St. Cloud Minn. Journal
    About 10 o’clock last Saturday night, as Mr. Miner, of the town of Laugola, Benton County, was driving from his own house to Mr. Morrill’s, having with him his wife and three children, he was attacked by five large timber wolves. The fiece beasts sprang at his horses, and when Mr. Miner struck at the nearest one with his whip, it made a leap to get him, but struck against the wagon-box. At this moment Mr. Miner’s dog bravely attacked this wolf, and was set upon by the whole pack and killed, and almost devoured. This gave Mr. Miner an opportunity to whip up his horses and make off, which he did at full gallop, calling out loudly for help. His cries attracted the attention of Mr. Jocelyn and family, who came to the rescue, and the wolves were driven off. But for the fortunate interference of the dog the result might have been much more serious. An attack of this kind by wolves is almost without precedent in this part of the state, and it must be that the animals were driven to it by ravenous hunger.
