PURSUED BY WOLVES.
INSPECTOR ESCAPES BY CLIMBING A SIGNAL POST.
Vienna, February 1
Josef Szaho, a railway inspector of the permanent way, yesterday had a narrow escape from being eaten by a pack of wolves near Csap, Hungary. He was running down the line on a trolley when he heard the howl of the wolves, and though he worked the trolley as fast as he could, they were soon in close pursuit. He kept them at bay for a time by firing his revolver, but his cartridges were becoming exhausted, and, finally, having momentarily detained the pack by killing one of the brutes, he leaped from his trolley and climbed up a signal post.
He remained there for three hours, by which time it had grown dark, and on hearing the approach of a train, he set fire to his handkerchief. This attracted the attention ot the driver, who stopped the train, and the official was rescued from his perilous position half frozen to death.
