Transcription of Manuscript A When the Sergeant returned and reported the circumstances of the day I arose the best way I could and dressed and sat on a camp chair awaiting the return of Constable Kerr one of the men who had been in camp all day and had gone to the end of track for a bottle of medicine ordered by Dr. Sweat, shortly after I had arisen Mr. Johnston came in to see how I was and to ask if there was anything he could do, and a few minutes later Sergeant Fury returned stating that Constable Kerr on his way back from ______[illegible place name] saw a desperate character, where he would be permitted to be, named Hugh Behan and inciting the strikers to make an attack on the barracks and attempted to single handed to arrest him, had been out powered and forced to leave the ground. After hearing what he had to say, I said it is a pity that he attempted the arrest without sufficient assistance at hand, but having done so we must take Behan at any cost, it will never do to let him or the rest of the gang think that they can play with us. Take what men you require and arrest him. Fury went off at once but after a long interval returned with his jacket torn and other evidences of a struggle about him saying as he entered they took the prisoner from us Sir. I said that is too bad take your revolvers and shot anyone who interferes with the arrest. He started off again and Johnston went to the window and watched the party crossing the bridge which connected our barracks from the town and disappeared around some buildings The men were Seg Fury, Constables Craig, Fane and Walters, and in a few minutes we heard a shot and Johnston said there is one gone to hell Steele. I went to the window and seeing Craig and Walters dragging Behan across the bridge the desperado fighting like a fiend _____ _____[two illegible words crossed out] a woman in scarlet following them with wild shrieks and curses. Fury and Fane _____ [illegible word] ready to stand off the crowd. I became possessed with anger when I saw this called to Johnston to get the riot act and reached out, seized the [section is missing] a group anywhere on this trail I will mow you down, so go off and have sense. We remained on the bridge until they had dispersed, and sent the wounded man, who had been shot through the shoulder, to the care of the C.P.R., where Mr. Ross had him kindly treated.

Transcription of the second paragraph. Now for the unpleasant part of the business. Messrs. Seeley, Service and Co. have written the enclosed letter. I send a copy, and it is plain that they wish to make trouble and it is important that no step be taken without careful consideration of the position. It seems that they think that they should not be accused of delay, and your letter, a copy of which they sent, seems to have given them a loop-hole, and to me it seems that the only equitable defence I have is that they sent back the whole of the manuscript for me to write over again, and gave me no instructions as to what they really wanted, and when I sent the stuff to them in the first instance I did so at their request, and stated that I was not a writer, and it was necessary for them to “trim it up,” and that what I wrote did not seem to suit them.

They can hurt the book, hurt you and hurt me for they have the documents to prove that in the matter of delay I am the only one to blame.

Transcription About the latter end of November a sad circumstance took place in the murder of one of our men by an Indian. Constable Grayburn, a son of Captain Grayburn of the Marine Department at Ottawa was the victim he was one of the horse guard at the herd camp some miles up the valle [sic] and had been sent to get a picket rope and an axe which had been forgotten at a former Camp Ground from which the Guard had recently moved and not returning when expected a search was made and a report sent in to the Fort. A party including those at the herd camp searched until a late hour and patrols circled for trails in the vicinity until they had to wait for daylight. Next morning they were at it again, Colonel Macleod, Sergeants Johnston and Giveen Constables Manseau and others with Potts at last came upon the trail that which had been partly covered with snow. The murdered man spoke the Blackfoot language well although he was a recruit of the previous spring and was a great favourite with the his comrades and the Indians as well, had he had been joined by two Indians who had ridden on each side of his, no doubt in conversation when at last one of the them bolted suddenly and fired a shot through the lad’s back. He had fallen head foremost but at the place where he was shot there would have been no trace of the crime had not Jerry Potts horse kicked up some bloody snow. A further search revealed Grayburn’s hat hanging on a bush and in a ravine and below it the body was found where it had been thrown. A little distance from there his horse had been led into the woods tied to a tree and shot dead.    an attempt was made to track the murderers out on to the prairie, but a chinook wind had melted the snow, and the ground being frozen not a trace was left. Patrols searched every crossing, every hollow where snow might still be found but in vain.  The cause of this outrage was for some time a mystery, no one would believe that the lad, for such he was, had given the slightest cause for revenge. He was kindness and itself and as he had picked up on the language and could talk sign, he was always talking conversing with them and learning as much as he could of their manners, customs, and mode of life. A clue was at last obtained which eventually led to the arrest of the murderer, it was that, a few days previous, a young constable of bad temper and no experience who had taken over from an old hand the cooking for the camp, had on finding some Indians in the cabin, who had been allowed to sit there by his predecessor and smoke their pipes, made a sudden rush for them and pushed them outdoors. One of them on whom he had laid hands turned when he got outside, made the sign of stabbing him in the heart. The wild Indian is too much of a gentleman to permit any hostile laying on of hands and anyone who does it must answer for his temerity. ______ [Illegible word crossed out] any person will do as an object upon which to wreck his vengeance, and no doubt poor Grayburn gave the Indians the first opportunity which he took advantage.
