FRASER
LAKE,
Jan.
8:
Coroner
W.
C.
Pitts
and
a
jury
listened
to
a
sad
recital
at
Fraser
Lake
on
Monday
of
the
tragedy
which
look
the
lives
of
four
little
Indian
boys
on
New
Year's
Day,
as
the
little
ones
were
trying
to
make
their
way
home
from
the
Indian
school
at
Lejac.
The
victims
of
the
tragedy
were
Allan
Willie,
aged
nine,
and
Johnnie
Michael,
Maurice
Jus
tin
and
Andrew
Paul,
each
eight
years
old.
The
statement
of
the
school
authorities
was
that
they
thought
the
four
little
boys
had
left
the
school
In
company
with
some
eld
er
people
who
had
been
visiting
the
school
during
the
day,
and
Jiey
felt
no
uneasiness
on
their
account.
On
the
following
day
.he
school
authorities
sent
a
car
to
return
the
boys
to
the
school.
The
car
made
Its
way
to
Stella
.vlthout
locating
the
boys.
As
the
joys
had
not
reached
telr
homes
a
search
party
was
organized
.vhich
resulted
In
the
finding
of
he
four
bodies
at
the
east
end
)f
Fraser
Lake
about
five
o'clock
on
the
evening
of
Saturday,
January
2.
The
boys
had
evidently
made
i
desperate
fight
to
reach
their
nomcs,
but
had
been
overcome
jvhlle
within
a
quarter
of
a
mile
of
their
destination.
One
of
the
boys
had
given
up
shortly
before
his
companions.
His
body
was
found
several
feet
from
the
others.
The
kittle
chap
had
taken
off
his
coat,
made
a
pillow
out
of
It
and
lay
down
on
the
trail
to
die.
The
verdict
of
the
Jury
was
that
the
death
of
the
four
boys
occurred
at
the.
east
end
of
Fraser
Lake
on
the
night
of
January
1,
due
to
exhaustion
and
consequent
freezing.
The
circumstance
was
held
to
be
unavoidable
In
view
of
the
evidence.
From
this
finding
the
Jur
ors
proceeded
to
state
that
In
their
opinion
more
definite
action
by
the
school
authorities
might
have
been
taken
on
the
night
upon
which
the
occurrence
took
place;
and
that
more
co-operation
between
the
school
authorities
and
the
parents
of
the
children
would
in
future
help
to
lessen
the
danger
of
a
re-pltlon
of
such
an
Incident.
The
Jurors
also
added
a
rider
to
their
verdict:
That
corporal
punishment
If
practised
(In
the
school)
should
bo
limited;
H.ntT'U
-u
better
understanding
would
exist
between
the
pupils
and
disciplinarians
