The Wendigo

When the event occurred, Bauman was still a young man, and was
trapping with a partner among the mountains dividing the forks of
Salmon from the head of Wisdom River. Not having had much luck he and
his partner determined to go up into a particularly wild and lonely
pass through which ran a small stream said to contain many Beaver. The
pass had an evil reputation, because the year before a solitary hunter
who had wandered into it was there slain, seemingly by a wild beast,
the half-eaten remains being afterwards found by some mining
prospectors who had passed his camp only the night before.
