Fought Till Death.

Jim Ridgeway, of Deerfeld town
ship, was in Nevada Wednesday. He
tells of an excitingencOunter between
his shepherd dog and a large wolfe
Monday night The wolf had been
prowling around several nights be-
fore he met the dog. When they in
troduced themselves it seemed
fight was prearranged, but each was
afraid to take the aggressive part.
Mr.. Ridgeway heard the noise and
shot at the wolf with his shot gun.
The animal dropped and dog rushed
upon it. The wolf was only stunned
however, and was up in an instant.
A battle royal was then begun and
it was many minutes before victory
smiled on either combatant. The
fight was almost equal, The dog
would hardly get hold of the wolf
before a sharp, vicious snap from the
VOLTS jaws made him let go and
howl with pain. After a few minutes
however, the VOLTS defense grew
weaker. The gun shot wound was
telling, and before long all of his
strength was gone. The dog was
victorious, hut the wolf died fighting
and left many sears which his canine
adversary will wear until his death.

Is Convicted.

Is Convicted.
st. Louis, Mo. March 27.-Emil
A. Mevsenburg, member of the house
OF delegates, was convicted OF bribery
in connection with suburban street
railway franchise legislation in Judge
Douglas court this evening after a
trial lasting four days, and his pun
ishment fixed at three years in the
penitentiary. The jurors consumed
only three-qarters of an hour in
reaching decision, and they were,
it is said, unanimous as to the ques-
ton of guilt.
The charge against Meysenburg
was that he received $4,000 from
Brewer Philip Stock to vote for a
franchise for the Suburban Railway
Company. Stock swore Wednesday
that the $4,000 was ostensibly paid
for the purchase of shares in u com.
pany, but that the shares were worth
less and that the money was in real
ity a bride.
