Eiitor Goitca Era;
Since Mr.. Tilol5on has given vent
to his wrath in print il may be proper
for me to make q few remarks. !
heard Of his incorporating nc about
the 18th INST, aud wcnt to him and as
surcd him aud his twin err Eakcrs, of
their error and showed them clearly
enough that they were rroaJ in what
they were doing; | could not do more.
Those who associate with me know to
what extent | harbor hOrsC-thicvcS,
and encourage ranch jumping. Mr..
Tillotson's letter IN isrepr9scnts me and
the people here as well as the questions
at issue, aud when hc or any other
man says that haibor horse thieves
or encourage ranch jumping, or incile
men TO crime, or TO do what is not
lawful, thoy wilfully prcvcrt the tIUih.
| admire candor and honesty in all
men, and think my fve.ycar record in
this county will compare with that of
any citizen.
| think the twin cranks had better
flourish another six-shootcr over the
blind-woman, or resort To croton oil
Juice. Mr.. Editor, you have allowed
these men TO DO me wrong in your
paper. hope YOU will be honest
enough to grant me the space required
to right that wrong.

Another Penasco Killing.

We learned, in n round about way
that another killing took place iu the
Pcnasco country recently, wherein one
Mcdonald and one Terrell were the
participants. Mcdonald accused Ter
rcll of robbing Mrs. Nick Booth and
had him searched, but failed to find
any of the missing money. Shortly
after so the story goes, party ofthrec
Terrell amohg them, came up on
Mcdonald in the woods. One of the
party said he had been told that he
(McDonald) had been caught stealing
in Texas. Mcdonald said his inform
er was a ID lar, and demanded said
party to tell him his accuscr's' name.
At that Terrell jumped up and pulled
his six shooter, as also did Mcdonald.
They both fired Mcdonald got his
man and. Terrell did not.
We hoped to give full particulars.
but up to going to pIeSs wo failed to
learn anything more than the above.

Tacoma Ledger. eth: The slip As
toria, Captain Anderson, towed along
side the wharf yesterday morning by the
tug Goliah. The Astoria is loaded with
1872 tons of railroad iron. consisting of
rails, spikes and fish plates, consigL ed
to the o. r. X y. company, and was
t. have unloaded her cargo at Seattle,
but owing to the suspension of railroad
work at that place, Captain Anderson re-
ceived orders upon arriving at Port
Townsend to unload at this point. The
Astoria left New York on the 18th of
September, and was out 81 days before
crossing the equator. One hundred and
four days out from New York she round
ed the Horn, and arrived off Cape Flat
terry February 30, where she lay be-
calmeduntil day or two ago. Captain
Anderson says he encountered very light
winds throughout the entire voyage,
which accounts for the length of time
Astoria has been out The vessel ar
rived in port in excellent trim, not a
spar being broken. Captain Gushing,
who has the contrnct for unloading the
vessel, has his engine ready on the wharf
and will commence work this morning.
The iron will be loaded on ears and
stored on the hill three miles south of
the city. The work of unloading Will be
completed in about three weeks, when
the Astoria will probably take cargo of
coal TO San Francisco. The Astoria is
full-rigged double-decked ship, measur-
ing 2O2 feet over all, forty feet beam and
% feet depth of hold, and registers 1915
tons. She was built in Bath, Maine. in
1915, and is owned by W. H Starbuck.

Nor GUILTY."-The jury verdict in
the murder trial of Charles Mitchell, for
killing John Harris at Point Roberts on
the 11th day of January, 1888, was re
turned late last night in the words, Not
guilty" We believe this verdict meets
the general appreciation of the public
The general impression seems to have
favored acquittal, or manslaughter.
Mitchell undoubtedly is hard charac-
ter, but the evidence showed Harris to
have been a desperate maiI, to have threat
ened MitchelIs life, and that he went to
Mitchelrs house armed with shotgun.
for the avowed purpose of settling their
difficulties, that one of the barrels of the
gun was discharged, when the defend
ant wrenched it from him and clubbed
him to death with it. Burke and Jacobs
made very effective pleas before the jury
yesterday. while prosecuting attorney
Bradshaw and LIS partner Mr.. Jones
each made stirring plea on behalf of
the Territory. Whatcom county will
have a heavy bill of costs to pay; yet it is
hardly in the nature of things that the
killing of any human being under such
circumstances could have been allowed
to go without the most searching judic-
ial investigation. Our prosecuting at
torney certainly performed his duty
faithfully and ably.

y gentleman came down from the
mines one day this week and tells a
straightforward story, and one which
We are inclined to believe, of the mines
and the outlook for the future. He
states that he went there early last fall,
and is familiar with all the location made
and how they are paying. He says that
the Widows claim is the only one
that has ever paid anything; that there
will be more money taken into the mines
within the next three months than viii
be taken from all the claims for the next
FIVE months. The great craze that has
given the mines so much notoriety far
ana near was first gotten up and is
still sustained wholly by spectators who
spring the project for the purpose of
skinning unwary victims.-Astoria In

bic auspices, and has already commenced
Its good work for the town. Let all
representative business men who have
the interest of the town at heart join in
the movement. We have heard that one
or two suspicious citizens of the town
have expressed a belief, or fear, that
there was political purpose mixed up
somewhere in the organization. We are
quite sure that nothing was farther
from the intentions and aims of
the original promoters of the
move. Certainly it would be a ca
lamity for a iy designing persons to use,
or attempt to use, the Board OF Trade to
further any political purpose. 1t is not
and should not be, Il political organiza-
tioE iu any sens of the word; and we
do not believe that any one connected
with it thus far has the remotest idea of
diyerting the organization from its le-
gitimate course in any such way. The
fears are utterly groundless, and eman-
ate from those afflicted with morbid
vision of imaginary put up jobs" This
Board of Trade is nothing more than a
union of representative business men to
do in united, organized effort what no
individual could do alone for the benefit
of the town.
