Former Clare Boy Has Thrilling
Experience With Timber Wolves
in Prince Albert National Park
The following excerpts from an
article printed in a Saskatchewan
newspaper tell of a thrilling adventure of Roy Hubel, son of Mrs. Anna
Hubel, brother of Ed. Hubel and a
former Clare boy, which "was brought
to the Sentinel by George Carrier, a
brother-in-law of the boys.
"The winter patrols of a park
warden are often lonely and uneventful, but here is a story from the
pages of a diary of a warden in Prince
_ Albert National Park, Saskatchewan,
describing an exciting few minutes
during which he and his dog team
were mixed up with a pack of timber
wolves.
"During the latter part of November
• I was making one of my usual
patrols. I started soon after daylight,
driving five ppwerful big dogs and
had a six months old pup running
loose. These clogs were part husky
and..part German police and were in
good condition and ready to go, drawing a very light Alaska sleigh without
a break on .it
"When we turned out onto Namekus
Lake I saw. two,animals which looked
,.i .   like.coyotes about half a mile north
»*-;: of me, . Jv_ turned  up  that way and
. ■ ., pretty -ooji.niore. started coming out
until there were' seven of. them; all
grey ones.    They turned out  to bo
timber wolves, and although I have
»"ways heard that wolves never show
any affection, that wasn't so In this
case. When the others came out
onto the lake and met the pair already
there they muzzled - each other and
wagged their tails.
"During this time my dogs were
taking me up that way pretty fast and
they saw the wolves just about the
same time the wolves saw them.
Maybe we didn't go! And the wolves
came just as fast towards us. They
spread out just before we met, two
or three on each side, with the very
large^one directly in front-. The pup
'that was running in front ran right up
to this big one and I believe their
noses touched. I don't suppose my
leader was over thirty yards away
from them at this time. Then this big
wolf made a half circle and joined the
ones that had passed on my left. My
dogs were following him all the time.
When we got pretty close again the
bunch parted, and we went' right
through them. The clogs seemed to
single one out that didn't appear to be
afraid, But just kept fifty, or sixty
yards ahead ot them.   	
"We really passed right-.through the
bunch three times. There 'were wolves

and hidden there, under' a spell of
sleep, the beautiful Princess Ellanore,
daughter of King Gorumpus.

bubbling with humor throughout.

a very interesting and educational one.

of Detroit, Will have a special message, and Past Grand Master, Glenn K.

on the program.

The Clare." lodge, hosts for. the first-
time, and District. Secretary JSrnes.t
Irwin, have been putting forth considerable effort to make this a successful and enjoyable meeting, and it is
boiiig'looked forward to by. the various
lodges. •
Sharon, the "seven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Ryan, of
North McEwan street, swallowed a
nickle.at about 7:30 Tuesday evening
and was rushed to Mercy Hospital,
Bay City, by her mother and brother,
James, in a choking condition.
Physicians at the hospital were unable to recover the nickle but it
passed into her stomach, relieving- the
choking, and she is now at her home
here, no worse off for the experience.
Sharon was first taken to the Clare
Hospital, from where Dr. S. C. Mc-
Arthur made arrangements by telephone to have a specialist awaiting
her arrival at the Bay City hospital,
where special instruments were available for removing the nickle from her
throat.
Troubles never seem to come single
however, because on the way home as
the Ryan car was being driven slowly
along the highway, another car which
was being towed broke loose from the
tow car and crashed into the front of
the Ryan car. Fortunalely no one was
injured.
The National Red Cr&sS drive
enters the home stretch this Week.
Indications are that the American
spirit will go under the wire a wihtter
