Davies, who was foully mumdered on:Monday night, some damaging evidence was submitted against the two Indians sind the squaw who are under arrest charged with the officer's death. The inquest was not completed and will be resumed today and then the Indians will be taken to Cal- gary to await trial at the fall ses- sion of the criminal court. During the course of. the examina- tion it was found that there were blood stains on the clothes of one of the bucks. This, he said, was caused by his nose bleeding. He seem-' ed rather backward in talking about it. The officers also stated that when. they arrested the Indians. they found the Mounted Policeman's gun, belt, chaps and horse in theit pos-, session, while one of them fad the officers purse and money in his pocket.- The officers ventured the suggestion that the blood on the Indian's clothes got there when he was riffing the pockets of the officer after their nefarious deed. The officers when found was lying in a pool of blood.

In the meantime Officer Davies were unable to offer any resistance having secured the Italian's story and before they became aware of the'rode up to the station at Southesk fact they were securely manacled. and then took to the trail at full They were immediately hurried back speed after the Indians, to Bussano where they were locked up. Corporal Johnston of Bassano who was the first notified by the C. P. R. operator at Southesk of the shooting, started with Doctor for Two farmers with a load of grain hurried into the Brandenburg camp, fone mile irom Southesk about 22k with the story of the finding of the oflicer s body, and word was again sent to Corporal Joknston. He was the scene but they lost the trail. He however, secured a little fellow known to the surrounding country by. Kiddie and took him to Bas- sano. He, with the Italian who is at Brooks, will be the principal. wit- nesses against, the Indians. The story the youth told and that of the Itatian who the com- plaitit with Officer Davies and which complaint sent him on his mission of death are very much the same and evidence the fact that the Indians, with their brains reeling with whis- key, were murder bent. They fired three shots at the Ita- lian. It was not theif fault but ri- ther that of their poor markman- ship that prevented murder. The Same with the bor. The Indians gave him a ride in their rig. When he refused to get them whistey they threw him out of the rig and fired just preparing to-leave on the In- dian s trail for the shooting. Now he. was goaded on by the musder of a fellow officer. The remainder of the story of the Indians arrest is soon told, Corpor- al Johnston is expecttd at Brooks who is:being held there as a witness. The feeling at Brooks and the district is high against the Indians and also at Bassano. An effort is also being made to find out where the Indians got their whiskey, which made them as mad men. and-filled their hearts with a lust for murder. A mounted police sergeant arrived in Brooks this morning and is gath- exing evidence. Evidence of the popularity of the ered officer in the village is shown by the fact that this morning a subscription list was opened to two bucks and the squ. x, the latter with her little papoose. They were sleeping, dead drunk, at the Indian reservation between Bassano and at him three times. They kept bis grip of worldly goods. He immedi- ately complained to the operator at Southesk who sent word to Corporal Johnston of Bassano of the Indi purchase flowers but immediately it was closed. The money was fairly hurled at the list over twice as much as was regtired was subscribed and as mnch more refused. Coun cept both. However, it was di that this would not be fair. 250-Acre Site by the Fair Grounds Will Now Take Steps to Giose Deal Also Deal with C. P. R. About the Spur L: ing Co. will Locate There.
