at the mouths of two rivers and bay,
gives Aberdeen deep water frontage not
equaled by any city on the Sound or in
the state, and make it a natural
location for the building OF city.
The business portion OF the town is stu
ated on level apron OF land running
back from the river for a distance Of four
or five blocks, where it begins to rise by
a gentle slope to height of fifty to sew
enty-ffve feet above the water line; there
it maintains level plateau for an indef-
mite distance back, where the fine resi-
dence portion Of the city will undoubtedly
be built. From it a splendid view may
be obtained of the valley and the harbor
and the sanitary conditions are all that
may be desired.

Aberdeen, the lumberman's
Paradise.

OF the developed local resources tribu-
tary to Aberdeen, the greatest unques-
tionably is lumber. Grays Harbor re-
ceives the waters OF six rivers, which are
navigable by river craft and steamers for
long distance. On these river banks
stands the nobest growth Of fir, spruce,
cedar and hemlock timber ever found in
the civilized world. While it is impossi-
bic to even approximate the amount OF
timber in this belt, the most conserva-
tive estimate calls Tor one hundred and
fifty billion feet of merchantable lumbr.
Owing to the many streams which pene-
trate this forest, every acre of it may be
said to be located on good driving water.

OVERLAND.
From Texas to Aberdeen by Prairie
Schooner.

Messrs. johnson and Groshon, two Of
a party of thirty, arrived in Aberdeen las!
week from Texas. The original party
started out from Cook county, Texas, in
May, 1887, and grew in numbers as it
passed through the Indian territory and
Kansas. The route from Wichita Kan,
was through Sidney, Neb., Cheyenne
City, Wy, Rawlins and along the Bitter
Creek and Lodge Pole route to Boise City
Idaho.
The party would stop at the different
cities along the route and do sufficient
work to help ide them over to the next
place. The entire journey from Tex
as was made in wagons, and
took them six months to make the trip
to North Yakima, where they remained
two years and then came over here in
their wagons. Most Of the party stopped
at Wynoochie, only the two above men,
toned coming on down.
Those in the party were Mr.. johnson
and family, Mr.. Ballard and family, Mr..
Groshon and family and two families of
Newells.

KILLING OF CHEW.
Shot In the SherilI's Cffice at Friars
Point, by Hon. ]. ". Cu:rer.

From Mr.. B. r. Burwell, of Dan
vile, Va, who passed through
Friars Point Wednesday evening,
and MIR. H. w. Sessions, a promi-
nent citizen Of Friars Point, q re-
porter for lhe ElariOR Le3ger learn
ed The particulars OF the shooting
of Freelaud Chew, editor Of the
Nel0 CodhOmiaIs, at Friars Point, by
Hon. John w. Cutrer, Of Clarks-
dale.
In last weeks issue Of his paper
Chew had an article on the subject
of the Constitutional Convention,
and IN the course Of the article
said, in substance, that sin ante
bellum days no man who had ne
gro blooQ in his veins would run
fol an oflice.n
Wednesday, Cutrer, who is q
delegate 10 the Constitutional
Convention, and State Senator
nom Coahoma, went to Friars
Point. and walked into The sher-
ifs Office. The room is a small
one, with only one door, and Chew,
with the sheriff and one or two
other gentlemen, were sitting in
the office talking, when he came
in. Cuirer drew his pistol and
began firing al Chew as he sat III
his chair, mortally wounding him
in the stomach at the first shot.
Immediately after the shooting
the sheriff hurried Culrer 10 the
Tunica county Jail, as threats OF
lynching were heard on every
side. and the town was in sympa-
thy with Chew, who is reported a
brave and chivalrous young man.
The direct cause of the killing
was the article in Chew's paper
where i:ieElion was made Of a
man who had negro blood in his
veins.
The affair is very sad one, any
way it is looked at. Mr.. Chew was
married to a charming young lady
a Miss Chism, a few months since,
and every indication was that he
had entered uUon a bright and Use.
'ul career. lie was a cousin OI
DI. Chew who was killed about a
yem ago in Birmingham, and was
born and raised at Holly Springs
beng a nephew of Hon. Geo. NJ
Govan.
Mr. Cutrer has for many years
been a prominent factor in Delta
politics and nas represented Goa
homa county in the Legislature
and Senate. He came originally
from Osyka, where he still has
relatives; is one OF The brightest
young men eve At the University
Of Mississippi and graduated the
same session in The literary and
law departments, a feat that no
one else has ever accomplished,
and perhaps never will.

NEAR THE DANGER LINE.-Even
that very radical Republican
Journal, the St. Louis Globe Demo
crGt, has come 10 confess that The
party has reached very nearly the
danger line and expresses itself in
this wise: Even the most reck-
less and obtuse of the Republican
members of Congress should be-
gin to understand by this time that
the party in its management of
The fiscal affairs of The nation is
pressing perilously close 10 the
danger line. Several months ago
the Globe Democrat, in common
with few other leading Republi
can papers, began to point out the
breakers towards which the ship of
State was being permitted to drift.
Again and again we directed the
attention of the dominant party in
Congress TO the fact that the in
come of the government could not
meet its outgo ii appropriations
on The exiravagant scale in which
they were proceeding should be
kept up. These appeals. however,
were unheeded. Unnecessary and
exlravagant expenditures we're au-
lhorized as before, until, within
the past few weeks. there was a
fear that an extension would have
20 be asked by The government
+ and a temporary bankruptcy con
fessed."

