w. ]. Gilliland, a merchant of East
Sound, was drowned at North Beach
on Sunday afternoon. He and a
companion named Charles Barker
were in a small boat, and in changing
their positions the boat was capsized
and both men precipitated into the
water, only short distance from the
shore. Barker seized hold of Gilliland,
who could not swim, and endeavored
to swim ashore with him. Gilliland,
however, broke away from Barker and
Immediately sank. His body was, re-
covered an hour and half afterwards
in II feet Of water. Gilliland had only
been married about five months, and
drowned in sight of his wife, who stood
on the shore. He was about % years
of age.
Alfred Cook, who died some time
ago in the hospital at Port Townsend,
was a native of Ohio and came across
the plains in 1877. After spending
several years in the then southern
part of Oregon, he started in the early
part of the year 1852, in company with
Albert Briggs. for the Sound country
with drove OF 80 cattle. They crossed
the Cowlitz river and drove their stock
to Tumwater at the head of Puget
Sound, where they embarked with
their cattle in boat OF their own
building, for the lower Sound, and
landed at Port Townsend. Cook soon
after returned to Oregon, which he
made his home, living in Eugene, I'M
til about five years ago when he re-
turned with his family. of whom two
sons survive him, to Port Townsend.
A most unusual sight in Fidalgo
bay was the appearance last week OF n
school of sharks, some OF which missed
their calculations by going too far up
the bay at ebb tide and being left high
and dry in the mud. One of these
monsters was seen and captured by j.
Compton, and when landed it measured
lOt feet long, weighed about $50!
pounds and yielded 10 gallons of oil.
Another one was sec1red by the
Collard brothers, it being eight feet
long and weighed about 500 pounds.
These sharks, however, are what are
known as mud sharks, and unlike the
sharks Of southern waters, have no
prediction for human flesh, but are
harmless. Oldtimers say
their visits to Fidalgo bay are very
rare, it being about eight years since
any were seen there before.

From our Regular Correspondence

In No Position TO CRITIcIsE.-
Under the heading of "School Book
Scandal" the Seattle Telegraph seems
disposed to censure Judge Root for his
motion to dismiss that case, notwith-
standing the County Attorney had set
forth as reasons that he believed it To be
utterly impossible to secure conviction
that the action has been SO long de.
layed, the witnesses were scattered,
and he had been unable to secure evil
dence that would justify the hope oil
. successful prosecution, and the ex.
penses would of necessity be excessive.
1t seems to us that if this be true, and
doubtless it was likewise the opinion
of the court that sustained the mo-
ton, Mr.. Root did simply his duty.
The costs in criminal cases, when
there is a failure to convict, falls upon
the county in which the action is
had, and the result would doubtless
have been to saddle several thousand
dollars in costs upon our tax-ridden
community. But does it not come
with a peculiarly refreshing grace
from a county that has declared
Unfug to be innocent. to prescribe
methods OF law for its neighbors?

AN OBJECTIONABLE LAW PRACTIcAL-
LY VoID.-Judge Gordon, last Tues
day, gave Auditor Moore the alterna.
tive OF recording the real estate con-
tract for sale of the Billings property
to o. C. Lacey, or give a supersedeas
bond for $4,000, if he concluded to
wait and see what the Supreme Court
thought of the matter. Mr.. Moore,
very properly concluded that it was
best to obey the mandate of the court
and the contract went upon the record
without the certificate of the Treasurer
tina; all taxes had been paid. There
does not seem to be much doubt but
that the higher tribunal will affirm
the decision of the Superior Court
that the statute is unconstitutional.
