The Mounties Always Fetch Their Man

The brief article below appeared in the Fort Benton (Montana, USA) Weekly Record of April 13th, 1877.

It is unfortunate that I was not able (at least thus far) to locate an undamaged version of the article. It is believed to be the source, or perhaps inspiration is the more accurate term, of the "always get their man" tagline attached to the Mounties. 

Irvine must be Acheson Gosford Irvine, who joined the  NWMP in 1875. He would have been Assistant Commissioner at that time, and became Commissioner in November 1880.

Winder is likely William Winder, who commanded 'C' Troop during the March West in 1873, then through to his discharge in 1881. 

NWMP "state of the union" in April 1878.

"Macleod Brought Law to the West"

 The following articles appeared in the February 10th, 1983, edition of The Province newspaper.
