District Judge Delaney's Prompt
Action in Holding the
Murderers.
THE CRIME NOT WARRANTED.
One Man Held for Murder and Three
Others for Manslaughter
and Assault.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Jan. l.
Ex-Judge Warren Truitt of the District
Court of Alaska, wLo arrived from the
north on the Topeka early this morning,
brought full particulars of the brutal muir
der at Sitka of Donald Austin, chief of the
Indian police, on December q last. AS a
result of the tragedy Judge T. K. De-
laney, who succeeds Truitt, has bound
over Herbert Mills, the principal, for MUIR
der, Chum Long, the proprietor of the
saloon in which the murder was commit
ted, on charge of manslaughter, and two
sailors from the cutter WoIcott for as
sault.
On the night of the murder number of
white men and Indians were drinking in
Longs saloon, when row started between
Austin and Mills. =.
Two sailors took hand and foored
Austin, and while he was down Mills
sprang upon him. and brutally knocked
his head against the hard floor again and
again.
Unconscious, he was thrown into the
back room of the saloon by Long and left
to die.
The Indians of Siika, among whom
Chief Austin was very popular, became
alarmed at his disappearance and began
inquiries. Two days later Long became
frightened and threw Austin's hfeless
body into the street, where it was found a
few hours later.
AS soon as the news spread among them
general Indian uprising was Threatened,
and mutterings became so loud that tplans
for defense were hastily laid by citizens,
assisted by officers of the Wolcott.
For twenty -four hours there was an in
creasing excitement among both the In
dians and whites, the latter being: almost
afraid to leavetheir homes, but the sum
mary action of Judge Delaney gradually
brought about order, though the Indians
declare that nothing less than one life will
atone for the murder of Chief Austin.
The trouble is not ended. 7:

A Number of Exciting Races and

PAShVENA CAL, Jan. 1.-The opening

Crown City Cycling ClTlb drew the largest
crowd ever seen at bicycle races IN all
Southern California.

present, but tile Syracuse team at Coronado
did not come UP from San Diego. As
extra prizes were not given for records he
crackerjacks would not ride fast enough to
risk breaking records.

ments for records on their track at Santa

fornia bicycle track. Kiser rode SO slow in

Campbell of Spokane beat him out on the
final spiirt.
The class A races brought out twelve new
men of much promise. Langstaff OF River

handicap, and thus threw all scratch men
but Wing.
Handieapping was very bad. The profits
of the meet will put the Crown City Cycling
CHb out of debt, thus making their track
paid for.
The track was pronounced the best in
Southern California. except the cement
track at San Jose. and the finest dirt sur
face.tIack in America. One of the racing
teams will probably locate at Pasadena as
result.
