1914 Mar 5 – Brattiko Shot Kuzyk

A coroner’s inquest was held on Thursday in the town hall to inquire into the shooting of Mike Kuzyk at Volga, a point 10 miles southeast of Winnipegosis, on Feb. 21st. Dr. Culbertson was the coroner.
The following composed the jury; T. Jordan, D.D. McDonald, W.A. Brinkman, H.G. Hills, S. Vance, J. Blanchflower, E. Webb, Geo. King, foreman.
The evidence of a number of Galicians, including Brattiko himself, was taken. The others heard were Dr. Medd and Constable Hunking, of Winnipegosis.
Brattiko told a rambling story saying that his gun was accidentally discharged and in this way Kuzyk was shot. All circumstances pointed to Brattiko having shot Kuzyk in mistake for a deer. He afterwards admitted he did.
The verdict of the jury was that Kuzyk came to his death by a wound inflicted by a bullet from a rifle in the hands of Nicola Brattiko.
Brattiko was afterwards arrested and appeared before Magistrate Munson on Saturday charged with shooting Kuzyk. After hearing the evidence Brattiko was remanded till Friday, the 6th.
Brattiko is out on bail.

1914 Feb 26 – Arrested on Murder Charge

The following dispatch was received from Edmonton on Saturday and concerns two parties which are well known around Sifton and Dauphin, Charles Turcunuk and his wife, who is better known as Mrs. Lena Wilson.
About four years ago Turcunuk worked for the railway being engaged cleaning out cars. He afterwards went West to Edmonton, where he started a boarding house among the foreigners and has been doing well up to the time of the advent of his wife a weeks ago. Those who were acquainted with him while he was in Dauphin speak highly of him.
Mrs. Turcunuk, or Wilson, as she was known about town, only left here a few weeks ago for Edmonton. During the Rooke trial she acted as interpreter for the crown.
Charles Turcunuk, a boarding and lodging housekeeper, was arrested this morning on a charge of murdering his four-months-old child in Sifton.
Mrs. Wilson has made a statement that Turcunuk murdered their four-months-old child and afterwards made her promise not to tell the police, or anyone else. She heard the child crying, and all of a sudden it stopped. She ran upstairs to the bedroom and found the child dead on the bed; her husband was standing a few feet away and looking at the corpse. It was then that he grabbed a carving knife and holding it over her head while she knelt on the floor commanded that her mouth be sealed and her tongue be silent forever.

SHE TOLD SECRET

Convinced that her husband would carry out his terrible threat, Mrs. Wilson obeyed and promised to keep the secret, and this morning after seeing Turcunuk escorted to the prisoner’s dock to answer to a charge of non-support, she told the story to Deputy Chief Wright, and other police officials and in doing so submitted a written statement that will be used in evidence at the preliminary hearing next Tuesday morning.
The charge of non-support had just finished and the man fined $75 and costs, when Magistrate Massie commanded him to stand up to listen to a second charge.

1914 Feb 26 – Fork River

Nat Little and daughter, Miss Grace, have left on a trip east on business.
W.J. Johnston, of Mowat, has returned from Mafeking where he spent the winter fishing.
W. King returned the latter end of last week from a business trip to Winnipeg, and states there are a large number there taking in the bonspiel and the Agricultural college course.
Prof. J. Robinson returned from fishing up north and there is little doubt but he will soon have the Fork River band in shape for any emergency.
We notice the minutes of the municipal meeting were published the following week after the meeting in the Herald. This is as it should be Promptness is what the people look for and appreciate.
Mr. T. Secord, homestead inspector, is spending a few days in this burgh.
Mrs. R. McEachern and son, Donnie, are spending a week in Winnipeg.
“B and K” are not breaking any law of the country, Mowat friend. So try again. We have no doubt that the late Oak Brae mail carrier thought it an interesting event every Saturday and we are also sure though it a more interesting and wonderful stroke of luck when the cheques came along. It is not everyone gets paid for carrying their own mail. We don’t hold our meeting on Sunday friend. Get wise and shake yourself. Nuff for this time. Practice what you preach.

1914 Feb 26 – Winnipegosis

The bonspiel will open on Wednesday at one o’clock with sixteen rinks. Keen competition is looked for, as there is a large number of very valuable prizes. Some of the fellows that have been saying all winter what they would do if they wee only skips, will have a chance to try their hand now.
A very serious shooting accident took place about 25 miles south east of here on Monday. A Galician by the name of Kusyk, being shot through the back with a 44. Calibre rifle. The bullet passed through his abdomen. Dr. Medd was sent for and advised him to go to Dauphin Hospital to undergo operations. Since it is learned he has died.
Mrs. A.E. Groff, who has been on the sick list, we are glad to report is much better.
Frank Hechter arrived home from the Winnipeg bonspiel on Friday looking as hearty as ever.
J.P. Grenon left on Monday for Winnipeg and points east.
The W.A. are giving an alphabet party at the home of Mrs. Bradley on Tuesday evening.
Since the parcel post rates went into effect there is a large increase in parcels passing through the mail. The mail carrier is talking about getting a horse. But we see that Eaton’s still left Morten handle their catalogues.

