Red river was first inhabited by Scotch
aud great many Of the Hudson Bay Com
pany's retired hands. AT the time of the
outbreak between the two companies the
Hudson Bay and the North. West Con,pa-
ny, the settlers had commenced their inn
provements on their lands, given them by
The Earl Of Selkrk; and most ofthem were
taken prisoners, removed from their planta-
tons, and kept in confinement for several
DAYS. Isl
The Northwest Company enlisted in
their employ, 81 band Of savage Indians witt,
a party of French half eeds, commanded
by Mr.. Cuihbert,Grant, now Justice Of the
Peace in Red river; chow he could save
his neck from the halter, is more than can
say, after such bloody transaction.) MIR.
Mcdonald was his instgator, and if reports
are true, commanded him to Kill man, wo-
man and child.
This brutal attack commenced in the last
of May, some 81 or SO years ago, (I ain not
certain which. In the following winter
Mr.. Logan came from Montreal with a
parry of soldiers, some OF whom are now in
Minnesota Territory. Logan took as many
prisoners as possible, and afterwards was
made Governor of Red River Colony, aud

the many slain, was Governor Siuipai, DIR.
Whitley. with seven other British or Hudson
Bay Company officers those that were
wounded were knocked in the head witt,
the butts of the muskets, by their ASSISTANTS.
In fact, il was nothing else but cold blootled
murder from first to last. Among the many
men that joined that North West Company
but few are now living aud as far rs ! eau
learn, most Of them came to an uDliinely
end.
The Scotch who were made prisoners
were sent TO a place across Lake Winnie
peg, called Warren's point, where they
passed The remainder Of the summer; aud
some of them went back to Scotland, while
the others came to Pembina and remained
on the American side Of the line during the
