O'Clock this morning. and going up to Po-

O'Clock Saturday afternoon, shot and
killed an Indian. In telling the story
Carlson said he was working about his
place when canoe-load of Indians rowed
up. Tley landed, and one, who appeared
to be the leader of the party, asked him
what he (Carlson) would give for good
looking kloochman. Carlson says he told
the native that he had no use for such
piece OF property. The Indians then be-
came angry. and one of them picked up an
ak laying close BY.
Carlson then fired, killing the red men.
He had walked the distance to this city
and was in sorry plight when he reached
here. He had on new pair of shoes,
without soles. and his feet were in hor-
rible condition. It being Sunday ana the
telegraph offices at both Port Bakeley and
Port Ludlow being closed, no word could be
had from the scene of the crime. The Off
GERS here do not, however. take much stock
in Carlson's story. He is now in the
county Jail. Coroner Wyckoff will prob
ably go to the scene for the purpose of
holding an inquest tomorrow.

LA CONNER, Aug. 3.-Captain Symmonds,
OF Portland, engineer in charge OF the
rivers and harbors of the Pacific North
west, who was recently sent out by the war
department. to investigate the Seattle &
Northern bridge over the Swinomish slough
below La Conner, was in La Conner after
his inspection of the bridge and was ac-
companied by Captain jefferson, of the
snagboat Skagit, and Colonel J. c. Haines,
attorney OF the Seattle & Northern. A
conference was held between Colonel
Haines and leading citizens of La Conner,
to see if some agreement could not be
arranged between the town of La Conner
and the railroad company.
The Colonel. representing the company,
offered to dredge the slough so as to i'm
prove the passage of the draw. The citi-
zens unanimously and emphatically re-
fused the proposition and would except
nothing but the removal of the present
bridge and the construction of draw at
right angles with the slough. The meeting
revealed the temper of the people in this
matter. Col. Haines remarked privately
after the meeting to B. L. Martin and
others that he supposed that the draw
would have to come out.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.-The new cruiser
San Francisco made her first preliminary
trial trip on the bay this afternoon. She
steamed for five hours at an easy rate OF
speed, and according to the statement of
her builders the trip was a thorough sue
cess in every way. No attempt

the new machinery preliminary test. Her
speed under half pressure with the engines
making maximum OF sixty-six revolu-
tons per minute, was ten knots an hour.

will probably not start to Santa Barbara

His Appetite Is Good--A Curious LegaS

LEGAL
bubble.
AUBURN. N. Y, Aug. 3.--Kemnller spent
today quietly. He seemed to have good
appetite, ana ate three full meals.
A new point of law has been suggeeted
here by gentleman deep in legal lore. ~
is that the week beginning August ends
with Sunday. The warden has arbitrary.
power to defer Kemmler's execution until
Sunday. August 10. 1t is held that the
general law would intervene to prvent
the killing upon the ground that execution
of legal process upen Sunday Is not legal.
Directly at this point the case Is touchod
by that general principle OF Law that Il ~
sentence under which Kemmler Is expectsd
to be killed is void In part
it must be wholly void. Brought
to close application, the premises war.

kill Kemmler on Sunday Of the week desig.
mated, then it would be
illegal to kill him on any other day OF the
week designated. The situation, il u
held, would be different If Sunday intsr.
vened as a part of the seven days, because
it would then run with the week and be
part of the seven days constituting
the week. As the case stands.
the week in which the sentence
is to be executed will not
be legally complete because the week ends
with day void in law. Unless there is
some general law which may bridge this
point raised, the entire sentence, IL il
thought. win be null and void.
1t is now pretty certain that the execu-
ton will not take place on the first dav or
the week in which Kemmler has been
finally sentenced TO die. Undoubtedly
this has been his last Sunday On
earth, and doubtless no contradic-
ton will be challenged from
Warden Durston by the statement that be

In washing they merely used an old felt

on the squatters' claims. However. they
all agree to give the squatters quitclaim
deeds for their lots should the mining
claims hold good. There is much excite
