A Few days ago. party of loygers
stumbled over q pile of bones OH the
south side of the Lake Of the Woods.
that were silent and ghastly record of
the terrible death Of some human being.
The bones consisted ofa human skeleton
aud the skeletons of seyen wolves. A
revolver and seven empty cartridge
shells were lying near the former, and it
is supposed that tile man was attacked
by q pack Of wolves and had made des.
perate fight for life, killing seven of their
number before being overpowered by
the ferocious bsaste. An old explorer
named McManus. WHO has lived at Rat
Portage for yean, has been absent on the
Lake for longer time than usual. and it /!
10 feared that it is lie who has fallen a
victim Of the wolves. An Indian from
Rat Portage Is also missing, and it may
be he who has met such horrible death,
but the revolver and the remnants of
clothing, it is said, resembled those worn
by McManus. The revolver also looks |
like the weapon lis had when last seen. |
