STORIES OF .TILToS SHEETS.
Sam Crawford Wrote Premature
Obituary of Him.

Obituary of Him.
James Tilton Sheets. who died al Friday
Ha-bor last Wednesday morning was well
known in this city and many interesting
stories are told concerning him. He was
a nephew of General James 1ilton, OF the
United States army, who was at one time
prominently identified with Washington
politics.
Sheets was an cratic genius and loved
the woods and mountains. During the
building Of the Northern Pacific he was
employed by that company and was
placed at the head of their corps OF en-
gineers. The people Of Seattle were very
anxious 10 know what would De the terrni-
nus Of the railroad. It was reported that
Snoqualmie Pass would be occupied by
the railroad tracks. This would make
Renton the terminus. The entire situa-
ton was known to Mr.. Sheets and
whenever ne came TO the city he was be-
sieged by newspaper men; but he refused
10 tell his plans, and no amount of pump
ing would make him talk. Hewa always
very pleasant. however, and consequently
verv popular II remained for him 10 dis
cover Stampede pass.
The surveyor was well known TO Sam
anecdotes concerning him,
About ten years ago Mr.. Sheets lived on
his homestead. near Dungeness. One day
his hat was found n the bay near Dunge-
ness, and his upturned canoe was also
p:ckai up by Indians. He was nowhere
10 be found, and it was reported that he
had lost his life in the Sound during q
storm. Mr.. Crawford. who was then re-
up al obituary about half column long,
in which the many virtues Of the unfortu-
nate man were brought out. About three
weeks after the publication OF his obituary
Mr.. Sheets stalked into the newspaper Of
ice and said:
sam, would be willing 10 die again if could
get such another obituary g. the one you gave
me, Come ont and have bowl.
His canoe had been capsized during
storm. but he swain ashore. He was
found on the beach. more dead than alive.
by friendly Indians. who nursed him back
TO life and helped him to reach his home
stead.
For some time previous TO his death Mr..
Sheets was surveyor OF San Juan county.
i short time ago he made q survey Of
lot of claims for the settlers. but he never
made any report OF the survey 10 the sur
veyor-gene-al ct Olympia. His unex-
planned delay made the settlers very
angry. and short time ago q county
paper came out with column article
which was headed:
Way hasn't J. I. sheets reported He has 10:
yet seen the surveyor general! What esn BE tie
matter with him?
At the time the surveyor was very sick
AID was not expected 10 live. One day he
rallied little and was told about the news
paper article. He called for pen and ink
and wrote letter 10 the newspaper which
ran something ike this:
Mr. EDIIog: With reference 10 your article
OF few days ago concerning myself. Will ex-
plain my neglect TO report ct Olympia By saying
that have teen very sick. have been expect
ing 70 report TO Jesus Christ instead OF TO the
government expect to be able il 8 few days,
however, 10 give the matter immediate sttan-
ton.
Three DAYS later he was dead

A FIREMAN BADLY HURT.
Pipeman Schulz Injured in a Run to
Yesterday Morniny,s Blaze.

Harry Schulz, pipeman of chemical en-
CINE No .. was injured about the face and
chest during the run TO the fire at the cor
ner Of South Ninth and Charles streets
early yesterday morning. The front
wheels struck some obstacle al the corner
OF King and Ninth streets, throwing
Schulz, who was riding on the back step,
forward between the chemical tanks. He
managed TO cling on. or otherwise he
would have fallen 10 the ground and been
badly crushed. if not killed outright, by
the heavy engine. The excitement Attend
ing the IRE prevented him from realizing
his injuries. On returning 10 the engine
house he became SO faint and suffered
such pains through his chest that he was
taken 10 Providence hospital for treat
ment. The lett side of his face is bruised
and cpt about the eye. while his chm looks

THE KOorESAY COUNTRY.
Railroad Development for This Mining
Eesion-A Smelter.

