Free Press publishes the {flowing story: THINK LOUIS RIEL LIVES A STRANGE WEIRD TALE FROM THE NORTH-WEST. \V. J. \Vh'ite, who recently made a tour of the North-west. provinces as a. representative of the Interior Depart- ment of the Canadian Government, tells an interesting story concerning Louis Riel. the leader of the rebellion, that. made such a serious disturbance in the North-west some years ago, and for which he was banged by the British Government as a traitor. Riel. it may be remembered, was executed on a scaffold at the Government barracks, Regina, NJVXI‘. Just before the drOp fell the condemned man, who was a. religimm fanatic, declared in a solemn voice, plainly heard by all who wit~ messed the exec-union: "In three days, brethren, Ishalf‘l rise again.” After the hanging the body was temporarily buried near Regina, but, through the intervention of Arch- bishop T'ache, permission was grantee to have the remains removed to Sf. Boniface cemetery, near Winnipeg. where Riel had eXpressed a preference to be buried. The reason he was not first interred there was a fear on the part of the Government that such ac- tion would start a popular uprising, as Riel was considered to have died a martyr by the vast French and half- breed population oft-he territory, and it was believed that a public funeral wombl mean a. demonstration with vio- lence and possibly bloodshed. So it was _"Vâ€"â€"â€" v." xâ€"VW_â€" agreed between “the Government and the archbishop to bury the hody}ezm~ porarily at Regina. and remove 1L se- cretly afxer the excitement had sub- sided The second day after the execution the 10x containing the body was-dis- interred and placed in a box car" on the siding near Regina. The utmost, secrecy was observed,. so tlaat,‘ the peo- pic would know nouhing of Lhe trans- fer. Besides the arc‘hbishOp and sevâ€" eral churchmen, the only person pre- sent was James Egan, superintendent of that, portion of the Canadian Pacific quhvzzy. - n ,- on ‘ Unknown, however, to the railroad officials, friends of Riel had secreted a brother of the dead man in the car with the body ,the idem being that. in case Riel came to life. as all his friends firmly believed he would, some one would be near to minister to his wants and to Spirit him (away “here the Govermnent coufld. not again 'apture him.

The train drew up to the gate of the cemetery, and Pat Fariey. yardmaster of the Canadian Pacific at Winnipeg, himseltf a devout Catho- lic. and a believer in Riel’s prophecy to come to itfe, with faltering ste ap« proached the door of the car. Vith muttered prayers and trembling fin- gens he unfastened the wire holding the door of the ear.

All peered fearfully into the car through the halt-open door, and for an instant, it seemed as if the miracle had already come to pass, for there. half concealed by the darkness of the car’s interior, stood the exact counter- part. of Riel, the fanatic: that had been hanged three days since.

It was said that through some collusion with the hangman at Regina Riel escaped death on the ga'lflow‘s and that the cof- fin with the supposed body. buried there and afterwards secret'xy removed to St. Boniface contained onLyalot of stones.

TO ST. BONI FACE. new the Yer-I fame to Be Appued to Sources at Uncommon Indies. El Dorado is the term now heard on every side in connection with the plac- er mines of Alaska. and the northwest territory of Canada. Its derivation is of interest. in the fifteenth century it was rumoured that there existed in the northern part of South America a city of great wealth called Manon. whose King, El Dorado by name, was periodically smeared with Oil or bal- sam and was then powdered with gold dust. until his whole body had a gilded appearance. It was said that on these occasions he threw goild. emeralds, and other precious metals and gems. into a sacred lake, in which he afterward bathed. Beginning in 1532 the Spaniards sent many large expeditions to search for this phantom city. and most of them ended disastrously. hundreds of lives being lost. One explorer. Orellano. av- erred that he tound Bl Dora/Jo in his voyage down the Amazon in 1540. This was disproved. but the search was con- tinued down to the eighteenth century Some of the results were the conquest and settlement of New Granada. the making known to the world of the mountain region of Venezuela, the dis- covery of the noble rivers. the Orin- oco and the Amazon. and the explora- tion of the vast forests west of the Andes. About the end of. the six- teenth century an English expedition either sent out by or under the per- sonal leadership of Raleigh penetrated into Guiana, thereby obtaining aolaim on that country which has resulted in the acquirenient of the modern Bri- tish colony of that name. It has been supposed that the origin of this fablle arose from the yearly cel- ebration of a tribe of Indians near Bogota. whose chief was on these occa- sions gilded with gold dust, but this ceremony was never witnessed by the Spaniards, and the story may simply be another version of the .1311 Dorado myth. The 113111? El Dorado was commonly used. to describe the city or country which was the oojcct of the search. but a later usage of the term has been its figurative up iication with regard to any region 0 more than common richness, Jf‘rl Dorado county. in Cali- fornia. was the scene of the famous gold finds of ’49. and since then the eXprcssion has been used to describe many gold camps.
