BIG WOLF
Entered City and Attacked Man, Who
 Thought 1t Was a Dog.

From the St. Paul Globe.
 A battle for almost an hour unarmed against a gaunt, gray timber wolf, was the terrible experience of G. Milono, a resident of the upper flats.
 Shortly after II o'clock at night Milono who was returning alone from the home of friend near the Ugh bridge, noticed an animal which he took to be a large dog trotting up the river road toward him and, thinking the animal belonged to some of lis neighbors called to it. The brute paid no ettention to Milono how ever, and the man picked up a stone and threw 1t, whereupon the animal 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 1t was large gray wolf. Snarling fierce ly the brute jumped at Milono, but the man jumped back and hurling the stone at the animal succeeded in frightening it away for a few moments.
 The wolf gave him no time to hunt for more stones however and growing bolder forced the Italian to slowly retreat in the direction he had come. Mere than once the brute snapped at him, but fortu- nately fell short
 Mono, who was unarmed save for a small pocketknife. seeing that his case was a desperate one, began to shout loud- ly for help but received no answer, and was grad ually being backed onto the ice, In vain the man scanned the ground for a piece of wood to defend himself. He could find nothing, and was about to give up hope as the wolf was becoming boldeI with each attcok and was evidently on the point of springing on his victim, when Mllono heard the faint sound of voices up the river
 Inspired with new courage the Italian shouted Justify, and kicking viciously al 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 a bend in the river road.
 The driver, hearing the mans cries. lashed his team into a gallop and was soon on the scene. The wolf retreated across the river, disappearing in the shad- ows on the other side MIlono was bad ly frightened ar the result of his exper- ence and his clothes were badly torn where the teeth of the vicious animal had caught him.
 It is thought the wolf followed the river from the mort hern part of the state, and several residents of the flats claim tc have caught glimpses of the animal dur. ing the past week

Fire Pro+ection.

Harry Jones, chairman of the fire and water committee of the board of alder men, and Chief Mul1in of the fire depart ment should be complimented on the dis patch with which they secured two en- zines to take the place of the two out of service," said a citizen yesterday.
 Had there been a serious fire before the two borrowed engines arrived. the city would have been short oi apparatus, but by their promptness there was de- ficieney of only three days in the equip ment.
 'I am also glad that the Age-Herald took the matter up editorially and hope that it will do all that it can to get this new apparatus mentioned il the agree ment witt the Southeastern Tariff asso- citation committee.
 We all understand that we need even more fire fighting equipment than the agreement calls TOT. but I believe that the additions which will be made at the next meeting of the city council will be material help. It seems to me that this protection greed on will cost an increase of about B 1-3 per cent, and that is a great deal at one time l Tt is prety well understood that the city council will appropriate the money for these additions to the department and 1 think that i. shouls do so without fail In fact I do not believe that there will be a single vote cast against the addition to the fire department from | what 1 hear"

GENERAL OkU ON THE FIELD.

From Scribners Magazine.
 I watched Oku keenly. Though I had seen him coming for twenty yards I re- called suddenly that I saw nothing but his face until he got quite near. It was sad with something of Lincoln's sadness In profile was kindly, especially when he smiled full face there were proofs that he could be iror and relentless.
 But his eyes! Big. black glittering, fa- natical, ever moving, they were and you caught them never but for moment, but when you did they made ycl think of lightning and thunderstorms. He was dressed simply in olive green serge with one star on his cap and tlree stars and three stripes on h. sleeve. His boots were good. His sword hung on his left hand-unclenched. His other hand looked nerveless.
 Not once did he shift lis weight from his right foot-only the sole of his left ever touching the asone Tagging. He Is the most remarkable looking man I've seen thus far among the Japanese.
