band of hungry timber wolves has de
voured three men, according to reports
sifting in today from the snow covered
trails oi the Sturgeon river country,
l'hese tol I of a losing battle fought by
two I .dittos.alter a white trapper had
been dowued and kilted.
Halt Saturday an elderly trapper left
his cabiu in tbe woods 10 miles nor h
of Ignaee to mush down to the settle
ment for his mail. He arrived safely.
There was no mail, however, and Lhe
old man said lie would come back the
following morning. At noon he had
not arrived. The postmaster sent two
Indians to follow the trail until they
him.
About two miles from the settlement
the Indians found a spot pounded down
in the snow and crimson liued. Bits of
dog harness torn to shreds were scat
tered about. In the midst of them the
Indians found human bones. They
hastened back to report their discov
ery.
The lure of the bounty on wolves,
however; urged the Indians to take the
trail .again, with extra ammunition.
They sped behind their dog team into
i the woods as the villagers waved good
bye. They did not return.
