<p>Crozier, Cotton, and Kennedy were playing tennis in front of the post and when they saw the escape followed the fugitives. I sent the first men who turned out mounted and headed by Constable Hooley they caught up to the Indians about half a mile distant and unheeding their levelled [sic] rifles rode at them and they were soon in their old guard room. Their attempt to escape having failed the two asked to see Crozier at midnight in his quarters, and after the windows had been covered with blankets so that no light could be seen from the outside they gave him the name, description and full particulars of the Indian who had murdered Grayburn. </p>
<p>A despatch was then sent to Colonel Macleod who was in Benton, to the effect that the murderer was lurking in the fastness of the Bear Paw Mountains, and he asked the American authorities in legal form for his arrest but unless he could pay at once five thousand dollars in cash the sheriff would not make the attempt. He was in consequence obliged to wait until the accused would return back into Canada when we might have an opportunity to capture him. This did not present itself until 1887 when Sergeant Patterson of C. division at MacLeod learned that he was in the Blood camp, and under orders from Lt. Col. Jarvis, Superintendent commanding proceeded there accompanied by Jerry Potts and two constables. They arrived at dawn and went to the lodge in which the murderer, Star Child by name, was concealed, the intention being to take him without alarming the camp which it was believed was hostile. The Indian came out at dawn, and fully armed, covered Patterson with his rifle telling him that he would shoot if he moved hand or foot but the Sergeant as a ruse, spoke as if he were addressing someone behind Star Child, causing him to turn his head, whereupon Patterson threw himself upon him and in the struggle the rifle went off, rousing the whole camp, and the Indians turned out in hundreds. In the mean time Patterson had the murderer beneath him, half-choked, and finally handcuffed him while Jerry Potts, Chief Red Crow, Strangling Wolf, One Spot and Constable Wilson, by threats and exhortations kept the remainder at bay. The Sergeant then took Star Child to Macleod at the full speed of his horse, supported by Potts and the Constables and followed by the majority of the band as far as the fort where they were forced to halt and turn back.</p>
<p>Star Child confessed to the murder and there was correlative evidence but in spite of it all the jury disagreed and he was set free, to be arrested for horse stealing a few years later and sent to the penitentiary for five years. There is no doubt that the jurymen who were acquitted were afraid that the conviction would bring on an Indian war, or cause the Bloods to kill their stock out of revenge.</p>

<p>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 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">and</span> was a great favourite with <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">the</span> his comrades and the Indians as well, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">had</span> he had been joined by two Indians who had ridden on each side of his, no doubt in conversation when at last one of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">the</span> 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 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">and</span> 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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">talking</span> conversing with them and learning as much as he could of their manners, customs, and mode of life.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>About the latter end of November one of our men was murdered by an Indian. This young fellow a mere lad, was the son of the late Captain Grayburn of the Marine department Ottawa, and a great favorite. He was one of the men on herd duty under Sergeant Giveen, and had been sent up the valley of the creek to get a picket rope and an axe which had been forgotten at a former camp ground from which the picquet [sic] had been recently moved and not returning when expected a search was made, and no trace of the lad being found a report was sent into the fort from whence a party reinforced by the men at the herd camp searched until a late hour, and patrols circled for trails in the vicinity until darkness compelled them to desist, next morning they were at it again. Colonel Macleod, Sergeants Johnston and Giveen, Constables Manseau and others with Potts at last came on the trail 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 favorite not only with his comrades but with the Indians as well. We learned from the trail that he had been joined by two Indians who had ridden with him between them, no doubt conversing, when one had halted suddenly and fired a shot into the lads back and he had fallen head-foremost, but there would have been no trace of the crime at that place had not Jerry Potts horse kicked up some bloody snow. A further search then revealed Grayburns hat hanging on a bush and in a ravine below it the body was found where it had been thrown by the murderers a short distance from there his horse had been led into the woods tied to a tree and shot dead. From there an attempt was made to track the murderers out on to the prairie, but a chinook wind had sprung up and melted the snow, and the ground being frozen not a trace was left. Patrols and scouts searched every crossing, every hollow where snow might lie, but in vain.</p>
The cause of this outrage was for some time a mystery. No one would believe that the lad had given the least cause for it. He was kindness itself and as he had learnt the language and could talk signs he was often seen conversing with the Indians and learning as much as he could of their manners...

