Violated a U. s Statute.

A. W. Shelly, local druggist, was
arrested by Deputy Marshal L. C.
Dilly last Thursday, on complaint OF
J. E, Youngb1ood, of the Skokomish
| Reservation, for selling liquor to an
Indian. On a preliminary examina-
ton before Justice Baldwin, the de-
PENDANT being represented by prose
cutting attorney Hartman, Mr.. Shelly
was placed under $500 bonds to appear
before the U. S. Court at its next ses-
sion, and giving a cash bond was re-
leased. The complaint is an outcome
of the Strong Robinson bat
terry case, which caused the Indian
Strong to be fined SIS, and the same
liquor also brought out an incest
charge which sent him to Wal1a Wa1la
for five years.
The testimony brought out the fact
Charlie Robinson had secured liquor
at Shelly drug store several times, on
the representation that his wife was
DIN duO IL w DIS uGCuSQ lOI
purposes, that the fact of the sale was
noted on the register, and signed by
Robinson. Mr.. Shel1ey's defense was
ignorance of the recent statute which
made it an offense to sell or furnish
liquor to any person with indian blood.
The deputy also had a warrant for
another party On the same charge but
the person had received an intimation
that he was wanted and could not be
found. The government is usually
very strict in the enforcement of it's
laws against furnishing liquor to it's
Indian wards, regardless of the good
intention of the person giving the
liquor, and it is the best policy to re-
fuse to either sell or give an Indian
liquor.

Alluded to; Also withdrawing
Private Session Recently Held

During the session of the police commits
sioners yesterday morning little incident
occurred not down on the bills and which
created not a little Ill feeling on the part
of at least one member of the board. 1t
was while the charges against Officer
Sawyer were under consideration that the
mayor and Mr.. Wyman became involved
in an animated discussion which grew to
have distinctly personal application to-
ward the climax.
The charge against Sawyer was that he
had, year and half ago. taken helmet
belonging to Officer Singleton; had de-
MED having it when asked before a room
full of officers. and later admitted it and
charge was preferred by Commissioner
appointment as special officer, at least
until the facts had been proved or dis
proved.
In his own behalf, Sawyer stated, and he
was In part corroborated, that he had
picked up the helmet in rubbish heap in
the old police station at the time of reno
val. He was told that no one claimed it,
and that. brushing 1t up, he could use It,
When the inquiry was made by Sergeant
Smith at roll call whether any officer had
helmet belonging to Singleton Sawyer
declined to admit 1t, as he stated, because
he feared what his brother officers might
suspicion" He even denied it positively
when Sergeant Smith went to him directly
but soon after, at an opportune time, he
