the indictment.
One plea was TO the validity OF the in
dictment, because OF there being on the
grand Jury a man who was not tax
payer. The second plea was the statute
OF limitations.
The plea in abatement recited that Per-
cy E. Cook a member OF the grand jury,
from the town OF Scituate. was not quail

had not paid the tax on personal proper
ty last assessed against him when drawn
as a Juror and was not qualified to vote
upon any proposition to impose a tax.
The plea OF the statute or limitations
recited that the state ought not to pros
ecute The indictment further. because the
offence was committed more than three
years before the finding OF the indict-
ment.

RECALLS AN OLD TRAGEDY.
IssAQUAH FAMILY KILLED ny
INDIANS IN 1865.
brutal Crime of Drink-Craxed Ma
tfves - William Casio pnd Wife
and John HnIstead Murdered
Avenged by a Friendly Indian.

The murder Of Charles Bonser at Mill
town. skagit county. last Wednesday. re-
calls one of the most bloody tragedies In
the history OF King county.
In 1864 William Caste bought the farm
a. Issaquah since known as the ''Tibbetts
farm" and with his wife settled there.
Her maiden name was Martha Bonser,
her family having a home on Sauvie's
island, few miles below Portland. Or.
Casio kept a small stock of misceila-
neous good for sale. Of kinds most in de-
rnand among the Indians, who made up
a large share Of his customers. He en-
ployed a good many of the natives in
getting out hoop poles for shipment to
San Francisco, that business In early
days forming a considerable part of the
infant Industries OF this region.
While Casio was a good citizen and
neighbor I'm most particulars, his ideas on
the liquor question were rather lax. and
II was a common occurrence for him to
supply the Indians about him with liquor.
contrary to law and the advice of his
friends, who knew Indian nature better
than he He always made light of any
remonstrances. and replied that the In
dians all loved him and would never in
1ure him.
Early in the year 1866 runner arrived
In Seattle by night with the news that
Casio and wife and John Halstead had
been murdered by Indians the evening
supplying the Indians with liquor; they
soon became fighting drunk, got their
guns and fired through the windows OF
Casto's house. killing the three persons
named.
The courier was soon followed by the
few remaining settlers i'm the valley, who
reported an Indian uprising. Most of the
available men in Seattle gathered in a
small company, each armed with his
trusty rife that was always kept ready
for use, and started for the scene Of the
murder. Their route was overland 70
Lake Washington near the foot OF jack
son street, thence by canoe to near the
trail 10 Sduak lake, thence in a large
canoe TO the southern end OF that lake,
and thence TO Casto's place.
The facts In the case were found to be
as related by the courier. In addition,
Aleck, well-known member of a
Klickitat tribe of Indians, who was a
great friend OF Mr.. and Mrs. Casio had
very promptly avenged their murder by
killing two OF their siayers. Thus the
party found three dead whites their
bodies cut by knives In score Of places,
and two dead Indians. shot and hacked
20 pieces by an AK In the hands OF
Aleck.
The bodies Of Mr. and Mrs Caste and
Halstead were brought to Seattle and
inferred with fitting ceremonies In the
cemetery that later became Denny park
at Dexter street and Denny way, being
the first placed there.
The Indians killed by Aleck were Of
the Snohomish tribe, and their relatives
tried for years TO kill him. and did sue
