“Tp al Dal Saga

It fell to Constable Dunlop, former
member of the Hazelton detachment
of the Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice to enact another drama. of the
North last week, Constable Dunlop
is now stationed near Whitehorse.
One night last week radio announced

a 2 murder in the far north.. ‘An In-
io dian had taken. the. live ‘of another
native. Constable. Dunlop was order-
ed on the chase of the murder, over
the deep snow in cold weather. On
Friday night he overtook his man,
who was brought out.to stand trial,
thus concluding. another’ epic of the
force of Mounted: Police’ in the north.

Suspicion Is Cast

Terrace folks are anxious to get]:

word from the coast in hopes that
the current mystery may be cleared
up, The fifteen lodge members who
went to Prince Rupert on Tuesday
arrived home on Friday night.

There was an official party on the
same train—Corporal Foster. of. the
Mounties; Ed. Martin, . game warden;
and Constable A. J. Watkinson of
the Indian police. Another police-
man was on the train—one-of the
C.N.R, _Staff—but he went ‘on.

police forces got off here, and the
Terrace: folks are wondering - if the
fraternal memberg needed a. police
escort, or if the. Prince Rupert folks
had become ‘incensed, at the kidnap-

an eye on what was going on.

Of course; it-may have been just
a coincidence
various duties to perform
they'd met on the train by chance.
