Doukhobors in the Grand Forks district, at war with the provincial police, have already won the first skirmish. Twio officers were on Thursday forced to flee before an army of angered, naked Doukhobors, when they sought to arrest three of their numbers at a ranch near here. One hundred of the Sons of Freedom, a sect of fanatics, all naked, stormed, fumed, and with incisive wrath drove the officers from the vicinity, and although the temperature was below the zero mark, the nude Douks danced about in fanatical frenzy, issuing a challenge to the whole police force to arrest one of their number.
