PoRT TOWNSEND. Wash, Sept. L.
The steamer City of Topeka, which ar.
rived from Juneau, gives details of a
fierce battle between the Chilcat Indi.
ans which resulted in six men being
murdered and IA large numb Der wounded.
Tho Indians were drunk, and being
armed, did great damage to themselves.
A few days previous 10 tho fight two
Canadian sloops from British Columbia
arrived at Chilcat laden with n vile
quality of liquor. Large quantities.
were soon disposed of In exchange fos
furs, etc. Then began a scene of saw
age orgy.
The Indian are naturally savage and
hostile, and when affected by whisky
become wild demons. Immense fires
were started and several hundred Indi-
ans assembled to drink liquor and
dance.
Toward morning a dispute arose over
a trivial matter which resulted in the
leader of one faction being stabbed to.
death. The Indians then divided into
two parties and n battle commenced.
The two whisky smugglers. unobserved,
slipped away from the scene.
No white people know the incidents
of the battle. Settlers living Il few
miles distant heard yelling, and. sur
missing the origin of the trouble, dared
nfec In the AZ ttrrnoonoor trc 'neSu utfy,t
They beheld Il sickening sight. Dead
and wounded Indians were lying
all around the village. Some were
frightfully mutilated and others were
sugering agonies from their treatment.
A small band of survivors, elated with
their success and thirsty for more
blood, had gone down the beach,
threatening to return and embark q
crew of savages and annihilate the
white settlers in the vicinity. The
white people became alarmed and sem
to juneau for assistance.
just bcore the Topeka sailed Deputy
Collector Of Customs Slater and IA posse
had arrived on the steamer Wrestler
and started for Chilcat to arrest the
smugglers, seize the liquor and sloops
and quiet the Indians.
The Chilcat Indians are a hostile
tribe. Only during recent years have
they permitted the white traders to en-
ter their country. Frequently they in
terfere with minors crossing the divide
into the Yukon country. On several
occasions the governor has had to send
q revenue cutter there to suppress dis
turbances. All this spring, on differ
ent occasions, two unknown white men
coming down the coast in open boats
were robbed and murdered. There are
now two or three Indians in the Sitka
Jail charged with murders.
The Chilcats believe in witchcraft,
and several women have been put to
death in recent years charged with be.
ing witches.

lin ami Captain Hooper of the Rush.
The letters. which are dated st. Paul's
Island, August q, state the assistant

inspection to the Pribyloff islands, eX-
pected TO reach Port Townsend on the
9Th of September and Washington
about tel days later. Captain Hooper
in his letter says the North American
Commercial company has already
taken about 5000 seals, and il is
the expectation that 10. 900 additional
will he taken before the season closes.
This would indicate hat authority has
been given the company 10 take the
maximum (20,000) number of skins,
conditionally granted by the secretary
before the season opened. Captain
Hooper also says there are many poach-
ers in Bering sea, all armed with spears,
and it is assumed that they have had
II profitable season, as the weather has
been favorable.
Reports from the Yukon river show
that n great mining boom is in prog

piece of cloth. which was her wrap, put
it on and went out and looked through
the nearest drinking places, but he was
not there.
Then she came back. thinking he

into the basement. the place looked 10
TO her strained, tired eyes as it were II

entered the room. Three mel were

an instance she had pushed them aside,
and was on her knees by the one being

"Ycr've kilt him! yer've kilt him!"
she said, rushing ut them in a blind
fury and beating wildly with her hands.

Hes mine, he's mine; and yer've

Then another tried TO quiet her, and
told her that an Italian had stabbed him
in a saloon. mistaking him for some one
else, and that they could not bring him
home, because he could not tell them
where he lived. At last they had been
able TO understand him, and-yes, they
thought he must be dying.
She went back and stood by him,
and he opened his eyes and looked her.
She saw hat he tried TO speak, so she
knelt again, with her hands clasped
convulsiyely before her.
