THE WHOLE MATTER EXPLAINED From THE
SEAT OF WAR.
| EohKS PRAIRIE, Clallam Co, W. T., !
December 23d, 1886.
PORT TOWNSEND ARGUs:-On the 10Th
OF December, young man with bay
hair, riding horse of the same coloi
with ball face, Singing mud like q
Texan steer. came to this Prairie and
stated the Indians had declared war.
| As soon as the orderly had filed his car
fridge box with ammunition, consisting G
OF pork aud potatoes, he started for the
seat OF war, which was at Lapush. i
few hours later q second orderly came for
| reinforcements. Then the good citizens
became soldiers and hastened to where
the cuntending armies were collected.
The soldiers saw the elephant from the
key of his trunk to the end OF his tail.
Some said the elephant had been struck
on the tail by lightning, driving the tail
through, which caused him to have two
tails, or one at each end.
The Indians tale is that the school
master punished one of the Indian
children, and the Indians wanted to
have Il talk with him about Furnishing
the boy.
The white mans tale is this: While
the schoolmasier was walking with his
dulcina assistant teacher) the Indians
surrounded him and threatened to give
him pounding for Furnishing the Child.
Now ace think it is time the Quillayuie
Indians are moved west and let grow up
with the country when they have the
audacity TO interrupt the schoolmaster
while strolling with his girl. II the
Indians are not removed what encour-
agement viii our mothers have to raise
BOYS for the girls if they are always to be
interrupted in this manner? If the
Indians are permitted to associate with
the schoolmaster and we lend our coun-
tenance to such things, they will soon
become qualified TO hold offices of Quill
layutte precinct. When Klack-G-Buck
is candidate for constable, and Kdk-
Iaski for justice OF peace, We will hear
some young man say 1 will not vote for
those candidates for they interrupted me
at certain time, and it stingeth me in
the heart like thousand reedIes did
when sat down Oh mas pincuShion.
am personally acquainted with the
schoolmaster, and when he is in repose
he is as quiet as e. lamb. but when he is
talking with his best girl--------
In times past the Indians after having
had any difficulty with the whites, have
paid the whites for tho return of their
friendship. On one occasion they gave
white man horse. The Indians have
been accused of stealing cattle, and have
been made to pay for them. on one
occasion they paid for five head which
the owners afterwards found but did
not refund the money. Many such little
acts have caused i'll feelings toward the
whites; but the Indians had no intention
of doing any harm or committing depre-
dations, they have got over their excite
ment and our soldiers have returned
home, and once more are peaceable |

Quite in contrast with the general
spirit of revelry and good cheer
comes the news that poor fellow
liIIviing in a small house in the western
part OF town comitted suicide this
morning by shooting himself. He
had been en- u spree for q week or
two, we are told; and 1t was probably
remorse that drove dim to the fatal
act. From n hurried inquiry we
learn that the unfortunate mans
name was John Thop, that he was a
native of Denmark, aged 80 years,
single, and that he was mate of the
schooner Maria E. Smith on her last
trip to Honolulu. He is said to have
had an uncle living in Oakland, Cal.
