Priest Prevented Massacre.

Father Hugonard is dead at the Indiana school, Lebret, Saskatchewan, where he had lived since 1872. What the white residents of Qu’Appelle valley owe to Father Hugonard, during the troublous times of 1885, few appreciate. Single-handed he kept the Indians of File hills and Crooked lakes from a mhssacre. Star Blanket, one of the big chiefs from FHe hills, had come down and Intrenched his braves in the ravines to the north of Lebret. Father Hugonard met the old chief, and practically forced him into submission.
