"Peguis Indians May Carry Fight to Throne, Asking Aid Of "Great, White Mother"," Winnipeg Tribune. December 9, 1933. Page 1. ---- Chief Insists on Letter of Treaty and Promises Made ---- Chief Alex Greyeyes, head of the Peguis Indians that once lived on St. Peter's reserve, with his chief lieutenant, Henry Pahkoo, came to Winnipeg Friday to get help for 17 of his band against whom prosecutions are pending for squatting on land along Netley Creek.

He went to Col. H. M. Hannesson, former Dominion member for Selkirk constituency, and told him that if he couldn't get justice from the authorities he intended to tell his troubles to "The Great Mother, the Queen."

"You mean King George," he was told.

'No, not King George," he answered. "We mean the Great Mother." He took from his pocket a copy of the treaty agreement of August 3, 1871, made at Lower Fort Garry, and pointed to the words on which he said his band relied.

Promise of Treaty "The Great Mother, the Queen, knows you are poor," the treaty said. "She will assist you all when you settle, and our Great Mother will give you 160 acres of land per five of a family. When you will be on your Indian reserve, no white man will be allowed to stop there inside the reserve, and if a white man does anything wrong inside the Indian reserve, I will punish him myself."

About 26 years ago the white man did begin to go inside the reserve and in a series of negotiations that the Indians said never was fair, St. Peter's reserve was surrenderd. The Dominion government arranged their transfer to Fisher Branch reserve, about 100 miles from St. Peter's, a location between Hodgson and Koostatak.

Started a Battle The surrender proceedings years ago started a bitter battle in political circles and at Ottawa the cause of the Indians was taken up by Senator Geo. Bradbury, then the House of Commons member for Selkirk. The surrender of the reserve was put through, and a Royal Commission investigation was forced. Some of the Indians moved from St. Peter's to Fisher Branch and others never moved at all.

When the surrender was made each family was given 16 acres of land in a part of St. Peter's Reserve or near it. This concession was a sort of compromise. but it never satisfied members of the band. A number of them sold the holding for little or nothing. In 1914 Mr. Bradbury got through parliament a bill that placed a lien of $1 an acre on the 16-acre holdings. This was intended as a trust fund for familles of the reserve. It was to bear Interest at five percent from July 1, 1913, until paid, and although registered as an encumbrance on the titles, little or no attempt has ever been made to collect it.

Lacked Local Market Things never went well for the band at Fisher Branch. There used to be a local market for their wood and hay at Selkirk, but in the northern reserve there is little or none. Members of the band who used to act as guides in the hunting marshes have no chance for this occupation at Fisher Branch. Mostly they were deprived of what chance they once had of making a little money.

Two years ago Chief Grey Eyes and some 50 families packed up their belongings at Fisher Branch and returned. Their lands on St. Peter's were gone and they pitched their tents on the north end of Netley Creek. A year after, they started to build log huts, and there they intend to stay. About nine months ago the Dominion government started prosecutions for trespass, and two members of the band, John Muningwav and Charlie Thompson, were given three-month jail sentences. Munnigway has served his time, and Thompson 's still at Headingly. Prosecutions against 17 others are pending.

Petition Government Two months ago the band petitioned the Dominion government and asked that the prosecutions be dropped and the two prisoners released. They asked that they be permitted to organize again as a band and settle on some undisposed parts of the former St. Peter's Reserve, in return for which they agree to surrender all rights in the Fisher Branch Reserve.

In the petition they also undertook to abandon all agitation to set aside the surrender, provided the government would collect the assessments under the 1914 act and distribute them among families of the Peguls band as originally constituted.

On 19th August 1975, the Headingly Ashes Test in Leeds had to be abandoned due to damage to the pitch.

BBC News reported;

"…Campaigners calling for the release of robber George Davis from prison have vandalised the pitch at Headingley cricket ground in Leeds. They dug holes in the pitch and poured oil over one end of the wicket…The walls surrounding the ground were also daubed with the now-familiar slogans demanding the release of Davis, the east London minicab driver jailed for his part in an armed robbery…"

George Davis had been sentenced to 20 years in prison for his part in a payroll robbery in Ilford, Essex, during which a police officer was shot and injured. His supporters claimed mistaken identity, and had been mounting a campaign of protest which included marches, petitions, a seven hour rooftop sit-in at St Paul’s Cathedral, and various fund-raising events to fund legal challenges.

