calls persecution
Mr.. Lord declared last night that he had re-
modelled the stable, and moved 1t and done every
thing that within reason and some things that
beyond reason. The stable kept perfect
ly clean, and there odor unless IT came from
the disinfectants used daily He had written. he
said, to the Board of Health, stating what he was
doing and asking if there anything else that
he should do To this communication he says he
received answer. Mr. Lord says there is
law in ne land that will compel him to do more
than he has done.

INDIANS ON HUDSON BAY TELL OF SEEING
MAN DIE AND TWO DEAD BODIES
IN MASS OF WRECKAGE.

Fort Williams Ont. July 10 (SpeciaD.-In-
dams hunting on the east coast of Hudson Bay
and many miles north OF Fort George, in the
early spring bring back to civilization story
that may give to the world the history of the
fate Of Andree and his companions George
Renison, son of former pastor OF st. Johns
Church, returned last Sunday after an absence
of months in which time he was far north
as Moose Factory. the Hudson Bay Company's
post, on the west coast Of James Bay.
Before he came away the last packet from
York Factory brought word that Indians who
were hunting above Fort George, on the east
coast of Hudson Bay. had found vast quantity
of wreckage. the bodies of two men, and man
in the last stage Of the death struggle The In
dams could not understand the language he
spoke but it was not English. He died while
they were there and they returned to their post
without bringing away any evidence of the
strange occurrence.
AS the Indians had never seen a balloon the
nature Of the wreckage judged only from
descriptions given oy them, but Mr.. Renison
says they described accurately the car and
other fixtures, that could belong to nothing
else. The Hudson Bay Company officials are
firmly convinced that it is the Andree party
and have sent out a party guided by the same
Indians to find and bring back evidence to
establish the identity of the party, as the Ind
ians assert that books and papers were lying
around.
Mr.. Renison left Moose Factory on June %
coming by canoe to Nissanabo, thence to this
place Early last fall, persons in the outlying
township around this place assert positively
that a large balloon passed over to the north
ward. The Indians regular visitors to Hud-
son Bay posts In that region. and their story is
credited by the officials of the company.
