C., June 21 Never in man hunt been carried on determination and under a combina- tion of more aggravating circum- stances than that which has proceed- ec for the past six weeks or more against Moses Paul and Paul Spint- Jam, the Indians who murdered Con- stable Kindnes near Clinton on the third day of last month. The country in which these out- lawa are ranging is a big country. When we figure in tens of miles, the residents of that country figure in hundreds, It is nothing there for a cowboy, or for that matter the most ordinary citizen of the scattered vil- the histor Britis e history of British Columbia has 8/1, supposed to be particularly triend- day and dance all night.

And were it possible to draw a cordon of officers around such a section, with officers titty-feet-apart, nobody-could) tell to a certainty that the intended human prey would be confined within its limits. For six weeks Chief Fernie of Kamloops has been on the trail of these desperadoes. With him he has eight of the best trackers on th continent of America, rs Indians, Often short of food, always keyed up to the highest Aegree of ex- pectancy, and most of the time con- testing with that curse of the north, the mosquito, th y have stuck to the. trail like leeches to the legs of Missouri swimmer.

But the trackers have found time after time that if there had been fewer men they could have Deen wiped out by the out-laws with- out a shot being fired in exchange. very time these young Indians camp they make a circle of about eight the day within 200 miles, stopping tae of Seen a Gacks When Tey One of the peculiar circumstances trackers come along they are observ- ed from safe quarters, and the quarry know that they have) either a chance of annihilating their pursu- ers or having an eight mile start for their next get-away. Th fleeing Indians take advantage of every natural condition presenting itself, They walk logs, wade streams and follow rock reefs. But the smal- Jest pebble overturned has its lesson for the trackers, and they can tell by feeling a log whether a man has walked, moceasin-shod upon it, even if the eye can detect no change In its appearance, But while they are hunt- jng for signs, taking at times an hour to traverse a mile, the outlaws ate travelling at a pace which nothing can overtake. It is, in fact, not the opinion of the trackers that they will overtake their prey but they hope that by their persistence in harsying them and keeping them on the move, that they will be successful in running them into the arms of some of the officers who are watching all strate- gic points within 100 miles of the spot where the chase first started. Thelr Trained Pursuers. Occupied in this chase are some of the most desperate men in the world, men who Will stop at nothing, and to whom the sense of danger has jong-ago become obsessed.

One of the peculiar situations which has develop- ed is the comradeship of a Kentucky elp represent , Would take time except that his natural vicious- ready Gost the government of the province the price of duke's ransom, seem at the present time to have the best of the argument. Your correspondent was talking a few days ago to Jim Gable, chlef of the Clinton Indians, In answer to the query of where 1s Spintlam, the chief replied: 7 guess he 1s right up on that bill, looking at us with his spy glasses and policemen starting Now You Understand.

The Canoe Creek Indians are very much incensed at the authorities on account of their being kept cooped up on the reservation to the detriment-oF their crops and stock. Among them are many relatives of the outlaws, and their attitude toward the latter ly. A Clinton halfbreed has stated that were these Indians released they would, out of gratitude, give informa: tion which would result in the capture actually effect the capture themselves, Controverting this assertion is the statement of one of the best officers: In the province to the effect that the only way to get the outlaws Is to grab all the Indians in the district and keep them cooped upr Moses Paul, or Cockle as he is more generally called by his acquain- tances on account of a defective eye, 1s not supposed to be a particularly rm F with the murder, last September, of William White, and was held in the Clinton jail awaiting preliminary hearing at the time he was released through the medium of a squaw and a smuggled monkey wrench. When Paul got away he was joined by Spintlam, with a plentiful supply of ammunition, and it is supposed that the two killed the Chinaman, Wye, who was the principle witness against Paul, Spintlam had no rea- son to be an outlaw at the present ness and his friendship for Paul led him to adopt -a life of crime. Both have been good workers on the var- jous ranches where they were em- ployed, and prior to the killing of White n Thad a bad reputation as the reputations of some Indians Bo. The Triple Murder. White was Killed by being hit on the head with rocks. His body was concealed under a leaning cottonwood e-six-miles-south. of Clinton. He had been on a spree, in which In- iang and halfbreeds participated, and his murder Is directly attributed to whiskey. The murder of the Chi- naman was premeditated. Wye was alled to the door of his cabin, near the spot where White's body was found, and struck down with an axe. The murder of Constable Kindnes, on May 3, resulted through his zeal- ousness in trying to capture the In dians. Tie was shot frem ambush about tive of hig deputies, Forrest Loring, being at the same time wounded in the arm. Loring fiv aseveral times at the on- ty Indian in sight, with his revolver, and Deputy Ritchie, the Clinton black- smith, also James Boyd, a rancher of the district, both got in running shots with their rifles. of the affair is the fact that from the place where Kindnes was killed until Canoe Creek was reached, the tracks of only one man was found. This led to the belief for a time that one of the Indians: had either: been Killed by the posse and his body hid- den: by bis partner, or that one Indian had killed the other, But a halfbreed Tiving at Clinton is authority for the assertion that one Indian was shot through the shoulder, and his partner carried him until a horse could be se- cured. Whatever may be the outcome of the present hunt, it is the general opinion in the Clinton district that he Indians will not be captured by present methods, When snow falls they can more easily be tracked, and they may then be brought in. But there is always the element of chance to be considered, and whether these young bucks can continue to out- wit the large number of seasoned men who are on their trail, only the day and the hovr can determine.
