WHITE EARTH, MIMI, Feb. 21.-Ne News
from creditable source has reached here
that q. few, days ago, in the sparsely set.
tied country around Aiken, two white
children, returning to their homes from
school late in the afternoon, ! were attack
ed and completely devoured BY. wolves, 8
few scattered bones and shreds of clothing
being all remaining in horrible testimony
of the children's fate. It mas supposed
at first that there were no more than two
wolves at most in the pack, but an Indian
hunter, shortly after the disappearance of
the children, encountered pack of ten
of the fierce brutes near the scene of the
tragedy. he used his Winchester rifle
with such effect as to kill eight outright,
and getting out of cartridges he went up
"a tree to escape from the fangs Of the
remaining two. These two men eaters
sauatted down at the foot of the tree
awaiting. the moment that the Indian
would become their prey. When he
thought his fate sealed he luckily found
two cartridges in the depths of his pockets.
With these he settled the last two. ani-
mails. ..i..s
