CHASED BY WILD DOGS.
Montana Girl Had a Marrow Escape
from an Awful Fac.


Chased for more than a mile by pack
of wild dogs, Miss Gertie Sullivan,
daughter of sheep man living on Birch
creek, near Havre, Mont, escaped only
by spending the night in an old corral
and picking off the animals now and then
with a rifle.
Miss Sullivan was riding her pony
across the prairie when she saw, some
distance away, perhaps twenty animals,
which at first glance she took to be coy
otes. AS they came nearer, evidently in
pursuit of her, the girl saw they were
not coyotes, but wild dogs, of which there
are several small packs in northern Mon
tana and just over the Canadian line.
1t became ride for life with Miss
Sullivan. She had with her small rifle,
but the animals seemed so savage she
dared not stop and give them battle. AS
she began to despair of escaping she
sighted the old sheep corral, and toward
this she ran her horse, reaching it only
when the pack was but short distance
away. To enter with the pony and
quickly close the gate was the work of a
moment.
Swapping and snarling, the dogs tore
at the poles forming the stockade, but
were unable to gain an entrance. The
girl began shooting at the animals, which
retreated when she fired and returned to
the attack when the rifle was silent. Miss
Sullivan was found the next morning by
her father and brother, who had been
seeking her.

Next day Sylphide was visibly better,
dough very weak; yet, with the aid OF
Himulants, she soon regained her
strength, and ere the fortnight elapsed
she was quite we'll and strong again.
During the days of her convalescence
she never once mentioned her lost child;
whether she had lost all memory of the
circumstance or not, Diana could not de-
cermine, and did net venture to ascer-
cain. Only once did the faithful creature
attempt to inform her mistress Of Lu-
aian Courtlandt's sudden journey to the
South; but even in this she did not sue
reed, for scarcely had she mentioned his
pame when Sylphide interrupted her with
che words:

One lovely evening, towards sunset,
gylphide, attired in white cashmere
wrapper, garnished with snowy swans

Britain Warns the Porte.

BY order of the Turkish government
the province of Macedonia is suffering
the agonies of massacres, individual muir
ders, torture, incendiarism and wholesale
arrests without cause-al in the name of
reform-says a note issued by the Bul-
garian government and sent to the pow
ers interested in the Balkan revolution.
Turkish soldiers have cast hundreds of
Bulgarian priests and educators and
thousands of other innocent persons into
prison, burned Bulgarian towns, attack
ed Bulgarian women without number and
spread desolation and oppression through
out four vilayets, oftentimes collecting
taxes for years in advance.
Show Horrors In Detail.
Specific cases are cited to show the
horrors endured by the people at the
hands Of the Turkish troops. All are
officially guaranteed to be truthful, the
facts having been gathered by Bulgarian
consMs or other agents and given to the
powers with a view to showing that Bull
garia is not to blame for the Macedonian
revolt against Turkish rule.
So confident is the Bulgarian govern
ment Of its accusations that it challenges
Turkey to disprove single charge. The
memorandum has made strong impress
sion in diplomatic circles. The Austrian
diplomatic agent has already called on
the premier to express his anxiety re-
gardinc the results that may ensue from
it's publication. The French and Italian
agents also expressed uneasincss, al
though they took less gloomy Wow.
An imperial trade has been issued by
the Sultan Of Turkey calling out ffty-two
additional battalions Of troops (about 52,-
900 mem from the European provinces of
Turkey in consequence Of the spread of
instruction in Macedonia. There troops
comprise twenty battalions Of reserves of
the first class from the Adrianople and
Salonika army corps. The balance are
reserves of the second class.
The British ambassador has called the
attention of the Porte to the serious sit
uation in Macedonia. He pointed out
that grave consequences may attend
fresh murders of consuls or foreign sub
jects.
