THE MAD WOLF.
THE STORY OY A TRAPPKR’s FATE.
Hydrophobia though fortunately a
disease of rare occurrence in man, is
one of the most recondite and least
understood in the whole range of
fleshy ills. It is, indeed, given up by
medical authorities asiucurableafter
the symptoms ouee set in, tho only
remedies being of a preventive and
not of a curative character. The
wolf, the dog, the fox, the jackal ami
the cat seem most liable to contract
the disease, though it occasionally
occurs in Other animals, its appear
ance, according to Eckel, being most
frequent in the mouths of February
and May, though popular belief bus
laid hold upon the latter heats of
summer or the dog-days, as the sea
son in which this horrible malady is
most to be apprehended. Its origin,
when tie novo, is little understood;
but intense thirst, sudden changes
from heat to cold, bad food, and un
satisfied sexual desires have all been
assigned as causes for its appearance
in animals; but in man it is invaria
bly, and in animals most commonly,
the result of contagion. When con
tracted by man it is usually from
bites of rabid dogs, but, fortunately
the wounds in most oases heal with
out any serious consequences, but
one person in twenty or t hirty bitten,
according to Hunter and Vaughn,
taking the disease.
The bites inflicted by mad wolves
ore more certainly fatal, Watson
mentioning sixty-seven deaths by
hydrophobia out of one hundred and
fourteen bites. The greater viru
lence of wolf bites is accounted for by
wolves usually biting at the naked
par's, but dogs nearly always bite
through the clothing, the poisonous
saliva thus being wiped from the
teeth before they enter tho flesh.
But I set out to tell a story, not to
write a medical essay, though so
much on a subject illustrated by my
story, seemed not inappropriate by
way of introduction.
Among the tales which, in the hey
day of the American fur trade, the
trappers were wont to beguile the
evening hours by their camp-fires,
were those of wolves having gone
mad npon the prairie, crept by night
into the camp of the sleeping trap
per, and inflicted bites from which
the victim, after lingering through
days of suffering, died in terrible ag
ony. Many such stories were cur
rent in the olden time, and not even
the Indian alarm could arouse the
trapper so quickly from his slum
bers, and cause nim to clutch with
such fierceness the ever-ready rifle,
as the cry, resounding through the
camp ia the stillness of the night,
“Mad wolf! mad wolf!”
About the first of August, 1872, the
rival camps of the several fur compa
nies then contending for supremacy
in the west, were clustered near each
other in the valley of Green river.
One night a mad wolf entered the
camp of Fontonello, who represented
the interest of the American fur com
pany, and passing rapidly by the re
cumbent and sleeping men, inflicted
upon several a slight bite, proceeded
among the horses, several of which
It bit, and escaped in the darkness.
The alarm was spread to all the
camps, and the following day a num
ber of tents were erected by the more
prudent men for their better protec
tion should the wolf return. In the
camp of Fitzpatrick and Campbell,
live miles distant from that of Fon
tenelle, but one tent was pitched, the
occupants at night barricading the
entrance with pack saddles; but as
the night was pleasant the remainder
or the men preferred to take their
chances in the open air, laughing and
joking their more prudent com
panions not a little for the precaution
they had taken. Night came, and
silence fell upon the camp, only
broken at intervals of twenty min
utes, when the chief of the guard
sounded the cry of "All’s well!”
which was taken up aud repeated
successively by the drowsy sentinels,
who, forbidden by the rules of the
camp to pace their beats lest they
should be made a target for the feath
ered shafts of unseen foes, could
scarcely keep awake in the recum
bent or sitting postures they were re
quired to maintain in some dark
nook on the verge of the camp. But
presently a shaggy form steals past
the nodding sentinels, and reaches
undiscovered the centre of the camp.
It approaches the sleeping form of
George Howe, who, wrapped in his
blanket and resting on his left side,
leaves quite unprotected his right ear
THE DAILY TIMES.
and cheek.
Snapping at the exposed face, the
shaggy intruder inflicts a severe
wound, rousing Howo rudely from
his slumbers with tho cry on his lips:
“Hoi lam bitten! a mad wolf]” “A
mad wolf! a mad wolf!” echoed the
now aroused sentinels, and every
man leaped to his feet in
great consternation. But tho wolf
sprang quickly upon the other men
and bit them in the face ere they
could risc,„aud then, favored by the
confusion and the darkness, effected
its escape. The next morning mount
ed men scoured the plain in every di
rection in search of the rabid mon
ster, but without avail; lie seemed to
have gono quite off, and further ap
prehension was quited. In conse
quence no additional precautions
were taken the ensuing night; but
again, about midnight, th'e cry of
“Mad Woif!”rang through the camp.
This time the creature was among
the cattle, and fled after having bit
ten a flue, large bull, which wus des
tined for Fort William, at the mouth
of the Yellowstone, to be employed
in breeding. The wolf might have
been killed on this occasion, but for
fear of accidents orders had been
given not to fire in camp; ho was
however, not long afterwards shot,
and killed by Fontenelle's men.
