BULL Moose At BAY.
Fights . Pack OF Wolves in sight Q
Two Woodsmen.

Flgnee feck OF Woves N SiBus -
Two Woodsmen.
Last Friday William Burnett and
J. J. Gaynor, two Duluth explorers
wandered at some distance from their
claims, thirty-fve miles back Of Cnica-
60 bay, in Cook county, to look at GER
tain lands. While trudging along
they came face to face with q great
bun moose. Neither of the men had q
gun. The men realized that the moose
meant mischief, and they Skinned up
a balsam. The moose came up and
paved the showshoes and seemed dis
posed to await developments.
Nearly three hours had passed
when a pack of twenty wolves eau
tiously approached me tree. The bun
moose was game, and sign.fied by his
actions that he would fight. The
wolves were at first little discon-
certed at the turn in affairs, but ap-
parently reasoned that If they could
not get a couple of men for supper
they would be polite enough not to
grumble, and take what was set before
them, which was moOse-a living
mountain of moose. The wolves ap-
preached the moose from all sides, and
then began battle, the like OF which
few men have ever witnessed. He
struck at the wolves with his forefeet
and antlers and kicked at them with
his hind feet. The wolves evidently all
had in view the idea Of hamstring-
ing the moose. A certain number
would engage the moose at the head,
but most of them were swapping at
the hind legs of the great game ami
NAL. Mr.. Burnett says that the agil-
ity of the moose was remarkable, and
he was as strong, apparently, as To-
connective. He caught and flung the
wolves about like chips, and howls OF
anger and pain rung through the
woods. At last, while making mad
lunge to toss some Of the wolves, the
moose shed his antlers. After one
startled look, when he realized that he
had lost his head weapon, the moose
turned and fled at top speed.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

MT. Bamberger Troubled.

Yesterday when the fact that MT.

Many telegrams and let ters were sent to Governor Jeks and Col. Harvey E. Jones. asking them not to accept his resignation Judge Pitts says that the license taxes of Dallas County have been more nearly collected this year than ever before in the history of the county. which can be attributed to the faithful manner in which Mir. Ramberger has performed his duties There are today only eleven men who have not complied with the law.
 MT. Ramberger this morning said:
