FATE OF ANDREE
KILLED BY NdTIFES.
Balloon Reported Found IN
Northern Canada.
LEV Telegraph to The Tribune

Prince Albert. Saskatchewan, Jan. g.
Bishop Pascal OF the Roman Catholic
Church, announced yesterday that he had
received letters from Father Turquetit. mis-
sionary for the Northern Saskatchewan
and Mckenzie River districts telling OF
the finding of Andree's balloon by Esqui-
rnaus near Reindeer Lake, in the Arctic
Circle, nine hundred miles north of here
Many believe that the large white house
covered with ropes which fell from the
heavens" as described by the natives, IS
the balloon in which Andrea, acconpanled
by DR.. s. 7. Strindberg and Herr eraehck-
ell. sailed to discover the North Pole sonic
twelve years ago. Trappers ana pros
pectors who have spent lifetime III the
Northern wids say that when such storS
is circulated among the Indians there must
be a considerable amount OF truth in IL.
To-day there arrived from the north a
Hudson Bay Company trader fron Fort
Good Hope and he confirmed Bishop Pas
calls information and added many inter-
esting details which are so rentirmatorv
that a party will be sent up 10 bring back
the relic.
According to the stories being told by
the natives around Fort Good Hope, the
balloon was seen drifting from the direct
north Other tribes as we'll as the Esqui-
maus saw it, and II is believed here that
Andree, and net Peary. may have been the
first TO reach the much coveted pole
The trader who arrived to-day says the
Esquimaus have several books which were
found In the basket of the balloon. From
what he heard these are the records kept
by Andree of his trip acress the frozen
n9rth.
According TO the information received
from Father Turauetit, who speaks the E,s-
quimau language, he first learned OF the
landing of the balloon by exhibiting small
revolver while exploring the region near
reindeer Lake. An Esauinaau remarked 90
o companion that the revolver looked like
one they had seen before
Pressed tor details. the natives reluctant
ly told of the falling of o white house''
from the sky. covered with ropes and con
tanning three men, Who afterward died.
The Esquimaus said they were still using
the ropes and balloon material in PADDING
their CANOES and gxins their tents.
Father Turquetlt gathered from the tale
told by the Esquinaus and their great re-
luctance to go into details that Andree and
his comrades might have been killed by
the natives perhaps after having shot some
deer. The Esquirnaus claim the ownership
of all the game in the region.
