"Rec'd a Letter from the Green Lake by Canadians containing the sad account of Wm Budge having killed a Canadian and wounded another. Mr Sutherland tells me that the murderer with two Canadian men were sent from the Green Lake with Letters for the Sascachewan, and on the third night after their departure that Budge shot one man dead and wounded the other in his Breast and Arm and that without the least provocation whatever, the wounded man had still so much strength left as enable him to sit on his dogs sled which carried him back to Green Lake in two days. Mr. Sutherland saw the wounded man on his Arrival and he saith the manner that the rest of the story is told in leaves but little room to doubt of its being true."
