WHERE SCOTT WAS BURIED.
Man Executed by Louis RieI Sunk in
the Red River. RAA

Man Executed by Louis R1c1 Sunk in
the Red River. s2A
For thirty-four years the question
has been asked in vain, when Thorn
as Scott was shot by order Of Louis
Riel in the Red River rebellion OF
1S69-70, where was the body buried?"
1t has been generally believed that
only Riel knew what disposal was
made of SCOTS body, and that when
Riel was hanged at Regina as the
penalty of melting the rebellion Of
1885 the secret died with him, says
the Toronto Globe. But old-timers
have never accepted such a theory,
believing that others besides Riel knew
the secret if they wanted to tell, and
their surmise turns out correct, for
now after thirty-four years of silence,
one man who witnessed SCOTS eXecu-
ton and the disposal of his remains
has told the tale.
This man, who was one of RieFs of
ficers, is to-day a well-known Manito-
ban, but there are reasons why his
name should not be given. The gen
tIeman to whom he revealed the Sc
cret is Roderlck MacFarlane, formerly
chief factor of the Hudson Bay Com
pany and a citizen of Winnipeg. Mr..
MacFarlane authorizes the use of his
name and Is hopeful that steps may
be taken to establish the authenticity
of the story. When at the grave of
Pierre Deschambault he met among
the people there assembled his inform
ant who was, as already stated, one
of Riel's officers and who had been
with him in old Fort Garry at the
time of SCOTS execution. Mr.. Mac
Farlane, it may be explained, was at
that historic period visiting Chief Fac
tor MacTavish, whose house was with
