GREAT BIG WOLF
Entered City and Attacked Man, Who
Thought It Was a Dog.

A battle for almost an hour unarmed
against gaunt gray timber wolf was
the terrible experience of c. Molono, a
resident of the upper fats, last night.
Shortly after II o'clock Milono, who
was returning alone from the home of
a. friend near the high bridge, noticed
an animal which he took to be large
dog trotting up the river road toward
him, and, thinking the animal belonged
to some of his neighbors. called to it.
The brute paid no attention to Milono,
however, and the man picked up a
stone and threw it, whereupon the ami
NAL turned from the road and charged
directly at him.
The Italian reached for another stone
to scare the dog away, but as the beast
drew closer he saw to his horror that
it was a large gray wolf. Snarhng
fercely the brute leaped at Milono, but
the man jumped back and hurting the
stone at the animal succeeded in fright
ening it away for a few moments.
The wolf gave him no time to hunt
for more stones, however, and growing
treat in the direction he had come.
More than once the brute snapped at
him, but fortunately fell short
Milono, who was unarmed save for a
small pocket knife, seeing that his case
was a desperate one. began ito shout
loudly for help, but received no answer,
and was gradually being backed onto
the ice. In vain the man scanned the
GROUND
himself He could find nothing, and
was about to give UP hope, as the wolf
was becoming holder with each attack
and was evidently upon the point of
springing for his victim, when Milono
heard the faint sound of voices up the
river.
Inspired with new courage the italian
shouted Justify, and kicking V1c1ously
at the wolf managed to keep the brute
away. After what seemed hours to the
desperate man two horses and a double
seated sleigh appeared around bend
in the river road.
The driver, hearing the mans cries,
dashed his team into gallop and was
soon on the scene. The wolf retreated
across the river, disappearing in the
shadows on the other side. Milono was
badly frightened as the result of his
experience, and his clothes were badly
torn where the teeth of the vicious an
imaI had caught them
1t is thought the wolf followed the
river from the northern part of the
state, and several residents Of the fats
claim to have caught glimpses of the
animal during the past week--St. Paul
Globe.

AN OLD TIME COIN.
Winfield Man Has a $40 Gold Piece
Sent Him Forty Years Ago.

Winfield, Kan. Feb. 1S.-T. I. Crab
tree, the produce man on West Ninth
avenue, had a queer looking gold coin
in George Hudson's jewelry store
Wednesday morning that attracted
quite a crowd. 1t is the size of an
eagle or $40 gold piece and on the
diverse side bears the Goddess of Lib
erty and the usual wreath with the in
scription, United States of America
and a bunch of arrows. This side of
the coin has been milled uneven. The
date is 1900. On the reverse side are
thirteen stars and the line ''In God We
Trust The coin is not denominated.
1t weighs 5 u pennyweights and is
gold according to the test. Mr.. Crab
tree had it before Mr.. Ballet of the
Cowley County National bank and he
could throw no light on its identity.
Mr.. Ballet says the United States
would not make a coin without its de-
nomination. He will ascertain It's
value if possible. Crabtree says the
coin was sent him forty years ago by
Thomas Neal, an uncle, who had lived
in Mexico many years. He recently
came across it. A man he sent with 1T
to Mr.. Ballet yesterday said the coin
had been taken in change. The coin
is much lighter in hue than the gold
coins of today.

Sisters of Providence. Mother House,
Montreal, Can. write:
Eve are happy to say that a num-
Der of our sisters of our community
have taken Peruna and have derived
great benefit from its use"
The winters of Canada are long and
severe. Catarrh of the head and
throat prevails for at least seven
months of the year.
AS soon as Peruna was introduced
into Canada, its use spread like wild
fire, for it exactly met the climatic dis
eases which abounded.
Catarrh, when it once fastens itself
upon the system, is not to be dis
lodged by the use of local remedies.
A systemic remedy is needed to
eradicate the disease. Peruna exact
ly meets this necessity.
In the whole history of medicine, no
remedy was ever devised that has
been SO universally recognized as a
specific for catarrh.
It not only breaks up promptly
coughs and colds. but it can be relied
upon to permanently cure catarrh in
its worst stages and forms.
A reward of $4,000 has been

STONE FOR U. P. BRIDGES.
FIorena Furnishing Stone for Double

Track From Topeka to Kansas City.
MarysvilIe, Kan, Feb. 1S-Florena
is the home of the Florena stone
quarries. Florena is a very small
place-in fact the quarries are about
the only industry that thriveS there,
but the business done by the quarries
is big enough to offset what is lack
ing in other lines.
F1orena stone is known all over this
territory. 1t enters into the construc-
ton of many of the most imposing
structures in this part of the country.
Railroad companies are also big bid
ders for the output of the Florena
quarTies and just now stone is being
furnished for the bridges along the
doUbl track of the U. P. between
Kansas City and Topeka. Mr.. John
son, proprietor of the quarrieS, is
working every man he can secure to
take out the stone for this work.
The bridges along the new route
will at first be constructed on piling,
as is always the case with new roads,
and Will be replaced later with sub
stantial bridges with stone abutments.
and Mr. Johnson has been requested
to furnish part of the stone for this
work. To meet the demands made
for his product he has secured a five
year lease on the Stockbridge quarries
and viii begin operating them as soon
as spring opens up. He has already
obtained permission to build side
tracks to the new stone deposits and
work in the new fields. He also ex-
poets to use about twenty-five more
men in the Florena quarries at the
same time.

David H Moffat, whose fertile brain
planted the enterprise and whose mil
lions brought it into being, has sold
his project to the Union Pacific system
after nearly four years of constant bat
tie with Tom" LaWsOn's system.
Moftat is now on his way back to
Denver to turn over the property to
Hartman, although it is said no per-
ceptible change in the conduct of af-
fairs will be noted for some time to
come. Momat, Syl T. Smith, w. F.

their identity with the road until Ger

are disposed of, and one by one the
present board of directors will fade
away until all Hartman people are in
control Even Moffat will have voice
in the management of the property as
a stakeholder as in payment for the
road he has agreed to accept stock and
bonds which Hartman is to issue.
Just what Hartman is to pay for
the property is withheld from the pub

Hartman secured the option which ex-

due. and word was sent out from New
York that the deal was Off Later Har-
riman took up negotiations again and
closed the transaction at a big saving
to himself.
He had heard Moffat needed the
money and he took advantage of the
situation.
Furthermore, it is stated that Harri-
man would not buy until he had con-
suited fully on the proposition with
Gould and Rockefeller. An Impression
had gone abroad that Gould wanted the
road, and Hartman hesitated before
antagonizing no powerful a rival. Some
people even go so far as to declare that

Story of Union Pacifc's Purchase of
Northwestern Denied.


ct don't believe that story about the
Union Pacific buying the Northwest
ern, said a local individual at the
Railroad club yesterday, says the
Kansas City Journal. In fact, 1 don't
believe the Vanderbilts control the
Northwestern SO much as is believed
If they do, why don't they turn bust
ness over to it like they do the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central? The
Northwestern is in fine condition. BY
building a few miles of track it will
get into Denver on its own rails and
could, by the same process, have a
short line to Salt Lake City.
But you can't tell much about the
Union Pacific nowadays. The system
even denied ownership of the Leaven-
worth, Kansas & Western, which runs
west of LeavenwOrth. There was
story out some months ago that the
Union Pacific had taken over this line
and the guide gives it as a part of the
Union Pacific, but did you ever run
across a Union Pacific official who
would affirm the ownership story?''
