LARK and John Roan, who [ live eight miles north of j Roan. Mo., have chased to (death three foxes and \ three gray wolves this year. They say there is more of the •same exciting game in West Macon ^County waiting the houndB and the huntsman’s horn. The gray timber wolf is the most formidable of the spe cies* Compared with the coyote of the West, it Is as a tiger to a pit mule. It would be merely a pleasant diversion for a gray wolf to tackle a couple of *he best dogs that could be put after faim. The Roan boys are brothers. Both are short and chunky, as tenacious as ■•the long, strong limbed bounds behind Twfcich they ride. Their imported dogs ^Tere reared to fight wolves. Even ■With the best training, no dog alone .will seek an issue with a gray wolf. The educated wolfhounds chase in packs of from four to eight, and when they come up with their prey they throw It down on its back, and then the execution comes. If the wolf can retain his feet the dogs can’t conquer faJm. . ■' * The Roan brothers told of a chase they had last Saturday. “We started the game north of New Boston, down •on the Burlington Railroad,’’ said ’Clark, “at 8 o’clock in the morning, and at 4 In the afternoon were In at the death, which occurred on the farm •of the late Judge Andrew Ellison, west •of Klrksville, a distance of fifty miles •direct, or about twice that distance, ns the wolf led us. Wc followed almost identically the wild country trail taken by the Brookfield bank robbers some twenty years ago, when the farmers of Lina, MSeon and Adair counties, with pitchforks, flintlocks and army mus kets, pursued them. Our wolf gave up the ghost within n stone’s throw of where the robbers laid down their guns to the farmers. “There were eight/hounds and six hunters. Wo started the/xvolf in a sort of draw. He strucl^'out across the prairie to the nori-fcwest in an easy canter, but the dugs soon began press ing him hntd, €ml lie put on a full head of stca*j£ it was a royal race. The hounds tvere stretched out to near ly double Aheir ordinary length, but the wolf/steadily held his distance ahead I^ ’spite of all we could do. Near .WinWfi ivo lost him in the brush, and the yfrunds were bothered a while. By ar A by they flushed him in a small ra- Vino, and away they went, the forms fof pursued and pursuers clearly show ing against the snow. The wolf was giving the lioumls the exercise of their lives. He was of the gray species, called a timber wolf, and was the larg est and most active I bad ever seen. * “The riders were soon left far be hind, but for the lost hour of the chase the dogs bad the quarry In slgfit. John Bunch, a farmer of Adair County, /tfhen lie saw the game, hurriedly got bis horse and fell In behind the hounds. He was In at the death and saw the fight, which fs the exciting climax of a wolf hunt. He told us the wolf stopped qnridcnly, ns if it had got tired of run- Sling, and faced its pursuers. The dogs Surrounded it warily, ns hunters do when closing in on human game. As •the wolf stood at bay Bunch said It looked ns large as a calf. It was big ger than any of the dogs that had chased it. Finally one of the dogs made a lunge for the enemy’s foreleg. The wolf’s long, thin head shot out. and the hound withdrew yelping, with a strip three Inches long torn from his (lank and h!s blood covering the snow. Another dog was caught In the foreleg, nnd the wound looked like it had been Inflicted by a razor wielded by a strong hand. But the pack knew their busi ness. With one grand rush they leaped upon the wolf, nnd In a twink ling he was on his back, and merciless teeth were at his throat. In a moment more he was a very good wolf, and nothing of value was left to him but bis hide. . “Wo got In about half an hour after the obsequies. The bloody snow told the story of a gallant fight. Three or four dogs were urgently in need of a surgeon, but they seemed happy, nev ertheless, nnd. the experience will make them better wolf dogs than ever. K will also teach them to see that their comrades are ready before getting within striking distance of a gray wolf again.” Mr. Roan said wolves were more nu merous in Western Macon County than ever known before, and stock raisers have suffered severely. A bounty lias been offered for wolf scalps, and the farmer boys are organizing their hunt ing bands nnd getting their dogs in training. No wolf hunter carries a gun, because he knows he could never get near enough to make n shot. Foxes are also plentiful. They are more cun ning and harder to catch than wolves, but not nearly so dnngerous. A gray timber wolf can put up as stiff a fight as a panther. A wolf dog Js taught to fight in early life by being placed with a young wolf. At maturity he knows what he Is limning against when he hears the horn, and is anxious for the chase, because he knows it means a fight, and that is all that makes life worth living to the wolfhound.