Vancouver, B. c., March II
Report has been brought here of a
fight on the boundary line on the
Dalton rail between American and
Canadian miners, which resulted in
the death IF four men and the
woundins OF several others
When the alien mining law of
British Colu IL was enforced few
mouths ego, the American miners
left AtiD. the new Canadian gold
district, and struck north. They
found a short distance from the Dal-
ton trail, on the Porcupine river, a
district rich in Placer gold
It was generally conceded that
the new placers were in American
territory, and the miners vowed be
fore stalking claim that Canadian,
be he mounted policeman or private
citizen, should not share in the fnd
Some of the Canadian mounted
policemen, however, did s. axe cain s
in the American territory and it is
charged by moving the Canadian
flag from Mount Pleasant on the
trail SO as to make the extended line
take in rich part of the district
They were speedily followed by at
least 40 Canadian miners, who all
located good claims Subsequently,
the American miners held meeting
and issued notices to all Canadians
to leave the country. So the affair
rested until last night. When the
steamer Lees arrived from the Lynn
Canal with the news of collision.
Carl Summerfelt, who tells the
story, says that he left the Porcupine
River diggings two weeks ago
"Notlce was served on the Cana
dians, Summerfelt says, "that they
must go within FIVE days.
"The sixth day, the American
miners met and proceeded to the
Canadian camp. / didn't believe
they intended bloodshed, although
they were fully armed. I don't know
who fired the first shot, but then
everyone seemed to be shooting.
Several rounds were fired, and four
men, I was told, were killed outright
an American and three Canadians.
"The battle was very brief and
resulted in the Canadians, about so
in number, flying across the border.
The Americans then retired to their
own camp. I was informed that the
following Americans were leaders in
the battle, but cannot say for certain:

of Los Angeles; W. S. Hawes, Min

and tonight their father was arrest
ed for their murder.
The dead are Carl, aged II; Mary,
10; Pearl, s; Charlie, I, and 3-year
old baby boy. Lee.
The facts which caused Moore's
arrest and point conclusivelY to q
most fendish murder, were devel-
oped at the coroner's inquest this
evening. Suspicious were aroused
during the day that called for an
investigation. At the trial it was
shown almost without doubt that
Moore deliberately crushed the
skulls of his children, cut their
throats and then burned the house,
giving the alarm when he believed
it was too late for the bodies to be
recovered. SO that the crime would
be found on. 4 close ezsn4ination
was made OF the children during
the afterGoon.
When the skin was removed from
the skulls and cherred remains OF