Today in the Dauphin Herald – Jan 30 – 1913

1913 Jan 30 – Constable Rooke Shot
CONDITION CRITICAL

Thursday Jan. 30th, 11:30 a.m. – Constable Rooke’s condition critical, but he is holding his own well considering the wound is of such a dangerous character.

Constable Chas. Rooke was seriously shot Sunday by John Baran. A Galician, whom he was attempting to arrest, and is now in the general hospital. Mr. Rooke left early Sunday morning, taking a livery team and driver to arrest John Baran, who lives some twenty miles southwest of town, in the municipality of Gilbert Plains.
Baran has been giving considerable trouble of late and had deserted his wife, who has been a public charge for several years and was living with another woman at his farm in the Riding Mountain.
In driving out Sunday morning Rooke left his team at a neighbour’s a mile from Baran’s, and proceeded on foot accompanied by J. Tomaski, his driver, expecting that he would be able to approach and capture his man without giving him the alarm and perhaps escaping in the woods. After carefully approaching the house he rapped on the door but was told by the woman, who came to a window, that Baran was not at home. Rooke then proceeded to affect a forcible entrance, when three shots were fired in rapid succession through the door, the weapon used being a rifle.
The first shot struck the officer in the left breast over the heart.
His driver attempted to assist him to walk back to where the team was left, but after proceeding a short distance was compelled to leave him and hasten on for his team. Returning, with the assistance of the neighbour, he conveyed the wounded man to this neighbour’s house, but had to leave him there as he could not stand the jolting of the cutter. The driver drove down the mountain about nine miles to the home of H. McCorvie, who has a telephone, and summoned medical aid from town.
Upon receiving advice Dr. W.J. Harrington at once drove out, using all possible haste and getting a fresh team at McCorvie’s. A sleigh was fitted out in which to ring the injured man to the hospital and followed the doctor out.

WAS NOTORIOUS CHARACTER

Baran is a notorious character. He had been sent to jail two years ago for assaulting his wife. Baran deserted her and was living with another woman and his wife has to be supported as a charge on the town. It was only two years ago that Constable Rooke drove thirty-three miles in the coldest day of January, through a storm, in order to rescue Baran’s two little children, who were reported to be destitute and starving to death. These children were committed to the Winnipeg Children’s Aid Society by Magistrate Munson. Baran was summoned to appear before the magistrate for the non-support of his wife and children, and having disobeyed the summon, the magistrate issued a warrant and it was this warrant that Constable Rooke was endeavoring to arrest Baran on when he was shot.

THE INQUEST

The inquest on the death of the Baran baby, who was shot Monday by the police posse which went to the Galician settlement, was held, on Tuesday in the town hall. Evidence was taken from Dr. Ross, Chief of Police Bridle, F. May, W. Evans, W. Knight, E. Turland and Fred Little, members of the posse who did the shooting. The evidence produced showed that the child was killed almost instantly, the bullet passing through the body, causing a shock and hemorrhage.
The following jurymen were empanelled: Geo. King, foreman; Thos. Shaw, N. Taylor, E. Batty, H.F. Caldwell, D. Sutherland, T. Jordan, J.F. Neeley, R.G. Ferguson, F. Copeland, F.J. McDonald, H.R. Morrison.
After viewing the remains of the child and hearing the evidence, they returned the following verdict: –

VERDICT OF JURY

“We, the jury empanelled to take evidence as to the death of the baby Baran, on Jan. 27th, find that the baby came to his death by being shot with a rifle in the hands of one of the posse under Chief Bridle, organized for the purpose of arresting John Baran, suspected of having shot Constable Rooke, and the death of the baby, while regrettable, was purely accidental under the circumstances and we attach no blame to any member of the posse.”

1913 Jan 30 – Woman Placed Under Arrest

Annie Chisyk, who is a patient in the hospital suffering from a bullet wound, was formally placed under arrest on Wednesday, charged with shooting Constable Rooke. Her trial was set for Feb. 4th.

1914 Jan 15 – Krafchenko Seen at Sifton

While the hunt for Krafchenko has centred principally in Winnipeg it is now known beyond a doubt he passed through Dauphin well disguised. That he is known and has friends in the Sifton district is also a fact. Several years ago, when arrested and taken to Prince Albert, he remained with a friend at the northern village for over a week. The people come from the same part of Europe as Krafchenko. A Winnipeg official is on the trial and developments may be expected.

Today in the Dauphin Herald – Jan 14 – 1915

1915 Jan 14 – This is a Record

A Prince Albert woman gave birth to three girls and a boy on Tuesday of this week.

