From a report by Corporal S -- -- , R. C. M. P., Fort Bannerman, to Inspector N -- -- , R. C. M. P., Fort Macleod.
"Pursuant to instructions received, I left Fort Bannerman on the 21st day of April, accompanied by Constable F -- -- , and after some trouble with my dog-team arrived at the Hares' winter camp on Big Hare Lake at 6.30 p.m. on the 22nd. The last part of the journey was in the dark, but we were guided by a great blaze coming apparently from the camp which was visible from the outlet of the lake. At first I thought the place was on fire, but on arrival found that this evening bonfire had become a regular custom.
