tween the rails on the main line, and
as he did not leave the spot on the ap.
proach of Herman's wagon, he (Her
mani grabbed his fork and ran up tc
the wolf, which had its head close to
the rails, as if in a trap.
After killing the wolf Herman tore
the animal from the rail and was as,

left attached to the metals. Suisse
Quently I investigated this curious in

The morning passenger train had
passed that point only a few minutes
before Herman saw the wolf and had
run over a jack rabbit, leaving the
blood on the rail. The wolf had either
been chasing the rabbit or had hap
pened by soon afIerward, and in try,
ing to lick the blood from the rail
his tongue, owing to the intense cold
of the metal, froze to it, while the
saliva from his mouth became a cake
of solid ice over an inch thick, at
taching him to the rail as securely as
though in a wise.

MURDERED IN ITALY.
Woman's Body Found in Trunk
Drawn from Lake Como.


The police are searching Lombardy
and all northern Italy for the muir
derer of an American woman, whose
body, stuffed in a trunk, was found by
fishermen in a little lake near the viii
lage of Moltrasio, a short distance
from Como and about thirty miles
from Milan.
The authorities of Cernobbio, the
nearest city of consequence to the
scene of the murder, have ascertained
that the woman was Mrs Porter
Charlton, and that she had been living
with her husband in the Villa Mol
trasio, which had been let to them by
Russian gentleman they met casu-
ally
The police discovered after an ex-
animation of letters and papers found
in the abandoned villa that Mrs.
Charlton, before her last marriage,
was Mrs. Mary Scott Castle of a we'll
known San Francisco family. Porter
Charlton has disappeared, but Con-
stantfne Spolatoff, the Russian who
rented the villa, has been arrested at
Roggiano. The police fear that
Charlton also has been murdered. as
they are at a loss to account other
wise for his complete disappearance.

Postoffice Robbers Are Surrounded
in swampy Locality.
Sheriff tanning of Jackson County
and a posse have been searching the
swamp between Mcmillan and Black
River Falls for four bandits who blew
the poslofice safe in Mcmillan and
took $1,000 in stamps and $3.50 in
money. A fifth member of the gang
was shot in running battle with the
sheriff's posse. The deputies located
the robbers soon after the looting of
box car by trainmen bun managed to
saw their way out and run. Three
miles from Black River Falls the depu-
ties were able to exchange shots with
the fleeing thieves and one dropped in
his tracks. The others scattered
through the swamp and their capture
is expected momentarily The wound
ed robber had sack containing the
stolen stamps. He has not yet been
identified. A reward of 5000 for each
of the robbers has stimulated the hunt
and the capture of the gang seems
certain. The authorities were notified
and a deputy United States marshal
and Postofice Inspector Frazer of La
Crosse went overland to the locality
by auto. The sheriff has been on the
ground directing the hunt and armed
citizens watched all avenues of escape.
Eight hundred dollars in stamps have
been recovered and q small amount of
the $3.50 in money, 1t is believed the
gang is the one which robbed the Unity
bank.