1915 Jan 14 – Mossey River Council

First meeting of the council of 1915 held in the council chamber, Winnipegosis, Jan. 5th. There were present Reeve Lacey, and Councillors Yakavanka, Hunt, Bickle, Hechter and Namaka.
The clerk swore in the new Reeve and councillors.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted as read with a clause added giving the names of the councillors voting for and against.
Communications were read from W.B. Dempsey, Dr. Medd, F.E. Simpson and the Highway Commissioner.
The Reeve explained that it was rumoured that Winnipegosis was already incorporated as a village and that the two eastern townships had been taken from this municipality and were now a part of the new municipality of Lawrence; but in neither case had there been any official notification from the municipal commissioner and if either of these rumours were correct it would have a bearing on the appointment of the officers of the year.
Hunt-Hechter – That D.F. Wilson be secretary-treasurer at the same rate of salary as last year till the next meeting of the council.
Bickle-Namaka – That Dr. Medd be health officer till the next meeting of the council at the same rate of salary as for 1914.
Hechter-Yalavanka – That the finance committee of 1914 continue in officer till the next meeting of the council.
A by-law appointing F.E. Simpson solicitor at a salary of $50.00 was passed.
Hechter-Hunt – That Coun. Bickle issue a Ward certificate for $18.00 to J. Bickle, Jr., to replace a certificate issued by ex-councillor Fleming which has been lost.
Hunt-Hechter – That the council adjourn to meet at Fork River at the call of the Reeve.

1915 Jan 14 – Fork River

Mr. E. Thomas manager of the Northern elevator, this winter, left with his family for his home in Verigen, Sask. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas made many friends during their stay here and we wish them prosperity.
Mr. F. Hafenbrak and J. Richardson are spending a few days at Dauphin.
Mr. N. Little and his daughter, Miss Grace, have left for Rochester. A pleasant trip to them.
Mr. E. Humphreys has left for Dauphin on a short holiday.
Mrs. Sam Reid and daughters are spending a week with friends in Winnipeg.
Mr. T. Jordan, of Dauphin, passed through here returning from Winnipegosis. His automobile took a rest outside the town limits. Billy Williams pulled it into the storehouse. Judging from the number of expects around the machine, they will soon fix it or leave it so no one else can.
We notice a Winnipegosis correspondent has been ringing the changes for the last three or four weeks about that “gigger” that runs between Winnipegosis and Fork River. There is nothing very wrong with it, it only wants a little elbow grease. We heard no complaints when the educational department was aboard. We know of an old fellow about sixty who used to tote his former friends around Sunday after Sunday and our Winnipegosis friends thought it alright. It’s amusing to hear them lament about the “weary fisher of men.” We would suggest the cutting out of the hair pin brigade and ring off about the gigger.
A large gathering of the neighbours surrounding our little burgh stormed the castle of Mr. and Mrs. D.F. Wilson on the Mossey River on Thursdays night and had a very merry time. There was dancing, recitations and songs. The ladies put up a good supper and all left for their homes at 3 o’clock in the morning a tired but happy bunch to meet at Dublin Castle, the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. on Wednesday night, the 13th, at a farewell party to Mr. and Mrs. Harnets.
Sam Reid was elected councillor for Ward 6 by acclamation.
Don’t forget the pie social and dance at W. King’s on Friday night, January 22nd.

1915 Jan 14 – Winnipegosis

In all the winters of the past this winter stands out as the nest we remember.
The town is shortly to be incorporated. This will bean severance from the rural municipality of Mossey River with which we have been connected since it became a municipality. Our connection with the municipality, I might mention, has not been satisfactory of late. Town and rural affairs are different, which is natural. The town people want to strike out and go a little faster than our rural neighbours, that’s all.
The fishing keeps up well. The snow plow arrived this week with a big load. The weather has been great for the hauling. The prices paid the fishermen remain steady. Whites are worth 5c a lb; yellows 4 ½ and Jacks 2 1/2c. It is expected that the fish companies will cease operations about the end of the month.
Dr. Wm. Hosey, horse dentist of Dauphin, was in our midst this week. We don’t know how a horse feels with the toothache but between suffering from a jumping toothache and going to face German bullets send me to the front every time.
We hear it frequently asked who is to be our first mayor? Well, your correspondent don’t know, but of course, he must be good looking, affable, popular with the ladies and have a few other qualifications. Does this point to Joise or Frank.

1912 Jan 11 – Fatal Accident

A sad accident occurred in the south-western portion of the town on Friday last when Hugh, the seven year old son of Homer G. Dempsey, was struck in the head with the tines of a pitch fork in the hands of his uncle. It appears that the boy was going into the stable just as his uncle was throwing a forkful of hay and received one of the prongs in the forehead, which penetrated the skull. A physician was at once sent for and the wound attended to. The tines of the fork was in a filthy condition and this made the wound dangerous and which afterwards resulted in the boy’s death.
The family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. The funeral took place on Tuesday to Riverside cemetery.

1912 Jan 11 – Had Part of Ear Bitten off

Two Galicians, Anthony Genik and John Genik, of the Riding Mountain settlement, had a fight last Friday, in which the former had part of his ear chewed off. John, it appears, is married to a young woman, and Anthony thought, had been paying too much attention to his wife when he was away from home. This started the row. Constable Rooke arrested John on Sunday and took him to Gilbert Plains, where he arraigned before magistrate N.B. Nicholson, on Monday on a charge of unlawfully wounding Anthony Genik.
The case was heard on Wednesday, and after hearing the evidence the Magistrate committed the defendant for trial.
He was afterwards released on bail.
