Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Letters from Smyrna, of the 26th of July, give an account of a terrible disaster which occured at Adalia some days before. A furious wolf suddenly appeared in the midst of the market place, and bit several persons most severely, but taking fright at the cries which arose at all sides, he jumped over a wall, and got into a large garden where several hundred persons, who had come to town on account of the silk crop, were sleeping in the open air. Here he wounded one hundred and twenty-eight persons, but being again frightened away by the cries of the people, he got into a sheepfold, where he killed eighty-five sheep and wounded seventy-five. The wolf was killed on the following day. Several wounded had died of hydrophobia.
