sounds rather tishy The story APP
pears as special correspondence from
this city and reads:
"a remarkable story has been cir
culating in this vicinity the past few
days which gives a graphic deScrip-
tion OF the perils encountered by
explorers and woodsmen in the wilds
OF northern Minnesota. The story is
told by Vincent De Foe, a Chippewa
Indian, who speaks English, and is
vouchsafed by him as being truthful
in every particular.
Duncan Cameron, a Well-knOwn eX-
plorcr, who has been in the iron dis
tricts of Minnesota for the past
fifteen or twenty years, and who has
had several fortunes within easy
grasp, started during the latter part
OF October with his pack for Bass
wood lake. on the boundary, and
some forty miles northeast OF any
white settlement, to look up some
land for prospective purchasers. He
had, however, taken to much from
his bottle, and when about half way
had laid down and fallen asleep. He
was awakened some time after by a
pack Of yelping and bowling wolves,
which became so annoying that 1T
became necessary for him to get his
Winchester into play. After shoot
ing seven large animals, his ammuni-
tion gave out, and he had to unite his
AK from his pack to defend himself,
as the remaining beasts were just as
persistant as ever.
De Foe, hearing shots, and curious
to know what was up, had made for
the scene through thel woods. Upon
his arrival there, he found the eX,
plorer stretched upon the ground
with Il huge beast dead upon his
breast. The Indian, taking in the
situation at Il glance. pulled the dead
animal off and quickly felt the old
explorers heart. 1t was still beating
but very family. He returned
through the woods, secured a tobog-
gan and pulled the seemingly dead
man TO a claim Shanty a few miles
away. After several hours of hard
work on the Indians part, he sue.
