Timber Wolves As Draft Horses.

Mr. and Mrs. Damerel of Ashland Travel in Unique Fashion.

Driving from coast to coast, with four timber wolves hitched to a spring wagon pulling them, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Damerel of Ashland, Wis., arrived in Waukegan today.
The queer equipage is now bound for New York, from which place it will double on its tracks and head for San Francisco, the trip being timed so that Mr. and Mrs. Damerel will arrive on the coast in 1915, when the world’s exposition begins.
Mr. and Mrs. Damerel have already traveled 1,500 miles with the wolves going back and forth across Wisconsin so as to visit every principal city. After remaining in Waukegan a short time they will start for Chicago.
The wolves were captured when they were young and brought up as pets. The oldest one of them is four years. They are comparatively tame, offering no objection to bystanders petting them.
