A SQUAW'S CLAIM.
1t Involves the Site of
Everett City.
The Case Before the Circuit Court
of Appeal-Fiistory of a Town
That Was Doomed.

The United States Circuit Court OF Appeal
VIII soon decide whether the Indian suuaw
Josephine Hatch or the Everett Land Company
composed Of wealthy capitalists owns the site
OF Everett City. Snohomish County, Washing
ton. The case was argued before the Judges
yesterday. and was subsequently submitted on
briefs.
Where Everett City now stands was track
less waste five years ago. The lumbermen had
left 1t bare, and the agriculturist saw in it
nothing to tempt him 10 linger. But one day
boomer, pro m oter of schemes, visited the I'M
inviting spot, and saw at glance that it was
just The place for city. Piece after piece the
land was bought up until nothing remained
but 240 acres owned by the sQuaw Josephine
Hatch and her children.
The woman W Chinook, unable to sneak
read or write English. and her children were
almost as illterate as herself. Tie land was
left TO her by her husband. and one E. G. Fer
guS0n was executor OF the estate and guardian
OF the minor children. Henry Hewitt was the
boomer. and he ana the executor became inti-
mate. The latter soon obtained power of at
t0rney from the squaw and sold the land 10
Hewitt Tor SO an acre. Then the boom was
brought forth and began TO spread Itself like
the banyan OF the Indian jungle. The Everett
Land Company was organized with Hewitt as
president. Three mills ana big hotel were
built, and railroad made the newborn town a
station Land values doubled in day, and six
months after the squaw sold her 240 acres for
$4,000 they were bought by Mr.. Hewitts cor
pOration for S125,000.
The indian widow and her children then tried
TO recover their lost Inheritance They brought
suit against Hewitt, Ferguson and the Everett
Land Company in the United States District
Court, alleging that the title 10 the land had
been obtained from them by fraud. They as
serted that the squaw, when she made her
cross on the power of attorney obtained by
Ferguson did not know the nature OF the docu.
ment, and that at the time she had no desire to
part with the property. Other allegations OF
fraud In connection with the transfer of the
land were made, but the court decided against
the widow aud she appealed 10 the higher

SOME RAW WORK.
Evident InCendiarism on
Jackson Street.
Attempt to Burn Chinese Cigar
Factory Quickly Fooled by
the Department.

One OF the bodest attempts at inceudarism
which has come TO light In this city for some
time past was brought to the attention of Fire
Marshal TOwe last evening. Owing to the
lateneSs OF the hour thorough cross. examina.
tion Of the parties concerned was found i'm
possible, although the matter will be thoroughly
looked into to-day.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock au alarm was turned
IN from box Is. at the corner of Sansome and
Jackson streets, for FIRE located in Chinese
cigar factory which occupies two-story brick
building at 534 Jackson street.
When the Fire Department arrived on the
scene dense volume Of smoke was pouring
through the front entrance. The odor OF coal
oil was so distinct that but little doubt as to
the origin OF the blaze was entertained.
There was little difficulty experienced In
subdulng the flames, which had gained but
little Roadway, after which Captain Comstock
commenced his investigation.
1t was found that the fire had originated in
TWO distinct rooms, and the manner in which
the infiammable oil had been scattered promis-
cuousiy about was conclusive In itself of incen.
dlarlSm.
Bundles OF partially burned rags. which b G
evidently been saturated with The oil, were also
discovered In the front room. which was badly
damaged, while IN the rear division of the store
soaked mattress had evidently been used to
kindle the blaze.
The captain Immediately sent for Fire Mar
shall TOwe, who, upon arriving on the scene
examined the place with the same result
In The meantime, however. a Cbinaman who
said he was employed in the factory put In an
appearance ana gave information regarding the
proprietors OF the place. He said that WOh
Hoo and Che Chow had recently purchased the
plant, and, as far as he knew. they were heavily
Insured.
He and number OF other Mongols who had
also assembled about the place were sent after
the two prOprietors, but returned with the In.
formation that they had both refused to move
ana when an officer was detailed 10 their plac
Of residence in Chinatown neither could be
found.
John Childers, special officer who resides In
lodging house adjoining the factory said that
as he was descending the stairway leading into
jackson street he heard two successive explo-

