MURDER OX THE ARCTIC
COAST-—POLICE OX TRAIL
The news of the murder of an
Eskimo woman of the so-called
Biondo Eskimos tribe is brought
by Bishop I. 0. Stringer, who his
returned from a trii> to the Arctic
coast. The woman Is supposed to
have been killed by her husband, an
Eskimo o* the same tribe. The
Bishop says:
"I did not hear details of the
murder, but it was reported at
aoints along the Arctic which I
vJsited that the woman had b een
stabbed by her husband, and that
after a time she died of the ef
fects of the wound.
"Corporal Conway of the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police went
east along the Arctic coast as far
ao Cape Bathurst, and hoped to
get 400 mileg farther this winter,
to Coronation Gulf, the scene of
the tragedy. Conway started on
the long trip w-ith H. Girling, the
Anglican missionary of that region.
Conway Intended to bring one wit
ness ag -well as the Eskimo him
self to Hershell .
"The police stationed at Hershell
Island when I left there," says
Bishop Stringer, "were Inspector
Tupper and Constables Corneilus
and Brockey. At Fort McPherson
were Sergeant and Mrs. Clay and
Constables Doak and Cook. Inspected
Tupp6r hoped to come to visit
Dawson this winter or in the spring
on the way to the outside. He has
not been here and was in hopes of
spending a few days here on his
way to th.e Coast. He is a son of
Sir Charles Tupper. He was at
Ba'hurst on a visit this summer.
"It is understood that Inspcetor
Phillips of the police was to es
cort the two Eskimos back to Her
shell Island who were tried at Ed
monton for the murder of the two
Catholic priests. They may get
only as far as Fort McPherson this
winter.'—Dawson News.

PERMANENT IS
Clll PLAN
CITY COUNCIL VOTES *100 TO
BUILD CONCRETE WALL A
ROUND PROPERTY IN ORDER
lO MAKE A PERMANENT RINK
The city council in session last
night instructed the Public Works
aud Property committee, N. O.
Hardy, chairman, to construct a
concrete haso wall around the
corner rroperty used laet year
as a skating rink, the expense to
th<» city to not exceed ?100.
I* was the opinion of the coun
cil the skating rink should be
made permanent as it was very
popular last year and was used by
ill of the Bchool children of the
city and by a great many of the
adults. Thirty loads of sand were
hauled last season with which to
bank up the side, and it had to be
hauled away again this spring.
The city council decided this
mpthod of forming the rink would
be much more expensive in the
Ion? run than the building of a
permanent concrete wall .
The wall is to be made neat
and attractive, and "!>\fill add to the
beauty of the play grounds during
the summer months rather than
detract from them. The general
plan is *o build the wall with a
wide base with a gcr.tlc slant to the
too, nn'l with u flat eur.'cco on the
top running all the way round.
Other business of the evening re
solved itself into routine work
such as the allowing of bills, dif
ferent renorts of standing commit
tees, etc.
