I
murder of Father Rouvler and
Father Lareouz, has been received
at headquarters at Regina. Inspector
LaNauze is no't yet in position to ex
plain the fate of the two priests who
were devoting their lives to the Es
kimo tribes in the north. One thing
is certain, they both are dead.
The last news to arrive from In
spector LaNauze is contained in a
letter dated December 15, and was
written at a point at the far north
west corner of Great Bear lake,
where he made his winter camp. One
of Inspector Bates’ party carried the
letter 500 miles by dog sled to Fort
Norman, where the mail was again
relayed on its way to Regina. The
inspector reached his winter quar
ters on September 8th, five months
after he left. From there he was to
leave for the Arctic coast, according
to the letter
With Inspector LaNa«ze are two
members of the mounted police, a
guide, an Eskimo interpreter and
Father Las’trance, a friend of the
missing missionaries. The tribe
with which the priests have been lo
cated is well on the North Arctic
coast. The last word to come from
them was in October, 1914. It is
expected that many months will
elapse before their fate is deter- j
mined.
Inspector LaNauze’s long journey i
is in every sense an Arctic expedi- i
tion, and is considered by all ,
mounted police to be second in im- ,
portance to Inspector Bates’ expedi
tion to the Arctic to investigate the
murder of Radford and Street, Arc
itc explorers. Inspector Bates is
now believed to be on the Arctic
coast, hundreds of miles east of the
point where Inspector LaNauze will
strike the same coast. Though In
spector Bates left Regina about the
same time as did Inspector LaNauze,
no word is expected to reach head
quarters until n^xt August.
