They have Leon engaged in that fio d
for Beveral years. The alarming
news comes to Rev. Father Allard
of Dawson, in a letter brought from
Arctic Red river from Father Jules
| M. Lecuyer, tho Catholic missionary
at that point. The letter was writ
ten January 15, 1915, and was
brought to Daweon by Emile Hebert

Every summer for years Fathers

I the habit of going regularly to
I Fort Norman to get supplies for
I the suiceading winter. This sum- I
| mer they did not make the custom- |
| ary visit to the fort, and this adds 1
: greatly to the suspicions in the
I case that foul play must have been
practiced. Father Lecuyer, in his
letter from Arctic Red river says:
"Fathers Rouviere and I.eroux
were evangelizing tho Eskimos who
were coming every summer to the
shores of Bear lake, situated east
of Foil Norman. The two fathers,
according to reports by Eskimos,
died last winter. But how did they
die? This is what we cannot say,
since we have no precise informa
tion on the subject. Did they die
of hunger? Some are inclined to
believe they did. Othors are iu
iliued to believe they were killed
by the Eskimos. On this subject it
is very probable we shall not have
precise information before next sum.
mer."
Father Lecuyer also makes refer
e ce iu his letter to a report
brought to McPherson and Arctic
Red river to the effect that a big
game hunter had brought out furth
er news on the matter. Emile He
bert and John Stewart, the men
who brought tho letter from Arctic
Red river and McPherson to Dawsop
met there one Charley Christie, a
Hudson Bav employe, who brought
the news down from Fort Norman,
Speaking today in Dawsoji, they
said:
"Charley Christie was sent down
the Mackenzie river late in the sea
son to notify the Hudson's Bay com
pany's agents at Fort McPherson
and other points along the river tha
the *ar had broken out, and that
the fur market was depressed, and
that the company could not afford
to pay the customary prices for
furs. Christie, when at Fort Nor
man, picked up the report regard
ing Fathers Rouviere and Leroux,
iind brought it on down the river.
He landed at McPherson October 28.
"According to the way Christie re
ports hearing the story at Fort
N'orman a big game hunter of
means, who was anxious to kill
murk oxen, went to the vicinity of
Bear lake and there met a band of
Eskimos, comprising twenty men an
eight women, who wero curiously
attired. The men, he said, wore
long white beards, or at least some
of tkfcm did, and two of them were
peculiarly garbed for people In such
a wilderness. One "wore the cassock
or gown of a Catholic priest, and
crucifix, and the other had oil some
of the mass vestments or garments
which would be entirely foreign :o
such people as Eskimos or any
ether tribesmen in such a wilder
ness.
"The hunter, on seeing these Es
kimos in the strange garb, felt he
was in danger. He was with them
or in contact with them a short
time, it seems. He reported they
had guns, and one night when ae
was asleep they had stolen his ani- |
munition. He then left hurriedly
and made his way back to Fort
Norman, and there spread the news.
It is not believed the hunter had j
time to go far up the Mackenzie in I
the fall, and probably is at Fort
Norman or some other station along
the river this winter,
"It is not known what fate be
fell the fathers, but the story that
Eskimos were wearing the roLej
and other articles of priests caus
ed suspicions that the priests had
died and the natives had appropriat
ed the garments, or that the mis
sionaries had been murdered, and I
the Eskimos wont parading about in J
the garments, thinking them of som«
utility or prizing them for purpos
es of display.
"Chrintie is believed to have j
mentioned the name of the big
game hunter who brought out the
report to Fort Norman, but we do
not remember the name. The next
news from Fort Norman should
li:ive reached McPherson by this
time with the Hudson bay winter
mail relay patrol. It was due at
McPherson February 14, and usual
ly is very close to schedule."

Mendo, France, in 18S1, and Tie
came a priest in 1906. Father
