This would leave only 10 blind tigers
for the al pengary counties not lnclu6-
ing Charleston and vlci:.!ty and Go

as the correspondent makes out for
the ~dispensary counties, which are
trying to enforce the law. The cor
respondent goes on to say:
The habitat OF the tax receipt

cities. The rural moonshiner fights
1t out with the deputy marshals as
best he can without giving up to the
government the price Of the tax re-
ceipt. In Columbia, the capital city
the tiger Is far less arrogant than he
was a few years ago. There are now
twenty -5wo blind tigers In Columbia,
which pay the tax r(c,ipt, most OF
th'm being located within pistol shot

Concerning Charleston, the point
from which he writes, the correspond

ons that the blind tiger principally
thrives. Here he abides and does

Il have just completed q new map
OF the city, which shows 2Ol blind

CHASED BY WOLVES.
A Night Traveller Attacked by the
Hungry Boasts.

Hungry Boasts.
a dispatch from Outonagon, Mlch.,
says George Biggs, cha led by q large
pack Of hungry wolves had a thrilling
experience in the wilds OF Carp Lake
township. He was hauling q load Of
provisions from there to his home, at
the old Nonesuoh mine. The dis.
tanCe Is twenty miles, and the way
lies through a practically unbroken
forest
Night overlook him before he had
covered more than half the distacce.
He continued on his journey, and be-
tween 8 and 10 O'Clock no was startled
by the bowling OF wolves close at
hand. He had no weapons with him.
He urged his horses to q faster gait,
but as the road is up a heavy grade,
progress was allow at best
Biggs had only gone q short dis
tauoe farther when he noticed twenty
i've or Thirty Of the animals emerge
from the brush inuo the roadway just
behind him. On the front Of his
conveyance was a lantern with a re-
Hector. Mr.. Blgge seiz,d this and
turned the strong lignt Upon the
wolves. 1t frightened Them aud they
SUNK back into the shadows Of the
woods. But they 0 became bold
or and commenced closing In upon
tNeir prey.
Mr.. Biggs realized that he was In a
desperate plight. Ia the sleigh was
a tin pail with hay aud taking 1t to
the rea Of the conveyance he applied
q match. The flames cowed the ami
malls. The fire was kept burning
brightly, and at the sans time the
team was lashed and urged onward.
The wolves were kepu In check for
time, but they gradually came
closer and closer, advancing along the
sides Of the sleigh. The supply Of
hay was giviag out. Mr.. Bisgs In
desperation tore open q box Of canned
goods, and commenced hurting cans at
them with some effect, checking their
progress for the third time.
just as he was about to give up the
struggle G small clearing was entered.
The wolves dropped behind and the
man hurried the jaded horses Into
one Of the old mine buildings, ana,
closing the doors as securely as pos
sible, passed the night there. Inc
robes which were left In a Slelgh
were found In shrsds In the morning,
and the SNOW round tho bnt ding was
packed solid by the animals In their
epdesvor to gain entrance.
