Removal of Government Offices to a New Townsite Resisted. Winnipeg, Manitoba, June 20. There is a row at the town of Edmonton which is beginning to assume ominous proportions. The town is on the south side of Saskatchewan River. Recently, Winnipeg speculators purchased land on the north side of the river and started a new townsite calculated to destroy the interests of the old town. The speculators seem to have obtained government influence. For Saturday, orders were received from Ottawa to remove Dominion government land and crown timber offices across the river. When the officials attempted to remove the land office records, excited citizens gathered and took forcible possession of the office, defying the government to carry out the scheme. A correspondent tonight telegraphs the Winnipeg Free Press as follows. It is reported that an attempt will be made at midnight to move the land office records across the river. This will be resisted and bloodshed will surely follow. Last evening government officers were burned in effigy at Stalbert Settlement nearby. Canadian mounted police are stationed on the scene."
