AN ARCTIC TRAGEDY
CAPTURE OF PRIESTS ESKIMO
MURDERERs SOON TO BE TRIED
-CULPRlTS WILL BE BROUGHT
TO EDMONTON - POLICE PA
TRoL FINALLY DISCOVERS AND
CAPTURES THE MURDERERS.

The strongest legal case ever tried
in Edmonton, Canada, will be on the
Court docket some time this summer.
According to advices from Ottawa, the
Department Of justice, has definitely
decided TO bring the Eskimos charged
with the murder of Fathers Rouviere
and LerouX, in the far north to Ed
monitor for trial, which will take
place presumably as early in the sea
son as it may be found possible to get
the alleged culprits there. They are
now at Herschell Island, where they
were taken in the fall by Inspector
Lanauze of the Mounted Police, and
through the winter they have been in
mild confinement, on the understand
ing that trial would take place some
time in the spring or early summer.
1t was not known whether that trial
would be held in the north or at some
outside point, but the decision of the
question, and arrangements will be
made in due course for this unusual
and interesting application of British
law and justice.
The story Of the case reaGs like a
bit OF Arctic romance. In the fall of
1913, two priests, Fathers Rouviere
and LerouX, belonging to the Catholic
mission at Fort Norman, went on a
tour of investigation in the region be-
tween the Arctic circle and Corona
ton gulf They did not return within
the time expected, and it was suppos-
ed they had persisted in the wilder
ness. Nearly a year afterwards the
Mounted Police at Great Bear Lake
heard from a band of Indians that
some cassocks and SUPPLIES had been
seen in the possession of the ESkimoS
in the north, and further rumors of
the same kind came in during the next
winter. To verify these rumors, a
patrol of three experienced policemen
went out in May, 1915, in search of
either the priests or their murderers,
since it already looked as if murder
| had been committed. A native inter-
prefer went with them, and the whole
party was in charge of Inspector La
nauZe, one of the youngest but most
! trusted members of the police force.
| In the following winter the patrol
| camped at Dease Bay on the north
| coast of the lake, and in the spring
| Of 1916, they pushed on into}the. cOun-
| try lying Immediately north Of that
| point In May they came upon. band
| of Eskimos that gave them further in
| formation about the priests, who, they
| said. had been killed by two native
tribesmen, at that time little further
| inland. Shortly afterward the man
hunters came upon the men they were
| looking for, and had Titles difficulty
| in getting the story from them They
| confessed to the murder, but could
give no clear explanation Of why they
| committed it. AS near as could be
made out, there had been misunder-
standing between the priests and the
Eskimos, and, in sudden fit of tenn
per, they stabbed and killed the two
missionaries, appropriating some OF
their personal belongings. They gave
no resistance to their captoFsy,t aad
have since been model prisoners.

Medieval and Modern Times: BY
James Harvey Robinson, Phi. d.
Published by CHM and Company.
The author of this work, who is a
professor of history in Columbia Uni
versity, deserves great credit not SO
much for his history of Western
Europe, which many others have
given us, as for the manner in which
he presents the subject. Professor
Robinson takes the reader along as
it were. on a sightseeing tour through
the galleries and the avenues of me-
dieval and modern times. Historical
events, personages and facts, stand
out so boldly that they appear almost
actual. The author uses a style re-
marlzable for its purity and beauty.
With the sure touch of the real
scholar he places his finger upon the
essential points of everything he de-
scribes One feature that is especially
commendable is to be found in the
fact that he presents subjects like the
luCollOll VI
Theses, Lay Investiture Under Greg
DRY the Seventh, and other such mat
tiers, in the clearest possible manner.
The average school history either
slurs over such questions of Catholic
interest or presents them from a pure
ly Protestant standpoint. Being a
scholar of the very highest type and
historian of thorough research,
Professor Robinson lays bare each
subject and the points of each subject
in the Enthusiastically clear light in
which. it was viewed by those who
actually witnessed the matter treated.

Brief Reviews and Notices

Ancient Times: A History of the
Early World. BY James Henry
Breasted, Phi. D.. Published by CHM
" and Company.
Professor Breasted is Chairman of
the department of Oriental Languages.
in the University Of Chicago In his
Ancient Times he has produced a re-
markable work. In the first place, he
brings the reader back far beyond the
dawn Of written history and shows
him mankind as they lived in the
midsts of the most primitive customs.
The details Of social, civil, domestic
and religious life are brought out in
great clearness and vividness. In the
second place, the author gives us the
results Of the very latest discoveries
in the realm Of oriental history and of
E9yptology. Again, one of the most
charming features of the work is to
be found in the Illuminating style
which the author uses. His language
is clear, crisp and forceful, avoiding
carefully the hackneyed forms of ex-
pressionS so commonly found in other
histories, especially those intended for
school use. Professor Breasted pre-
sents his subject in an interesting and
instructive, one may almost say, en-
tertaining manner. One of the fea-
lures of his style is apparent in the
method which he evidently follows of
presenting pen-pictures of the an
clients in modern, readable English.
This interesting manner of present
ment, together with the mass of facts
arrayed and the numerous illustra-
tons and maps, altogether make of
this book the most interesting history
for high school and college use that
We have ever seen.