]. VI. Keilie, the representative of the
kootenay district in the British Columbia
provincial parliament, is at the Grand no
tel. Mr.. Kellie, who has come 10 Seattle
70 spend short recess OF the parliament,
is largely interested in the kooIenay
mines. He said yesterday: The country
has been gong ahead slowly for some
years, but now it has reached the point
where progress may be comparatively
rapid. We expect that the Canadian Pa
cidc will build from Revelstoke TO the head
of Arrow lake. and it IS not unlikely that
the Spokane & Northern will be extended
up to Nelson. An eighty-ton smelter will
be put in on kootenay lake by practical
smelters and much OF the ore can be re-
duced TO bullion right there. Miners have
already begun TO swarm in, though the
SHOWS are still deep in the mountains"
Mr.. kellie has with him some beautiful
specimens of galena from his mines. the

York twenty years ago. He will then
have to answer thirty-two other indict-
nents for forgeries in various parts OF
the country. including those in this
CITY. Ever since his escape from
1siI twenty years ago he has been
living By the same kind of fraud, buying
real estate in ore place, horses in another
and something else in another, but always
getting his drafts cashed by the same
trick. His skill is such that he has en-
loved immunity from arrest until last year.
McGloch, who is one of his pupils, was
extradited from New York to Texas and
confined in the Waxahatchie jail TO await
trial, but afterwards escaped.
Garbutt was not captured until July 3,
1871, when Mr.. Lucas pounced upon him
on the fair grounds at Toronto, while the
races were in progress. Assisted
by influential friends among the
Canadian horsemen and by a liberal
expenditure Of money. he has been
carrying on desperate fight against his
extradition to Texas. On various pre-
texts he has had hearings IN habeas cor
pus proceedings before two judges. has tried
10 get ont on the ground OF an abb by de-
nying his identity, and has altogether
had his case before eight judges in Canada.
1t is charged that his attorneys have had
the covert assistance OF the chief clerk Of
the Canadian minister of justice, that
official having warned them by tele-
graph Of the warrant Of extradition.
The matter has been brought to the atten-
ton Of Secretary Blaine and has led to
some correspondence between him and the
Canadian government. II will come be-
fore the Canadian court of appeals at
Ottawa in May, when it is hoped that
final decision will be gwen.
GarDutt is evidently trying 10 weary the
bank into compromise. He has already
made offers of settlement, but these have
been rejected, and the fight will be con-
tinued until he is safe in an American jail.
Meanwhile the pursuit of the rest OF the
gang is being continued. One of them is
known to have committed forgery on the
Port Huron, Mich, bank for 5000. His
identity is known; so also is that Of the
man who acted in collision with Garbutt
and McGloch in Texas.

NO pRENcHISa-DosE: ONE TABLESPOONFUL.
TO escape from the building.

10 escape from the building.
As soon as night had settled Ike Bake
stole cautiously from the house, and
throwing himself upon his hands and
knees began to crawl slowly through
the long grass. He knew that the enemy
would be on the alert. and it would re-
quire the greatest caution and watchful-
ness on his part to enable him to pass
the lines unobserved.
In one hand he held a cooked pistol,
ready for instant use. Now and then he
would pause and listen, then crawl for
ward, keeping low in the grass.
Inside the inn the settlers waited with
breathless and painful anxiety the re-
suit of Eke's daring undertaking. Would
he succeed in making his way through
the lines of the enemy?
All was deathly stiffness in the inn,
and not whispered word was spoken.
while from the outside not sound came
to the expectant listeners save the low
murmur of the night wind as it stole
through the long grass.
Suddenly the sharp crack of a pistol
broke through the stiffness of the night,
instantly followed by three others in
rapid succession.
My God! they have killed him!' cried
Mrs. Riggsby in a choking voice, cover
ing her face with her hands and moan
ing aloud.

CHAPTER XI.

FANNYS RESOLvE-A VOICE IN THE NIGHT.
As the sharp report of firearms rang
out on the night air, the settlers who
had been waiting breathlessly in the
Travellers Fe=t rushed from the build
ing, pistols in hand, and hurried in the
direction from whence the sound of the
shots had proceeded. Scarcely had they
emerged from the house when they saw
several dark forms hastily falling back
across the prairie, and knew that it was
the cattlemen who had fired the shots.
Give it ter the murderers, boysr'
cried Simon Riggsby, and at the COM
mand the rapid crack of pistols broke
the stiffness Of the night, and a score of
bullets sped after the retreating forms
of the cattlemen. The fire was instantly
returned and the whiz of bullets sounded
about the settlers heads.
Then the form of man arose from
the grass in front of the settlers, stag
gered step or two and then went down.
Its Ike Baker, cried Simon Riggsby,
as they hurried forward and gathered
around the PROSTATE man. And so it
proved.
Strong arms bore the wounded man
back to the inn, where he was laid upon
bed and everything possible done for
him, but all saw that his wounds were
mortal and that ne could not last long.

Maddened at the sight of their dying
