CHASED BY WOLVES.
Old Citizens Thrilling Experience Be
tween Topeka and Tecumseh.

Among the manuscripts found
among the papers of the late Captain
James r. Mcclure, who lost his life
in the burning of the Bonner Springs
Kan. sanitarium last summer, was
one, not yet completed, entitled TAX
ing the Census and Other Incidents of
1855 Secretary Martin, of the Kan
sas State Historical society, secured
the manuscript and it will be one of
the features of the eighth volume of
the Historical society series to be is
sued about July 1.
Some of the interes ting "reminiscences
of Captain Mcclure found in the ar
ticle are as follows: we camped at
the town of Tecumseh. settled by pro-
slavery men, and which, it was then
thought, would become one of the
prominent cities of Kansas 1t was
about eight miles east of Topeka, and
l concluded to walk from TecumSeh
there in advance of the teams. I start
ed at four a. M, and after walking
some two or three miles I heard the
barking of wolves some distance away.
At first the noise appeared to come
from two or three, but as l advanced
the number increased, and they were
evidently approaching nearer. I had
heard and read of men being pursued
and devoured by these wild animals

feared there was no way of escape. l

ed it, and started on a run, which i
kept up until I came to what is the
present city of Topeka. During all this
time the wolves followed close behind
me, their number constantly increas-
| ing and their bowls growing louder and
| louder. 1t was a great relief when
daylight appeared. and I reached a
place of safety. These wolves, l learn
ed afterwards, are great towards, and
seldom attack a man unless driven to
do so by severe hunger, and then only
when a large pack is collected for that
/ purpose. did not know their coward
| " nature at the time, and fully ex-
pected to be torn to pieces, 1 will
never forget the terrible ordeal 1
passed through that morning, and the
relief I felt when I found myself safe
from their attacks.
Topeka had been selected as a
| town site, and if 1 remember, there
was only two or three rough shanties
built near the river. We crossed the
Kansas river on q ferry at the Baptist
mission, a few miles west of Topeka,
and passed through the Pottawatomie
reservation on the north side of the
river There were no white men on
the reservation except those connected
with the Indian mission at st. Marys,
which at that time contained quite a
collection of houses occupied by In
dians and white men employed by the
government as storekeepers, mechanics,

sufficiently successful financially to
clear something over $51 for the club
treasury. which will be devoted to the

of a small piece of ground in the west

It is triangular in shape and lies be-
tween Willow and Sixth streets and
Woodlawn avenue. There is only one
house on it and this is occupied by a
colored family. At present it is I'M
slightly and unattractive enough but it
would make charming park and would
greatly enhance the value of the prop

now little better than an eyesore.
