"URGED INDIAN TO TRUST WHITE MAN," Toronto Star. January 8, 1913. Page 3. ---- Outlaw Killed Two White Men Who Abused His Wife. ---- BEST SHOT IN COUNTRY ---- Canadian Press Despatch. Vancouver, B. C. Jan. 8. - That Simon-Gun-A-Noot, noted Indian outlaw, who for years has successfully defied the police in northern British Columbia, recently considered giving himself up voluntarily to the authorities at Hazelton is the information brought down from the north. Gun-A-Noot is wanted for the murder of two men several years ago.
Rev. Willian Lee, a Methodist minister at Kispiox, which is twelve miles from Hazelton, assists the Indians under his charge in handling the business affairs of their saw mill, which is a co-operative concern, with many native shareholders. A short time ago a strange Indian of fine physique and speaking perfect English called on the missionary asking for the return of certain money he said he had invested in the mill.
When Mr. Lee asked for the visitor's name, the latter, after hesitating, admitted he was the famous outlaw, and his name was found in the list of shareholders. After the business had been concluded Mr. Lee advised the Indian to give himself up.
"But the white men would not take into consideration that I killed their two men because they had abused my wife," objected the outlaw.
Refused to Surrender. Simon went away after agreeing to think over the proposition, but later in the day returned and said he would not surrender himself. He said his friends believed that a jury of white men would not pay enough attention to what led to the murders, because, he declared, white men did not care what was done to Indian women. Mr. Lee told a friend later that Simon was armed with three revolvers - one on each hip and one in a holster in the centre of his belt.
Simon is known as probably the surest shot and best hunter in the north. He was always looked upon as a model Indian until the day when. after having warned two white men to keep away from his wife, he returned from the hunt to find his wife debauched and the two whites holding a drunken celebration in his home. He shot them both dead and then fled, successfully evading capture.

–"And you think you'll need ten people against me? Seriously. What sort of a coward are you?”
–"Oh, not at all. They’re just for show. I challenge you to a duel."
–"A duel. Sure. Here?"
–"Here."
– "What do I get if I win?"
–"I'll tell you where Kelian is."
–"Hard to tell me that if you're dead."
–"Then maybe don't kill me."

"Simon Gun-A-Noot May Surrender," The Inland Sentinel (Kamloops). January 24, 1913. Page 3. ---- Victoria, Jan. 23 - Communication has been established between the British Columbia Government and the Indian outlaw Simon Gun-A-Noot, and it is regarded as practically certain that the long-hunted Indian will shortly surrender self the criminal courts which it is virtually, conceded can end only in his acquittal. Until he is brought to trial a nolle prosequi cannot be entered by the Crown.
Gun-a-Noot some six or seven years ago shot dead a French half breed named Le Clair and boon companion who, upon his return from one of his hunting expeditions, he found in company with his (Gun-a-Noot's) wife. He had previously warned the Frenchmen to keep away from his home and especially not to give liquor to the woman. The Indian is alleged to have shot Le Clair's companion only when he drew a revolver. The outlaw Indian had a long chat recently with Rev. William Lee, the resident Methodist missionary at Kispiox, who urged him to give himself up.
"But the white man would not take into consideration that I killed these men because they had abused and disgraced my wife," urged the Indian. "I do not believe, and my friends do not believe, that a white man's jury could give enough attention to what led to my becoming a murderer - white men do not what is done to Indian women."
When last seen at Kispiox, Simon Gun-a-Noot was fully armed, with revolvers ready to either hand and a spare one in a holster. He is accounted probably the surest shot and the best hunter in the north. He was always looked on a a model Indian until the day after having previously warned two white men to leave his wife alone, he returned from, the hunt to find his wife intoxicated and the two whites holding a drunken celebration in his home. The fact that he has the sympathy of the residents in his district is evidenced in his ability at all times during his exile to keep well supplied with food and ammunition, and without once leaving his own hunting ground and each year sending his fur pack to market.

Since NRC has a lot of famous students, hostage situations are quite common, so much so that there is a section of the guidebook on the matter.
In the latest incident, a couple of bandits tried to kidnap Ruggie to get to Leona.
(There were plenty of other targets, like Epel or anyone else in Savanaclaw, but the criminals didn't want to fight a bulky teenager and were afraid of the Pomefiore student).
Fortunately, the bandits couldn't find the perfect time to strike, since Ruggie was always accompanied by a student, usually the Octotrio or Leona himself, even Lillia and Malleus at one point.
What they didn't know was that Sam's friends had warned him about the plan and he sent a note in the school chat, meaning the entire school already knew and even helped catch the criminals later on.
And if Leona punched them in the face for trying to mess with him and his emotional support hyena, nobody said a thing.
