Trouble Caused by an Attempt to
Put Down the ''Potlach" Custom.

/ DOWu ZIG
Victoria, B. c., Jan. 11.-Edward
Wilson of Cape Nudge, on the north
ern coast of this province, arrived in
the city last night to seek help of the
Indian department to avoid a threat
ened uprising of the natives. The
trouble is caused by the determination
of the government to put down the
disgusting custom of 'pOtlacheS.' "
These potlach gatherings of the In
dams are held in winter after their
return from sealing and fishing and
are relics of old barbarian rites that
the authorities had not interfered with
until strongly urged to do SO by the
missionaries.
At these feasts the young braves
torture themselves in various ways,
and one feature is the tearing up of
live dog with their teeth and devouring
the reeking flesh.
The Cape Nudge Indians refused to
desist and Chief Moon recently issued
invitations for a big potlach Con-
stable MonsoE, of Ccrtez island, last
Tuesday arrested Chief Moon and his
son, and the tribeSmen, wildly excited,
flocked down to the landing place as
the prisoners were being taken away,
and rescued the chief, the constable,
with the assistance of some determined
white men managing to hustle the son
The Indians. furious at this interfer-
ence with their orgies, called a gather
ing of the tribe and medicine men, and
though some older heads counseled
peace, the younger bloOds have spread
the news abroad among the coast
tribes and they are fiocking TO Cape
Nudge armed. determined to hold
potlach in spite of everything.
While settlers on the coast near that
part are few, and grave fears are en-
tertained that, once maddened by
whisky, which is smuggled into them
in spite of the efforts to stamp out
the traffic, the Indians will break loose
from all control and a massacre of the
whites result.
All warships are at present away
from Victoria, but there is a company
of regulars at the fort and enough
militia here and in Vancouver to send
to the scene if the situation keeps as
threatening as at present. The flag
ship Imperieuse is toward the north
of Vancouver island now and can be
summoned in short order. However,
the provincial police force, under Super
intendent Hussey, is very efficient and
it is likely that a number of them well
armed will be sent to Cape Nudge as
a first precautiOn before the troops are
called out.

a warrant was yesterday issued by
Judge Norrell for the arrest of eX-
Road superintendent George Kilgore
on a charge of embezzlement, and his
bond was fixed at $1,000.
Kilgore was indicted by the grand
jury on November last on charge
of embezzling SOS, money of j. H.
Upton. on December 81, 1894, it ap-
pearing to the grand jury that Kill
gore, in his capacity of road super
visor on the state road paving, drew
$63 from the county treasurer TO pay
Upton, an employee working on the
road, but instead of paying it over
he appropriated it to his own use.
A warrant was issued when the in
dictment was returned, but Kllgore
had gone, and the sheriff was unable
to find him, and so reported on De-
cember 16. Now a new warrant has
been issued and placed in the hands
of Sheriff Lewis to see what he can
do towards finding the accused.
Kilgore is also under indictment for
perjury, but was released on bonds,
but the perjury charge has never been
pressed. 1t was alleged that he made
false affidavits before the county court
in reference to pay rolls presented
md allowed for work done on the
state road paving.
kilgore was one of the first to be
arrested in May, 1895, in the crusade
against boodlers started by eX-County
Attorney Whittemore.
