lorth: sit has often been said that there |
vas not an Indian who would harm
feorge MacdOugall-not one, in fact, |
vino would not die for him. His power |
ver the aboriginal tribes is instsnced by |
he fact that he was employed by the |
canadian government to treat with the

'ther mans, the government is indebted |

event. Already the news OF
lis loss has been corrobOrated by tele-
ram received by Hon. Mr.. Laird, the
minister Of the interior. 1t is probable
hat he has teen lost in the storm, and
is possible that his body may never be

D Hon. Mr. Ferrier were two notes from
