Death With the Wolves. ! thmrm, March 24‘.‘â€"A party all loggers a few days ago stumbled over a pile of bones on the south side of Lake of the Woods. The bones consisted of > a human skeleton and the skeletons of seven Wolves. A rerolver and seven empty cartridge shells were lying near, and it is supposed that the man was at- tacked by a pack of wolves and had . made a desperate fight for life. An old I explorer named )chanus, who has liv- ed at Rat Portage for years, has been absent. on the lake for a longer time o i . than usual. and it is feared that it isl I he who has fallen a victim to the wolves. The revolver and remnants of clothing, it is said, resemble those worn by Me- Mantis. As I am now putting out my yearly accounts. I must particularly ask my custom- ers to settle the same by the lat of February. I am in ur- gent need of the money to honour my own liabilities. The time is come when all accounts should be settled. - . Crazed by a “ Prophet.’ ’ OAKLAND, Cal, March 21.â€"As the time draws near for the iulfilment of “ crank ” Erickson‘s prophecy of the simultaneous inundation and destruc- tion of'San Francisco, Oakland, Chicago and New York by an earthquake, on April 14, believers here are becoming more and more excited. They are sel- ling real estate at half its value and disposing of other property for a song to second-hand dealers. They will move to the surrounding hills out of harm’s way. There will be an organised hegira under leaders, and daily prayer meetings will be held until the night of the 13th. Yesterday a piccc of proper- ty aescsscd at $10,000 was sold for 86,- 000, and all the furniture in a nine-room house went for 335. One devotee gava away several cords of wood, saying he wouldn't need it. -vâ€" -â€"-o- A Lorne-Fife-Battenberg Alliance. LONDON, March Lilâ€"An amusing story is going the rounds of the clubs to the efftct that a " holy alliance ” has been formed between the Marquis of Lorne, the Duke of Fife, and Prince Henry of Battcnborg, the Queen’s three sons-inlztw, in order to protect them- selves against the snubs of their royal relatives. " But I am also a royal , highncss,” poor little Battcnburg is re- ported to have exclaimed when brood- ing over his wrongs. “Yes, plated,” said Fife and Lorne, who chanced to be present, in a breath. It is said that the alliance was suggested one day last week when the Duke of Fife happened to pay an afternoon call on a certain burlesque actress and found her reading a letter from Lorne. On leaving her residence the duke stumbled over Battenburg coming up the staircase. Yours Respectfully, JOSEPH HEARD. O W.
