The Daily Dispatch: January 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Mail Carrier attacked by Wolves--Narrow escape. (search)
ly gained the asylum of his hopes, with the savage beasts close upon him, and jumped from his horse on to the limb of the tree. The wolves came up in a moment, and after howling with disappointment for a short time, the loss of a warm supper, gradually settled down in quietude to watch their prey. The carrier remained in this awful condition until nearly morning, with scarcely any clothes on, having thrown off nearly all his wearing apparel, hoping to increase the speed of his poor animal. At about the dawn of day the wolves disappeared, when the mail-carrier, nearly frozen to death, fell from the tree to the ground insensible. In that condition our informant, who came along a short time afterward, found him, and carried him to a house five miles distant, where he recovered sufficiently, previous to our informant's departure, to relate the story. The horse was chased by a portion of the wolves, and is supposed to be lost, together with the mail.--Boyer Valley (Iowa) Record.
