CHOKES WOLF To DEATH.
Lone Rancher, Unarmed, Lays Ami
nal Low When Attacked

Meeker, Colo.--A report comes
from Pyramid that Adam johnson
choked lobo wolf to death. This
species stands as high as a yearing
calf, weighing as much, and has al
ways proved more than a match for
not only the range cattle and horses,
but Of any other predatory animal
that roams the forest.
Johnson is a ranchman of that Sec
tion. An unexpected melting with the
animal, when he had neither knife
nor gun with him and immediate ac-
ton was necessary, sent the ranch
man on the jump at the VOLTS throat
Johnson succeeded in getting a
hold before the wolf could snap and
killed the animal.

LIFE DEsPAIRED OF; NOW 1Os.
Man Alive 7S Years After Doctor Pro-

West Royalston, Mass.-Seventy-
eight years ago Donald Davis, a ma
tive of this town, was dropped from
the Boston police force on the ad-
vice of a physician who said that he
had but year to live and if he
wanted to die at home he had better
return there at once. Mr. Davis has
celebrated his one hundred and third
birthday and he maintains that he
hardly yet begins to feel old. He
backs up the assertion by going al
most daily with his gun into the woods
and it is seldom that he comes back
without game. His wife, whom he
married in 1912, still presides over
his household at the age of 95.

INSECT EATS STEEL RAILS.
Italian Engineers Find Strange Crea-
ture i'm Piedmont

Rome-Italian engineers have dis
covered destructive insect that bores
into the steel rails and seems to
have the digestion of an ostrich. The
railroad line in Piedmont became ex-
tremely rusty SO quickly recently that
the engineers examined the rails mi
croscopically. They found in the steel
a dirty gray in color and about one
numberless worm-shaped creatures, a
dirty gray in color and about one
third of an inch long. Iron rust was
found in the animars interior, SO the
engineers concluded that the almost
impalpably fine podwer it produces
by boring into the steel rails is its
food.

Walter johnson was the cause OF all
the trouble.
The wonderful hurier of the Climbers
simply played with the lads from Jungle
town.
And by the way, the said pitcher
smacked out a couple Of base hits which
helped in the scoring.
Cobb was in the game, but not with
the willow.
Howard Shanks and Eddie Ainsmith
appeared to like the shift in the bat
! ting order.
The kid outfeld was on the job. get
ting two neat bingles, while Eddie con-
nected for a trio Of safeties.
Ty Cobb caught a little at the plate
when Griff's 2 o'clock infield was work
ing.
Jones, first up for the Tigers, whitfield.
Bush likewies missed three.
And then the mighty Ty Cobb. As hit
ter, was struck out by Walter, making
IL three in a row.
Crawford. fourth up, whitfield.
Deal, fifth at the bat, also struck out.
Moriarty broke the spell by doubling to
left.
Louden ended the second frame by
whiting. making the sixth strike out.
On Johnson's single to center in the
second inning, Ty Cobb made a perfect
peg to the plate. but Stanage dropped the
ball and Ainsmith scored
In spite Of Louden's swift fielding Of
Dan Moeller's grounder he failed to get
the speedy right gardener at first in the
second.

In the third round, Milan spanked one
against the right field screen. But 1t

Dutch Schaefer replaced Gandil on first
In the sixth inning.
Sam Crawford slammed one against
the scoreboard in the seventh for
double.
Groundkeeper Fitzgerald has put a
small receptacle for the balls in back
of the catcher's box, sinking the box
into the ground. This does away with
the necessity of the bat boy holding a
