Some Items of Interest from the
 Steel City

\ GA "a Terribly the Settlers. 4, ~
' News has been received from northern
British Columbia OF serious disaffection
of Indians in the Tatla lake district of
Chilcot. This Is In a country where the
tribesmen have for the past two years
been decidedly restless. owing to the
fact that the country Il but sparsely
policed. The present trouble arose RE-
Gently, the immediate cause being the
erection OF fence by John Franklin at
Tatla lake. The Indians objected, saying
they owned all that country and did not
want white men there. They burned the
fences, drove of the cattle and tried to
scare the white people away. Later they
threatened to kill all the settlers In that
neighborhood. Their animosity was
strongest against Fred Elkins, whose
brother was murdered by the same In
dams two years ago. for which the ring
leader is now serving life sentence. A
fight followed, in which the whites took
refuge In their barricaded cabins until
the Indians smashed them in with axes.
Two Indians were shot. Eight families
then started for Alexis creek, the head
quarters OF the local police. When about
three miles out they were again attacked.
They gave themselves up for lost, but
were saved through the Intervention or
friendly Indian.
