A Long Prairie paper tells thrt two
men who were on their way with 9
team from Browerville to Long Prair'
ie a few evenings ago were followed
by a pack of wolves. There were only
five or six of the animals when first
noticed but others gradually gathered
until thrre were about fifteen in the
pack. A large dog that was with the
men refused to astack the wolves, and
an effort by the men and dog to fright.
en- the wolves away had no effect or
the animals. The men reached home
without being attacked, but the fast
that so many Of the animals are to be
found shows that it may be unsafe for
q lone person to go unprotected
through the timbered sections.
