EVENTS OF THE DAY.
Indians Hung.


At Battleford, N. W. r, the 9TH, the eight
Indians convicted OF crimes in the late
aRiel rebellion, were hanged. The names of
the Indians were Red Arrow, Miserable
Man, Wandering Spirit, Iron Body, Man
Without Blood, Little Bear, Ikia and
Round-the-Sky, and their crime was in con-
nection with the Frog Lake massacre.
Prior to the execution all made confession
but all remained unmoved and Indifferent,
and some even defiant to the last.
This was especially true of Wandering
Spirit, who declared he was not sorry for
what he had done, and that if he had the op-
portunity he would do it again. When the
time for the execution arrived, the eight
prisoners were marched to the scaffold,
under strong guard of mounted police.
The gallows was formidable affair, made
to accommodate the entire lot at one time.
Ascending the scafYold each one was placed
on their respective trap. While the priests
prayed the Indians chanted the death song
peculiar to their tribe. This chanting
continued even after the white caps
had been adjusted. It was
S:15 when the inspector of police gave the
signal and little half breed who was act
ing as hangman, gave the lever swing,
the bolts shot back, and the eight Indians
were dangling in the air. In the fall the
necks Of several were not broken, but life
was soon choked out of them. They were
allowed to hang half an hour, when they
were cut down and the usual post mortem
examination was made, and the tragedy
was ended, 1t is estimated thou
sand people witnessed the execu-
ton, which was consummated without
hitch or exciting incident Originally II
Indians were expected to be hanged. but
three had been respited for reasons. The
execution gave great satisfaction to the

Embezzled and Skipped.

The Ath, the discovery was made by the
officers of the Second National bank of St..
Paul, that Walter B. Smith, paying teller
of the bank, had embezzled $500 in cash,
and absconded. Smith came to st. Paul
two years ago, bringing with him letters of
high recommendation, including one from
the officers of the Canadian Bank of Com
merce, in which he had been employed. In
st. Paul his conduct was circumspect and
he had ent1e to the best society, in which
can be included membership in the Episco-
pal church. Notwithstanding his theft and
flight seem to have been long premeditated
and planned, no information has yet
been secured as to the direction he took in
his fight, but indications point to Aus
tralia. The bank will lose nothing by the
affair, as his bond was by the American
Guaranty Company of North America.
