MNlf In Italian IoMr.

1t is not often that European eyes
at least in town area-wilness the
spectacle Of a wolf trotting leisurely
through the streets in broad daylight,
and with little apparent concern. Such
an Incident happened the other day
at the Italian town Of AnneZzanO, the
animal shifting first in the direction of
one house and then Of another as he
went along.
Passing by the hospital, an attend
ant OF sporting instincts saw the game,
and rushing for gun, gave chase.
Before long he got chance for shot,
which hit the wolf badly and following
this W with another, the beast was
slain. It's presence in such circum-
stances is accounted for by the theory
that the beast had been hunting over
might away from his haunts, and after
eating to satisfy and sleeping through
the night. was making his way back to
the lair.
