ELY. Nina, Feb. 5.-There have been more
wolves In northern Minnesota this winter than
for years. and all sorts of plans have been suE
gested for getting rid OF them. They have mu.s
tiplled and grown fat on deer and other gariss
and now comes a story indicating that they also
attack human beings. The name OF the victim
was Duncan Cameron. The story was told by
Vincent Dofoc. an Intelligent Chippewa, who
has lust come out OF the woods. and says:
"One day in November j WAS up near Bass
wood Lake. forty miles from a house or a settle
Inent. l heard q lot Of rifle shots. Going TO the
place, I scared off three big gray wolves and
found Cameron lying on the ground almosS
dead with a dead wolf on his back and ten
others scattered around. Six OF them had boon
killed by tho riffs and the rest by axe blorSf
They had torn tine mans breast and face. and
had chewed hts legs Till he. was almost dead
from pain and loss OF blood. ! made n 'oboRgan
and pulled him to my tecpee, where he gained
consciousness and told the story. Tho wolves
had attacked him. and he had shot ill his am
munition gave out; Then he unsl4nG hiS aye.
He finally died. and | buried him alongside the
old Indian graveyard on Basswood Island"
Cameron had been for fifteen years a y9odss
man. This is the fourth recorded death tr~0
wolves In Minnesota this winter.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there
is really no trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has lame back and
weak kidneys, malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure him
self right away by taking Electric
Bitters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as stimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. 1t cures consti-
patton, headache, fainting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural
vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be
convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed.
