The island le stocked with moose, earl- buo, elk and other species of the deer family native to Ailmerica, and with do- mestic and foreign game birds, and it ie efared that there will be a heavy Slaughter before the wolves can be got rid of. An organized hunt for the marauders is now in progress, but a big swamp in the middle of the island makes wolf- hunting difficult. It took thirty men thirty days last mounter to round up and kill the first wolf that entered the pre- serve ,and during the time it was being charred the wolf slaughtered a sere of deer. After this wolf finally had been killed the company stationed gamekeep- ers about the island in an endeavor to keep away the wolves, which cross from the mainland on the.iee.—Marquette cor- respondent of St. Paul Pioneer Press.