<em>Transcription</em> <br /><br />November 20 1912 <br /><br />Dear Colonel Steele. <br /><br />Regarding your query for the reason of Graburn’s murder, Weasel Moccasin told Jerry that Graburn had been monkeying with a young girl, a daughter of one of his women, but not one of Weasel Moccasins own. Star Child wanted this girl himself and it seems that they had a scrap over her and that Graburn struck Star Child in the face, this happened some time before the murder, and Star Child laid for Graburn to get what he thought was an opportunity. Jerry Potts and I were in the Blood Camp nearly every day during the Spring of 1881 looking for evidence & watching for Star Child to come from across the Line, and he used to tell me as nearly as he could in English what was said. The girl herself acknowledged there had been a fight. <br /><br />I was not present at the whole of the proceedings in Camp, as after the first day, I was kept on the move between the fort and the Blood Reserve bringing in Indians who were wanted. I knew nearly the whole tribe then and could make myself understood fairly well, and Jerry was needed as Interpreter in the Post. <br /><br />I always thought they let him go to prevent trouble, but of course after working on the case I might have thought the evidence was conclusive to the Judge and Jury as it was to my mind and had been prejuged [sic] etc. <br /><br />Yours faithfully, <br /><br />D. Paterson

<em>Transcription</em><br /><br />November 18 1912 <br /><br />Dear Colonel Steele, <br /><br />Your letter of 16th inst to hand, am sorry you could not visit Maple Creek this Fall we are getting anxious about the commencement of the Armory Building & you could have probably given us some encouragement. <br /><br />I also missed you from the Stampede gathering at Calgary we had a great time renewing old aquaintances. You should get a copy of the Veterans Parade photo from Marcel at Calgary, it does not show all who were there but most of them appear. The freshest looking man of the whole bunch was Asst Comm Jst Mc I. and one of the oldest looking was Pete McDonald, but the most of them are looking good for some years yet it is a case of survival of the fittest. <br /><br />Regarding arrest of “Star Child” “Kakatosoinak” Jerry Potts & myself were working on the case for some months on information given by “Weasel Moccasin” Api-itskiw this is the man you mention as having been first arrested in June 1881 we heard from a woman we were familiar with that Star Child had returned & in the Blood Camp reported to may Col H.D Jarvis he sent me with Jerry, Const W. Wilson the redheaded Dentist and _____ [illegible word in parentheses] James Jarvis now Major & Cmd to get here, we left Macleod after midnight for the Blood Reserve and arrived before dawn we had a description of the locality in the Camp where he kept himself and laid close watching the lodge he was supposed to be in, at the final sign of dawn he came out of the lodge, fully armed & got sight of one & got his Winchester Carbine on me at about 10 feet away. Hold me of [sic] I made a move hand or foot he would shoot he held the gun on me for fully half an hour until I distracted his attention by appearing to speak to someone behind him, he turned finally around & I jumped on him and the carbine discharged. This alarmed the whole camp who turned out and surrounded the party. I had Star Child on the ground pretty well choked, then got the handcuffs on him. <br /><br />Red Crow, Strangling Wolf and “One Spot” made the other Indians leave us alone & helped us get Star Child away from the Camp, but about 200 bucks followed us to MacLeod, and in spite of the Chief. <br /><br />He was tried before Judge MacLeod and a jury of six some time after the arrest and acquitted “not sufficient evidence” He practically admitted his guilt a dozen times stated what he killed Graburn for but he got off. Damned Jurors made his sneak [sentence is almost illegible] into the brush when the affair started and next showed up until we were crossing Billy River he always had a yellow streak. <br /><br />Your book will be an interesting publication when completed and I surely must have a copy, for the experiences we all met with in the old days were well worth recording. <br /><br />Any assistance I can give you for recalling circumstances from 75/ on will be cheerfully rendered. <br /><br />Yours sincerely, <br />D. Paterson

