MURDER AT PoRT LUDLow.-On
Monday last Sheriff Van Bokkelen re-
eeived telegram from Port Ludlow,
stating that a Hydah Indian had been
killed at that place by four men, named
Matthews, Wright, Lewis and Kaafe.
He Immediately procured a warrant
from Justice Learned and proceeded to
Port Ludlow on the Revenue cutter
walcott, apprehended the men, and
brought them to this city and lodged
them in Jail. Wednesday morning they
were brought out before Justice Learn
ed for examination upon the charge ol
murder, an account Of which win be
found elsewhere under an appropriate
heading. 1. NJ. Hall, Esq, conducted
the prosecution, and c. NJ. Bradshaw,
appeared for the prisoners and con
Quoted the defense. Much credit Is duo
the sheriff for his promptness and en-
ergy in bringing about an examina-
tion. The men were employed In
Frank Harris's logging camp, and have
heretofore been regarded as quiet and
inoffensive men as far as we can learn.

erations took place. In the morning
the dog, which was usually chained
there was found dead, having been
poisoned, and a pane OF glass was cut
out Of the sash in the door. Why they
failed to penetrate the store is best
known to themselves. Daylight may
have been approaching too rapidly, OF
they may have become aiarineu lIplLl ISl,
the occupants Of the sec ond story Were
not aroused, or they might not have

RUNAwAr.-The horses attached to
the Port Discovery stage took fright
on Wednesday and, running through
Water street. turned up Quincy street,
proceeding at great speed until they
reached the hin, when they slackened,
afcrding the person aboard an oppOr-
tunlty to allght Of which he awaited
himself and then attempted to stop
the team. His efforts. however, only
resulted In wheeling the horses 50 near
the edge Of the precipIce on one side,
that the coach capsized, taking the
team with 1t, rolling over and over,
making i've enmplste evolutions before
they reached the level ground below
some sixty feet. Strange to say, the
damage was trihing, neither Of the
horses susering any material injury,
while the vehicle, standing In its natural
position, sustained merely the loss of a
few fixtures. Query-Would . railing
be out Of place on that piece Of road?

ADVENTURE WITH A COUGAR.

AS test of nerve, the recent experience
Of IL wayfarcr, travelling a wood road near
Olympia, Washington Territory, was as re-
markabc as any on record. The man was
Il speculator, looking out wild land, and he
trudged through the forest, following the
almost unseen path formed by an old road
made by pioneers in the wilderness His
mind was devoted to one subject-the cri-
tical examination Of the trees upon the
land about him, and of the character of the
soil, and he failed to notice for some time
a 'pit-a-pat" upon the dead leaves near him.
He at first scarcely looked down, when he
felt something rubbing against his legs
and heard slight pairing sound, but
when he did look his heart came up III his
mouth and cold sweat started as sudden
ly as though he were suspended by a weak
rope over Niagara Pressing itself softly
against his legs, twining about him as he
walked, moving its fcxile body swiftly, but
with never sound, turning up fierce eyes
with something almost like Il terrible laugh
in thcm was huge cougar
No chicken was this man in the woods
but his account of the manner in which his
hat was raised by his hair is not be consi
dered as apocryphal at all. Sleek and sup
pic and muscular the beast glied about, and
| at intervals it would come closer again, and
press its body against the legs of the man
the light touch making goosetiesh of every
inch in his form. 1t was "A terrible expert
ence that interview with the cougar in tn,
forest primeval, and it was well for the MAI
that his nerves were of the kind to do hon
or to a frontier adventurer. Steadily pur
suing his course with steps that would tal
ter little occasionally, he kept on, and
with him the beast continued its treacheroui
gauholz=. At times it would glide te"

III the road, and wait for the man to come
mp, and then it would circle around him
again until the impulse, almost too stron"
to be resisted. would cofnc upon him to
spring upon the brute, opposing fists to
lrangs, and ending the intolerablc suspcns,.
