    We are indebted to Ephraim Brown, Esq., for the particulars of a fight which occured recently at Bridge Creek, between Mrs. T. C. Higgins and about a dozen wolves: Early in the evening, Mrs. Higgins heard an unusual noise at the calf-pen as if a dozen wolves were contemplating an attack upon the calf. Upon her approach, they retreated a short distance. Mrs. H. is a good shot with a rifle, and she first determined to shoot at least one of the intruders with her husband’s loaded rifle; upon reflection, she concluded to put strychnine upon some meat she had in the house, and gave it to her unwelcome visitors. She did so, and upon the return of her husband, who was absent the fore part of the evening, he found twelve wolves lying dead within a few rods of the house.-[Eau Claire [Wis.] Free Press.
