- Description
- Scene takes place in a clearing. To the left is a businessman in a bowler and a Mountie holding a rifle. They are both standing on a small bridge over a creek and are facing a crowd of 8 men who are about to attack. Some of the men hold sticks and pipes, while another is bending down to grab a rock. The Mountie stands between these workers and the other man, to protect him from violence. There are mountains in the background and there are trees, rocks and water framing the edges of the scene.Signature of artist: “Wadym D” at the bottom leftcascade hotel mural
