LITERALLY TORN TO PIECES
FARMERS FIGHT WITH A DOZEN
SAVAGE BEASTS.
Covered With Gaping Wounds and
Doctors Say He Cannon
Recover.

st. Paul, Jan. ia special to the
Pioneer Press from La Crosse, Wis,
says:
After a desperate struggle with a
pack of wolves, Olaf Halsrud, a we'll
known farmer residing about 10 miles
north of here, lies in a critical condi-
ton with the flesh literally torn from
his body in many places. Physicians
say he cannot live.
Last night Hansrud was awakened
by a disturbance among the animals
in his barn yard. He quickly dressed
and upon investigating found several
of his domestic animals had been
slaughtered. While he was continu-
ing his investigation he heard a growl
and looking around saw that he had
been surrounded by a pack Of wolves.
He attempted to gain his house be-
fore escape was entirely cut off, but
before he had gotten 20 feet the
wolves were swapping and snarling at
his heels. He turned and was con
fronted by at least a dozen Of the saw
age animals. One made a spring for
his throat. The farmer attempted to
defend himself with a club which he
had snatched up, but several times
he was forced to the ground with the
wolves upon him. Each time, how
ever, he managed to fight them Off
until he regained his feet. Fighting
his way inch by inch, he finally suc-
ceeded in reaching the door of his
dwelling and, half fainting, he stag
gered in and drew the bolt. He was
literally covered from head to foot
with gaping wounds and his garments
were soaked in gore.
Wolves have been so numerous and
their work so destructive in this vi
cinity, of late, that an organized ef-
fort is being made to hunt them down.

feet long stretched from the pier to
No. 3, and the breaches buoy appa-
ratus was ready for use. Over this
line the passengers, four of whom
we're women, and the crew of 80 were
safely taken in within two hours.
It was a thrilling rescue. AS the .peO.
pie were drawn along the rope the
| great waves broke over them and all
| were drenched by the icey water when

An Open Letter.

JoNEsBoRo. ARK January 8 1902. lloN. Y. C. TAYLOR, Jonesboro, Ark
 Dear Sir: Some time ago 1 submitted to you the proposition that if you were the choice of Craighead county in the congressional contest, 1 would with. draw from the race, provided you would do so if 1 were the choice of the conHty. This proposition did not meet your approval.
 Now, the above proposition still stands open, and in addition 1 submit to you two others, to-wt:
 That if the city of Jonesboro may hold democratic primary before the 29th day of March that we submit our names at the city primary, and if you are the choice of the city, will with draw from the race, otherwise you 10 do so,
 But should the last proposition not meet with your favor, I submit that as we both live in the Third ward of the city or Jont2boro, that If you are the choice of the Third ward, will With. draw from the race, otherwise you to do so.
 You say that it is unfortunate for us both 10 be candidates, as We both live in the same county, and I agree with you, but know of no fairer way to set. tie it.
 Further, it certainly will be as con- venent to have joint discussions as to have individual appointments, and while do not wish to restrict you or myself or other candidates for con- gress to the former, but when you can do 80, will you meet your opponents in joint discussion
 Yours respectfully,
