one Setter of Pop lar Point Man in which the writer states that in the spring following the assassination of Thomas Scott by the party at Fort Garry a corpse was found on the banks of tho Red River in vicinity of St Pe ters Mr Setter knew the late Thomas Scott personally and identi fied the remains as his although the body decomposed Several as sert that the remains were none oth er than those of Scott The ears showed plainly that the person when alive wore earrings There was a rope around his neck This rope was frayed the inference being that a weight had been attached to it for the purpose of sinking a corpse in the Red River The water being high at that time it would be an easy mat ter for the body to float through St Andrews Rapids Mr Setter states that after the body was identified the late Archdeacon Henry Cochrane had the remains interred in St Peters Cemetery and a wooden cross was erected to mark the last resting place of Thomas Scott Archdeacon Cochrane ibis said reported the mat ter to a Hudson Bay official who advised him and all concerned to keep the matter quiet Those were stirring times and for many reasons reticency can be understood The rumor that Lepine would disclose his ghastly has created very general interest among old timers but especially among the Metis The foregoing is quite in accord with the statement of Rev Dr Young who was with Scott in his extremity and who states that the body of the victim of was sunk through the ice into the Red River Ed Rice water should never be thrown away It makes excellent stock for vegetable soup CASTORS A Per
