Vote of to six nations indians object to registering Brant Force out. June decided stand against registration has j been taken by members of. The Sis nations indians on the re Skye some 10 Miles from Brantford As shown by Trio following statement drafted and accepted at a mass meeting the indians arc the government to declared l of the Indian act. And Are not subjects and arc not embraced in the Ovder in Council re Quiring enumeration besides which it is distinctly against the treaty of Paris made by the Crown of great Britain with the indians and con sequently they have decided not to Register under the said order in comic in of the government of the do minion of Canada.

Last week chief William Smith was shot at. He has been Active in urging that the indians Register. The most probable cause and no doubt the most logical conclusion on tile origin of the Telegram Tiro two weeks ago today was that some per son searching through tie dark place on the top floor lighted a match and May have dropped it Vilc lighting which would Lodge Between the floor and. Set some matter on says fire commissioner Harry o con nor in his summary of evidence which was handed out yesterday afternoon. The commissioner exonerates the lire , but thinks that a Little delay May have been occasioned by the fact that horses had to be a hitched from the Aerial apparatus before it was convenient and that the apparatus had to be drawn into place Iby hand.
