The Indians were apparently not always so friendly, and the strong walls of the Presbyterian church no doubt afforded com- fort "The Indians were cruel sometimes, and under Louis Riel were .easily led! into trou- ble and killing. Louis Riel him- self threatened ta hang Daddy for what he wrote in the paper. Then the rebellion broke out; the fights at Duck Lake and Batovhe were very severe and some Ontario boys came out to help." "In 1898 we had the gold rush to the Klondike which took all our men away. The North- west Mounted Police had a huge barracks on the hill. There were two camps for the lumber- jacks, and in the Spring when the men came into town we were always kept home because they drank so much, I remem- ber Lucy Montgomery, © who wrote 'Anne of Green Gables', lived right across from our land office."
