tails have reached here of the story of can

out for their winter hunt around the river

the party was II man named Jacks and his
daughter, aged 10. The hunt proved q
failure, the party FASTENED to return as
quickly rs possible, and after enduring
hardships and starvation it's members
finally reached a point in the wilderness
some 90 miles distant from their homes.
Weak and famished, without morsel to
eat, they were in n desperate condition.
The father of the girl resolved to sacri-
flee her to preserve his own life, and one
morning when his companions were nearly
frozen with the cold he killed the daughter
and appeased his hunger. Horror stricken,
his companions fled, refusing to take the
miserable man with them, and at last
accounts he had not yet made his appear
ance in the settlements, and the proba-
bility is that if he has survived he is keep
Ing away on account of his crime. The
others finally succeeded in getting back to
their homes, more dead than alive, and
later the terrible story was related to the
