While it is not probable that the
hunters will be in danger of an attack
by the wolves, it is not impossible,
since the animals have a cunning hab-
it of TRACKING or trayeIiagHxaet4y

so that at times one wolf sstraek may
NEAR several scores of h~alf-starved
and ferocious animals. If a sportsman
should become widely separated from
his companions IN following the track
of what he supposed to be n wolf,
to come unexpectedly upon an entire
pack, there might be trouble ia that
vicinity. To obviate the possibility
of sucn a possible tragedy the sports
men will be warned to keep close to
their guides.
The outfit of clothing to be worn
by the hunters is exactly the same
a. that worn by the Eskimo OF the
frozen Northland. It's ability to pro-
tect the wearers from the fierce cold
may be judged from the act that the
f-ooteoverings consist OF five pairs Of
heavy wooden socks, heavy felt boots
and buckskin moccasins.
The success of the expedition de-
Ponds to a considerable extent upon
tie snowfall, which. until bou three
weeks ago had been exceptionally
light. Since that time there have been
several severe slow storms. Should
these conditions continue there is ev-
cry reason to believe that there viii

of Canadian wolves within the next
few days. Reports received here from,
DeSbarats state thai a large pack OF
several hundred wolves is now known
to be in the vicinity of the lake selec-
ted for the hunt. The animals are
now feeding on the deer and moose
and it is largely for the protection of
these creatures that the hunt has been
inaugurated. That it will be success
full is the hope of every Ontario sports
man.

WoLF HUNTING IN THE


Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 9--At the little
town of Desbarats, in b northern
part of Ontario, hundreds of sports
men are gathering today for a great
expedition against the fierce wolves
of the. Eanadian wilderness. From
that village, which has been appointed
as the rendezvous, the hunters Will
be conveyed on s1eighs on the lumber
roads as far Is these are available,
when NOV. shoes will be resorted to
and a-camp established on the banks
of some large lake in the Ontario
wilds. This lake will be surrounded
and the wolves driven toward it,
where they can be easily seen and
shot by the hunters. With a large fall
of snow, which is likely at this time
of the year, the wolves can be overtak
en- on snow shoes, as the creatures
sink in the soft snow and are not very
strong and active owing to their half
famished condition Desperate from
hunger, the animals are now said to
be especially fierce, and it is probable
that the hunters will have many eXcit-
ing experiences. No hounds will be
used on the expedition. Large tents
with tov have been provided and
will be the home of the hunters for
many weeks.

railway, one of the best known sports
men of the province. Mr.. Armstrong
has been assisted by some of the best
hunters and guides in all Canada and
the hunt promises to be a bowling
success, for the hunters if not for the
wolves.
The plans made by DR.. Armstrong
provide for the great slaughter to take
place in the vicinity of Island Lake,
north of Desbarats. Each sportsman
will be armed with a repeating rifle
and will be accompanied by a Cana
dian guide with a shotgun. Many men
will also be stationed on the islands
of the lake and as the circle closes
in it is expected that many wolves
will be driven on the ice, to be shot
down by the waiting sportsmen. The
guides who will accompany the party,
one for each sportsman, will be the
best to be found in the entire Cana
dian wilderness and will be in charge
of George Lilklater, for many years
the river chief of the Hudson Bay
company, and will be assisted by Geo.

who accompanied the Inflated Hub

IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN
M mmlAEnny FACE ~


Cripple Creek, Col, Feb. 9-EMuch
curiosity las been aroused here by
the statement of officials of he Mine
Owners Association that important
evidence in the Moyer-Haywood case,
in the shape of damaging documents.
has been destroyed by a fire which
Quilted the contents of a f%ireproof safe
in the office of the Association at the
National Hotel. The interior of the
safe suddenly became S5laze. accord
ing to the statement of Secretary Au-
gust Arnold, and he was unable to
work the combination. Firemen were
called, but could do nothing toward
extinguishing the blaze, which burned
itself out within the steel walls of
the safe. 1t is said that evera kinds
of acids were stored in the safe and
probably cause the fire. Their is
suspicion ia some quarters that the
fire might have been caused by per-
sons DESTROYS of destroying the alieg-
ed evidence against Meyer and Hay
wood although his unlikely owing to
the fact that none but the officials of
the Mine Owners association had ac-
cess to the safe.
Other decide that the mine owners
intend to drop prosecution of the Ia
Dor leaders. after keeping them in
jail as long as possible, and that he
alleged burning of ficticious evidence
will be used as a pretext. They as
sert that this theory is borne out by
the fact that statements have been
given out that Harry Orchard, the
chief witness against Meyer and Hay
wood is now insane.
The officials of the Mine Owner
Association have made no statement
regarding the nature of the documents
destroyed, nor as to why they were
in their custody. 1t is that
the evidence was highly important
and necessary to secure the conviction
of the labor leaders now being held
on a murder charge.
