BALLARD CITY POLITICS.
Republicans and Populists Put Tickets
in the Field.

The city of Ballard now has political
campaign to excite public attention, three
tickets having been put into the field.
Last Tuesday evening the Democrats
named ticket. A non-partisan ticket
was at first proposed to put against the
weak ticket of the Democracy, but this
idea seems to have been given up. for last
night both the Republicans and Populists
met and named full tickets. The tickets
are as follows:
Republican ticket-Mayor, A. +. Pretty; treas.
urer, r. I. Hawley; assessor, Frank sprague;
health officer. George T. Holden: couEcilmen,
two-year term, A Looney, Sidney z. Becker,
George Startup; at large, NJ. Zccrwenka; one
year term, T.. A Aud
Peoples party ticket-Mayor, Thomas II.
Smith; treasurer, John Keane; assessor, Hans b.
Petersen: health officer, w. Middleham; coun-
cilmen, two-year term, w. II. Vernon. A Nc
Donald, Thomas Winsor: at large, +. G. Shurt-
lift; one-year term. W. F. McDay.
The Republican ticket is very strong
one, being composed of men whose inter-
ests are in the town and who will work for
its upbuilding.
The Populist ticket is not weak by any
means, and is UNNECESSARILY stronger than
the Democratic ticket.

WITH A ROPE OF HAY.
Means Used by an Old Fisher
man to End His Life.
RUM.SOAKED AND FRiENDLESS.
An Unnamed scandinavian Found Dead,
Hanging From tho Door OF
Water Front Fish Stall.

Scandinavian fisherman, whose name
is not known. hung himself in very
peculiar manner in little shanty at 5l7
Commercial street yesterday.
The place had been used as fish market
by Fred Luden, a fish peddler, until 2 few
days ago. when Luden sold his fishing
outfit to w. g. Paulson. Yesterday morn
ing Paulson got the key and went down to
open up the shack. On entering he saw
the body Of the fisherman, who had
worked for Luden, hanging from door
on the inside. He ran out and brought in
another man and they cut the body down.
II was still warm and there was rattle in
the throat, but the last spark fed before
medical aid could be summoned.
The I.eans employed to accomplish this
end were novel in the extreme. The rope
used was MADE of hay. One end had been
made fast around the neck and then loop
formed which was hung on the corner OF
the door. The door was not much more
than six feet high, but the victim had
thrown his legs out from under the body
30 the weight came on the rope.
Nothing was found which would indi-
cate his name, nor did any person in the
vicinity know his name. although several
knew him by sight. The proprietor of a
saloon across the stree. said he had fire.
guently had occasion to kick him out Of
his place as nuisance, but he had never
learned his name. Luden probably knew
his name, but he could not be found. He
was about 40 years of age and evidently an
old whisky soak. He had worked off and
on for Luden for about two weeks and
was speaking to Paulson the evening be-
fore, having asked him for money. Paul
son gave hin cents and says he looked
verv downcast.
The body was taken to Bonney & Stew
arts undertaking rooms. II is probable
no inquest will be necessary.

INVESTIGATING A TRAGEDY.
Fort Rupert Indians Charged With
Killing Eighteen Native Fishermen.

New WESTMINSTER, Nov. % Special.
The loss of eighteen Indians from
O-Were- kayNo at Rivers inlet, off Cape
Riott, last summer is still q mystery
Some of the Indians think that they met
with foul play at the hands of other In
dams who were sealing in the vicinity.
Charles Todd, Indian agent at Metlak-
hatla, was at Rivers inlet last week with
the government steamer Eigilant, making
inquiries into the matter. He is by no
means satified with the drowning theory,
and though it is rather late in the Gay will
cause 4 thorough investigation to be made
few days before the party was missed
several crews of Fort Rupert Indians were
sealing outside the Rivers inlet, and there
has always been deep hatred between the
two tribes. When this party of eighteen
went out and took hand in sealing it is
believed the Ruperts attacked them and
murdered the party. sinking the boat in
deep water and carrying away the canoes.
The strangest part of the affair is that no:
a vestige o: the outfit carried by the Rivers
inlet Indians has ever been found, and an
almost continuous search has been made
ever since The Fort Rupert ranches will
be searched for evidence

the Empress of China to Vancouver, d. c.,
came here yesterday en- route for Seattle
and San Francisco. They were stopped
at the line by Immigrant Inspector Sny-
der and sent back via the Canadian Pacific
to Vancouver, On the ground of having
been brought to this country for immoral
purposes.
Inspector of Customs w. L. Meredith
last night arrested two japanese girls,
who came in on the steamer Monticello.
The order for their arrest came from Col
lector A. WATSON. but Deputy Collector
ID. A. Mckenzie said he did not know the
reason for the arrest of the girls. but pre-
sumed it was on the ground that they
were being brought here for immoral pur-
poses.
The girls are direct from Japan and
speak quite good English. They said
they had been educated at a missionary
school. One of them claimed to have a
husband here. They were taken to the
Occidental hotel to remain over night.
One gave her name as Tatta Comma and
the other Hanna. Mr.. Mckenzie did not
know where they got on the steamer. but
presumed at Port Angeles or Port Towns
end iThey evidently belong to the num-
Der lust Brought over on the Canadian Pa
cific steamer.

presumably from Victoria or Port Towns
end. 1t is probable these women will also
be arrested.
