ROBBED A WOLF OF HIS PREY.
Lumber Clerk Sees the End of tho
Brute's Chase for a Deer.

While travelling along the Ouita.
cougar Lake, in the Northern pine
country, writes the Lachine (Canada)
correspondent of the New York Sun,
Oscar White, a clerk employed by a
lumber firm, saw the method and the
end Of a murderous deer hunt.
At right angles to the provision
road on which he was travelling raj
the well-beaten way along which tn
saw logs were drawn to the river
side. Down this icy track came a
beautiful deer, followed by a single
gaunt gray timber wolf.
The deer would bound along for a
few score yards at an amazing rate
Of speed, and then stop to listen and
look about, whereas the tireless pur-
suer kept up the same steady pac.
in the most confident and business
like manner.
When about quarter of a mile
from the side of the lake the deer
slackened his pace to trot before
coming to dead stop. The crafty
wolf had made a tremendous squirt.
The deer seemed neither to see nor
hear it's pursuer, owing perhaps to
winding of the road and to the fact
that the wind was dead against it.
In an instant the wolf seemed Il
spring some dozen feet or so through
the air and fasten upon the deer's
flank. A moments gallant struggle
and the deer was dragged down and
it's butcher was devouring it's hind
quarters without waiting to destroy
it's life.
White had reached the intersection
of the roads just before this, and
rushed his horses to the scene. He
was without firearms, but the wolf
sneaked off on one side through the
snow from the still breathing body
as the team approached. With a
blow of his axe White put the suffer
ing creature out of it's pain. Then he
managed to drag the carcass on to
his sleigh.
The wolf, which was squatting dog
fashion within ten yards of him, lift
ed up its ugly muzzle and set up
tremendous howl, as White did this,
but made no attempt to come to close
quarters with him. White, enranged
at the impudence of the brute, swung
his axe around his head and let it
fly at the wolf. His aim was true,
but the wolf was wary and lodged in
time, although the axe handle struck
it's hind leg with sufficient force to
send it away yelping.
After recovering his weapon the
man went on his way. The wolf paus-
ed long enough to devour the blood
covered snow where the deer had
fallen and then made after the sleigh,
which he followed, jogging along like
a coach dog, until the depot buildings
were reached. Then he sat down and
for ten minutes gave vent to his in
jured feelings in a series of bowls.

California Oranges in italy.

Two hundred and fifty cases of
small orange trees, of the variety
known as Washington navel, have ar
rived at Naples from Saint Dinas

dered by the Italian government for
the purpose of being sent to the agri-

opportunity given of studying the

SENSATIONS IN LIMBS.
How Affections of Nerves Have Sur.
prised and Anuoycd.

|
Men who have arms or legs ampu-
tated are discussing the sensations ex-
perlenced by men who have lost an
arm or a leg, says the Chicago inter
Ocean. There is special appropriate
ness in this because the matter is
largely one Of experience or hallucina-
ton.
In the first year after the close of
the civil war the government distribut-
ed to discharged soldiers 1000 artifc-
ia limbs. This represented probably
less than one-half Of the men who lost
either an arm or leg. AS most Of
these amputations were hastily per-
formed, it is not strange that nerves
were not as well taken care Of as in
these modern days.
But whatever the cause, men who
suffered amputation had some strange
and trying experiences. For example,
an officer who never had had a. hal
lucination in his life was at times tor
mented with an itching on the bottom
OF the foot that had been cut off, The
sensation was just as if the foot had
been there and the victim had to bear
the itching beyond his reach.
A. lawyer who had lost leg, who
came some years ago to practice in
the Chicago courts, at times would
jump about on his one leg, excited
and yexed because he felt something
between the toes of his right foot,
which had been taken off in the Sec
ond year OF the war. A general officer
who twenty years ago was active in
political campaigns would occasional
ly. i'll the midst of a speech, kick out
ylciously with his cork leg. At such
times he had the feeling that the foot
on that leg was asleep" and he
kicked to start the circulation.
In another case a man who had lost
an arm had the sensation of itching
between the fingers Of the missing
hand. He explained to surgeon. and
a new operation relieved him. A man
who occasionally experienced a sharp
pain in the big toe Of missing foot
was relieved by a skillful but simple
operation.
Not few surgeons in the civil war
laughed at what they called the whim-
sizes and Authorization of men who COM
planned of queer sensations in ampu-
tated limbs. These surgeons insisted
that ever since limbs had been am
putated those who had lost arms and
legs had told strange stories of their
sensations. These affected the imagi-
nation, they contented, of men who
lost limbs in the war, and the more
the mind dWelt on the sensation the
more definite it became
There were also many wounded who
were superstitiOus and given to fam
tastic notions to which they cling
tenaciously. Therefore the soldier who
complained of itching toes on a foot
that had been shot off received little
sympathy. In later years, however,
such cases have received more atten-
ton. Instead Of laughing at the suf-
ferer, the modern surgeon studies to
relieve, and in most cases is success

