guards at the camps and-also at all ap-
proaches. Mr.. Pinkerton also went TO
Grand Marais to procure medical aid,
but Dr.. Jones could not visit the camp.
The men grew restless under the neees-
sary restraint imposed, and threatened
to break quarantine and scatter all over
the country. There are but q few peo-
pie in Tote, and had they made q break,
they could easily have escaped. The
position was ons very trying TO Super

cal or legal advice available. His deter

q week, but appreciating his inability
to hold ont longer without tragedy he

exigency was to convey the men here
under guard and thus prevent their ex-

and the march across tho country began.

them. They left camp without time
checks and although they were told to
take provisions enough to last they
failed to do it, and for the last twenty
hours they were practically without
food. Pinkerton succeeded in getting
some bread and butter at one stopping
place, and also procuring some feed for
the horses. but they were a hungry and
travel-stained lot when they reached
here. They were not allowed to enter q

most praiseworthy and indicates him the

precautions had been taken. Each was

that every one Of them would have stop
