real purpose for which the company
was there. After they had been
stationed there for some days the
major sent the soldiers to boarding
around among the citizens, n Of
them going to the residence of the
man Daniels, who, by the way, kept
himself seoreted In some safe place,
mistrustihg that the soldiers were
after him. Dlnielr, however, finally
sentured to como home occasionally
during the night. The major then
informed the soldier who was board.
Ing there was up and for him to let
him quietly know when Daniels was
at homo again. This be did, and one
morning about daylight the terror Of
tho neighborhood was surprised and
captured as he was about to leave the
house for bis hiding place. He waR
marched to headquarters under a
strong guard which had bsen detailed
to capture him. In searching him one
of Col. Msndorson's stolen revolvers
was found upon his person. This Major
Reed took possession of and has
retained over sincs. Some years ago
he wrote to the adjutant general Of
Ohio to try to get trace of Manderson,
but he could not succeed In doing so.
Thus tho matter has rested until q

an account of the election of one Ger.

That Beeswax.
SEA SIDE, July Il, 1888.

SkA SlDE, July ID, 1000.
ED. ASTORIAN:
don't think that any living man
ever heard of a beeswax wreck on
Vancouver Island. When i came
here in 1S43 made all inquiries that
anyone could concerning that wreck
more on account Of the great treasure
that the Indians say was deposited
there by those people IT was at the
mouth of the Nehalela river; there
were thirty in number; that they had
tails on their heads They were
white but not as white as we are. They
were made slaves of by the Indians.
When they came in from work they
would sit with their backs to the wall
to keep the children from bothering
them. There was blacksmith
amongst them; they would go to the
beach at sundown and cry, and tell
the Indians that was where they lived d.
Thomas Mckay went with a company
of Hudson bay men to Nehalem in
search of the great iron chest. There
are Indians here yet that know when
Thos. Mckay went down. saw him
in 40 in Cal, and asked him all about
it. There is one Indian at Nehalem
yet that says he was a man grown
when Lewis and Clark came here.
The Indians at that time lived where
the Sea Side now stands and that
Lewis and Clark came there and
made salt. This wreck was so many
generations ago that the Indians have
no idea when, but the beeswax is there
to this day. They have a long story
about it and think pretty true one
but l am such a poor scribe that l
will stop. SEA SIDE.

Pound Drowned.

Last Sunday morning the body OF
an unknown man was found in the
river below Tongue Point. He was
brought TO the coroner's rooms, and
the following verdict rendered by the
jury summoned for that purpose:
"We the undersigned jurors sum
moned to appear before B. b. Frank
lin, coroner Of the precinct Of Astoria,
county and state aforesaid. at his
undertaking rooms in sand precinct,
on the 10Th day Of July 1888, to in
quire into the cause of the death of
said unknown man. Having been
duly sworn according to law, and
having made such inqnisition after
inspecting the body and hearing the
testimony adduced, upon our oaths
each and all do say, that We are un-
able TO identity the deceased, that he
was dressed in dark gray pants, blue
overshirt, leather boots with two
straps and buckles on the top of boot
legs; deceased also had on his person
fifty dollars in money two twenties
and one ten dollar piece, also pocket
knife and carpenters lead pencil.
We are of the opinion that deceased
was logger or woodsman Of some
kind and that he came to h;s death
by drowning in the Columbia river.
Deceased was about FIVE foot nine
inches, heavy set, and red or nearly
red hair, weight about one hundred
and ninety pounds, about thirty years
old and smooth face.
All of which we duly certify 20 by
this inquisition in writing by us
signed this 10th day of July 1883.

Fire on the Hill.

At the risk of being deemed too
offcious we would suggest to the
city council the necessity of having
cisterns. The present condition illus
trates their necessity. There is a fire
on the hill just beyond Mrs. Halls
house, and property is in danger.
The residents there have been fight
ing it and watching it for a week, and
it is a danger and a menace to that
neighborhood. To so up there would
take every foot of hose in the city,
and would involve considerable effort
and leave the main part of the
city in a precarious position. Yet
they need assistance up there and
have a right to it. A cistern at Nam
and Wall streets would be of splendid
service now, and will be of value at
all times. There should be three OF
four of them. OF course they will
cost money, but they would save their
cost q thousand times over should
the dreadful fire break out above the
present limit.

Proved a Failure.

The fish trap invented by Mr..
Fraser some time since has proved a
dead failure. The specimen built
here by joint stock company and
sent down the river some time since,
has been tied up at Westport, and the
stock is for sale cheap. The fish,
whish appear to have no objections to
running their heads into a seine,
utterly refuse to enter the trap set for
them, and the crew were obliged to
purchase the salmon they wanted TO
eat. Fish are curious creatures any
how, and net floating at random in
the river, or a revolving wheel picks
them up bY the thousand; bat nice,
comfortable trap, with all modern
conveniences, fails to secure Il single

that they lCerc not Italians. It has be
come a common practice, To attribute 10

done, without considering the injustice
of il. Now we, (by which is meant the
Italians of this community are is much
i'm favor Of maintaining the law as the

when any countrymen of ours is guilty
of any crime let him be punished for it.
and yOu will find us ever ready To as

serving or Ter, but before any crime is
charged against us, be sure that we are
responsible for it.
We think we are justified in saying
that a very small per cenlage OF the
crimes committed in this com