All this attracted the attention of (Labour) Home Secretary Roy Jenkins, later one of the SDP ‘Gang of Four’ rebels. An independent inquiry was convened and raised doubts over Davis’ identification, which was based on the evidence of two Metropolitan Police officers.

George Davis went free in in May 1976, but two years later pleaded guilty to taking part in a bank robbery and was sentenced to 15 years. He was free once again by 1984, but three years later went back inside for some kind of heist involving mail bags.

According to BBC reporting, four people subsequently faced trial for digging up the pitch at Headingley. Three received suspended sentences but one was jailed for 18 months.

Former Headingley inmates in a new kind of fight: one for a sober, better life

They’re two ex-inmates who are now on the outside and looking in.

But it’s not because they want to return to jail. They’re just unsure of where to go next.

“It’s overwhelming,” Jeremy Raven says softly. “I’m trying to correct all the harmful, destructive things that I’ve done, but there’s all the pain and the hurt.”

It is March 2020, and Raven is three months out of jail. He’s seated next to…

Sheffield United on the brink of ending 12-year Premier League exile

Patience was the order of the day in Bramall Lane where the line disappeared from the ticket office, scrambled past the entrance to the players and scrambled the back of the Tony Currie standard and the large statue of Alan Woodward.

There was little trace of celebration in the air. Most waited in a nervous silence. Pessimism usually prevails in S2, where they are painfully familiar with the ability of football to punish the optimist.

They will be careful, but some Sheffield United supporters have resisted the urge to dance. ]

Local hero Billy Sharp is approaching promotion to the Premier League with Sheffield United to the Premier League with Sheffield United

Local hero Billy Sharp is approaching promotion to the Premier League with Sheffield United

Victory against the already delegated Ipswich on Saturday will capture the promotion virtually, leaving the Blades six points for their closest challengers Leeds, who will have two to play and one inferior goal balance.

[Premier League] beckons after a 12-year exile.

Less than three miles away, on the club's practice ground at the top of one of the seven hills of Sheffield, Chris Wilder promised the collected media. I was about entertaining the Geoff Boycot in grim pursuit of another century at Headingley.

& # 39; How boring will I be? & # 39; Wilder said, performing a solid forward defense. & # 39; Just like Boycott, the western terrace has emptied. & # 39;

Sheffield United's manager does not come naturally. Born in the city and raised to become a Blades fan, he had two spells as a player at the club and was present when they were promoted to the top flight under Dave Bassett in 1992.

& # 39; A great period for the club, & Wilder said. I played at the end of that season. Fortunately I tore off my ankle bands, otherwise I would have been at Charlton Athletic. That is how fate happens. I came back here and played in the old first division. & # 39;

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder had two spells with the club as a player "Wilder had two spells with the club as a player

Harry & Bassett, with seven promotions on his list of achievements, coached Wilder through the astonishing rise of his coaching career, which began with his friends in the Sunday League in Sheffield and via Alfreton, Halifax, Oxford and Northampton the circle has been turned to the steel city.

& # 39; I am strict with Harry & # 39 ;, said the 51-year-old. & # 39; Even though I tried to get rid of myself about 33 times. I was like a rubber bullet, I kept bouncing. I have a lot of respect for what I did for the club. He transformed it. "

There are parallels. No-nonsense managers, connected to their audience, serve high-energy football and demand maximum effort from their players.

& # 39; Chris has delivered pride, passion, a work ethic and he has played fantastic offensive football & # 39; said Chris Morgan, captain of the team promoted under Warnock .. It has been a long, hard 12 years.

It is 12 years since Sheffield United crashed out of the top flight, relegated by one goal on goal difference amid screams of injustice when West Ham escaped with a

This episode still plays a role.

This episode still lingers. The Premier League ruled that Tevez and Javier Mascherano had been illegally signed and had fined West Ham £ 5.5 million, but had not deducted points and lost the sheets.

Eventually they won the lawsuit and West Ham were ordered to pay a £ 35 million fee, but this would not make up for the feeling of missed opportunities on Bramall Lane.

Wilder admitted that I was considering the club last year to leave in the midst of a boardroom battle

promotion in 2012, 29 the United States, the United States, the United States and the United States derailed.

His conviction was destroyed four years later, but Evans was in jail when the papers were forwarded to automatic promotion by Sheffield Wednesday, finishing third with 90 points.

The Wilder puts it down with a Touch of understatement from South Yorkshire, the club went through the mill to bite.

