Murdered at n Funeral.

The murder mania is still spreading
throughout the North Pacific, and has
at length reached the poor untutored
Indians, as may be seen by the follow
ing from the Tacoma Herald: "Old
Kitsap is an Indian of over seventy
summers. He claims to be DOCTOR
as did also native called MacKuy.
These old savages practiced the heath
enish mode of laying on Of hands, beat
ing tho devil round the stump, and
other questionable remedies. They
were also rivals, and despised each
other. During the past few years old
Kitsap had lost nine or ten children.
He claims that MacKuy occasioned
their demise by the process of messo-
CHE tamanuous, although his profes
sional services had never been solic
tied, and he was not present at their
death-bed scenes. Kitsap boldly
threatened to avenge the death of his
children by taking the life of the one
whom he deemed responsible for his
sorrow. A short time ago kitsap col
lected some furs, and with the price of
the same purchased revolver. This
weapon he carried beneath his blanket
on Sunday last, while witnessing the
burial of another Indian. .MacKuy
was present. 1t was generally known
among the Indians that Kitsap would
have his revenge on that day. While
sitting upon the ground at the grave,
Mackuy was but few feet in advance
of Kitsap, when the latter quietly
drew his revolver and shot Mackuy
through the heart. He then arose,
fired the deadly missile into the Heavens
with an air of triumph, and disappeared
in the forest. Old Kitsap is bad In
dian; was a prominent foe to the
whites during the Indian war; is known
to have killed several settlers, and has
grown gray in deeds of wickedness
He will probably end a long and event
full career by suddenly swinging into
eternity at the dropping of handker-
chief. DIR. Bostwick held coroners
inquest over the body of the slain In
dian, and the jury found a verdict in
accordance with the above facts. Kit
sap has been arrested, and is now in
the custody of the Indian police"

The Most Wonderful Thing.

Chief Joseph, of the Nez Perce In
dians, who is now in Washington, was
asked the other day what of all the
works of civilization seen in this his
first trip to the East had impressed
him the most 1t was expected that
he would name the capitol, but he re-
piled without moments hesitation,
that the most wonderful thing he had
ever seen or dreamed of was the bridge
over the Mississippi river at st. Louis.
He could build mountain of stone
like the capitol, he said, but he could
not build spiders web that would
stand alone in the air. He was afraid
to cross it, but he saw that the pale
faces were not afraid so he wrapped
his blanket around him and trembled
as the train went over. Apropos to
this is something more wonderful to
the pale faces of Northern Idaho, East
ern Oregon, ETC., and that is this: Why
is it that the fellow who murdered SO
many is lionized in Washington, while
white savages like Cook, at the Dalles,
for instance, are strung up by the neck3

A Fresh start.

The New York E'ceniny Post says:
"By common consent 1879 is regarded
as year for business In the COM
mercial and industrial world the re
covery of which there are signs is slow,
but there are signs of it, at least in
this country. We are ready to take a
fresh start, with an honest one-hun-
dred cent dollar, with old debts paid
or in some way cancelled, with the
wisdom taught by bitter experience,
with more moderate ambition and bet
ter regulated purposes. There is a re-
vived sense of the necessity of work.
There is no longer royal road to
riches. Men feel that the money
which they are to get in the next twelve
months must be earned, and they are
turning their attention not to easy
speculation but to substantial business. .

A Peculiar Case.
INinnemucca Silver State.

Some twenty-six years ago Richard
Tregascus, well known in Silver City,
Idaho, as "Uncle Dick" had one of his
feet cut by stepping on a broken glass.
The doctor who attended him sewed
up the wound, which healed in few
weeks, but caused him considerable
pain at times, until finally it became
unbearable. A few days ago he ar
rived here from Silver City, and had
the foot examined by DR. Bogman.
The doctor made an incision below the
ankle and extracted piece Of glass
about fourth of an inch wide and,
perhaps, three-eighths of an inch long.
from the foot, where it had been for
twenty-six years. During that time
the glass had shifted its position about
six inches, working backward and up
ward from the toes to the ankle.

WHIsKEY AND KNIVES. man

WHIsKEY AND KNIVES. man
was stabbed at Burrard Inlet under
the following circumstances: -Four
men have been living for some time on
the Hastings Granville road, and have
been suspected of selling whiskey to
Indians. On Monday March Sd, two
Indians were found somewhere in the
vicinity of their house apparently dead
from the effects Of bad whiskey, but
one of them was, after some effort, re-
stored to life, the other being beyond
help. The death of this Indian, in
some way, caused a quarrel between
the men who are suspected of having
supplied the liquor, and one of them
in the row, was stabbed twice, and will
probably die.

Some excitement has been caused in
Menomonee county, Michigan, on ac-
count of the reported discovery of gold
and silver deposits in the iron ore
taken from that vicinity. An analy-
sis of the ore, made in Chicago, re
veals the fact that every ton Of the
iron ore contains about sixteen dollars
worth Of gold and silver. The Chi
cago Tribune is the authority for the
reputed discovery.

TiIalen's Innocence.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.l
The innocent old gentleman must
shudder every time he thinks of the
narrow escape he had from getting the
presidency as the result of these secret
bargainings, and how near he came to
having his name passed down in his
tory as synonymous with fraud. As
the case now stands, or as the sub
committee are in fair way to make it
out, Mr.. Tilden goes on the record as
a purblind old dotard, without wit
enough to discover what was taking
place under his very nose. 1t begins
to look as if the Democracy made a
mistake in not nominating Pelton.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-03-20

A citizen of Knappa was moving
last week, and wanting to haul consid-
cradle of load yoked two young men
and steer up together and hitched
them to a sled. They got along first
rate, and made full team to all in
tents and purposes, but the steer
bucked, and that made pulling little
harder on the balance of the team.
This reminds us of Lish Applegate's
experience at breaking steer in the
early days of Oregon. Lish was yoked
up with the steer and the steer ran off.
With his legs flying behind him like
drum sticks Lish kept up with the
steer as the pair of them broke down
the lane at "A tearing rate. Meeting .
friend Lish sung out to him: "Stop
us, stop us. we are running away.."
They were stopped, and the boys be-
gan to unyoke Lish, when he turned
around painting, and imploring said:
"Unyoke the other OK first; I'll stand" !"

Newspaper Decisions.

l. Any person who takes paper regularly
from the post-oliice, whether directed in his
name or anOther's, or whether he has sub
scribed or not-is responsible for payment.
2. If a person orders his paper discontinued,
he must pay all arrears, or the publisher may
continue to send it until payment is made, and
then collect the whole amount whether the
paper is taken from the Office or not.
s. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers and periodicals from the post,
Office or removing and leaving them uncalled
for. is prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud

WONDERFUL RIvERs.-It is a fact
not generally known that Stuck river
or creek, which connects White and
Puyallup rivers in Washington Terri
tory, is natural curiosity, and there
is but one similar instance in the
known world, and that a small stream
in South America When the White
river is the higher then the Stuck
empties into the Puyallup, and when
the Puyallup is unusually high then
the stuck flows into White river.
Thus it forms igatue between those
two rivers, connecting them as Siamess

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
soldity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. in j A MES BOSS
PATEN / STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome. and the SAME sOLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual Gust of solid cases.
This process is OF the most simple nature,
as folows:-A plate of position metal,
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs. centres, bezels.
&C.. are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds OF
chasing. engraving and euameiing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time aud use
without removing the gold. these cases
are Tor sale by all jewelers., aud are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
