Referring to the needs of the fu-
ture, we may suggest that some pro-
vision be made by scow, barge or
other conveyance to bring Port Town
sends supply of goods, or such por-
ton of them as may come overland
from the East, to their destination
from their landing place at Seattle or
Tacoma. With the completion of
the Northern Pacific we are assured
that freight will be landed on the
shores of Puget Sound from New
York or Chicago at the same prices
charged to bring it to San Francisco.
As many of our merchants already
buy direct from the East, it is not to be
expected that they will patronize the
longer and more expensive route via
San francisco hereafter. Until a
railroad is extended along the west
side of Puget Sound it seems likely
that nearly all the goods so bought
will be transported via the N. P. R.R.
to Seattle or Tacoma, and thence by
water to our wharves. Until that
time, then, the problem is to reduce
the cost of this water transportation
to the lowest possible fgure-not SO
much for the benefit of merchants
as for the benefit of the public, the
consumers who will have to pay
transportation charges added to the
value of the goods. A scow or barge
properly fitted up could be towed by
one of our local steamers, and freight
could be carried In that way for less
than half the ordinary charge by
vessels now plying the Sound waters,

does not always follow that change

although there are busy bodies who
would be glad to acquire notoriety
by circulating a petition of almost

would do we'll to consider this matter
thoughtfully before doing anything

run but twice a week on the east side

The Horrible Murder near Scotts
bOrO.
oohn Carter cut and shot to Death by
Waller and Walker.

On last Thursday about four or five
O'Clock in the evening there was a hor-
rib'e murder perpetrated two miles
from Scottsboro. John Carter. aged
about twenty-one, son of w. A. B. Car
ter, was foully murdered by Frank,
who is called, Sol Waller and w, U.
Walker. From the information we can
gather an old grudge had existed be-
tween tho three young men for some
time, and they were all in Scots boro
last Thursday. They got bottle of
whiskey, and crowd of countrymen
started home in the afternoon, Walker
riding behind Carter, they having as
Carter understood, ali made friends.
At point a mile from town all the
party separated except Carter Waller
and Walker--they made Carter drink
their whiskey freely, to get him as
drunk as possible in order to carry out
their fiendish design. 1t is said that
they would pretend to drink. and Car
ter was made to swallow the whiskey.
After they thought he was too drunk
to defend himself they began general
attack on him with knives. A regular
cutting ARRAY ensued and Carter defend
ell himself!manfully against his assail-
ants.
Carter was hemmed in some way and
had to get off his horse-the other two
being on foot They ran Carter Into
the yard in the presence of the women
of the house, William Thorp not being
at home, and the poor fellow bleeding
profusely from his wound tried to get
in the house, his assailants headed him.
cutting off all escape. About that time
brother of Waller, who was alleged
to have been turkey hunting, came up
suddenly on the scene, when he either
gave the gun to his brother Sol or it was
snatche d from him, and Sol took delib-
crate aim at Carter, when Carter was
falling, and fired, shooting the top of
his head off, killing him instantly. He
was only in few feet Of him, Sol
then remarked, "Ladies, am d-n
bad cat, "anG he and walker left. John
Carter was badly used up with the
kniyes; it is said his left arm was cut
to the bone, the main artery being sew
cred, and it is thought he would have
bled to death in a few minutes. The
deceased leaves wife and one child.
Waller and Walker hid in the swamps
until Saturday, and diligent search
was beieg made for them, The pursur-
ers came SO close to them, that they
fearing bodily harm, crept to the res
idence of Mr.. Hendric, and got him to
bring them to town, where they were
lodged in Jail. Walker was slightly cut
in the arm by Carter, and waller recei-
we'd cut or two.
Charley Waller, who brought the gan
to Sol was arrested as an accomplice,
but gave $500 bond. He claims that
Sol took the gun from him. that he
was hunting, and on hearing the FUSS
went to see what it meant.
