some, if not all, who compose the

The affairs of this company are
now established on such solid basis,
financially backed by their immense

from Father Fourmand, director OF
the St. Laurent Mission of the Sas-
kat chewan river. to Riel's counsel In
this city, is published. The writer
draws a narrowing picture Of the
terrible dcstitution and suffering OF

children are obliged to shelter them
selves In rude huts open to every
wind, and they are almost naked and
without cover at night. They are
without the simplest articles OF
furniture. Their principal food IL
nuts. as the miserable half ration'
with which they are supplied are ex'
haustrd and to crown all their misery
they have been told by the govern
ment agents that there are no more
provisions to give them.
Father Fourmand adds II this Is th'
last word of charity the Canadiar
government has to say its equivaien
10 doath-warrant, not only for ihes'
unfortunate people but for the mis-
sionaries as well, as they have alread;
shared their last bag of flour Wit

threatened each others life. Aaron
followed Taylor aud attacked him
with razor, when the latter drew n
pistol and fired four shots, two of
which took effect in Aaron's body.
Aaron died almost instantly and
Taylor gave bond, for the case seems
