STORY
OF TIMBER WOLVES
KILLING HUNTER

Il. F. Averill. district inspector of
predatory animals. is inclined to dis
count the story from Gold Hill to the
effect that John Hammersley, govern
ment hunter, had been killed and
eaten by a pack OF hungry wolves. He
bases his skepticism upon his knowl-
edge of Hammersley Of the country
and of the nature Of the beasts.
Last evening when he read the ac-
count of the supposed tragedy in the
East Oregonian, Mr. Averill wired to
a friend in Rogue River for informa-
ton. An answer came stating that
there was nothing definite known
there but that a searching party
would go out today.
Hammersley wrote to Mr.. Averill,
under whose supervision he works. Oh
December 80 that he would make a
months trip into the mountains in
search of timber wolves but the point
to which he signified his intention Of
going is is miles from his camp at
Willow Springs near where the bones
were found. Mr. Averill declares
that the timber wolf is most timid
animal and scoffs at the idea of their
attacking an armed man. II Ham
mersley is dead and eaten, Mr.. Averill
thinks he met an accidental death.

Knowing Hammersley to be a season
ed woodsman, Mr. Averill thinks
that he might show up at some post
office tomorrow to mail his monthly
report.
