Five Indians were con- i victed by Magistrate S. H. Hoskins of obstructing police officers and assaulting Dominion government surveyors and, with the excep- tion of Richard Douse, who was let off on suspended sentence, jail I terms of from one to three months were imposed on Albert Williams, I Peter Wllltama. Samuel Douse and Wal- ter Dsrrlck. It was proven that the accused had entered the camp of a party of surveyors, sent In by the Department of Ind'.an Affalra to aurvay the reserves of the Kitwancool valley, made away with totr.e of their Instruments and warned them to proceed no further with their work. The Incident was reported to the authorities and a detachment of Rcyal Canadian Mounted Pcltoe was sent ln ts investigate.

WHITE .MIX OX TKIAL Three years ago the Indians prevented a party of tourist from penetrating their country, and shortly before that captured A. P. Home, a surveyor, and his assistant, who had been commis sioned - to search tor cedar ln the district. On that occasion they held a trlsl with all the solemnity and many of the customs of the white mail's court. The court was solemnly opened by an elderly chief, who declared the white surveyors to be on trial, "before Ood and man." Tlte i.roorcdl-igs ware terminated by tha singing of the Doxology. Despite the unique character of the affair, however, there was a grim determination and purpc.se evidenced that mad the sur veyors comply with the order that they quit the valley. In 1921 the Kitwancool natives gained considerable notoriety by resisting the government officials who were tent to the valley to take the census.

They had to far succeeded ln keeping the valley for themselves wltiiout acts of actual physical violence, but they make a show of force which, of course, has proved to be sufficient. It was not charged against the six sentries ot their people that the surveyors were actually assaulted, although it Is alleged that one man lifted an axe ln a threatening manner.
