itself to the queer course Of ''indider-

INDIAN MURDEaKp.-Yesterday after
noon George Bu-chell. while work. NO
on the boom at Port Blakely, discovered
the body Of Indian George Iyinc ON the
bank. at the south end OF the long
bridge acroes the bay at that place. He
at hrst supposed that George, (who for
several years has been employed about
the MILL had fallen of the bridge and
killed himself. but on making an exam
ination, discovered that his skull had
been crushed in. The coroner held an
inquest, and 10 was found that the In
dian had been literally beaten to death.
An inquiry vas set on foot TO find thu
guilty parties, and IL vas found that
last Sunday evening three other Indians
Tommy, Paddy and Johnny two IF
whom were employed in the mill. and
one by MT. Hornbeck, at Eagle Harbor.
went across the island and bought two
bottles OF whisky. After getting hack
20 the rancherie, across from Port
blakely, they lost one OF their bottles,
and imagined that George had stolen ID.
they found George ON the bridge, and
demanded that he give the bottle up to
them. he told them he did not have il,
when they set upon him, and after kill
ing him threw the body over the bridge.
The three Indians implicated in the
murder we're arrested, and practically
confess their crime, though each tries
70 swear u on the other. Wm. Malcolm.
deputy sheriff Of kitsap county, brought
the murderers 10 Seattle last evening.
and placed them in the King count,
jail, where they will remain until the
inesting Of the next grand Jury.

of rumors for month past of great
contracts for lumber being given by the

that 10000. 900 feet were wanted, also
200,o00,0Oo feet, and even as high AZ
800. 000.000 feet, and that arrangements
had been made for its supply. No long

orders for 100000 feet had been re.
ceiyed and divided among four of the
mills. Of all the rumors referred to the
only one really true Is that published

Senator Thomas F. Bayard, of Del
aware, and Col. VIM. F. Villas, of Wis
consin, were the first two prominent
democrats to go to Albany to consult
with President elect Cleveland. A
man is known by the company he
keeps, and it augurs well for Cleve-
lands future administration that he
should show a disposition to consult
with such men as Bayard and Villas.
Senator Bayard is one of the purest
and most high minded of American
statesmen, past or present, and
although a sound democrat, has
always stood stoutly by his own
firm convictions even though when
in the minority in his party
councils. And Col. Villas owes the
proud distinction which he occupies
as a democratic leader, more to a
fearless expression of sound views
upon live issues, and an earnest
demand that his party dress up to
the line of principle, than to his
matchless oratory. Drawing around
him the best democratic leaders is
only another evidence of Mr.. Cleve-
lands good judgment, which will
give to the country one of the best
administration America ever had.

1t was a noticeable fact that when
ever and wherever General Fair
child addressed few republicans
during the late campaign, shortly
thereafter Col. John Spooner would
appear in the midst of them. The
General with far more zeal than
sense or logic attempted to show
what evils would follow democratic
ascendency; but in nearly every
instance the Colonel would go him
one better, and there were not in all
Wisconsin two men who appeared
to have less hope for the. country
in the event of democratic success
than these eminent patriots. The
campaign is over and the friends
of Fairchild and Spooner are now
trying to settle the point as to which
one Of them is most entitled to sit
in Senator Cameron's seat. Spooner
followed Farichild closely during
the campaign and is still keeping
well up with him in the race for the
senatorship.
