 -•!(!. The Petitioner was a trapper and trader, and had uvuhered tof,^.ther 
 
 he various skins mentioned in the elaim made herein. He ha.l traded and 
 
 bouo-ht furs around the surrounding . oun.ry, some irom Turtle Lake, Cold 
 
 Lake Woij Lake, from Chippe,-..o Indians, and horn the l)y Mountains. He 
 
 had thre.( men trappin-r, in addition to him.self. 
 
 {"} The Petitioner had si., rarts and two wa^■^■ons full of furs when he 
 went to the Indian eamp, and the.-ame number when he eame to P.attleford 
 and was arrested. He had about twenty parks of furs altogether. 
 
 ih^ The amount elaiined for the furs is the amount paid for theni, and is a 
 very reasonable sum. .ilso, the priees are not higher than the Petitioner 
 would have ha.l to pay for them at the tim,. of their loss. 
 
 ir) The Petitioner parked his furs as he bou-hl them, and they were near 
 .he store on the night thac the Indians eame, in bal-.s, and the Indians took 
 them along with them. 
 
 (d> The Petitioner kept ..ontrol of his furs, and they were brought into 
 >a tleford ,n the earts ,hey were in and placed by General Middleton in the 
 lohce liarrarks at IJattlelord for protection. 
 
 ('•) On June .'ith, 1S,S5, large quantities of the furs were pa.k.-d u-i and 
 taken away by certain otric^ers and olRrials of the Militia and Police and on 
 Petitioner-s return to Battleford, after release and di.s,diarge fiom iinprison- 
 meni, as above stated, none of the skins were in the Barra.iks, although the 
 Petitioner made iiujuiry therelor. 
 
 (/■; The furs lost had been counted and the paper marked Exhibit "B" put 
 lu before the Royal Commission aforesaid, contains a true and correct inven- 
 tory of the Furs lost by him through the course of events above set out. 
 
 (ir The Petitioner is able to trace small quantities of the furs to certain 
 individuals, but the balance he is unable to a.count for.
