For this reason The Sault Ste Marie Star is entitled to much credit for its wellâ€" placed efforts to disprove the idea that gained considerable currency, to the effect that wolves made a life business of seeking out and devouring human beihgs. The Star has made it reasonably sure that the wolf is a cowardly beast that will face almost anything sooner than a live human being.
