Louis Beauvais, brother OF Sred Beau
vais, the Indian guide of the ST. Mau-
rice Fish and Game Club. who is
named As correspondent In the Still
man divorce suit, today emerged
from the stoicai reserve that charao-
terized his race to tell the history OF
his brothers association with Mrs.
Stillman. This association. he said.
was entirely on . business footing
throughout the three years 1t lasted.
He said:
'Tn 1917 Mrs. Stfllman had q ref
erence from Mr.. Horne, of New
York. to ]. r. Innes.. the secretary Of
the St Maurice Fish and Game Club.
who lives in Montreal, as she wanted
to do some exploring in that locality
with view to establishing a camp.
"She wanted a man who would act
as guide and also do some tutoring
for her children. teaching them wood
craft. how to handle a canoe, fishing
hunting and similar things Mr.. Innis
recommended my brother. Fred Mrs.
Stillman went to the fish and game
club and waited there for f1ve days, as
my brother was out with q hunting
party
"she came with her daughter. who
Is about fifteen. and her son. who
was thirteen then.
"Ali this story about my brother
crawling into her camp tired and
hungry and worn out is all imagina-
tion. Mrs. Stillman did not have a
camp at Three Rivers that year. She
stayed at the fish. and game club all
the time.
WENT TO NEW YORK.
when Mrs. stillman returned to
New York. Fred stayed on at the
club and built a camp for her at Lake
Duchesne, employing two other men
for that purpose. 1t was completed
in November. and when Mrs Stillman
came back she brought her son,
daughter and a young man named
Phelps Clawson, a friend of young
Stillman. They stayed until some
time in December, after Christmas.
When they went back to New York
Fred went with them to their country
place at Pleasantville and there con-
tinued his tutoring in woodcraft to
the family.
"In the Juno OF the following year
he came back with Bud Stillman and
stayed at Grand Anse on the St
Maurice River, which Is about forty
miles from La Tuque and forty-five
miles from Grand Mere. This Is the
farm that Mrs. Stillman had leased
previously and of which I was the
| foreman.
MRS. stillman came up later and
bought a farm from Joe Blackburn
in the same district She had a big
| house built there, which was nm
ished September last Six miles
from the farm at Lake Dawson she
had another camp. When Mrs
Stillman left for New York Fred
stayed on at Grand Anse for two
or three months ana then went to
New York and worked for the Aber.
crombie & Fitch Company in their
sporting goods warehouse. From
there he came to Montreal and went
/ in the insurance business.
FATHER NOT DIsGRACED.
| "Stories published about my father
sitting. in his log cabin thinking all
day long of the disgrace that Is
| brought on the family and the race
| Is nonsense. My father is the man
ager of the st. Maurice Fish & Cana
Club, and has been there for fourteen
years.
photographs that have been pub
lished supposed to be my brother
are not of him at all. He is not over
six feet high at all. and his eyes
are the same color as mine, a greeny
brown"
