He SNoLED 'EM.-For some months
a big fellow has hung about the low
gambling dens and bagnios of Wash
ington street, ,subsisting on the earn
ings of a wretched wreck of what
was once a woman. He carried a
"gun" with him on all occasions and
stood ready to blow the packing out
of anybody that got in His way. But
he is no longer a resident of Seattle.
On Monday last, he made "raise'
and sought "green fields and pas
lures new" under the following cir
cunstances: He told several China
men who were Jacksonville mer-
chants" as Oh Chow used to say,
that they were liable to be indicted
by the Grand Jury and had better
raise sum of money to buy off the
Prosecuting Attorney. The astnte
heathens readily fell into the adroit
trap aud collected some 5000 for that
purpose, with which the stalwart
individual left for Tacoma, taking
his "chnurk" along with him. 1t was
a clever swindle and he got away
with the baggage, but we think the
long-tailed fraternity will indulge in
considerable profanity between this
time and sunset.
A LAZY VAGRANT.-A seedy look
ing specimen of chronic idleness an
swering to the name of Dowdley,
was arrested by officer Thorndike
yesterday, charged with going to
various houses in the city and by
means of threats and intimidation
compelling timid housewives to fur
nish him with food. He visited the
residence of Mr.. Naeher on Mill
street and tried the same game, but
on complaint being made before
Judge Selye, warrant was issued
to officer Thorndike, who speedily
gathered him in. His Honor de-
manded a bond of 500 from the
prisoner as guarantee of future
good behavior, in default of which
he was remanded for three months
to the caravansary on Mill street
known as the county Jail. =
PRESENTATION. - Capt. VIM. B.
Seabury, the popular commander
of the steamer City of Panama, we
learn was the recipient of a neat tes-
timonial in the form of an elegant
gold watch and chain, rendered by
a number of that gentleman's nauti-
cal friends. Commissioner w. G..
Burney made the presentation in a
happy speech, which was responded
to by the recipient in an appropriate
manner. Twas a fitting tribute to
the worth of a courteous and gal
liant officer.
CRAYON SKETCH.-In passing Hall
& Paulson's yesterday our attention
was attracted by a remarkably ma
tural crayon portrait of the Seattle
coal bunkers together with the high
lands adjacent and portion of the
bay. The sketch is from the pen.
Gil OF our local amateur artist, Miss
Inez Denny. and is we'll executed.
