ing experience with wolves lew mile,
from iron River on recent Sunday
evening. Ileider had been out hunting
for deer, presumably, and his gun was
charged with buckshot. While scram-
bling through some bushes one barrel of
the gun was discharged and volley OF
shot entered his left arm and right
thigh. At the time Of the accident 1t
was very fortunate Tor him that he was
near some houses Of other homesteaders
After the discharge of the gun he lay
unconscious on the ground for three
quarters of an hour, and after gaining
consciousness his cries attracted the
homesteaders, and they reached him Just
in time to save him from "A most fright
full death. The wolves, which at this
season Of the year are very vicious, had
gathered about him in large numbers,
and they were mailing preparations for
great feast Heider was taken to Iron
River, where medical attendance was
given him.
A PIONEER tragedy was brought to
light after many years by hunting
party in the hills few miles south of
4 Payette, Idaho, few days ago. On a
steep hillside. a hundred yards or so
above spring, the party found, partly
hidden by drfted sand, three human
skulls and other parts Of the skeletons of
two white men and a white woman. The
skulls were face downward, and the po-
sition of the other bones indicated that
the persons to whom they had belonged
had fallen forward in death while as
cending the hill from the spring. They
had evidently been attacked by Indians
while camped at the spring and massa
cred as they tried to escape by running
up the steep hillside. 1t is not many

dangerous region for white people 10
