OTTAWA, Jan, 6 (Associated | Press)—Froam out of the frozen north beyond the furthest outpost of civilization has come the de- tails supplying the background for the recently reported murder of five) Bakimos, including a four-year-old) girl, because of the desire of one man for another man's wife. ‘Thia desire, it wae explained by Royal Canadian Mounted Police who ‘unearthed the crime, was due to a shortage of women in the barren toe lands. This shortage, they added, was the outcome of an Eskimo cus- tom, but recently abandoned, where- | by female children were put to death ‘because of the shortage of food and the unwritten Eskimo law that only the most useful members of a com- mumity @hould be permittd to live Therefore young sgiris, requiring more care and being of less use than the boys, were condemened to death. Details of the quintuple murder have Just been received here from Police Corporil Doak, who is combing the Yerritory along 75 degrees north Inti- tude in an attempt to bring the cul- prits to justice. ‘The crime took place | Aug. 1, about thirty miles northeast of the Hudson Bay Company's post in Walker Bay, Kent Peninsula. | The story, as toid to Corporal Doak iy an aged Eskimo woman, follows: ‘Two cousins, Hannak and Ikialga- and their wives lived in the raiker Bay district with Ikialgagina’s father, one Ikpukwak. Otto Binder, a trader of Three Rivers, ran away with Ukialgagina’s wife Hannak, desiring to get another wife for his cousin, shot and seriously wounded Anaigviak, with the intention of stealing tho latter's ‘wife. Tatamagona, a partner of the wounded man, traced Hannak to his fent and shot and killed him. One Pugnana, seeing Iklalxugina Fanning to get his rifle, shot and kill- ed the fleeing man. ikpukwak, de- wiring to avenge his son's death, fired at Pugnana and missed, where- upon Pugnana shot and killed him.