A few days subsequent t,o these
events Fontenello and Campbell
■broke camp and started for the Big
Horn river, the latter on his way
with the year’s accumulation of pel
tries, tho'former to escort him as far
as the river named. The bull that
had been bitten appeared to be doing
well, and Howe’s wounds wore rapid
ly healing; but when some two day’s
march from the Big Horn, the bull
commenced to behave strangely, in
dulging in protracted fits of tierce
bellowing, all the while foaming at
the mouth and pawing the ground
with silence. It was evident that he
was going mad, and poor Howe be
came dreadfully alarmed for himself,
He was a young man from New York,
of good family, and well educated
aud had sought, the West and adopt
ed the trapper’s vocation, impelled
solely by the spirit of adveuture
which leads so many young men to
make sacrifices of the advantages of
a good homo and tiro companionship
of friends to plunge into a life of
hardship and danger. Howe had,
among other trappers, an excellent
friend named Larponteur, then quite
a young man, who subsequently
passed forty years on the plains, and
became well known on the frontier
As they marched along together, wit
nesses of the mad antics of the bull,
Howe with white face and trembling
voice, wouldsay : “Larpeuteur,don’t
you hear the bull? He is going mad.
I am beginning to get frightened.
Do you think I shall go mad?” Then,
relasping into painful thought on
the horrible prospect, he would ero
long again break silence in a piteous
appeal to his friends for the com
forting assurance that he should
probably escape so dreadful a fate.
Larpeuteur, with a heart wrung with
affoctionato sympathy, made to these
questions in a voice of forced steadi
ness as consoling a reply as ho might;
but with the conviction in his heart
that Howo was doomed, his words
but feebly concealed his own fore
bodings. The Big Horn was reached.
Campbell’s party, including Larpen
tour, fell to work on the boats of
skins in which they were to float
down the Big Horn and Yellowstone
to tho Missouri, while Fontenelle
turned to scatter his band through
the beaver grounds to begin tho sea
son's trapping. Howo returned with
Fontenelle, and thus did not witness
the death of the bull, which occurred
soon after from a well ueveloi>ed ease
of hydrophobia. But poor Howo was
constantly tortured with dread; he
seemed impressed with the hopeless
ness of his escape, and bitter and ter
rible were his reflections at the pros
pect of thus miserably perishing far
from homo aud friends—friends who
might never know his tale. Alas!
that he hud ever left them! Would
that upon this August day he might
stand again within hearing of the
dear ones at that door —tho door of
his father’s house—out of which not
many months before he had joyously
passed, seeking adventure, and only
achieving an end like this! Would
that tho brown and treeless prairie
which he now traversed in such de
spondency and horror, might be re
placed by the green grass upon which
he gamboled in boyhood, and the
leafy coverts whose graceful shade
had sheltered him from the summer
heat on many a day like this.
But let us dwell no longer upon
his sufferings. This mental anguish,
this dread of the impending fate
one of the earliest symptoms of hy
drophobia—was soon followed by
other symptoms more pronounced.
He would turn pule at sight of the
small streams on the route, cross
them with trembling, and finally,
overcome by his dread of water, he
dared not cross them at all. It. be
came necessary to cover him with a
blanket and carry him across, the
mere sight of water throwing him in
to convulsions. At length it became
difficult to get him along at all, and
one afternoon, not far from the pro
posed camping ground, he was left
behind in care of two men until he
should recover from a fit into which
he had fallen. The attendants soon
weatied of their task, and came into
camp without him.
Fontenelle immediately sent back
a party to bring him in, but when
they arrived at the spot where he
had been left, they found only tho
torn remnants of his clothing, which
he had evidently stripped off in ids
paroxisms, and then tied nuked into
the wilderness. He was never found,
and undoubtedly perished miserably
in his forlorntcondition, without a
companion to solace his dying mo
ments, or a friendly hand to bury
his remains.

Letter from IScv. J. W. Simmons.
We lay before our readers a letter
from Rev. J. W. Simmons, pastor of
the Methodist church in Brunswick,
wtio with a high Christian heorism,
lias been at his post during the whole
of the terrible epidemic. He writes
as follows:
Brunswick. September 27, 1876.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I
have hud no time nor heart to write for
tho past week, so arduous have been
my labors, so sorrowful my sympa
thetic heart for my suffering and be
reaved fellow citizens. Besides vour
information to the publio lias been
in the main correct. No one can de
pict tho horror, nor describe the suf
fering, even though he should puss
through it every day a9l have for the
last two weeks. We hope the worst
is past, but who knows what is in
store for us but "He Who tempers
tiio wind to the shorn Lamb?” May
He in liis mercy spare us.
Brunswick has a population of
about 3,n00 persons, fully half of
whom are colored. More than half
of our white citizens have left -many
of thorn, however, 100 late, for wo
hear of them being sick all over the
country. The few white men re
maining have been taken sick one af
ter another until there are but few of
us left to hire nurse, distribute chari
ties sent iu and bury tho dead.
