Hutchinson Says Wichita Gets
Better Service.
Utilities Commission Asked to
Prevent Discrimination.

Hutchinson. Kan. Nov. 15.-Hutchin-
son is one city that will be glad to see
the public utilities commission take
action against the gas company While
in other towns the gas SUPPLY has been
more or less short during the cold
weather of earlier in the week Hutch
inson has been practically without gas.
Saturday, the coolest day f the season
there was not enough gas in a large
portion of the residence district to use
for cooking or lighting purposes.
Persons depending on gas for heat
were at the mercy Of the cold and no
relief was promised by the gas COM
pany Officials at Wichita were called
by telephone but While expressing SYM
pathy for the Reno county town they
said there was no shortage OF gas at

by Hungry Beasts.
At First Hungry Pack Thought
to Be Dogs.

Attempt to Drive Off Coyotes
With Whip Fails.
Boldness of Beasts Surprises Old
Time Resident.

Hutchinson, Kan. Nov. 15-The story
of q thrilling encounter with Kansas
.srairie wolves, madaened by hunger
and the smell of fresh meat, was rela-
ted by P. W. Kroager. of Cimarron,
While on a visit here.
f. A. Norris, his daughter, Mrs.
son. all of whom reside in Gray coun-
- were driving in a carriage home
from Meade, where they had been trad
ing
1t was late when the party started
from Mea de, and they decided to make
the drive by starlight, not dreaming
of the experience they were about to
encounter.
Thought Dogs at First.
Shortly after they had crossed
Crooked creek they discovered several
animals following them in the road. At
first they thought it was Wo or three
dogs, but before long others Joined the
pack and they realized that a pack of
hungry paririe wolves was on their
trail.
Ordinarily the Kansas coyotes are
coWardly and seldom venture to follow
human beings, but Mr. Norris had
lot of fresh meat in the carriage and
it is probable the hungry wolves got
the scent of this meat.
At first the party thought little of
the matter, but as the pack grew in
size and some of the holder wolves at
tempted to make dashes at the horses
the situation became more alarming.
Coyotes Show Fight.

ed back with a whip to lash the wolves.
To his surprise they showed fight ana
jumped and snapped at hi11 in such a
vicious manner that he hurried back
to the carriage, whipped up the team
and made a wild dash for the nearest
settlement.
Tt was in sparsely settled section Of
southern Gray county. The bowling OF
the wolves frightened the ladies IN the
party, and also badly scared the horses,

they could to escape from the pack be-

Checked Hungry Pack.
Mr. Norris succeeded il checking
the pack for time by throwing out
TO them the meat which he was taking
home and which had really attracted
the wolves. The party finally reached
home without mishap further than
good scare.
Mr.. Norris, who has lived in western
Kansas many years, said this was the
first time he had ever heard OF
pack Of coyotes being bold enough to
give chase in this way
1t is possible that they We're lopoes,
or Texas timber wolves, which are
larger and fiercer than the coyotes,
said Mr. Norris. Probably the scent
of the fresh meat rendered the hungry
wolves more ferocious than they other
wise would have been"

IS hard to find a suitable remedy. First
