SUNK In THE SOUND.
THE PUGET SOUND STEAMER
BUCKEYE LOST.
twenty Passengers Thought to Have
Gone Down with Her. Most of Whom
We're Ladies on Pleasure Trip.

SEATTLE, WASH, March Cit is ru-
mored here tonight that the steamer
Buckeye went down in the sound be-
tween Edmunds and Appleree's Cove,
with twenty passengers, last night.
The rumor cannot be confirmed, as
there is no telegraphic communication
with Edmunds, and the place cannot be
reached tonight. The story is that the
Buckeye, which is a small steamer,
went into Edmunds yesterday afternoon,
loaded with cabbages and other
vegetables. The captain invited a
party to go with him on a trip
across the sovnd. About twenty, the
majority of them ladies', accepted the
invitation. The boat had reached the
middle of the sound about dark, when
storm arose. For an hour there was a
heavy gale. A grader on the Northern
near Edmundsl is reported as saying
that he saw a light bobbing on the
water for an hour or more, and then dis
appear. The boat did not return to Ed
munds last night. and this morning
near that place large number of cab
bages and some wreckage could be seen.
The story was brought by the steamer
Idaho, which touched at Edmunds this
morning.

nothing.
Councilman McGarry criticized the
fact that it took one man to oversee the
work of four pick-and-shovel men.
Councilman Innes wanted to know
whether the street superintendent was
above the council. The little breeze was
finally calmed over, and hereafter the
street superintendent will keep daily
bulletin in his office, giving the locality
OF the various gangs, with the name Of
the foremen and the number of men
employed.
On motion of Councilman McGarry,
the report of the zanja committee, which
failed to pass at the last meeting, rec
ommending that zanja be p;ped across
Ninth street to the land of Messrs.
Hellman and Childs, the owners to pay
half the expense, was reconsidered. A
vote was taken and the report was
adopted.
Mr.. McIlmoil addressed the council
relative to the widening of Sixth street.
He thought that if the street should be
abandoned, that the council should pay
the expenses thus far incurred.

allowed $25 for expenses.
Councilman Summerland made mo-
ton that w. @. Lockwood be paid the
money due him from the city. He
stated that the city attorney had given
the opinion that the city was liable for
the money. There was no second to the
motion. The majority of the council
men held that the finance committee
was capable of attending to the matter.
The street superintendent was or
dered not to issue any more permits to
connect with the outfall sewer. The
granting of any more permits would
food the lower part of the city.
The sewage of the Philadelphia brew
cry came in for consideration. During
the discussion Councilman Reese made
the statement that if they did not treat
that concern like the rest that the re-
port would get out that they had been
purchased for barrel of beer.

= SAN FRANCISCO, March ga few days
ago the case against the Fruityale Fruit
and Wine company of Fresno, for putting
unstamped brandy in sweet wines, was

while the distilleries are located out OF

A Panther Adventure.
THE FIRST ONE BAGGRD ON DUTCH MOUNTAIN
IN NINETEEN YEARS.

The story OF an exciting adventure
comes FROM Fork township, Sullivan
county, where the nrst panther killed on
Dutch Mountain since 1872 was laid out
by party Of hunters recently c. G..
Wisner was riding on horseback through
the Ovington woods on Tuesday night
when he heard wha. he thought was the
cry Of child behind him. The cry grew
fainter and he turned towards it, but the
fog was so thick he could not see the
hores's head, and he resumed his journey
up the crooked snow path. AT the next
turn in the road the cry again burst on
him, and he realized that he hid been
following the cry of some strange animal.
Amos Mcintosh, an old hunter who lived
in a house at the edge Of the woods, re-
cognlzcd the cry as that Of q panther.
lie said he l. al not killed a panther for
eighteen years, and could hardly wait
until daylight.
The next morning Wisner, Mcintosh
and four others started out on the trail of
the panther, which they struck in mar
row gorge. They had five dog with
them and it was not long before the pack
stopped at fallen .hemlock lying near
the roots If an upturned tree. They
reached the tree simultaneously, then
turned like lightning and filed back,
covering to heel.
"lts under there sure as shootin',"
yelled Mcintosh, and the dogs were ord
cred to bring the game out. They made
brave dash under the hemlock and
found the panther at home. They all
came rolling out in bunch with the
panther on top, and two of the dogs
hides badly ripped. Then the beast leap
ed back to shelter before the men had
| time to shoot The three uninjured dogs
again tackled the panther, and again two
OF them were badly torn by the vicious
beast. This time six bullets put an end
to The panther's life, but not before four
brave dogs had preceded him. The
panther was thin and poor, but rs he lay
in the snow measured fully feet 6
inches. 1t is thought the animal wand
