Eskimo Exchange Ends in Double Tragedy at Bathurst
Two Eskimo bands met at Bathurst for barter. Radford and Street joined the northern party and a quarrel with a native led to Radford being killed by a spear and Street killed while aiding him. The returning Eskimos were warned not to speak of the incident. The murder occurred on June 5, 112, and Street’s letter to Ottawa relatives arrived around three weeks later.

It predicts Manitoba’s new territory will attract farmers, requiring large investment but offering quick repayment.