Tho colored people havo assisted us
nobly in this work of mercy. Tho fe
vcver is now spreading among them
though happily it does not prove so
fatal.
Many of our most prominent men
have fallen, and not less than one
tenth of the adult male whites, who
have remained in the city. You have
noticed the death of T. F. Smith, edi
tor of the Appeal, aud A. J. Smith,
Esq., a prominent lawyer, formerly
of Newuau, who was the Democratic
candidate for the State Senate. But
wo forbear to go over this sad roll
any further.
In a few days we will forward a
list of contributors, which we trust
you will publish for us, for we have
no paper now. Indeed all business
is stopped. The arrival of the cars
is an event to us now, as it brings
bread to the living and coffins for
the dying. The rolling in of the
trains sounds like muffled drums in
a grave yard. The whistles have
nearly ceased to blow.
The five physicians we havo 3nd
the sixteen nurses from New Orleans,
Mobile, Macon, Atlanta and Jackson
ville have cheered us much, and, we
hope, will save many precious lives.
The fever will have run through with
the whites in a few more days, and
may not be fatal to but few blacks.
Tell all ray friends to continue to
work and pray for us. Our Heaven
ly Father will reward and heur their
labors and petitions.
Coi. Isauc Christian, of Darien,
died here of yellow fever, -leaving a
family. He was once Solicitor Gen
eral of this rireuit.
Yours in haste,
J. W. Simmons.
P. B.—T. E. Davenport, Mayor, and
J. M. Dexter, Chairman of the Board
of Health, were taken down with the
fever to-day. I have sent telegrams
everyday, but suppose they must
have' failed to go. Two operators
have been sent here, and both are
down with tho lever. There is no
operator here now except anew boy.
J. W. 8.
Special to the Atlanta Confetitution.J
Mr. Charles Fowler, well and fa
vorably known as the managing
agent of the Savannah theatre, died
to-day. He had many friends.
Among tho new cases to-day are
Col. R. L. Gentry, the well-known
ageut of the Havannan Morning
News, and Capt. W. W. Chisolm, cot
ton factor. The total number of new
cases to-day is about one hundred
aud thirty, of whom a good propor
tion are negroes.
The cool spell, which set in several
nights since.seems to exercise a good
effect so far, but it is feared that
when warmth returns to the atmos
phere again that there will be a very
large increase in the death rate.

TUB NEW YORK HERALD CORRECTS ONE
OK ITS FOOLISH BLUNDERS.
Washington, Sept. 80.--The Now
York Herald makes the following edito
rial unread e;
“Wo spoke severely, the other day, of
Ex-Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, in the
belief that ho hud real! uttered some
brutal words, which were impartial to
him in local newspapers, and we were
led to trust the report by some passages
in Judge Settle's reply to Mr. Vance,
which seemed to refer to tho language
imputed to Sir. Vance. A dispatch
which wo print elsewhere this morning
shows on the testimony of Judge Settle,
Mr. Vance’s opponent, that Mr. Vance
did not use the language imputed to him,
but that ho quoted from ono of tho (bloody
shirt) speeches of Mr. lugersoll, a Republi
can speaker, who 13 doing a good deal to
make sensible men vote the 1 lenioeralic
ticket all over the conntry.
Mr. Vance and Mr. Settle are stumping
Nortli Carolina together. They are rival
candidates for the Governorship. Judge
Settle heard and replied to Mr. Vance's
speech, and lie at onco oil being asked if
the report was correct, said it was not.
That is sufficient, and the best evidence
that Mr. Vance did not say what was im
puted to him. Of course outside remarks
had no cause to full to the ground.
Revolution In Uunyaiiull.
Washi.moton, Sept. 29.—Capt. E.
Simpson, of the United States steamer
Omaha, writes to the Navy Department,
under the date of Guayaquil, Ecuador,
Sept. 10th, that lie arrived there on the
Bth inst. and found the city in the midst
of a revolution, the General in command
of the troops in the city having issued a
prouunclamento to that effect with the
support of the. troops, and apparently
with the consent of the people. On the
following day a circular was issued to all
foreign consuls in the city notifying them
that the government of tho Republic of
Ecuador bad been assumed by General
Ventemilla, and assuring them of the
preservation of perfect order. Capt.
Simpson stated that lie was unable to
give tho Department any account of the
causo of this outbreak, but it was expect
ed that the movement originated by
Guayaquil would be followed by the peo
ple in Quito. If such should be the case,
the Presidency of Mr. Borrero is at an
end and Gen. Ventemilla will asume tho
the position of a revolutionary President
of Ecuador. Capt. Simpson, in conclu
sion snys: Causes which produce revolu
tions in these countries are not always
apparent, but a sudden change of govern
ment in Ecuador seems to bo truly unac
countable, when it is remembered how
this country rejoiced about a year ago at
its relief from a despotic govornment
which had endured for twenty years, and
witli what enthusiasm Mr. Borrero was
elected by ail classes to fill the office of
President.
