APPENDIX D.
List of some of the crimes which have been committed in Saskatchewan without investigation or punishment:
Murder of a man named Whitford near Rocky Mountains.
Murder of George Daniels by George Robertson at White Mud River, Near Victoria.
Murder of French half-breed by his nephew at St. Albert.
Murder of two Lurcee Indians by half-breed close to Edmonton House.
Murderous attack upon a small party of Blackfeet Indians (men, women, and children), made by Crees, near Edmonton, in April, 1870, by which several of the former were killed and wounded. This attack occurred after the safety of these Indians had been purchased from the Crees by the officer of the Hudson Bay Company in charge at Edmonton, and a guard provided for their safe pa.s.sage across the rivers. This guard, composed of French half-breeds from St. Albert opened out to right and left when the attack commenced, and did nothing towards saving the lives of the Blackfeet, who were nearly all killed or wounded. There is now living close to Edmonton a woman who beat out the brain of a little child aged two years on this occasion; also a half-bred man who is the foremost instigator to all these atrocities. Besides these murders and acts of violence robbery is of continual occurrence in the Saskatchewan. The outrages specified above have taken place during the last few years.
The End.
