For 24 hours a large black Umber

It to be a dog, was trying to make

, The rescuers were Fati'olmea J. P.
O'Donaell and D. D. Morrin. Morrin
comes from the Black Hills, and
boasts of having caught coyotes with
his bare hands. He had an oppor
tunity to display his ability In this
line when the telephone bell of the
police station rang and a hysterical
Toice over the wire announced that
A big wolf was eating up a child.
Five minutes later the men arrived
at the wolf "lair." The baby, dressed
iu a red coat, was toddling toward the
animal, which, when it saw the two
intruders, bristled and showed its
teeth.
"Nice doggie," said the little girl, as
the animal, growling savagely, backed
Into a corner. A frantic mother ran
cut at this moment and, protected by
the police, seized the child in her
rms.
O'Donnell and Morrin advanced cau
tiously, one of them holding a rope
ready to lasso the beast The, wolf
snapped viciously at Morrin, but its
teeth caught in the man's glove. Then
the animal bolted for the basement

"Nice puppy, and was it lost?" she
crooned.
"I guess It was, ma'am," said th
policeman.
"You ought to know better than to
let savage wolves run amuck around
other peoples' houses," came an in

The young woman, who had pro
vided a muzzle for the purpose, at
tached It to her pet and led the woll
away. The animal barked like a dog

The owner is Thomas H. Pick, who

Erection cf l.-rrjs'n j Structure at
Madison Recall Humble Building.
Where Territorial Adminis
tration Was Organized.
Madison, Wis. Wisconsin's new
capital will be a sumptuous structure
compared with the building the state
fathers occupied when they gathered
in legislative session in 1S4S. The d
velopment of the great commonwealth
is shown in the required amplification
of its statehouse. The legislature of
Wisconsin has far outgrown the mod
est little building which at the time of
Its erection was considered the finest
cf its kind. It has demands that the
enlarged capltoj could not meet, and
so the old will give place to the new.
Work on the new structure is being
rapidly pushed, and at the meeting of
December 27 specimens of the best
grades of building material for the
outside walls were submitted by
Architect Post
In the early days many towns were
S anxious to have the capitol building
located within their limits, and many
a bitter contest was waged over its
j location. None of the seventeen appli
s cants succeeded In securing it A
town was laid out especially adapted
to its needs, a site unrivaled in nat
ural beauty by any Wisconsin town.
The location of the present state
capitol was selected by James D. Doty
in 1S38, and in December of that year
when the legislature convened at Del
mont, an act was passed to establish
the statehouse at Madison. There
were many reasons why this sita was
selected, and chief among them was
the central location. Milwaukee, Green
Bay and the lead mlnic region in the
southwestern part of the state were
the principal centers of Immigration
and of activity, so in selecting Madi
son the distance from any one of the
points would be about equal. The
Wisconsin territory had belonged to
the Michigan tract It was partitioned
and organized at Mineral Point July
4, 1836, into the territory of Wiscon
sin. The first legislative body met at
Belmont and there was a long struggle
as to where the capKol of the new
state would be permanently located.
Seventeen towns desired It and each
had inducements to offer. Fond da
Lac, Dubuque, Portage, Helena, Mil
waukee, Racine, Belmont, Mineral
Point, Green Bay, Plattovllle, Cassville,
Belleview, Kosbkononj;, Wisconsinap-
olis, Wisconsin City, Peru and Madi
son. Some of theso towns were, as
yet, not laid out, bit their promoters
had hopes for them If the capitol was
erected at the point advocated.
It was decided that the permanent
structure would be at Madison and a

a; pointed by the government to begin
work at once. Oa J.:'y 4, 1537, the
cornerstone was laid with ceremonies
appropriate to the occasion. The leg
islature of Wisconsin met for the first
time at Madison in 1S3S, but, as the
capitol building was not at that tima
in a suitable condition for occupation
the session was heid in the basement
of the American house, where the an
nual message oi! the go7ernor, Henry
Dodge, was delivered. During 1S36
and 1SST the national government ap
propriated $40,000 for the capital
building. Dane county $4,000, and the
territorial legislature aDout $18,000,
making the complete cost $80,000. The
building, when finished, was a substan

The building was enlarged from time
to time to provide for the growing
wants of the state.
In 1904 a portion of the north wing
and the greater part of the interior of
the capitol was destroyed by fire.
The first legislative hall of Wiscon
sin is still standing and there are
many earnest people in the state who
are pleading for its restoration, or at
least, to have it saved from the dese

At the time when the first legislative

minded it stands for something more.

while the Continental limited, the w a-
bash's fastest train, tore through space
at the rate of 50 miles an hour. When
the cold, rushing winds were numbing
her limbs and exhaustion was loosen
ing her grip on the handles; when it
seemed that she must let go and drop
from the rushing train, to be rolled
and pushed over the frozen ground,
and then left inert, bruised, battered
and dead, the train came to a stop.
Operator Modricker, in Wabash, Iud.,
where the girl had boarded the train,
had seen ler predicament and peril as
the limited was steaming out of the
station. Peru, 20 miles distant was
the train's next scheduled stop, and
Modricker, realizing that the girl could
not possibly cling to the handles that
length of time, rushed to his office and
furiously pounded the telegraph key,
calling the operator at Hartsman Sta
tion, five miles away. When the Con
tinental limited thundered into view
at Hartsman the operator was In the
middle of the track wildly flaunting

With grinding Jar the train came to
a stop, and Miss Milliron loosened her
grasp on the car handles and sank to
the ground, where she collapsed in a
heap. She could not have held on a
moment longer. '
Miss Milliorn will talk but little of
her experience. Thought of that wild
ride through space, with the wind
howling and shrieking in her ears and
striving to tear her from the train's
side, even now send tremors of fear
through her body. The strain which
she underwent during the time it took
for the train to travel those five miles
would have caused a physical break

Miss Milliorn had been Tisiting at
the home of her sister, Mrs. John
Reed, of Lafayette, and the two went
to Wabash to visit another sister.
Mrs. Reed decided to remain for sev
eral days and Miss Milliorn in the
afternoon hastily made up her mind to
take the Continental limited and re
turn to her home In Logansport The
decision necessitated a hurried pack
ing and fast walk to the Wabash rail
road station. Miss Milliron arrived in
the depot Just as the train was pulling
out She gave her sister a farewell
kiss, and clutching her skirts she raced
out and plucklly grabbed the handles
of a vestibuled car. She was dragged
a little before she clambered upon the
steps. The vestibule door refused to
open. It would not budge. She pushed
and strained and, failing to open It,
pounded frantically on the &lass, hop
