Murder of Allan Thomas

A party of nine white men from the surrounding communities invaded a camp where Allan Thomas was living, near Glaslyn, Saskatchewan, and murdered him. These men destroyed the campsite, collapsing two tents, and fought with the Saulteaux community living there. The following day, men from the area were arrested and charged with non-capital murder. Many of these men arrested were considered respectable men within their communities, as their occupations included farming and business.
