CHASED DY WOLVES
Brainerd, Minn., Feb. L8. -A
country school teacher at Dyke-
man. east of Brainerd, was
chased by wolves as she was
driving to her school She
heard the Jong* drawn wail of
the wolves and then a sharp
bark as the pack sprang from
the woods and followed the
sleigh. She applied the whip to
her horse and succeeded in saving everything except tlie sandwiches in her dinner pail, which
fell out when the cover flew off.
The leading wolf grabbed them
and this created a diversion
which enabled the horse to draw
away from his pursuers.
A DOUBLE RUNAWAY
A team owned by Mrs. ITrai,
left standing untied at the mill
last Friday afternoon, were
frightened and ran down the
street at a furious rate. In
frontof Macho's furniture* store,

Banach's sled, in which were
seated Mrs Banach and Iter
fourteen year old daughter, The
Banach team was frightened
by the crash, and they too
started down tbe street at a
• Mop with the Urai team
entangled and fastened to the
rear of the sledbox, and Mrs.
Banach dragging beside the
front runners on a "piece of the
topbox. Near Mueller's saloon
the anim lis ran into a electric
p »s1 with such force, that
the girl, who had remained in
the box, was thrown under the
feet of the front team. A doze'n
or more men wen* on hand in a
moment, who held the horses
and jerked the girl out from her
dangerous position. Aside from
a )r\\- bruises, no one was hurt,
but the' Urai wagon and the
Banach sled, were badly dam
aged.

The affected area grows larger,
the cracks become deeper, and
the animal is in an unsightly
and painful condition.
Owners of horses can prevent
the trouble, in the majority of
cases, by doing two things. Do
not allow manure to accumulate
behind your horses, and see
thai jour stalls are so constructed that the urine will drain
away promptly. If your horses
show* any tendencj* toward the
condition, apply a small amount
of carbolized vaseline, benxoin-
ated lard, or zinc oxide ointment, well rubbed into the af-

will soften the skin and protect
it from external moisture and
irritating substances. During
wet weather, or when the roads
and streets are muddy or slushy,
extra precautions should be taken to prevent the condition.
