Meeting Held Yesterday With
Mr.. Hammond.
MATTERS so FAR SATISFACTORY
But Some Important Links Still
Lacking New Equipment for
Seaside Road Arrives.

The committee of twenty-one yester-
day held a meeting In the chamber of
commerce, at which Mr. Hammond was
present. The committee presented their
report OF subsidy on the east side, and
right of way furnished, together with the
bond for the unsecured right of way.
Mr.. Hammond stated that the right of
way matters were entirely satisfactory
and that the subsidy to east side prop
erty was in good shape with the excep-
ton Of one deed, which was lacking, and
which must come in. This deed is to
property OF one of the most prominent
citizens, and Mr.. Hammond expressed
the greatest confidence that the gentle
man would no longer stand in the way.
One OF the prominent members OF the
committee stated that he was surprised
at the unusual amount of patience ex-
hibCted by Mr.. Hammond, over the un-
called for delays on both sides of the bay.
Matters on the west side, where promi-
nent Astorians had large holdings, were
particularly vexatious. One gentleman
had given his deed but with a string
tied to 1t so that 1t made 1t doubtful
If he was to keep his contract at all.
Had all Of the others imposed such con-
ditions 1t might have been different, but
the others had not, and there was no oc-
casion for such condition, in his opin-
ion. The Flavel Land Co., about whom
many unldnd things had been said, were
the first to put in their deed to hundreds
Of acres, and had stood by the entire
proposition from its inception. Others
had promptly come to. the front, the
full list not now being accessible, but
Which will be given as soon as possible.
The gentleman thought that 1t was very
poor business policy for men to daily in
this manner, but believed that all would
realize the situation in q few days and
rapidly close their contracts.
Mr.. Hammond stated that ne would
commence work next week II the subsidy
matters were closed-that he would COM
mence work on the 18th IL the subsidy
deeds were turned in before that time.

RansOme Stokes Murdered and
Body Burned.
MINERS CELEBRATE AT WALLACE
Graves Of the Rioters of 1892 Deco
Northern Pacific Tun-
mel Being Repaired.

Seattle, July 11.-Sunnydale, sparse
ly settled community about eight miles
from this city, has been the scene of
fendlsh and mysterious murder.
Ransom Stokes, the victim, was a mid
die aged man, well educated, and able to
live without labor on money he received
from property in the East. OF late he
has been advertising for wife, and on
that account was at the postoffice fire.
quently.
Yesterday it was discovered that ne
had not been for his mail for ten days,
so a search WIS made. His house was
found locked, but on looking through the
window 1t was noticed that things were
in confusion. The people, knowing that
he was in the habit of bathing every
morning in a little creek that runs
through the woods some distance from
the house, went there Nothing was
found, but an odor was noticed coming
from the woods. A search resulted in
the discovery about one hundred yards
from the house, in the dense brush,
large pile of logs, roots, etc. Under one
side were the remains of fire which had
burned into the pile some distance. The
stencil from this heap was terrible, but
one Of the men got down on his knees
and looked through q hole and discov-
cred the remains of human being. The
coroner was immediately notified and
returned there this afternoon. He found
that the fire which had been set to the
pile was intended to burn up the remains
of Ransom Stokes. The face, hands and
neck were scorched, but nothing more.
On taking the body from Its place 1t |
was found that ten buckshot had been
fred into the mans back, piercing the
heart and lungs.
Suspicion rests on Fred Kindling and
Charles Kindling, two cx-convicts who
were neig1bors of Stokes and whom
Stokes said he had ordered off the place.
The two men are under arrest but deny
any knowledge of the crime.

MINERS CELEBRATE.

Wallace, Idaho, July 1.-The Miners
Union celebration OF the riots of 1892,
was held today, this being the anniver-
sary OF the blowing up Of the Frisco
concentration and the killing of three
Union and two non-Union men.
Both railroads touching here refused
special train service so that the Ward
ner Miners Union, and knights of Labor
from that vicinity came Up in wagons
and on horseback. The train from Can
yon Creek came In at 10 a. M, bringing
over 1000 people, old and young. At Ii
O'Clock the procession formed four
abreast and moved in the direction Of
the cemetery, headed by the band. There
were 61O men afoot and nineteen vehicles
carrying 126 more, principally women and
children.
The graves Of the three men who were
killed during the riot were decorated with
flowers; then the speakers addressed the
audience. Heretofore remarks have been
infiammatory, but the fact that Adjutant
General CapweT organized two militia
companies ait Wardner this week, and
was present In Wallace to Immediately
advise the state government In case Of
trouble, had a cooling effect. The Union
men were officially advised that any vio-
lence would result IN martial law, OF
which they are much afraid. Walter A.
Jones, Union sympathizer, Thos. Hen
ry, president Of the Burke Union; H.
L. Hughes, a-typo on the Union, paper
published here, and Ed. Boyer, a noto-
rious labor agftator. were the speakers.
= homemade poem describing the blow
Ing up of the mill, was delivered by Mrs.
Williams. OF Gem. This concluded the
exercises at the cemetery. Returning to
Wallace at 1;SO p. M, they engaged in
contests for prizes, contributed by the
citizens which lasted all the afternoon.
Three-fourths Of the Canyon Cheek del
egafIon returned home on the regular
afternoon train.
The Bunker Hill mine at Wardner, 12
miles distant, is gradually filling at the
reduced scale OF $3.50 for laborers, and
$500 for miners. This Is the great bone

nized that nothing but the prompt acton
