A Horrible Case of Cannibalism Among
Indians in the Far North.
WINNIPEG, Man, Sept. 19.-Deacon
Reeves, who has labored in the far North
for twenty years, is here and brings a
terrible tale of suffering among the In
dians. Archdeacon Reeves said: "Two
months ago thirty died from starvation.
Last winter a large number died, owing
to failure to procure game. There was a
great scarcity Of food. It was not so
much the general lack of subsistence, but
the rabbits were complete failure. -
Reeves told of a case of canmbalism three
months ago on the Peace river, the only
one heard of, where one woman killed
another. He had seen the woman at Fort
Ver1nillion. She said she killed her sister
in order to procure enough meat to keep
herself alive. Sometimes the fish in the
water failed, and intense suffering re-
suited.

commit suicide by jumping from win

appeared, and evidently descended into

sutfocated by the smoke. The body was
discovered by chimney sweep, who had
been sentfor because the occupants of the
house complained that the draught of the
chimney was defective and they could
not make their fires burn well. The
clothing had been burned up, and the
body was charred and decayed so that it
weighed only forty pounds, though Mrs.
Kenney had in life weight about 1876
