The cause for the in- vasion. was to cheek up on the fur buyers before the beaver and rat seal~ son was opened. There was appar- ently ‘a suspicion that one or more of the buyers might have fallen into tem- ptation and bought one or more skins a day or soon too goon from the Indi- ans or ‘others who might have. caught the aninals out-of senson. Armed with search warrants . tha officers visited C. W. Dawson's ware rooms and mede a search which. re- sulted in capturing four beaver and 1 number of rats. These 1 were taken in charge by the officers. “When the hotel was carefully searched. There was no other fur found. Mr. Dawson says the beaver and rats taken were some he had left over from last senson and which he was carrying over wntil the senson should open again. Next the officers went to R. 8.
