Act-3 ing in accordance therewith, he or-g ganized a police squad of about a': dozen hardy, hardened pioneers, in-5 uredto everything. He made a num- I ber of arrests among the tough]? gangs. If there was`anything thea-; tricaleabout that job it is known only * to Mr. Moberly. At any rate hei launched out to preserve order. Takes Prisoners The newly appointed Magistrate; had a lock-up built and as soon as; the lakes froze up inland he started} sixty-mile line east to Biscotasingn - 80 miles east from a point of the` junction .and to White River, also. some distance west on line `under! construction. It took three weeks _to I travel -over this line.` The snow was] deep and as many as one hundred` teams at one time would be met, causing delay in passing. However, towards spring Mr.` Moberly had sev-. eral prisoners long wanted. Two of these were later assigned for a rest at Central` prison. While awaiting " transportation to Toronto in April, the Chief constable informed Mr. M. one fine `morning his birds had own. He had been careful to keep an out- side guard at the lock-up,. but one ` morning when the prisoners break-I fasts were taken to them. the guard `j stepped` in to get warm. With know- ledge of no one outside to shoot,'and ,1 while some of the prisoners were eating, the sentenced pair 'broke`A away through the innerroom. There '1 didn't appear to be collusion, but.!< much depended on that outside 5 guard with the gun. He was inside getting a cup of tea. ` (Continued from page 2) man hadn't been seen. Learning this, Mr. Moberly, of course, turned out the whole party to search for` him. They searched for a week, principal- ly inlandr Between the `camp he started from and Jack Fish Bay there was a long promontory called Vic~ toria cape. The season was getting on `to autumn and_ it was thought if I the man` was lost he probably wouldl sleep during the day when it was warm and move about at night. So one party was sent in a canoe along the shore and told to" call at inter- vals. They did so and when the guides were circling Victoria. capey they heard a faint response to their calls. vThey climbed the bluff and found the man lying on a ledge where he had dropped from a cliifl 0 I and was badlytorn and bruised. Ask- ed why he had gone out of his way, he said he had gone to look for a drink. As Lake Superior was all about him with plenty to drink, it] was easy to imagine he was sick, in- deed. He was sent` toaa hospital. I Oats Spro,ut; Hay is Dust With his survey closed at Schreib- er, Mr. _M. took a contract to corn] struct six miles of rail line east of the I Pic and another mile near White! river. To reach the `latter piece ofi work he had to take supplies for 40 men up` White river by canoe and] make twenty-three portages; also car-- | ry hay and oats. When they got the horse feed in it was discovered that the oats had got wet and dry so often in crossing the portages that it had sprouted through the gunny sacks, making them appear like great green ` porcupines. The hay was worse. It 1 was, baled, of course, and got caked with mud. It had come from Win- nipeg during the -previous winter to Nipigon. "then to the end of steel. thence hauled down on ice to Jack Fish Bay, the company s depot, and` thence taken by sail boat to the! mouth of White river. then via canoe Q and finally over the 23 portages toi , the works. By that time it had cost I, $120 a ton and when the bales-'were _, opened they were like puff balls. Any . ._ of the boys who relished snu could` a have a supply for life. It was abso- ' ~ lutely useless for feed. I Is Made Magistrate I . There were riots at Michipirrnten - late in 1884, d.u1'ving which the Pro-Ai vincial Magistrate was driven out. * Shots were fired through his lodge: and such hostility shown that he] deemed it wise to`depart. There was 5 no harbor and vessels could land only 5 in fine` weather. After the Magis-l trate was forced out a squad ofi police from Toronto arrived to re-l store order. They landed on the! bleak shore and the rioters retired to ` a safe place `a few hundred yards in I E the thicket and watched them overit the rocks.` The police -found them-5 I1 selves powerless in that battlefield of [X kopjes. There had been -rum run- ning to forbidden camps. wild orgies .b1` of various natures and hindrances to !_ work, also a certain defiance o'ered`!t to any action the Magistrate attempt- ed. The Toronto; police squad left; on the next boat.

The detectives dropped their guns on the car seats and stooped down to put leg-irons on the pair. Then occurred another psychological moment. The hunted pair instantly `grabbed the detectives revolvers and :held them up, drove them off the train and got away for good. But they didn't venture to prospect around those diggings again.