President Kevin McCabe, with his long association in governance, has steadily and honestly led Sheffield United through these years of instability and sorrow. League, McCabe and Prince Abdullah Bin Moasaad Bin Abuldaziz al Saud, co-owner since 2013, have been locked up in a fight for control and upset for a date in the High Court next month

Wilder admits he was considering stop

& # 39; I was open about & # 39 ;, he said, but an agreement was reached and the manager signed a new contract, assured by the return of Stephen Bettis as chief executive and strengthened his team with the help of £ 11.5 million from the sale of David Brooks to Bournemouth.

& # 39; I have a clear vision of how I want this club to progress and I think what players and employees have achieved

& I am an employee and I respect that status , but I am the type of man who walks through the front door and I will walk out the front door if it is

& # 39; There are no threats but it must be right and I must say that the two owners are at met and we improved. & # 39;

Wilder responded and is on the verge of completing a full range of promotions that have led Oxford to League Two, Northampton in League One, and the magazines in the championship. Defeat Ipswich and they can even break a small mold into Bramall Lane.

"MIKE LAGOSKI TO HANG FOR WIFE MURDER," Winnipeg Tribune. December 8, 1933. Page 3. --- Mr. Justice Dysart Sets February 8 as Date For Execution ---- [Special to The Winnipeg Tribune] DAUPHIN, Man., Dec. 8 - Mike Lagoski, 32, Gilbert Plains farmer, found guilty at the assizes here of the murder of his wife, Thursday afternoon was condemned to hang. Mr. Justice Dysart fixed February 8 the date for execution of the death sentence in Headingly jail.

As His Lordship pronounced the sentence Lagoski's face worked convulsively. As he was led back to the cells he collapsed in the corridor outside the court-room.

Attached to the verdict was a strong recommendation from the jury that mercy be extended to the prisoner, Mr. Justice Dysart said that he would forward this with his own recommendation to the minister of justice at Ottawa.

Lagoski killed his wife by cutting her throat at their farm home nine miles north of Gilbert Plains, on July 10. After the slaying he attempted suicide by jumping into a well in which the water was not deep enough to drown him. He then tried to hang himself from a rafter in the barn, but was cut down by police constables who arrived to investigate the reported murder.

His daughter, eight years old, who told of improper relations between her mother and Steve Godleiwich, a hired man, also gave damaging evidence against her father.

"BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE," Winnipeg Tribune. February 8, 1943. Page 11. ---- By V.V.M. --- TWO men, charged with housebreaking and theft, pleaded not guilty in city police court today, and asked for a jury trial. They are accused of gaining entrance to a house and breaking open two children's banks from which they stole small sums of money in coppers and silver.

Chief witness at the preliminary hearing will be a nine-year old girl who told police she saw her "Uncle Harry" strike matches on the wall of her bedroom and then walk away with her bank.

Part of the testimony given against a man charged with drunk driving was that of two policemen who visited his home ten minutes after being informed by radio that his auto had been involved in an accident.

The auto which they had been told to look for was standing outside the house with dents in both the front and rear night fenders. There were also streaks of yellow paint on the fenders.

When the policemen attempted to interview the accused he ordered them out of the house, they said. He rose to his feet, asked them whether they were members of the Gestapo, then fell forward on his face. His son had to assist him in getting back to his chair. He was, the policemen testified, drunk.

Magistrate R. B. Graham found the man guilty and imposed the usual penalty of seven days in jail with suspension of the driver's license for six months, and impounding of the auto for three months. Defense counsel announced that the conviction would be appealed.

"Compact Thief Sent To Jail," Winnipeg Tribune. March 25, 1943. Page 13. ----- Mike Kostiuk, a "mechanized purse-snatcher," was sent to jail for one year after being convicted of theft from the person by Magistrate R. B. Graham, in city police court today.

It was a stolen compact, found in the possession of a girl who had been detained on a juvenile delinquency charge, that led to Mike's arrest. When asked where she had got the compact she said the accused - whom she knew as "Piker" - had given it to her.

When arrested, and confronted with the girl, Mike denied giving her the compact. But today, when testifying on his own behalf, he admitted having given the compact which, he said, he had found in a cafe. He told the court he had at first denied having the compact because he was confused.

Mrs. Susan Cherry, 180 Scotia st., owner of the compact, testified that she had been walking on St. John's ave., near Charles st., with another woman, when two young men had come up behind them. One snatched her purse, containing the compact, the other attempted to steal her companion's muff. Both youths made their getaway in a car parked nearby.

The accused had a juvenile court record which showed he had been convicted of theft nine times between 1932 and 1941. He had also been, convicted of boxcar breaking and theft.
