Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan - Death Notices

Thursday, June 2, 1887 Page 4

 

A letter from Fulton County, Ark., says James Smith and John Howell, who were passing through that couty [sic] last week were attacked by a pack of wolves. Two leaped upon the horse and seized Howell by the neck, wounding him so seriously that he died. Smith was dangerously wounded, but succeeded in escaping to the house of Jack Arnette, closely followed by the wolves. From there they went to a creek near by and attacked James Thompson, one of a fishing party, fatally wounding him and seriously injuring a companion. A party started out to hunt them down and succeeded in killing one, but the others are still in the neighbourhood.

Killed a Babe. A Canadian Bald Eagle's Fatal Attack on a Pappoose.

 
The details of an uncommon and awfully tragic event that occurred last Sunday in the Echo River region, about twenty miles from here, arrived in the city through the medium of a Scandinavian pulpwood worker named Svenson, who came in Monday. From his recital in badly fractured language, it appears that a Chippewa squaw named Quo Quak, one of a camping party of Indians, near the river, had her papoose tied in the usual wooden frame used in transporting children, on their backs. It leaned against a convenient tree, while the dusky mother packed various things and otherwise prepared for a journey. While thus engaged the squaw was aroused by the child's terrified screams. Hastening to it she found a large bird, no doubt an eagle, of which considerable numbers breed in the Canadian mountains near by, attacking the defenseless child with beak, claws and wings.....Their efforts were for naught as the baby died the next day....
