Their Own Race.
VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. 21.-[Special. lin
dian Commissioner Vowel has up to this
evening had no information corroboratng
the story of an Indian massacre at Sorrow
island, made public by Stanley Smith, of
Vancouver. Smith, whose reputation for
reliability is good. recently returned from
the north, where he long traded with the
Indians. He says that about two months
ago. shortly after the accounts published
of the drowning of a hunting party Of the
Bella Coolas at Rivers inlet of Otter
island. Bella Coola chief whom he has
long known, came to him and asked him
to write letter from him to q white
friend. This he did, and the passage
quoted from that letter gives the story Of
the massacre as current among the In
dians, many of whom were questioned by
Smith and whose stories all agree. He
instructed him to report the matter to the
Indian agent at Alert bay, and considers
that in so doing he discharged his entire
responsibility in the matter.
Following are quotations from the Bella
Coda chiefs letter referred to:
It is an open secret that the otter hunters
who were said to have been Lost In a storm off
Sea Otter island were all killed by Kis.Katlas.
In the canoe were fourteen men aud three
klootchmen, some of the Rivers Inlets. some OF
the Bella Coolas and some OF the KamsQuts.
They started for Sea Otter island to hunt, but
being overtaken by a storm, landed on Sorrow
island. off Cape Coive-t. near the entrance of
Fitzhugh sound. They had but one tent ana in
this the tyees OF three tribes camped. Three
days after nine canoe loads of Kit-Katlas started
for the same island, and soon there were many
Kit-Kstlas on Sorrow Island, but the
KamsQuits, Rivers Inlets and Bella
Coolas were all dead. Many Kit
Katias will not speak through fear but I
found out much about the killing because they
are not all wicked. They landed on the island
searched for q man, who had insulted Kit
Katlas girl, for three days and there found him
otter hunting. Twenty guns were levsied at
him without . word and he was shot
dead. A friend OF the dead man, who
had picked up gun and threat
ened the kitkitlas, was the next victim. The
killers then, either made mad with what they
had done, or for fear of the rest telling on them
