gother too determined to be pleasant
for them. OF course they have felt
a dalicacy about being interfered
with They first protested against
such unwarranted meddliug; they
pronounced the Major most insulfer'
ably "oilicious." Finding that this
failed to change the course of the
aulacious officer who had such queer
ideas of what laws were made for,
they finally commenced to send out
lying kilograms to misrepresent and
belittle him; if we mistake not, how.
ever, they will fail in this way to
break him down. 1t is gratifying to
find an official occasionally who dis.
plays desire to do his duty thor.
oughly, and we can but encourage
such innovations. ALASKA needs to
be ruled with frmness, that order
may come out Of chaos. Collector
Morris has labored long and faith
fully for the development Of the
Territory-mainly to bring it prop
erIy before the attention of the ma
tion, that some form of government
may be provided to afford protection
to those who desire to cast their for.
tunes in with those who have settled
there. AS Special Agent Of the U.
S. Treasury, in this district, he com
piled and forwarded several valuable
reports on Alaska, showing the val.
ue Of her undeveloped resources, etc.
His last effort in that direction, how
ever, is especially deserving of men-
ton; the report in question, which
is now on its way to Washington, is
by far the most comprehensive aud
exhaustive review of that isolated
region ever yet published. 1t is
complete history from the time Of the
purchase, is illustrated, and comes
out just in time to aid in securing
enlightened legislation on the sub.
ject OF territorial form OF govern.
ment for Alaska by Congress this

OK account of he semi lawless
state of Alaska, there has been con-
considerable smuggling going on in
that Territory in the past. Officers
OF the law have too frequently wink.
ed at these transactions because of
the Inconvenience and difIi,ulty ex.
perienced in enforcing the law. The
powers Of the government were ex
ercised solely by the Customs au
,horities who we're backed only by a
government war vessel. As a conse.
qnence, the governing power was
made dependent upon the arbitrary
will of the Collector of Customs. In
most instances heretofore the per.
sons holding that responsible posi-,
tion have been men who preferred
to sit quietly in their comfortable of.
fees and content themselves with
the arduons labor of drawing their
salary, rather than rufile the smooth
tenor of affairs by attempting to co
away with crime. With the admin.
is'ration OF the present incumbent,
however, came new order of things.
Collector Morris is not man to tri>
fe with duty, nor to be trifled with
by those who choose to defy the Jaw.

A good pilot law that while not Oppress-

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF JEFFERSON CO
FRIDAY. JANUARY 20, lS>2.

\ SENSAuoN-Seattle has made
a tropical climate of her own for a
few vacabond criminals this week.
On Tuesday evening Geo. B' hey
nolds, an esteemed young man who
lived in that city, was shot down IN
cold blood 10y a couple of robbers
who had stopped him for money
The unfortunate victim lived bot
a couple of hours: his murderers,
who gave their names as Jas. Sulll-
van and VIVA. Howard, were found
slowed away in Crawford X Har-
rington's haymow. They were ia
ken to Jail, and there kept till the
following morning when they were
,alen to Yesler's Hall and public
examinations was held before JUS
tice Cam. The evidence fixing the
crime clearly upon them, and they
having been committed without bail,
the dense crowd that filled the hall
rushed in upon them by preconcert-
ed arrangement, overpowered the
officers, hurried the prisoners out by
a rear exit, and took them to the
public square where a temporary
galIows had already been erected,
and where they we're strung up at
once without mercy. The two men
were hardly done kicking when it
was proposed to complete the job by
hanging Ben. Payne who was iying
in Jail awaiting his trial for killing
rolice officer Sires some time ago.
The now thoroughly excited crowd,
among whom were many Of Seattle's
best citizens, was ready to act upon
the suggestion without parIey. They
proceeded at once to the Jail, broke
it open, dragged the terrified prison.
er forth and speedily ornamented
the gaIlows with his carcass. The
bodi, were cut down in due time
and al inquest held, resulting in a
verdict of death by hanging without
testimony TO show by whose hands.
Thus was summary vengeance meted
out to criminals in manner calcu
lated To strike terror into the hearts
", such gentry for years to come.
The hanging was appreciated by al
most the eutre communiy y, and con.
gratulatory kilograms soon poured
in from all parts of the Sound. A
threatening notice was published,
warning all that capital crimes are
punishable by death; it would seem
by this that the people are deter.
mined to put stop to so much crime.
The necessity for lynch law is to be
deplored everywhere; it is sad
commentary on the administration
of the law; but when matters come
to such pass that a citizen cam OF
walk the streets in safety, it is time
to do something. We need more
severity in courts of justice, and the
outraged public wonld not then be
compelled to do the proper work oil
judges and juries.

A BROKEN LEVEE


MEMPHIS, March, 2.-Private letters from
Riyerton, Miss, $50 miles below Memphis
and ITO miles above vicksburg, say the
levee broke Monday night. and the loss to
property is fearful. Some people were
drowned. Among the number is Ben
Heyne, shipping clerk for Frauk & Rel
mack. He tried to go to the assistance of
Mrs. Bradshaw, and was drawn into the
channel of the break and drowned. The
stock are all drowned, and there are no
provisions for poor people to subsist on
The break occurred obeut 100 yards above
Duncans. We have sent to Terrine for the
steamer Plow Boy to come to take the
women and children to Memphis. They
are suffering greatly, having lost every
thing they possessed, and the clothing they
have on their bodies is the only property
they saved 1t is impossible to describe
the fearful havoc and destruction the waters
have made. Besides the break at River
ton, there is two more, one at Wright's,
one mile below, and another at Judge
Miles place, two miles below Riverton
Mules, horses, cows, goats and houses pass
by continually.
In Duncans house there must be no less
than twenty five women and children and
a good many more huddled together on the
levee. It is pitiful to see them, half naked,
frozen and hungry. Every house in River
ton, except Duncan's, and Frank and
Reinachs has either f1oated off or is so
damaged by washing away of blocks that
they will be unfit for habitation when the
waters decline. The levee in front of Dun
cans house is weak and there is danger of
its breaking. The storehouse of Max Mil

off and was lost A letter from Sol. Cohen
at Concordia, Miss, twenty miles below
Riverton, says the levee broke Tuesday
morning and water is over Concordia and

The river rose three inches there in twenty
