WOLVES. make MEAL
OF LONE PROSPECIoR
Horrible Tale From North is
Brought by Miner Who Was
Pursued by Beasts.

Seward, Alaska, Sept. 14.-Alonzo
Wells, a prospector who was pursued
for fourteen days by a pack Of
wolves in the Susitna river country,
north of Cook Inlet, tells a horrible
story of the fate that overlook a
brother miner who was run down by
the beasts.
Wells departed from Knick-on-
Knick Arm, Aug. l., to join his
brother Frank Wells, who has min
ing claims on Iron creek. Four days
out Wells fell in with the wolves,
who dared not attack him because he
was armed, yet constantly kept COM
pany with him until he reached his
destination. Wells would climb a
tree at night and lash himself to the
trunk in order to sleep while the
wolves waited below.
At one point on his Journey he
heard a man shrieking for help.
Making his way to the place whence
sounded the cries, he found a min
er's pack, shreds of clothing, gnawed
bones and other evidence that the
ravenous beasts had made a meal of
a miner. There was nothing in the
pack to reveal the mans identity.

PANTHER HUNTING WITH DOGS.

Vancouver Island harbors q large
of p%anthers, but it is neces.
sary to have a good hound with q
lot of pluck in him to hunt them, SO
We were very lucky to engage a man
with a couple of fine dogs, both very
keen. We got our first cougar with
out any special incident; but not SO
our second. Near Salmon River,
which is south of Alert bay, is one Of
the best places for panthers, and
there is also magnificent duck shoot
ing to be had there. Four of us had
taken our t%welve-bore shotguns and
gone of after some duck. When
we set out one of the hounds fol-
lowed us, and as he was a great IA.
vorite we did not send him back.
We had some fair sport with the
duck, although we shot very bodily,
and started back with more than
enough to carry. Half way back to
camp, Bellman, the hound gave
tongue and went OF at a tremendous
rate.
by Jove, there may be some pam

were hardly out Of my mouth when,
as we mounted the crest. we saw not

defend ourselves with.
But the second was made Of stern

hounds back, and then the two be-
came SO tangled up that we could
hardly distinguish one from the
other. Bingham, who was one Of
the duck shooters, had outrun tho
rest Of US, and when he came up to
the two animals, fighting for their
lives, he managed to put the barrel
of his gun right against the panther's
head and pulled the trigger. Poor

JURY DECIDES
AGAINST PAsC0E
Verdict Rendered i'm Favor of Amer.
lean Brake Shoe and Foundry
Company.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. IL
The federal jury in the case of the
American Brake Shoe and Foundry
Co. against William F. Pascoe, after
being out some time, brought in a
verdict in favor Of the plaintiff for
$2,S61.11, this amount covering a
note for $4,000 and interest.
Pascoe's defense for the non-pay-
ment of the note endorsed by him
self was that at the time Of the ex-
ecution Of the instrument he entered
into a conspiracy with the vice pres
ident of the company to compound a
felony. He stated that he endorsed
the note to make good a shortage Of
100000 in the accounts Of an en-
ploye of the company, and that the
vice president had told him that II
he endorsed the note the criminal
would not be prosecuted. The jury
did, not however, take much stock
in this explanation, and found in ia
vor Of the plaintiff.
The jury has been discharged and
the court will spend the day in listen
ing to the arguments Of attorneys on
motions, etc.
Today vas spent mostly in excus-
ing jurors. There will be some
hearings before the court tomorrow,
but the business of the session is
practically concluded.

10, THE POOR CITY MAN.
He Now Needs the Sympathy Which
the Farmer Used to Re.
ceive.

What has become of the Roosevelt
commission on country life? asks the
Denver Republican.
If it is still extant, it ought to go
to Kansas and find out why the farm
ers want to put 100000 more
into automobiles, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Also to count the farms that are
running by electricity.
The Roosevelt commission was 60
ing to ameliorate country life, but
the present era of high prices shows
that the life is rapidly ameliorating
itself. It wants no sympathy.
The hardscrabble farmer with a
shack, a wife in calico, five children,
seven dogs and a mortgage is van
fishing. He belonged to the pioneer
age and the holdover period and to
the communities which practiced the
stinginess which BENJAMIN Franklin
preached.
AS cities grow and population in
creases, food prices rise, and the
farmer, II he knows what he is
about, gets most Of the benefit from
them.
Among other things, he got a
buggy for the boys and a piano for
the girls, and gave the youngsters
good schooling, and as things kept
looking up he refurnished the old
homestead, built out some veran'
das, put electrical power in the
barns, and then bought an automo.
bile. Now nothing distinguishes
him from the gentleman farmer ex.
cept that he works and makes
money.
If the Roosevelt commission wants
something to do, let it reorganize
and try to ameliorate city life.
Let it see If there isn't some prac
ticable way for city people to hit thu
middleman on the other side and ge'
their share of the profits he is ex
torting from them.
The farmer is all right. If he l
a good one and has productive land
he is the most Independent man II
the state.
