and re-
turned to the battle.
He fired several shots before the
wolves located him. Then the animals
made a dash in his direction, and had
not Fellen climbed a small pine tree

ragged, several of them having been
wounded by the rifle balls fired at them
From his position in the tree Fellen
was enabled to shoot several of the ami
mails, which We're torn TO bits by their
companions. Had Fellen been able to
have saved the scalps he would have
realized a handsome bounty for them.
but the skins were so badly mangled
when the living wolves got through
with them they could not be recognized
After Fellen had fired all the cart
ridges in his rifle he was kept a prison.

hour or more, until a neighbor, who
had heard the shooting and the howls
of the wolves, came to the rescue. Fell

fering intensely from cramps when
taken from his perch, but recovered
after an hour spent by a fire in the
house.
Later in the evening. when the crew

station. the men We're attacked by

and when within 80 feet made a sudden
dash at them. The men had just time
To draw their reyolvers and then make
for the train. Shrll blasts from the
whistle and the opening of the escape
pipes for steam finally scared the
wolves away.
Already a considerable amount of
stock owned by the settlers has been
killed by the animals. and people are
afraid to go out of their homes after
dark. The heavy snow and the intense
cold are driving the wolves into the set

Certainly the greatest musical feast
ever given the people of Butte was the

company of singers. Scalchi is divine.
In spite of the dreadful sulphur smoke
and other disadvantages, it is doubtful
If the great singer was ever in better

question the greatest ever heard in this

gramme was a select one and conclud-

Schedule Time.

There is a new year in town. 1t ar
rived at midnight amid "a furore of
noise and hilarity. OF course it can
not be said for certainty how long it
will last, but Sam Martin, who says he
is the most liberal odds iver on earth,
is offering 10 10 | that it will last 365
days.
The old year died and Coroner Trem-
blay will presumably hold an inquest
on 1t to-day. While there was much
noise when the old year went out and
the new year came in. there was very
little shooting and the police had
slight trouble in enforcing the law. The
new year promises to be peaceable.

WHITE HOUSE CRANKS.
An Eastern ShOreman Who Wanted to
See "Uncle Billy"


Although the reception to the public was
abandoned last week Detectives Weldon
and McNamee remained on duty there
throughout the day. They found it neces-
sary to intercept some of the would be
visitors, as their appearance indicated
disordered mental condition, which their
irmed.
The star performer of the day arrived in
the person of rustic-looking party wi tn
flowing straw-colored whiskers and very
determined expression. Weldon stopped
him and asked him his business.
81 must see the President at once on a
matter of Importance, said the stranger,
trying to pass in; 81 fought with Uncle
Billy in his own regiment in the war, and

visitor tried to pass in, but was quickly
convinced that he had no chance to see the
President at that time. Shaking with in
dignation he stepped close to the de-
tective and shook his long fingers under
the officers nose.
"Now, you, sir" he said, 81 am going

BIG ORDER FOR CATTLE.

from DR.. DeCOurcy.
DR.. William Henry DeCourcy, of Ches-
ton-on-Wye, Queen Anne's county, who
has given large share of his attention for
several years to the importing and rearing
OF Herford cattle and Shropshire Down
sheep, recently received from the State of
Wyoming request for six carloads of
young cows and hefers of his stock.
The doctor states that such large order
is beyond his present ability to fill While
his stock has become famous for its excel
lence and purity of breed, the doctor has
never raised sufficient numbers to meet so
extensive an order. He has devoted his
attention more towards the quality than
the quantity of his animals. Six carloads
OF cattle would require rather large herd
to meet the demand. For that reason the
doctor was forced to define the contract.
