A despatch from Fort McMurray, Alta., sayszâ€"Two Eskimos, convicted of murder, were recently sentenced to death by Judge Lucien Dubuc at the Herschel Island detachment station of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the Arctic, according to passengers on the steamer Northland Echo, which arrived here from the North. The Eskimos will be hanged on De- cember 7. The executioner, who went North with the judicial party from Edmonton, remained at Herschel Is- land, but will possibly be brought to the “outside” by dog team via the Yukon and Alaska on the completion of his duties. Another coast native, also accused of murder, was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. years' Imprisonment. Judge Dubuc and' his party are coming down on the steamer Slave River, it was stated. The murders for which the Eskimos were convicted were that of R.C.M.P. Corporal Doak and Otto Binder, Hud~ son Bay trading post factor. Lord Renfrew later proceeded ranch by motor car. TWO ESKIMOS GIVEN CAPITAL SENTENCES simply accepted the defence contention that the young Egyptian millionaire drove his wife to murder by his cruel- ty to her. The case is the first recorded in England in recent times in which a defendant was acquitted of murder after admitting the killing and setting up no plea of self-defence. The jury Consequently, when the foreman an- nounced the verdict the spectators broke into applause so loud and pro- longed that Judge Swift had the court cleared. Cheering throngs greeted Mme. Fahmy as she was led out to her car, and the police' had a hard time clearing a path through the en thusiastic crowd. r “I think your English justice is too wonderful for words,” she said later, when she was holding a reception at the hotel. But when she was led into the dock to hear the verdict she was in a state of collapse and had' to be supported by two attendants. Her demeanor led many spectators to expect a verdict of guilty, especially as Mrs. Mary Ausâ€" ten, a woman juror, was sobbing con-i vulsively as the jury canie in.

First Snowstorin of Year in Portage District A despatch from Winnipeg says:â€" The annual movement of grain from the prairies to the head of the lakes is Well under way, but the heavier pro- ; ducing sections have hardly commenc- ed wheat shipments yet. Total inspecâ€" } tions of grain from the opening of the icrop year, Sept. 1, were 4,402 cars, as 1against 9,954 cars at the same date last year. Of the total 2,072»cars came via Canadian National and 2,330 by the Canadian Pacific Railway. Load- ings were considerably lower to date that at the same period of 1922, and it will be some time before the peak of the movement is reached. In Ed- monton district, from which it has been estimated there will be a total; wheat tonnage in the neighborhood of half a million bushels, the harvesting”. of grain was delayed by unfavorable weather, so that only some 11,000 ' bushels have been loaded.

A dozen ocean liners are due to sail from the Clyde in the two weeks, car- rying over 10,000 passengers, nearly all of the emigrant class. Canada will receive the majority of the emigrants, but a large proportion will go to the United States. Apples will now be carried in ordi- nary stowage at a rate of 90 cents per barrel and 30 cents per box as com< pared with a former charge of $1.25 and 45 cents respectively.

He was hos-t to the Prince on his previous visit west, and his genuine western democracy and sincerity are a. delight to his new Royal neighbor. OCEAN FREIGHT RATE ON APPLES REDUCED “Morning Star is proud to greet his brothers.” Those who overheard the conversation applauded heartily and no one was more pleased than the In- dians themselves. For the first time since his arrival in Canada, the Baron walked from the depot platform to the main street of the town unaccompanied by either secret service men or policemen. Lord Renfrew, apparently non< plussed for a moment for the correct way to return greetings, hesitated, then gravely proffered his hand and said: The Welcome Visitor Mingle: With His Neighbors in His Western Home. Cowboys, ranchers and townspeople of the High River district accorded Lord Renfrew a royal welcome when the special train pulled into the depot. Mounting the cabin of the engine of his special train at Ingolf. Ont, about 130 miles east of Winnipeg, on Saturday, Lord Renfrew temporarily relieved the fireman of his seat and rode in the locomotive for about 25 miles before rejoining his party in the coaches. “They are my neighbors; Why should they not greet me?” said the rancher to his secretary, and the po- lice officers were compelled to watch the proceedings of welcoming the own- er of ER ranch from the window of ‘their private car. As Lord Renfrew reached the street, David Bearpaw and Red Cloud, minor Chiefs of the Stony Indians from the Morley Reservation, were waiting to greet him. When he drew abreast of them Bearpaw stood erect, and in per- fect English said, “Greetings, Chief Morning Starâ€"your brothers of thl High River, Alta., Sept. 16.â€"The special train bearing Lord Renfrew and his party arrived here at 6 o’clock this evening.
