died from his wounds. Young Mccoy,
it seems, had been to a neighboring
ranch with an uncle, and borrowed a
rifle, and on the way home carried it
between his legs. The road over which
he and his uncle were riding was very
rough in places, and jostled the vehicle
about at lively rate. In some
manner the hammer was thrown back
and the gun discharged. the bullet en-

Another law passed by the late and
unlamented legislature was declared
unconstitutional, last Saturday, by
Judge Humes, Of Seattle, and the law
requiring mill men, under penalty Of
500 per day, to protect knot sawyers
by q metallic guard, was sent to join
the army of its predecessors. The
grounds were the excessive fine and
class legislation, in that only metallic
guards would answer. Surely the last
legislature was a pink.-Aberdeen

An ordinance has passed the city
council of Seattle providing for the
remaining of the streets. AS few
changes as possible have been made,
compatible with the new system which
has been adopted, but by the new sys-
tenn about 100 street names are done
away with. All thoroughfares which
run north and south are called avenues,
and those running east and west
streets. The central section OF the
city, bounded by Yesler avenue, Broad
way, Depot street and the harbor
furnishes the key to the new system,
and from this section the old street
names are continued north, east and
south. These are denominated " ways"
Yesler avenue is Yesler way; Broad
way remains as it is, and Depot street
is changed to Denny way. Front street
is changed to first avenue, and the
PARALLEL streets, Second. Third, etc.,
West street is called Western avenue.
The loggers Of Puget sound formed
an organization in Seattle, last Satur-
day, under the name of the Puget
Sound Timbermen's Association, for
the special purpose of uniting all
persons in the lumber business
generally in an effort TO secure a
uniform classification and scale OF logs,
spars, ETC., and the establishment from
time to time of q uniform schedule of
prices, and with view OF promoting
the logging and lumber business OF
this locality generally. There were
representatives present from nearly
every logging district in Western
Washington. Articles of incorpora
ton were adopted and an advisory
board of ten members elected. The
board is given power to regulate the
production OF logs so as to keep within
the demand. and may also make agree
, ments with lumbermen for the as.

and scaling.

The latest joke perpetrated upon
the class OF people who possess an ir-
repressible desire to kill the lower
order of animals, under the delusive
idea that it is "sport." found two
ready victims last Saturday. Lawyer
Hagin, whose passion for that kind of
recreation has often led him to per-
Torrance of deeds that easily rank
with hard labor was. one OF the VIC
Tins of the heartless conspirators,
who had anchored the stuffed body OF
q pelican in q pool of water on the
mud-fats, and then sought for VIC
tins. One OF their number impaired
to Mr.. Hagin the exclusive informa-
ton that there was ian excellent
shot" near the Percival dock. The
others hid themselves and awaited de-
velopments. In very few moments
Mr.. Hsgin appeared with his breach
loader and pocket full of shells and
carefully picked his way to the ex-
tremity OF what remains of the Second
street wharf. He lodged behind the
hull of the new boat in process of con-
istruction. and from that to the water.
tank, and then behind fender piles
for the pelican, you know, is timid
bird and intelligent withal, and can
recognize hunter with q gun al long
range. Finally he reached q point
within short stone's-throw of the bird
and grasping his gun fired. The shot
splattered the mud all around the
bird which carries its trunk on its
beak, but aside from a slight waving
of this receptical in defined manner,
it gave no heed to the salute. Hagin
fred another shot with the same re-
suit, and was about to depart under
the belief that the bird possessed
charmed life and it would be i'm
proper TO make third shot, when
some of the boys appeared and as
sured Mr.. II. that the bird was
asleep; that when pelicans become
gorged with food they invariably fall
into lethargic condition which lasts
for hours. This popularity of pelicans
was news to the sportsman, and he
was induced to plant q third shot in
and about the body of his victim, but
it was the last, for on looking up he
discovered broad grin upon the faces
Of bis spectators which left no doubt
but that he had been sold. Well
boys" he remarked, "this is hard
work. l propose we adjourn to the
'den' and wait till he wakens up"
This proposition met with ready &C.

quiescence, of course. Another VIC
tim was sought in lakeland Macleav,
who appeared on the scene with, his
gun, but having lived the past five
years in the Webfoot State, he knew a
:" dead duck" when he saw it, and
magnanimously offered his gun to the
Smart Alexis to do their own shooting.
In tins instance, Scotch equaninity
served a better purpose than Irish

A "cross" from the electric light

The rails OF the Westside street

The value of the rails was about

A State immigration Convention is
to be held in Seattle, on the 18th inst,
under call of Gov. McGraw, to devise
means for advertising our State re-

Mr.. P. NJ. Troy has returned from a
trip to Dayton. He reports the feel
ing of the people as quite hopeful for
business revival. The farmers are
very generally holding their wheat for
an advance which they feel confident
will result. The train Mr.. T. returned
by encountered severe storm while
crossing the Cascades. The snowfall
was heavy and wind terrific. A snow

Arlie Van Epps has constructed

The City Council.

Council met as Board of Health
and the following report of Health
Officer Newcomb was read and placed
on file:
Total number births, IL, as agains,
16 for the corresponding quarter OF
last year; males, 5; females, s. Total
number deaths, II. Seven of these
were males and ~ females.

Disease, l; epilepsy, l.
Total number deaths for the year OF
1895, 40; males IS, females y, as
against 80 for 1894.
None of the said deaths were re.
ported as due to contagious or infec-
tons disease.
During the first quarter there was an
outbreak of scarlet fever, but only
three families were visited Herewith,
as strict quarantine rules were OBJ
! served, and each house in its turn was
fumigated by myself. A new case has
developed, however, recently, of I'M
known origin and is now under quar-
antine. This, as far rs l can ascer-
tain, is the only case in the city,
though the disease is prevalent in Sc
attic, Centralia, Elma and other
towns near by.
The city has been entirely free from
smallpox, diph,heria and measles dur.
ing the year. Thus far two cases OF
typhoid fever have been reported. A
number of cases of typhoid pneumonia
have occurred during the last three
three months, only one of which
proved fatal. There are still several
suffering from the malady, though |
understand they are all in a fair way
to recover. Since about an equal
number of the fevered patients we're
drinking we'll water, it is not probable
that the city water is the source OF in
fiction.
/ have caused fifteen notices to con-
meet with the new sewer system to be
served, only few of which have been
complied with, owing to the lack of
funds.
A number of cases of chicken -pox
have occurred during the last quarter,
and as many as appeared at school
having, or who were suspected of hav-
ing, the disease were promptly dis
missed and not permitted to return
without a certificate of recovery, by
thus doing believe the epidemic to
be pretty we'll stamped out"
Information having come to the at
tention of the Board of Health that q
case of scarlet fever had existed with
out the case having been reported by
the attending physician, and it appear
ing after investigation that the infor-
nation was we'll grounded, the Clerk
was authorized to institute proceedings
against DIR. Kincaid, the physician
who it is claimed has been derelict in
duty.
