Chas. Wilson, fisherman who ha S
made Oyster Bay his stopping place,
was gathered in by Thos. Malaney
and Mr.. Fletcher, last Monday, for
stealing windows from vacant build
ing adjoining the big three story no
tel building on the Detroit townsite,
and was marched over to Shelton by
his captors. The big hotel is a relic
of the boom days, but was not wholly
completed and never occupied, as the
town has not yet materialized. Will
son needed some windows for his float
house near Arcadia, and those in the
vacant building were evidently tempt
ing, as two pairs which were missing
were found in his boat, although he
claimed to have bought them. At the
hearing before Justice Covill Tuesday,
Wilson was placed under $500 bonds
for trial before Superior court. His
captors used some force at times to
bring him along, and having no war-
rants, Wilson questioned their author
ity. He sent for Geo. Israel of Oly1n-
pia to defend him. Sheriff Caldwell
took him in charge, pending his at
tempt to secure bondsmen, which have
since been secured.

Shingles just now are going down
in price, but this is on account of the
slack in Eastern demand on account
OF winter. But next year, and rapid
ly increasing in the future years, the
single business will be prosperous.
We doubt If a better location, or one
more convenient to vast bodies OF ex-
cellent cedar timber, is to be found on
the Sound, and we believe there is
money in single mill at this point.
several parties have been seriously
thinking on that proposition and we
trust that the result will be a single
mill IN Shelton. The Port Townsend
Southern through this place, is not an
1mprobability for next year.
