the Minnesota lnassacre:and have them
punished; and thus not only bringtthem
to the punishment they...so richly de-
served, but also to strike terror into any
other Indians who might be inclined to
60 on the war path in the future. -
His plan was beset with difficulties.
The Indians occasionally came:sacross
the line, but they were SO mixed in with
the half-bloods, who to some extent
sympathized with or were afraid of them
that the Indians had no difficulty in
finding out if Major Hatch:sent men out
after them. However, in December Ma
jor Hatch, after several fruitless expe-
ditions, sent out small detachment of
about twenty picked men to get after a
lot of Indians who were camped in the
vicinity of st. Joe. The Indian camp
was surrounded about three o'clock in
the morning and several Indians were
killed and none escaped. A few soldiers
were wounded, but none seriously. s---..1
The news of this affair soon spread
among the remaining Indians in Mani
toba and they were much demoralized.
Meantime the citizens of Fort Garry, the
Hudson Bay officials and the Canadian
authorities were doing what they could
to assist the Americans in getting the
Indians. They even went so far as to
intimate to Major Hatch that if the
American troops by accident or other
wise happened to get across the line in
pursuit of the rascals, that there would
be no notice taken of the affair." Major
Hatch, however, assured them that while
he would do all that he could to capture
the Indians, he would not send his arm
ed forces across the line into foreign ter
ritory. While Major Hatch was thus
particular in official statement, there ap-
pears to be no doubt from subsequent
events that he was not averse to meeting
his Canadian assistants at least half
way.
A very short time after the st. Joe af-
fair, the Indians sent word for council
The council was had, but the Indians
wanted to surrender with the assurance
that none of them should be punished
but Major Hatch would accept only un-
conditional surrender. They would not
: agree to this, but soon afterwards about
two hundred voluntarily gave themselves
up and later other parties came in, until
something like four hundred were made
prisoners. The chiefs, however, still held
back. Finally, in the early part of Janu-

Gus, the snow was foot deep and
III many places piled in enormous

only made the roads worse with

they were compelled to march by

They could only travel from ten to
twenty miles a day. They were
sleeping in tents. To make mat.

Then it was far beyond the widest
dreams Of the most sanguine, to-day it
is fact. We look upon thickly set
tied land, rich in all that civilization
and prosperity can give. The buffalo
has disappeared forever, the Indian is
but miserable remnant. Fort Pembina
and Hatch's Battalion are history, glor-
ious but past. A campaign that began
in st. Cloud in the fall of '63, that in
cluded march through the snow to
Pembina, that built a fort, that killed %
Indians, that captured 4OOs more out
from a foreign country-all during one
of the coolest winters ever known-and
all finished successfully to the extreme

memories of us, who have succeeded

Curious Bread Law.

There is curious provision in the
British bread acts of 1922 and 1886,
which are still in force. to the effect
that every person who shall make
for sale or sell or expose for sale any
bread made wholly or partially of peas
or beans or potatoes or Of any sort Of
corn or grain other than wheat shall
cause all such bread to be marked
with large Roman M" 1t would
thus appear that the baker who chooses
to put potatoes in his bread could
escape the charge of adulteration by
marking the loaf with this letter in the
manner described.

by sagacious and successful scheming,
captured Little Six and Medicine Bot

worst Williams, and brought them to Fort
Pembina. This practically completed
the job. Only one chief of prominence
-Little;Leaf-with his family, and less
than dozen all told, were left in Mani

or disease within the next year.

soldiers had to do was to guard their
prisoners. In February part of the
soldiers with most of the Indians went
southwark to Fort Smelling.
On May LIST the steamer "Internation-