<em>Transcription of Manuscript C</em><br /><br />I rushed out calling upon Mr. Johnston to get the Riot Act and come with me. I seized his Winchesters Rifle from the constable on guard at the gaol, and ran to the bridge, and as the crowd was on the point of making a rush on to it, I covered them with rifle and called upon them to halt or I would fire. They answered with curses, and cries of “Look at the --- --- ---, his own death bed makes no difference to him!” but they halted. In the meantime the prisoner was struggling fiercely with the men who had him, but half way across Walters raising his huge fist struck him on the temple and with Craig trailed him by the collar, as insensible as a rag, and as the woman passed screaming “You red coated --- --- ---!” I said “Take her in, too!” and went forward over the bridge to the crowd. <br /><br />Johnston by this time had joined me with the Riot Act which he had to get by kicking the orderly room door open, the key being with Constable Fane who was busy in the riot, and we stood together before the rioters. Johnston opened the book, and I said “Listen to this, and keep your hands off your ‘guns’ or I will shoot the first man of you who makes a hostile movement”. Johnston then read the Riot Act and when he had finished I said “You have taken advantage of the fact that a rebellion has broken out in the North West and that I have only a handful of men, but as desperate diseases require desperate remedies and both and disease and remedy are here, I warn you that if I find more than twelve of you standing together or any large crowd assembled I will open fire upon you, and mow you down! Now disperse at once and behave yourselves!” By this time a considerable number of engineers, responsible merchants and contractors all well armed had assembled at the barracks to back me up. The eight Mounted Police stood at the head of the bridge under Fury with magazines charged, ready to act when needed. Johnston and I remained where we were until the rioters had dispersed then sent the man whom Fury had wounded to the hospital for treatment from the C.P.R. doctors. Mr. Ross was very kind to him.

<em>Transcription of Manuscript B</em> <br /><br />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 shoot anyone who interferes with the arrest” He started off again and Johnstone went to the window and matched the party crossing the bridge, which connected our barracks from the town and disappear around some buildings. The men were Sergt. Fury, Constables, Craig, Fane, and Walters, and in a few minutes we heard a shot and Johnstone said, “There is one gone to hell, Steele” I went to the window and seeing Craig and Walters dragging Behan the accused man across the bride, the desperado fighting like a fiend, a woman in scarlet following them with wild shrieks and curses, Fury and Fane in rear ready to stand off the Crowd. I became possessed with anger, when I saw this, called to Johnstone to get the Riot Act, rushed out, seized the Winchester Rifle from the men on guard at the Gaol, ran to the bridge and as the crowd was on the point of crossing it on to it, called to them to keep off, that I would fire on the first who put his foot on it. Behand was struggling desperately with the men who had him but [‘but’ is handwritten] half way across Walters raising [illegible word crossed out and replaced with ‘raising’] his huge fist struck him in the temple and traile d him by the collar as insensible as a rag. As the woman, passed, I said “In with her too” and went forward to the crowd. Johnstone by this time joined me with the Riot Act, which he had to get by kicking open the Orderly Room door, and we stood together in front of the Strikers who were muttering curses all the while. Johnstone opened the book and I said “Listen to this, and keep your hands off your ‘guns’ or I will shoot the first man of you that makes a hostile movement After the riot act was read, I said , “You have taken advantage of the fact that the Force in [illegible word crossed out] in North West is busy, but as desperate diseases require desperate remedies and both the disease and the remedy are here, if I find more than twelve of you in a group anywhere on this line I shall mow you down, now disperse at once.” 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.

<em>Transcription of Manuscript A</em><br /><br />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. <br /><br />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.
