TRANSCRIPT

When the 'ride' returned the mutineers found themselves surrounded by officers, NCO's and reliable men with their rifles in hand ready for action. The ring-leaders of the mutineers were then arrested and confined in the guard room.

Next morning they were brought before my father, charged with mutiny, and their case was remanded to the Commissioner sitting in Regina. They were then bundled into sleighs and under a suitable escort set out for Calgary, accompanied by the witnesses and necessary statements and the like.

On arrival at Regina, they were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment and dismissed from the force and the 'big buck' was over. The Commissioner then came to Edmonton to investigate the conditions complained of. He found that there had been overcrowding, that the quarters were unfit and my father received a clean bill.'
