Killed by Natives
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
VANCOUVER, B. c., April 1S.-Mur-
dered by Siwashes in the vicinity Of
Shoal bay is believed to have been the
fate of Walter Taylor, who disappeared
five weeks ago. Residents of the up
coast logging center think that Taylor
was killed by natives in revenge for
little mistakes alleged to have been
made by him in his business dealings
with the Indians.
Early in March Taylor was sent
from Shoal bay to Hemming bay, a
distance of five miles, with a message
from Peter Mcdonald to some men
at the latters logging camp. Taylor
was never seen alive afterward.
