them crazy. Captain T. j. Doyle OF
the steamer Quickstep had a novel
experience yesterday with crowd OF
drunken Indians. The Quickstep IS
employed IN towing fishing-boats for
Myers' cannery. When he arrived at
Tacoma, where The fishermen have
bern at work for some time, he found
that two OF the seines had left for Nes-
qlaily, between Steiiaeoom and Olym-
pa. The others wanted 10 70 also,
an. the steamer took them in tow.
"On arrival at SteilacoonI," said the
e0piaiE, I'VE found the Indians who
had preceded US. They reported that
they had been 10 Nesqually but found
no iish, They wanted 20 return to Ia
