Last Thursday evening Supt. Geo.
| Simpson, of the Blakely road, had
| warrants issued for a party of timer
ant religious cranks, which were sup
posed to have placed distractions on
the track which derailed the engine on
Wednesday. While no serious dam
| age was done it was desired to make
an example of them. Sheriff Cald-
we'll had the party arrested at Elma
and the following day brought them
to Shelton, where they are now in
Jail. The strangers gave the names
| Ewell and c. w. Curtiss and his little
boys, Fred and Perry. They are
travelling fakirs,-or wandering
cranks, and claim to represent the
new and lateral house of Israel"
and have lots of literature to back it,
as well as some cheap solder, cement
and other ictas. The party plead not
guilty on examination before Judge
Dunbar, but were held to appear
before Superior Court. Tuesday the
boy Fred, about II years old, admitted
that he had placed the wood and
| stones on the track, as he had seen
the boys do on tine tracks in Seattle,
to see the cars jump and rattle. He
claimed it was done while tagging
behind the others and that they were
not aware of his actions.
Engineer M. Stixrud, of Seattle, has

will be completed as soon as possible.
S. G Simpson was examining the
grounds, and deciding on the location
of the new camps of the Simpson
Logging Comply. They expect to be-
gin hauling logs in about two months,
and next spring will have at least
three big logging camps on this rail-
road. The railroad company has also
purchased about five miles of iron, of
a defunct railroad proposition, near
Anacortes, and these rails are expect
ed next week.
