THEIR VISIT TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF
THIS CITY TO-DAY. ..
, 1877-10-27

SUSPICIOUS Last Sunday evening
a gentleman of this city walked into
the country short distance with .
friend, who was going to his home
near the city. When near the home
of the latter the two saw man who
was following cross the road and
step behind q tree. The two friends
parted, the one to go into his house
the other to return to this city. As
the one coming to town neared the
tree he saw the stranger step behind
he crossed to the opposite side Of
the road, and took his pistol from
his pocket, holding it in his hand.
Passing the tree he saw, in tho
darkness, a man couching behind it,
and near him another man holding
in his hand what appeared to be .
club or large cane. Hurrying on he
left the place and was soon in this
city. Did the sight of the revolver
cover two assassins, and prevent
another murder for money while the
mutilated body of Haagenson was
vet lying in the ravine near by un-
discovered? Was what appeared in
the darkness to be q club or o cane
the bar of iron, a corner of which
dealt Haagenson his death blow?
These are interesting questions.
NUGGETS. Dan McGilvra, who
has been for some time engaged in
mining in the gold fields of Cassiar,
at last succeeded in making a strike,
and returned to this city recently.

INSANE Word was brought to
town this morning that man who
acted very strangely was stopping
in the woods near this city. Consta-
BILE Lyts with assistants at once pro-
ceeded 10 the spot indicated and
after most dilligent search, failed
to find the insane man. He learned
during the search that last night the
supposed insane man was at house
and borrowed an NJ with which he
cut some wood, after which he slept
bv the fire. This morning he re-
turned to the house without any hat,
stating that while lying by the fire
his face became too warm, and he
covered it with his hat. This morn
ing the hat was crisped, ard he cast
it into the fire. This man is sup
posed to be Mr.. Merritt, from near
Snoqualmie, who has been wander
ing about in the woods for some
time, occasionally stopping at q
house for something to eat.
CONE HoME.--After an absence of
ten months, O. J. McCausland has

Maine, spent several months in the
South and a short time in Califor-
mia. and after all, thinks there is no
place like Puget Sound. Mac is a
rustler and an acquisition to any
community with which he casts his
lot.

mense success in Victoria the Rich
ings-Bernard Opera Company will
not appear in this city until Friday
and Saturday of next week, when
our citizens will have another op-
portunity to see this unexcelled
company.
RETuRNED.--Mr.. Mcdonald, who
has been doing Oregon during the
last few weeks, has returned to this
city. It is estimated that the profits
of his trip are not less than 81 600.
Between kalama and Tacoma he
raked in $50 at one of his little
games.
A BARGAIN.-Chilberg Bros. are

SHIPPING GRAIN. Some weeks
ago large shipments of grain were
made from Seattle to San Francisco
by the Pacific Mail Steamships
Nearly all of this grain which was
landed from the farms where raised
on our wharves for 50 per ton, came
from the Swinomish country ; it was
taxed IS cents wharfage, and taken
to San Francisco on the steamships
for 81 per ton. making the expense
of shipping from Swinomish to San
Francisco $6.75 per ton. This tax
the farmers thought too high. The
Puget Mill company made propo-
sition to these farmers to deliver
their grain from the farms to San
Francisco for Sc per ton, being Is
per ton less than the cost of shipp-
ing by way of Seattle. The farmers
accepted this proposition, and now
the grain is shipped direct from the
farms where grown. the steamships
calling at Utsalady for the grain.
The steamship Dakota will call at
Utsalady tomorrow for q large
amount of grain.

SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Paul. the Musician, shoots = Man in
the Eldorad0 Saloon.

Paul. the Musician, shoots = Man In
the Eldorado Saloon.
A rumor was in circulation this
morning of q deliberate attempt
at murder which occurred at late
hour last night in the Eldorado sa-
loon, kept by Tom Smith, on Wash
shington street. There were q num-
Der of different stories about the
shooting, and in order to get the cor
rect version Of the affair, q DISPATCH
reporter at once proceeded to the
room where the wounded man was
confined and obtained his statement
of the matter, which is about as fol-
lows: fs zs.
This morning he (the wounded
man, whose name we will not give)
was sitting by the stove in the bar
room of the Eldorado saloon, and
a young man named Paul, musi-
clan, was sitting in a chair near him
asleep. Three or four other men
were in the saloon at the time, and
two women. Suddenly Paul reused
from his sleep, and taking small
pistol from his pocket, pointed it at
one of the women present, called
Ella. and Snapped; it missed, and he
snapped again, the pistol missing as
before. Our informant had suppos-
ed Paul was jesting, but now began
to think the pistol might be loaded,
ard just as Paul made the third at
tempt he struck the pistol. carrying
it down. This time the cartridge
exploded, and the ball struck the
ankle of our informant. DR.. Cal
houn probed for the ball to-day, and
the probe refusing to enter, the con-
clusion is that the ball rebounded
from the bone. This opinion is
strengthened by the fact that the
wounded man is able to walk to-day.
The prisoner had an examination
in aJustice Andrews court at two
o'clock this afternoon, when q large
number of witnesses were examined.
There were no facts brought out in
addition to the above statement.
The prisoner appeared very much
confused when brought into court,
and requested that the case be post
poned until afternoon, as his nerves
were very much shattered. His
Honor remarked that it was already
two o'clock. The prisoner then
started up, motioning to an attend
ant, and said he must have some
whisky. The attendant followed,
and the prisoner soon returned
looking very much braced up.
After lapse OF ten minutes he again
started for the door, saying he must
have another drink, but this time he
was ordered to sit down, which he
did. reluctantly. One important
witness, Ella, did not appear, and
the case was continued until to- NOR
row at three o'clock. The prisoner
was told that his bail was fixed at
$500, and he started out with an Of
ficer to obtain the security, making
the remark "that's cheap"
Those knowing the most about the
case say Paul is subject to delirious
attacks when drinking heavily, and
say the shooting is the result of one
of these attacks.