ANOTHER KILLING.
A Quadrangni Z Duel In the Streets OF
Greenwood, Miss,

|
| GREENWOOD, July 31.-A terrible
shooliag aiI'ray between Messrs. I.
ii. Upshur and w. Z. Stoddard on
the one side, and Messrs. Jas, X.
Vardaman and Jim Money on The
other, occurred here to-day, in
" hIch Mr.. w. T. SgoddarI was i'll
slantly killed and Mr.. Jim Money
dangerously and probably fatally
wounded.
The shooting took place on the
pavement on The north side Of the
Delta Bank, and was The direct
outcome of an editorial in this
mornings Enterprise, Of which Mr.
JAS. *. Vardamau is The editor
and proprie or, denouncine IN un-
measured terms "the man who
would assassInate your character,
who would slyly and sneakingly
attempt with vile tongue, pen or
pencil, to besmirch The fair fame
of any man or body of men,"
stating that "such a man would,
when occasion permitted. stab you
in the back or shoot you in the
dark"
go charge, in stolen words, or
in borrowed pictures" The article
continued, "a man or body Of men
with receiving brides, or that he or
they would prostitute a public
trust to personal gain unless based
upon facts, is calumny dark, dam
nable and treacherous."
The editorial, while not making
any alluSiOns to any one in partic-
ular, was intended for MessrS. +.
II. Upshur and w. T. StOddard,
who one day this week IN a spirit
Oh mischief took copy of Light
IA pictorial publication published
a. Chicago, and which had a
dOuble-page cartoon caricaIurina
The eli Y council OF Chicago, head
Ell "McDonaldism," and under
marked, sin corrupt hands" and
showing the entire city council OF
that city to be i'll The hands OF Nc
Donald, anG erased The original
names and substituted The names
OF the city council of tins city and
all other city officials. but leaving
the McD0naldism. Mr.. j. S. Nc
Donald. president Of the Delta
Bank, is one oil the councilmen.
The whole thing was regarded
as huge joke until The appear
ance OF The above in The Enterprise.
when Messrs. Upshur and Slod-
dard called at the Enterprise Office,
but finding Mr.. VaIdIman out
they departed.
About half an h5ur arlerward
they started again 10 find him,
when they discovered him standing
on the pavement on the north side
of The Della Bank, conyersing with
Mr. jim Money, a cousin of his.
On Mr.. Stoddard asking Mr..
Nardaman as to whether he was
Inc author of the article and Mr..
Vardaman replying in the afIirma-
live, Mr.. Sloddard slapped his
face, when Mr.. Money commenced
shooting al Mr.. Sloddard, and 9th
ers state that it was Mr.. Varda-
man who fired the first shot Mr..
Sloddard was SHOT four times, be-
ing killed almost Instantly. Mr..
Money was shot IN both legs. HIS
recovery is doubtful.
A sad feature OF The killing of
Mr.. Stoddard Is the untimelv death
of his sister, Mrs. SaIlIe w. Rey
nolds, which occurred last night
at Shannondale, in this county.
Her remains were brought 10 town
just about the time her brother
hreathed his last. They were both
buried IRON the house Of their
aged and sorrow-stricken parents

| One evening aCout SIX years
ago, during the month Of July, a
small band Of Indians were en-
camped upon The island wht reon
had lived aud died The sacred
sheep. The ever encroaching
white man had usurped the heri-
tage Of the Indians, who now had
dwindled into a few families in
place Of The powerful lrlbe who
had once held undisputed sway IN
the land. The curse OF Mahingan
had been almost forgotten, and
that very evening as they sal
around the camp fire an old crone
with shaking head related to the
younger folk in substance that
which / have written above.
Among them stood a boy intently
lislenlng with a more than ordina-
nv interest. He was Il direct de-
scendant OF Manahchinty. Scarce
ly had she finished when fendsh
howl was heard in the bush close
by.
The Indians started to their
feet in fright and still another cry
awoke the echoes OF the summer
night at the same time an encr-
nous dog, with eyes like balls Of
fire, bounded into tae midst Of
them and, seizing the boy, the de-
scendant Of Manahctinty by the
throat, bore him 10 the ground.
Luckily one man at least, pre-
served his presence of mind. He
snatched his rifle from his tent and
with good aim sent IA bullet crash.
ing through the skull of the weird
beast. 1t was all over in mo-
ment and the boy rose up unhurl,
except for the wound in his throat
where the dog had seized him.
That night the Indians did not
sleep, but sal discussing the event
until daylight, when one Of them
took the carcass of the dog and
threw it TO the pigs Of white
man that lived close by. The pigs
made short work Of The dog and
soon had ii all deyoured except
the heart, which they left untouch-
ed and there it lay in the hot
summer sun for two consecutive
days, until. impelled by curiosity,
one Of the Indians examined it to
| find ont why the pigs would not
eat it. 1t seemed 10 be as hard as
a stone, and, impelled still further
by curiosity, he took his AK and cut
il in Two. What was his astonlsh-
ment at finding il nothing but a
solid lump OF ice. The discovery
spread like wildlire, and caused a
great sensation among Indian cir
cles.
The shally-headed crone at once
pronounced it TO be Mahingan and
assured The Indians that the ven
delta was ended by the death OF
the dog, or, rather, the second
death of Mahingan. Whether she
was right or wrong, the boy still
lives, nor has he experienced any
great and especial ill luck. So let
us hope that Mahingan's curse is a
thing of the past, a mystery snufed
ont by 4 "Winchester' with the
latest modern Improvements.
These things are hard to believe.
| myself doubted if they were
true and expressed those doubts TO
my informant, most respectable
and pious Indian, as Indians go. |
even dared TO laugh, but he Ieas-
sured me Of their truth and rebuk-
ed me for laughing, saying: ut is
not right Ia laugh at such solemn,
sacred things"
