From the Argus.l
BY u private letter from Orcas Island.
dated April 1s, we learn that horrible
murder had been committed there about
month ago. The victim named Wm.
O'Donnel, was about 40 years OF age and
was shot withva rifle, the bullet enterinq
the breast on the lett side. He was
working in the field at the time OF the
murder, and the body was hid away
under pile of rails, where it was NOT
tonnd until about three weeks afterwards
IA neighbor's dog made the discovery.
Deceased was respected by all and the
bloody deed has excited much indirna
tlon. Suspicion rests strongly on Vic.
toria Indians. A meeting oil the settlers
on the island Was called and rewaId of
5000 was offered for the apprehension of
the guilty one or o..es. 1t is requested
also that Gov. Ferry make the reward
double what it now is. Our informant
states that this is the fifth murder which
has occurred in the county under similar
circumstances and the citizens want
protection.
