Trouble between the Ine dians and their rival white fisher men had been brewing some time and the fight with Randol and Tingley was the first outbreak The steamer Claxton, MR. MATTHEWS GIVES WARNING. The full text of the letter of complaint and warning from Mr. James Matthews, the retir- ing superintendent of the elec- tric light plant, was long to print in the news columns, but complaint number seven practically sums up the whole of the three closely typewritten pages which comprise the com- munication. It is as follows: “You are liable to have end- too less troubles this winter dur- ing stormy or snowy weather, and had you given me _ the power to get the material that is so urgently wanted and the time and men to do the work, and at the same time curbed your insatiable desire to un- duly interfere with and harass your trained technical official myself), then you would eve this have en entirely safe and satisfactorily instalation. ° The preceding clauses were an effort to put the blame of any trouble discovered at the power plant after his depart- ure on the Council and not upon his “highly trained tech- nieal” head. In clause two he admits that the installation is faulty, but blames the City Council for this in curtailing his estimates. Three nights when danger threatened, he, with Spartan fortitude, stood at his post ail night that the lights might burn, and in clause eight he tells of this and in pathetic language accuses the Council of ungratefulness. Not one alderman remained unmoved while this clause was being read. So vividly was it portrayed that it was an easy matter to imagine the alder- men on those three occasions — EEE enjoying their beauty sleep Wallace Fisheries, while with grim, set jaws and hardened face Mr. Matthews who broke the white men, away | . battled for the safety of the| 4nd an argument started midway | himself.
