There was a fierce fight at the edge or Aspinwaii, Just ovtelde the city limits, between three wolves, three dogs, a woman anda baby. One wolf was killed and the two others are' at lurge, That the animals were wolves is proved by the body of the one killed. .It is ftve feet, four inches long from tip to. tip and gray in color. It is presumed to be a menagerie wolf, as its fangs were filed and the feet were worn, showing that the beast had been used to ahard floor. - . V ... The animals were seen tn the afternoon by Mrs. Margaret Jeffries, who lives with her family In a boat house in the Alle gheny river. The animals tried to enter the cabin by the gang-plank . and Mrs. Jeffries set her ddga against them. In stead of tackling the beasts the dogs cir cled around and backed away, followed by the' wolves. The woIvcb jumped into the cabin with the dogs after them and ran towards Mrs.. Jeffries' baby which was playing on the floor with, the cat. In an instant, dogs, wolves, and cat were in a snarl on the floor, while Mrs. Jef fries plckod up her baby and ran into the far end of the cabin. The dogs wor ried the wolves so that they fled to the gangplank. Mrs. Jeflrles placed the baby on a shelf and picking up a boulder used to hold the door open, smashed one of tii wolves on the head with the stone. Ills companions fled pursued by the dogs. Frank Love heard the hulse and running Into the cabin took a shotgun which was lying alongside the baby and was forgot ten by Mrs. Jeffries, killed the wolf as It was struggling In the water.