—Kan sas City Times. A PRIESTS ADVENTURE. “Happy the man that once in four and twenty hours cou’d get so much as a Sup of Broath,” wrote Father Hennepin in describing his explora tions along the River “Ouisconsin” in 1678. Father Hennepin and one at tendant named Picard left the larger party In “a little sorry Canou” to meet, a reinforcement which was to bring powder, lead and provisions, that were so greatly needed. He thus describes their progress: . “When we embarked in the Morning, we knew not whether we shou’d have anything to eat at Night ’Twas not every Day we met with any Game, nor when we did were we sure to kill it This put us upon Hunting the Tortoise; but ’twas with much difficulty that we could take any; for being Very quick of hearing, they Would throw themselves Into the Water upon the least noise. However, we took one at last, which was much larger than any we had seen; His Shell was thin, and the Flesh very fat Whilst I was contriving to cut off his Head, he had like to have been before-haid with me, by snapping of my Finger with his Teeth, which are very sharp. “Whilst we were managing this Affair we had hailed our Canou ashore; but It seems a sudden and violent Blast of Wind had earry’d her off again to the middle of the River. Picard was gone to the Meadows, to see if he canid kill a wild Bull; so that I was left alone with the Canou. This obliged me to throw my Habit as fast as I could over the Tortoise, which I had turned, for fear he 5 should get away. When I had done I fell a swimming after our Canou which went very fast down the River, being carry’d by a very quick Stream. After I bad recover’d it, with a great deal of difficulty, I durst not get into it, for fear of being overset, for fear of wetting the Woollen Cover let and the rest of our little Equipage. For which reason I was forced to push it sometimes before me, and sometimes tug it After me, till little by llttlo I gained the- Slioar. Picard in the mean* time bad killed a Buffalo. “ ’Twas now almost eight and forty hours since we eat Inst; so that we fell a kindling a Fire as fast as we could; nnd ns fast ns Picard sklnn’d it I put the pieces of Flesh into our little ear then Pot to boil. We eat of it with that greediness that both of us were sick; so that we were obliged to hide ourselves in an Island, where we rested for two Days for the recovery of our Health.” SAILOR FOUGIIT AN OCTOPUS. A daring fight between a man and an octopus occurred off Punaluu, Island of Hawaii, week before last. Waha, a native sailor, on the steamship Manua Lob, was the victor of t£e fight He displayed an unusual amount of reck lessness, for he attacked the creature without any knife or implement, says the Philadelphia Telegram. The purser of the vessel saw the oc topus swimming near one of the small boats from the steamship, and called Attention to the peculiar looking fish. Waha, who wore only a pair of trous ers, saw thatJJie thing was an enor mous squid dr octopus. Without a word he sprang overboard to attack the creature. The sailor grabbed hold of ihe two tentacles near the beak of the monster, and then cnsued'the most remarkable battle probably ever wit* nessed by any white man in that part of Hawaii. The most vulnerable part of an octo* pus is its eyes, and it was at these spots that Waha made his onslaught lie fought with his teeth and hands. The Instant that the octopus felt the man’s grip it lashed madly round nnd then dived below the surface of the water. Fortunately, the water was only up to Walia’s shoulders, and the man succeeded in getting a foothold the bottom and thus keeping his head above the water. The arms of the octopus were seen ^rapped around the body of Wnhn, but the man clung on. He realized that he was engaged in a life struggle, for if he relaxed his hold the creature would drag him un der the water and drown him. The octopus emitted a blackish fluid that colored the water In the vicinity of the struggling pair. But the native struggled on. He kept biting savagely at the eyes of the octopus. Once he got the right eye firmly gripped, but a sudden dive under the water choked him Into letting go his hold. The fight lasted fully fifteen minutes. First one eye of the octopus was torn away by the sailor, and finally the other. With the loss of the second eye the octopus gave up the fight. Tho creature measured fifteen feet across. Its tentacles were as largfi as a man’s wrist. Waha was badly bruised and bis arms and body flayed. ADVENTURES OF A DESERTER. An extraordinary story of desertion nnd Its sequel has Just been laid before the Assize Court of Farnopol, in Aus trian Poland. Some time since a Rus sian deserter, after swimming across the Zbuca, reached the village of Ku rina, on the Austrian side, when ho celebrated his escape by making him self incapably drunk. In this condition ho was carried before the Mayor, in compliance with whose orders the man was taken back and forcibly left in midstream, where he was seized by a Russian patrol. On the story reaching Vienna a pros ecution was instituted, and the Mayor has Just been sentenced to fourteen months’ imprisonment. Six other peas ants were sentenced to one month each. —London Globe. „ Bad French Gardening.
