$6,250,OO0, divided as follows: $780,
600 for threshers and extras; 81 800, 900
for binders and mowers and extras, and
$S25,o00 for wagons, buggies, plows,
etc. One thresher firm here did a bust
Iess of 100000.

HOMESTEADS MENACED
BY STARVING WOLVES
Absence Of Snow Makes Wisconsin
Woods Dangerous.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Superior, Wis, Dec. 23-The absence
Of deep snow in the northwoods is MAX
ing hard times for the wolves and as a
result they are becoming holder as the
season advances. Without deep snow,
the wolves are unable to follow and
drag down deer and moose, their winter
prey, and reports from the back coun-
try indicate that the wolves are begin
ming to seek fcod close to human habi-
tations, thereby becoming dangerous,
but also easy victims to the pelt hun
ters.
Cases Of wolf attacks upon human
beings are, frequently reported, but as
yet no one has been killed by the ami
mails. In Minnesota and Wisconsin,
the wolf bounty Of 500 for a grown ami
mails ears, 81 for a cub, makes the oc-
cupation of wolf hunting by poison
dogs and guns profitable one, and sew
eral hunters have found the business
worth their while.
An average Of one wolf killed each
day in Douglass county, Wisconsin, has
beer the record so far this month. The
fetal amount paid out in bounties was
$500. Otto Gaslin Of Gordon, Wis,
brought in sixty sets Of ears this winter.

7 MEN SURROUNDED
BY PACK OF wolves
Michigan Settlers Spent an Elk.

Special to The Journal.

Manistique, Mich, Dec. 23.-sur-
rounded by a pack of twenty or more
ravenous wolves for whole night was
the recent experience Of Alexander and
E. Butts of Hiawatha township. They
had occasion to 60 into the woods and
the second afternoon were followed by
the wolves. At nightfall the men Sc
lected close thicket of underbrush on
the side of hill for camping place,
and built fire in front of it.
Soon they heard the snarls of the
wolves, and only by keeping their fire
constantly replenished were they able
to keep the animals at bay. Some
times the brutes would come from ten
to fifteen feet Of them. The men~had
a gun with them, but little ammunition
and to save their cartridges until dire
need arose, they decided not to frit.
ter them away in pot luck shooting into
the inky blackness Of the night.
The settlers escaped harm, but with
standing guard and keeping up the fire
they lost night 3 sleep. The wolves
continued their march about the camp
from o'clock in the evening until
o clock the next morning. This oc
Cured only a few miles from the home
stead of Alexander Butts.
