of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Olson. who live on a
farm in Bon Homme county. with no
weapon other than a common wooden

seen in that part of the state The
girls were out gathering berries. which
they placed in a wooden pail. They
were followed by their two dogs.
While passing along a road which was
skirted by timber. the dogs discovered
a huge wolf lying partially concealed
in the shrubbery near the side OF the
road.
The wolf was Immediately attacked
by the dogs but soon demonstrated
that it was more than a match for
both of them. Notwithstanding the
danger of being attacked by the wolf
one OF the girls approached near
enough to deal the wolf a number of
blows on the head with the pail
This partially stunned it and before it
could recover it was killed.
