Tuesday, March 28, 1911. The Lost Patrol

The Royal North West Mounted Police laid to rest Inspector Francis J. Fitzgerald, Constables Richard O. Taylor and George F. Kinney, and their guide, Special Constable Sam Carter, who had become lost and perished in the annual 620 mile trip from Fort McPherson to Dawson City.   

They had passed away in January.

The long range patrol was discontinued in 1922.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reported:

Thirty-five or 40 Boer farmers who settled some years ago in Mexico and who want to escape the unsettled and troubled conditions in that country, will bring their families with them to New Mexico and found a colony at Los Alamos, San Miguel County.

Last edition:

Monday, March 27, 1911. Habeas Corpus suspended in Mexico.
