"The finding of an alarm clock with a part of a dry battery in a shattered grip was reported to D.C. Coleman, Vice-President of the Canadian Pacific Railway western lines at Winnipeg, by General Manager Murphy, who examined the car in which an explosion occurred Wednesday at Farron"
a member of the Doukhobor, Svobodniki was kicked out of the group, he didn't take it well and ended up coming for Verigin by burning his community home
this hasn't been the first time
"This dynamite was in a toolbox which was locked and left alongside the Govt. Road, upon investigation, I discovered a nut had been taken off the stove bolt that holds the lid in place. These nuts were on the inside of the box, which would indicate that someone had taken the nuts off, who had access to the box during the day.”
Sam Kamenshikoff, who was told to be close with Peter Verigin, got into a fistfight before the death of Verigin
Sam was around the area during the time of the crash, and was still in contact with certain people apart of the Doukhobor

The Canadian Goverment killed Peter Verigin
“I felt cold shivers running over me. I began poking my companion and saying to him: hey, don’t sleep, something is going on in our coach: the conductor is waving with some kind of a stick; such a stick I saw in the hands of doctors when operating.” the conductor was using chloroform to put they to sleep
the conductor was waving a stick around then before George Zebroff knew it every one was asleep
the train conductor came in to check on passengers to do a check but didn't go up to anyone but Verigin to get them to move seats but they refused
Zebroff recognized the stick from seeing doctors use it
After the crash they went up to him and asked him what he saw and he said he saw everything and knew what happened
The nurse tried to get Zebroff to drink an unknown medicine for his stomach but the only issue he had was with his back
"A few more public scandals in the Provinces and there must arise an irresistible demand for the curtailment of the powers of the Provincial Governments and Legislatures, otherwise the general credit of the Dominion must disappear."

“Our refusal for non-payment of Taxes is because we are unable to do so because the Government has not paid our Community for building of roads and bridges for which we are pending your final decision and settlement. We beg to repeat once more that we are claiming against you not for the body of Mr. Verigin but for his intellectual faculties.”
