HUNGRY UMBER WOLVES
IN NORTH COUNTRY
DEVOUR THREE MEN
Port Arthur, Ont., Dec. 28.—A great
roving band of hungry timber wolves
has devoured three men, according to
reports sifting in yesterday from the
snow covered trails of the Sturgeon
river country. These reports told of
a losing battle fought by two Indians
after a white trapper had been
downed and killed.
Last Saturday an elderly trapper
left his cabin in the woods 70 miles
north of Jgnace to mush down to the
settlement for bis Christmas mall. He
arrived In safety. There was no mall,
however, and the old man said he
would come back Christmas morning]
At noon he had not arrived. The
postmaster sent two Indians to fol
low the trail until they found him.
About two miles from the settle
ment the Indians found a spot pound
ed down In' the snow and crimson
hued.. Bits of dog harness torn to
shreds were scattered about. In the
midst of them the Indians found ht>
man bones. They hastened .back to
report their discovery.
The lure of the bounty on wolve*
however, urged the Indians to talcs
trail again with extra ammunition
They sped behind their dog team Into
the woods as the villagers waved
goodbye. They did not return.
Yesterday a new searching party
departed. They found another patch
trodden In the snow about two miles
beyond the first.
The two guns the Indians had car
ried were lying there and scattered
about were bones, bits of clothing and
empty shells.
The carcasses of sixteen dead
wolves lay stretched In a circle about
the trampled patch of snow.
