BURNCLOTHESTO FRIEHTOJWOLVES Man and Woman Attacked When Auto Mires. IjARIMORE, N. D., Dee. 18.—Surrounded by a pack of howling wolves, Miss Lena Lanson and Swen Swenson, mired in an automobile Ave miles from Larimore, tore off piece by piece of their clothing, set sire to each successive piece with a match and thrust thè flaming mass out into thè darkness to stave off thè liurigry pack until daylight. When they had cast off all but their under-garments and thè beasts made ready for a conce rted attack, they threw a match into tlie engine of thè car and leaped out in a lost desperato attempt to save their lives. The automobile flamed until dawn. The wolves then dispersed, and thè couple took refuge in a faraihouse. Swenson and Miss Lanson were driving to a dance. So accustomed was Swenson to turning off thè road to thè wagon path leading to thè grain ftelds of thè farm on which he worked that he accidentali tumed off thè car that night and was niired before he discovered thè mistake. They had about decided to walk thè ftve miles to thè dance when a wolf hove in sight at thè top of thè low hill sloping from thè ravin© next to which ran thè wagon path. One by one thè pack assembled. Swenson had nothing but tlie crank and several wrenches to fight them off. In pairs thè beasts dashed up to thè machine. Miss Lanson beating them off on one side and Swenson on thè other. Hopelesslv outnumbered, they coneeived thè idea of staving thè pack off with Are. Swenson stripped off his coat, set it on tire and threw It out in front of thè machine. Then Miss Lanson took off her coat. So they continued until they sat shivering from thè cold. clad only in underclothing. As a last resort they set sire to thè car, and that alone held thè wolves at bay until daybreak.
