When the St Mirren had been out

chances of safety were considered very

Vigorous Use of an AK Saves
the Life of Miner of
the Turtle River Region

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 5.-Alex-
ander Morrissey, a miner of Turtle
River, near Dauphin, had a thrilling
experience with a pack of wolves while
crossing Round Lake. an arm of Lake
Manitoba. While a considerable dis
tance from shore he was surrounded
and attacked by twelve or fifteen fero-
cious animals, and he says he posses
ses no language capable of describing
the battle.
At the time Morrissey had with him
two hounds and an ak, and had it
not been for these, he says, there is no
doubt at all that he would have been
torn to pieces by the wolves. The
hounds fought hard. and one of them
was killed in the encounter.
Morrissey claims to have done great
execution with his AK, and more than
one wolf died, while others were badly
wounded.