Priest Will Heal No More.

Rev. Father Dagnault, a Catholic
priest at Peshtigo, has published an an
nouncement i'll which he says he will re-
ceive no more patients. For several
months past he has been treating many
afflicted people who came to him from all
parts Of the State and upper peninsula.
He has made many cures, so his friends
claimed, but on account Of the notoriety
he received from the newspapers he has
decided to cease the healing work. He
claims that he heals by the power of

FAIRBANKS KEEPS OUT.
Refuses to Become Mixed Up With
Mormon Question.

Ogden, Utah, Oct 7.-Senator Fair
banks arrived in ogden and spoke
in the Grand opera house here to an
audience which taxed the capacity of
discuss the present situation as it per-
taiDs to this state but did not fail
to do so for lack of information.
When the Fairbanks train made its
first stop of the day at Elko, Nevada,
almost 800 miles west of this city. the
vice presidential candidate was met by
Senator Smoot and II other leading
members of the Regular Republican
travellers to Ogden. The Utah dele
cation included in addition to Senator
Smoot, Congressman Howell, ex-Gov-
ernor Thomas, two members of the
state supreme court and other rep
resentat alive citizens, one-half being
Mormons and the other half gentiles.
Several of them conferred during the
day with Senator Fairbanks and when
he arrived here he found awaiting
him Senator Kearns who heads the
American party. He was soon closet
ed with the Indiana senator. No state
ment was made concerning the various
interviews but Senator Fairbanks ear
ly decided to make no reference to
the state complication in his public
utterances. No speeches were made
between Esll1o and Ogden, and the
most interesting event of the day aside
from the private discussion of the
Utah situation was the trip across
the Great Salt Lake route via the Lu-
Glen cutoff on the Southern Pacific.
Senator Fairbanks and his travelling
companions found much in that en-
gineering feat to admire.
When this point was reached the
party left the Southern Pacific, over
which they had Travelled for seventeen
hundred miles, intending to proceed
eastward over the Union Pacific.
Senator Fairbanks was rejoined here
by Senator Dolliver, who had re-
manned behind in Portland because
of a slight throat affection and in
order to prepare for campaign in
Colorado for which he had been en-
gagged. The Iowa senator spoke at the
meeting. He viii remain with Sen
ator Fairbanks until Cheyenne is
reached, and will then probably pro-
coed to Colorado. Congressman w. 1.
Smith of Iowa Joined Senator Fair
banks here with the expectation of
continuing with him until after the
senator concludes his Iowa campaign
next week. Senator Fulton returned
to Oregon.
Senator Fairbanks devoted a portion
of his address to the extension of our
foreign trade, saying on that point:
We are fortunate in the prevalence of
ance of peace and good order in all sec
lions of the republic. Our countrymen
are buSily engaged in increasing our
commercial strength and in building
homes throughout the republic The
erection of homes is one of the evidences
of Republican prosperity. There have
been more homes erected during the
last seven and a half years of Republi-
can administration than at any other
like period in the history of the repub-
lie.