ing the sidewalk saw TWO Cinnamon making a
hurried exit from the factory. Closing the door
behind them they darted up the street to-
gefher. A moment aflerward he discovered
smoke issuing from The place and put in the
alarm. Harry Bradley, who was with ChiIders
at the time, eOrrOborates this story
Special Offlcer Joseph Gilien, who was on
the scene long before the department arrived,
says hat the Pickering flames which he OBJ
served in two different places and the strong
oily OdOr left no doubt in his mind as to the
origin of he fire.
The name of the owner of the building could
not be ascerIained nor the exact amount of
insurance carried on the STOCK. The entire
damage will not exceed $500.

fEnoch Emery, who has for many years been
resident of the Cars domain, left for his
Massachusetts home last evening for brief
visit. ON his way 10 Moscow, which he expects
10 reach within thirty days. Mr.. Emery is a
native of Cape Cod, but Tor the past twenty
seven years has resided in Russian territory.
He has five stores in the Valley OF the Amo or,
though lie makes his home in Moscow.
His mercantile business necessitates frequent
trips from Moscow to Eastern Siberia. His last
journey was made partially by rail, partly by
steamers on The ODE and AmO0r rivers and
partly In his own private conveyance.
He left Moscow June IL and arrived In this
city three days ago, crossing the fun length OF
SIBERIA TO NladiVOStOck, and taking steamer
thence TO Yokohama, and from that point to
this port.
In speaking Of the reported dangerous illness
OF tie Car, Mr. Emery said: 81 40 not believe
the reports are true. do not think the Car is
dangerously Ill. As com mercial man

tons have been slight compared with what

country Tor an American. He declares that

granted. and that the Cars Government is a

unanimously. These men are the fates
that pursue Mahoney. These are the men
who shout hardest for his election. Photo
graphs of few of them are obtaineble.
Chief Crowley has the onlv ones of some
Of them. and he needs them in the gallery.
Some of the detectives have been kinder,
and they furnish word pictures that are
not bad.
William Levion is the man who placed
Mahoney's name before the delegation.
He did more. He even went SO far as TO
say that his friend Jerry Maboney twas
IN de push all right, see?" William used
to be Democrat once in Fresno. one of
the anti-McWhirter crowd.
George Licht is another of the men who
supp 'rted the nomination. While he is
not hobnobbing with the impeccable Ma
honey in the "oilroom" of Colonel Dan
Burns he superintends the Palace dive at
Grant and Post streets. The place is a
resort for he dizziest of blondes and the
most bedizzened of brunettes.
John Crowley is another who helped
nominate Mahoney. He is the keeper of
what the police call ''the notorious Rosale
dive" at Is Mason street
"Sltm" johnson fairly dotes on MahoDey,
and was one of the representative citizens
who nominated the Senator. Mike Flynn is
another one of the same stripe. He voted
for Mahoney, too.
Then there was Fat Jack O'Conpor, a
most notorious political heeler. What
purity" he hasn't seen in politics would
Nil the bottomless pit. Incidentally Jack
Sings gin for living.
Ed Mclaughlin was there. Eddie voted
for Jerry.
Phil Dolan did the same. He isn't bad
fellow either, although ne is credited with
having done something in the professional
bond line.
And lastly, but not least, among the
warm friends and supporters of the impec-
cable Mah0ney were d. S. Dorm and A. F.
Johns. The charges made against these
beautiful Christians and political purists
by Henry b. Mayo are SO recent that it is
hardly necessary to recall them. Nor is it
necessary either TO recall how the conven-
ton upon which Burns pulled the strings
ana Mahoney worked the jaws passed
these charges over. Could it have been
possible that Mahouey knew these men
were going to vote for lin, were going to
nominate him, going to join together:
Doodle and Mahoney! Mahoney and
Doodle!
He really is an unfortunate man, isn't
he-the impeccable Mahouey.
