Returning to his headquarters in Seattle with a believe 1t or not story about how he killed wolf with a rock up in the Gaines Creek District this summer, H. L. Mac Lehman of Glenn Darlington Com pany was a southbound LodeStar passenger today.
 MacLennan, travelling with Ben Gellenbeck of Keystone Lubrica- ton Company and Speed Schnei- der of Isaacson Iron Works, were on road out of Ophir, when they encountered pack of five wolves. The road was cut out of the mountainside, with steep banks be- low and above, and no escape was convenient to the predators.
 With perfectly good bounty money in front of them but no firearms, the trio stopped the car, followed up the wolves to cluster of will lows below the road where tn e wolves sought refuge and before the encounted was over MacLen- nan and Schnieder had killed two of the big animals with rocks.
 They registered the animals at Flat for collection of the bounty and collected their bounty cheeks at Fairbanks.
 MacLellan's trophy has been sent to his son who is going to have a rug in his room-and son has bragged so about dad Wolf Mac Lennan who kills wolves with rocks he's almost afraid to meet the Tneighborhood kids.
 MacLennan has been in Alaska for the last six weeks, flying over most of the Territory for his com- pany.
