Prince Albert is a Hourishing little
place, situated on the north Saskat-
chewan river, having a population of
about 1900, with good streets and side
walks and churches of nearly every
denomination, three schoolhouses and
another one to be built at once; also a
Brewery and Creamery. Here I stayed
for about four months, working at my
trade of brick-laying, and met with
farmers and ranchers with whom I
made it my special business to talk in
regard to the prospects. ] also visited
several farmers for some distance out
in the country while crops were In full
bloom and may say that never saw
better crops in all my travels than I
saw along the valley towards Stoney
Creek and Carrot River. In the market
red and black, and as fine sample of
roots and vegetables as ever went on a
market. The soil in and around this
district cannot be beaten for anything
you may wish to grow, and besides
the season is long, giving time for
everything to mature. The cattle were
looking as good as I saw anywhere,
good pasture and hay land, and plenty
of water wherever you go. The coun-
try is dotted all around like islands
with timber fit for fuel and building
purposes and within days walk of
lumbering-woods,w where numbering and
tie-making is carried on, in winter.
Both large and small game is plentiful.
There are two good sawmills in this
district, with good supply of all
grades of lumber all the year round
and also two good brickyards with an
excellent quality of brick. There is no
scarcity of building material and at a
reasonable price. Clothing and living
are no higher than 1 find in Michigan,
and furthermore I wish to say that
there is a great demand for laboring
men all the year round and good wages
ranging from SITS to $500 per day, and
from $500 to $500 per month with
board.
wish to say that I am perfectly sat
isfied with the country and intend to
return to Prince Albert early in the
spring of 1900. Any reasonable man
can go there and in from five to ten
years make good and comfortable
home for himself and family, and il
any person into whose hand this letter
| should fall, desires more information.
| please write to me and will freely
| give them my best opinion. I am writ
| ing this for the benefit of those who
may want to make better home fol
| themselves and families or friends.
| Trusting that this statement may be
useful to you in the publication of youl
next pamphlet and be the means Of
guiding at least some of those who are
| in search of a home, I remain,
| Your humble servant,

NEGROES SOON LEAVE.
All Five Hard to Find After the
ARRAY.

ARRAY.
The five negroes in the saloon dis
appeared after the ARRAY, and for a
long time they could not be found nor
their names learned. But in reality
three of them remained around the
scene of the shooting and they denied
that they knew anything about It. All
of them except Corporal James Briggs
said they were in the shooting gallery
when they heard the shots.
But the names of the men were
learned by Sergeant Jackson of Fort
Douglas, who came down town Just as
soon as he had heard of the shooting
He went to the Holy Cross hospital,
where ne gathered all the facts he
could, and then went on TO the fort
where he worked on the case till a late
hour in the night. He telephOned
down that the names of three of the
mel were Corporal Briggs and Pri-
Yates Howard and Brooks The others
had not been learned at the tine ne
went TO bed.
Brooks came on up to the hospital
where the boy was taken" said he,
and ne was so drunk that he speWed
all over the floor IN the main hall. He
made an awful mess, and the sisters
were so Disguised that they would not
let me so up to see thu wounded boy.
| have found out that Howard was
only half drunk and / don't know what
condition Briggs was in"
Twenty minutes after the shooting
Briggs, who remained about the place,
denied that he Wa there in the saloon.
Here is the story that he told:
81 had Just come out Of Hobein' S
saloon with two friends and was walk
ing up the street. We had got as far
as the alleyway which leads through
the building back Of SlOan's drug store
when we saw a man with his bar-end-
er's apron en- rush out O. Links saloon
and commence firing.
There were two negroes standing
near the telegraph pole just north of
the saloon. One was leaning against
the side of the saloon, the north side,
just around a few feet from the door
of the saloon. A citizen was standing
on the curb just west of the saloon
door.
THE bartender fired two shots at the
two men to the north of the saloon
against the telegraph pole Then he
wheeled around and shot at the man
on the west side, or shot down the
street in the direction he was running,
two shots. he wheeled back again and
fired one shot at some soldier running
across the street toward SlOan's drug
store.
Il didn't know what was happening.
It looked as if he was going TO shoot
up the colored population. 1 didn't
want to do any monkeying around, and
I didn't go over until the policemen
came"
Still, Sergeant Jackson is certain
that Corporal Briggs was one of the
men in the place. In addition, CID Mr.
Maddox, the father of the man Under
arrest, described Corporal Briggs ac-
ourately as one of the men who were
IN the saloon.
Why that is the fellow who pulled
