Wilson's Circus.
PoRT GAMBLE, Oct. 5, Is

PORT GAMBLE, Oct. D, 1910.
Dear Sir: 1 find that Wilson's Colossal
Roman Hippodrome and circus which
is now on tour through the Sound is
in some way confounded with the Katy
Hollaway San Francisco circus which
was here last year. In justice to Mr..
Wilson you will please inform your
readers that at that time he was in St.
Louis, No., with his company, re-
turned last winter, and since then has
travelled through California, playing,
in all, IA weeks in San Francisco. There
he bought all of Chiarinis' celebrated
horses, which, with his own stud COM
prises more and better trick, liberty and
menage horses than belong to any other
circus in the world. Iwould also say
that every performer named in the bills
will positively appear and that the per
formance is really the best ever seen on
the Sound.
By making this announcement you
will do only justice to your readers and
John Wilson, who for the past sixteen
years on tho Pacific Coast has had the
reputation of always fulfilling all OF
his promises. Respectfully.
SHERIDAN CoRBYN, Agent.

From Daily OF Wednesday
Communicated.

A correspondent from Snohomish City
furnishes us with the particulars of q
comical affair which took place there
several years ago. It seems man by
the name of Murphy stole a canoe
loaded with potatoes and tried to run
her to Victoria but in doing so got
ashore on American soil and was ar
rested by tho Sheriff and brought before
astice here. His honor said "Mr.
Murphy stand up and hold up your
right hand" "Mr. Murphy are you
guilty or not guilty?" Guilty, your
honor" 81 call jury on this case" said
his honor, and in short time q jury
was impanslled and the case proceeded.
After all the witnesses had given their
evidence. and the jury had rendered a
verdict of guilty, his Honor stood up
and said, "Mr. Murphy stand up and
held up your right Land" "Mr.
Murphy you have been tried before his
Honor. the Court that's me-and you
lave plead guilty. and you have had the
benefit of jury of six honest, God
fearing and justice-seeking men who
also bring in verdict of guilty, and l
can say the Court-that's me--slso
thinks you guilty of one of the most
gross and hieneous crimes known to the
laws of Nations, that is piracy on the
high seas, and all that remains for me
to Go is to sentence you. Now, there
fore. I sentence you Mr.. Murphy to be
hung by the neck until you are dead.
dead, dead 'And the Lord have
mercy on my SOUL" said Murphy in
terror. "Hold On Pete," said the at
torney for the defense. and the only at
torney, "you can't hang him, mani
why not" said his Honor. Why
you're only Justice of the Peace.
"Well, what shall I do with him." said
his Honor. Why. let him go. of
course" "Mr. Murphy" said his
Honor. "stand up and hold up your
right hand" MIR. Murphy you have
been tried before his Honor. the Court,
that's me and before six God-fearing
and justice-seeking men,-that's the
jury and you have been found guilty
of one of the most gross and heineous
crimes known to the laws of Nations. SO
therefore I let you CO." And may
the Devil take me if don't CO." said
Murphy. And he lit out.

In JUSTICE CoURT.-The exam
ination of All Tuck, the China

being put under bonds in the
sum of $1,000 to appear before

Justice, but as the complaint

NoNcHALANT BATHERs.-At Rye Beach
last week, the bathers were treated to a
novel sight. Three gentlemen well
known in society, who we're among the
lockers on at the usual bathing hour,
when the beach is alive with people,
concluded to try the temperature in
their usual daily garb, and deliberately
walked into the water arm and arm, one
smoking, one carrying cane, and the
third an umbrella, which he raised after
they walked through the breakers into
water up to their necks. This nonchal-
ance was quite remarkable. 1t was
whispered that they left their watches
and greenbacks al home. The bystand-
ers looked on with some anxiety. but
enjoyed the practical joke which the
gentleman were playing on themselves.

the rest of the volunteers was tall,

recent importation from some verdant
and secluded valley. The proprietor en-
trusted him with a full case of type. and
told him to take it down stairs carefully,
leave it in place of safety. and return

enable her to be equal to the
constantly increasing demands
of her route. Communication
with Blakely will be by plunger

in an account of a police case

WY BoATs WITH VALUABLE CARGcEs
ARE BURNED.-An American Plimsoll
has been brought to new notice by the
Chicago Tribune. His name was Sidney
S. Burton, and in era of reckless steam-
boating on the Mississippi and the Ohio
he lived in Cleaveland. he noticed in
reading newspaper reports of wrecks,
that an undue number of vessels valua-
bly, laden we're burned in lonely spots
and sunk in deep water. At length the
well-remembered burning of the Martha
Washington occurred, causing terrible
loss of life. He hurried to Cincinnati
and talked with the officials of the com
panies which had insured the cargo. In
cited by his representations, a thorough
examination of the sunken boat was
made by divers. 1t was found that box
es described in the manifest as filed
with silk held sawdust, that vine bottles
contained colored water, and that in
like ways sham cargo had been pre-,
pared. The owners were tried, and al
though they escaped conviction, the
murderous practice was stopped.

Judge Haskell has just informed me

first story of his now mill to-day if the
weather favored him. The Judge is
pushing the work With commendable
energy. The weather has been against
him nearly all the time since he first
