Labrador People Shut OFF From
World by Ice
SEVERE WlNTER.-FEW Fish
SHORT FISHING SEASON LAST
YEAR HAS BEEN FOLLOWED
BY MOST RIGOROUS WINTER
AND 1T is BELIEVED THAT
MANY HAVE Persisted.

North Sydney. N. B., March 15.--
That the rigorous winter just closing
has caused extreme suffering and prob
ably many deaths among the people
in the barren Labrador peninsula who
have been cut off for months by great
ice fields from the possibility of secur-
ing food and clothing is the fear felt
here and In New Foundland.
The last report from the north which
was received last fall said that the
food supplies were almost exhausted
and that hundreds Of natives, mainly
fishermen and their families were on
the verge of starvation. Repeated eff
forts have been made to carry succor
to til starving people, Vessels laden
with supplies of food and clothing have
Jailed repeatedly to pierce the ice
floes which choke the strait of Belle
Isle, a narrow stretch Of water which
separates Labrador from the northern
coast of New Foundland
The present misfortune of the Lab
rador people had their beginning in the
failure of last seasons fishing catch.

Hillsboro, n. D., March 15.-The case
of the state VS.. McLain Cooper will
not be tried at the present term. The
defendant, whose bond was fixed by
Judge Pollock Saturday night, on the
charge of assault with dangerous
weapon with intent to kill, at $4,000,
is now out of Jail, his father having
arrived from the east Sunday night
and obtained the bond Monday morn
ing.
Frank Ross, the victim of his muir
derous attack, still lies in the hospital
here, the lower half of his body para
lyzed, and his chances for life are not
very certainly known. If he RECEIVERS,
he will probably be MANNED for the
balance of his life, as it is believed
that the spinal cord is nearly severed.
While great deal Of sympathy is
expressed for the Cooper family here,
1t is the opinion of those who have
made a thorough investigation of the
facts and circumstances of the shoot
ing, that it was done deliberately and
without any provocation upon the part
of Ross. The rumor first published
that Ross had thrown Cooper over a
fence the morning of the shooting, it
is understood, is wholly without found
alton, and apparently young Cooper
commenced Saturday molning with the
deliberate purpose, II not Of killing the
foreman, at feast OF Wofiding aim.
The outcome of the case Is awaited
with great interest.
