Big Wild Beast Is More Than Match
for Canine AssaiIants.
With no weapon other than a COM
mon wooden pail, two young daugh-
tiers of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Olson, who re.
side on farm in Bon Homme county,
succeeded in killing fierce wolf and
at the same time prevented the animal
from killing their two dogs.
The girls had been out gathering
berries and had with them wooden
pail. Their two dogs faithfully fol-
lowed them, and while going along a
road which was skirted by timber,
discovered a huge wolf lying partly
concealed in the shrubbery near the
side of the road.
The two dogs Immediately attacked
the wolf, which, however, soon dem
onstrated that it was moro than a
match for the dogs. The two girls
rushed to the scene Of the fierce bat
tie, and just as they approached the
struggling animals the wolf succeeded
in inflicting horrible wounds with his
fangs upon the bodies of the dogs,
which were nearly exhausted.
Regardless of the danger, one of the
girls approached near enough to deal
the wolf number of hard blows on
the head with the pail. This partly
stunned the fierce animal. and before
it could recover it was killed.
The wolf was one of the largest
ever seen in that part of the state.

Have to Leave Their Prey.
The engineer and fireman OF a
freight train ON the Chamberlain
Black Hills extension had thrilling
encounter with a bunch OF rattle
snakes between Presho and Murdo.
The fireman discovered half dozen
big fellows summing themselves on
the rails and showing no disposition
to get out Of the way of the on-coming
train. The sporting blood OF the en-
gineer and fireman was aroused and
they determined to give the rattlers
chance for their lives.
themselves with sticks, the engineer
and fireman gave battle to the big
diamond backs. Just as the fight was
at it's most interesting climax the
sport was cut short by the train
suddenly starting to back. In the
haste of shutting the throttle the re-
verse lever had been thrown and the
train started to run in the direction
from which it had come.
Not to be deprived OF trophies OF
their brief but desperate battle the
fireman and engineer each seized a
dead RATHER and sprinted for the loco
motive, catching it before 1t had
gained much Roadway. The rattlers
killed were over six feet in length,
one having thirteen rattles and the
other only ten. The buttons will be
mounted as pins and worn by the men
as souvenirs of their experience.

Morehead is about seventy years
old. He had been in poor health for
some time. and recently came to the
conclusion that his mind was affected.
He talked freely of the matter to rela-

convince him otherwise. Having de-
termined what to do, the old man
calmly closed up his business affairs
and made preparations for his absence
from home. This done to his salts

lneendiarys Deed Gives Farmers a
Hard Fight.
Prompt action on the part Of farm
ers in the vicinity of Leola prevented
a disastrous prairie FIRE, but active as
they were in opposing the on-rush of
the flames. the fire was not extin-
eutshed until 1t had burned over an
extensive area.
The blaze was started by a man
whose identity has not been estab-
lished. Apparently actuated by spir-
1t OF deviltry, he was seen to set fire
t" some dead grass on a ranch owned
by the Northwestern Land company,
south Of Leola. A few moments later
the fire was beyond his control and
flames were shooting up to a height Of
twenty feet.
Farmers from all points hurried to
the scene and with use of plows and
back firing they finally succeeded in
combining the damage to an area Of
several acres. In the immediate Vi
entity Of the fire there are six families
whose homes were in imminent danger
Of destruction. Fortunately, however,
the breeze which was blowing shifted
just In the nick Of time. and they
were saved. The incendiary was held
until the fire was under control when
some Of the thoroughly aroused farm
ers started to punish him. In the
scuftie that followed the fellow got
away, leaving his coat and hat behind,
and, although chased for some dis
lance, he managed to make good his
escape.

There have been several return
