The report that James oliver Cur
wood, the author OF "The Wolf Hunt
crs' and 1.-THE Courage Of Captain
Plum was killed by Indians in the
Hudson Bay country proves, as Mark
Twain would say, greatly cXaggcr-
atcd' The report emanated from
Winnipeg whence Mr.. Curwood. who
is a mighty hunter had struck into the
wllds. Il was sent IN an Associated
Press dispatch all over the country
Obituary notices Of the usual lauda-
tory character appeared IN the literary
periodicals For two weeks nothing
more was heard about the missing
man.
Then. all or a sudden. Mr.. Curwood
himself appeared IN Winnipeg 10 deny
the rumor. and 20 find himself involved
in no end Of personal and business
trouble by reason Of fits circulation
The story seems 10 have originated
I'm "a trihing difficulty into which the
author and his two Indian guides
stumbled when they were penetrating
the Lac Ia Ronge country north OF
lie Las.
They were in camp along a river
when four Indians OF village into
whose domain they We're entering. came
along In a canoe. Some alteration
soon ensued, which Mr. Curwood did
not understand There was nothing
melodramatic about the incident No
knives were used, mo- guns. 1t was just
rough and-tumble fight, in which
one Of the guides was completely
knocked out by blow on the head
with a stone. When the Indians OF
the village heard Of the trouble. they
were grieved. They felt responsible
for Mr.. Curwoods predicameut with
but one guide In travelling condition,
and they gave him two OF their own
people iu place Of the disabled man.
Doubtless the story OF that little |
trouble spread abroad slowly and was |
enlarged upon by trappers and 9th |
ers, finally reaching Winnipeg iu a /
garbled state. Tho novelist heard /
nothing about u untn hi- return trip
