mules raised anywhere else on earth, OF
the same age. The prices paid seem TO
us to be quite remunerative TO the rails

Jesse Litsey, while hunting on Black
fish bayou, near Hetb, few days ago,
had thrilling experience with pack |
of wolves. While partially concealed |
on the bank of the stream looking for !
ducks, three OF the ravenous beasts |
rushed upon him. So sudden was the |!
attack that he barely had time to get |
his gun in readiness and send a charge |
through the nearest beast. The explo- |
sion frightened the other two, which |
promptly made their escape in the |
thick underground. Only his GOODNESS |
and quick action saved the hunter from
a horrible death. There should be
some decided and effective manner of |
disposing of these animals. as they de- |
stroy much valuable stock in the course |
OF year.
