No one wished to broach the touchy subject. Finally, one of the men friendly with the natives, was asked to tactfully find out their attitude. With rustic directness he asked a friendly Indian, “What did the Indians think of British justice in the case of the dead Indian. found: on ‘Tsomass Farm?" i “We no care," the native replied. “He was an Uclueleht Indian, an enemy of our tribe.” So endeth the story.
