SHOOTING SCRAPE.
Colored Men Scrap and a Gun is
Used.

John McKinsey, colored, was shot
and severely wounded about ten
O'Clock last evening by Will Miller,
also colored. McKinsey was hit
twice but neither wound is serious.
Another colored man named Ike Bur-
rell was slightly wounded by third
shot, the ball just grazing the skin.
The trouble occurred on West High
avenue in some rooms over the
Weatherwax pool hall, formerly
known as the wilkins place. The
rooms are run by Frank Allen and
Sherman Johnson and are resort
for colored gamsters McKinsey
went to the rooms last evening about
ten O'Clock ana found Ike Burrell
and Will Miller in one of the rooms.
He Immediately opened up on Miller
and after few words had passed he
INDUCED in abusive language and
threatened to kill Miller. Miller
asked him to repeat what he had
said. McKinsey did SO and the words
were scarcely from his mouth when
Miller pulled revolver and began
shooting at McKinsey as rapidly as
the weapon could be worked. Miller
then ran down stairs and went west
and north around the corner of the
Winter building land was successful
in eluding the officers. McKinsey
was hit and was bleeding from a
wound on the face and he said he
had been hit in the body. He was
taken to DR.. R. @. Hoffman, who
dressed the wounds. 1t was found
that one of the balls had gone through
the flesh under the chin cutting it's
course just under the skin. A second
ball had hit him in the right hip, had
glanced on the hip bone and then
passed out Of the right bullock after
ploughing through the muscles The
man is not seriously injured but the
Wounds will be painful for time.
The third shot narrowly missed a
vital spot. 1t went across the chest
of McKinsey and cut off a button from
his coat and cut his coat for the dis
lance of several inches. McKinsey
states that the ball that hit him und r
the chin stopped in his mouth and
that he spit it out.
There is some difference of opinion
as to the number of shots fred by
Miller. Some state that there were
four while others who were at the
rooms or in the vicinity contend that
there were but three.
1t appears that there has been bad
blood between Miller and McKinsey
for some time. Both n en- were cooks
and it is said one blamed the other
for the loss of his job and that they
had quarreled over the matter a
number of times.
After the dressing of his wound
McKinsey1walked to his home with
out apparent effort but it will be
some time before he can handle him
self without feeling considera BILE
pain.
The affair created quite little ex-
element on the street at the time of
the shooting. The inmates Of the
rooms could not get out of the place
fast enough and all but fell over each
other in their efforts to get out OF
range of the gun. Several fell over
chairs and tables, were stepped on
by others and were worse hurt at the
time than the man who was shot.

Part of the Committee on Territories Has Been
 Headed This Way
The Body wm Divide and Some of the Msmbsrs Como North to Hear AlAskAs Needs While othors Go to Hawaii and the PhiIipinss

Congressman Francis w .CuShman has returned to Washington from the federal capital He brings news which will be of interest to AlaSkans. lt Is 10 the effect that the committee on terri tories of the house of representatives is coming west this summer
 Mr. Cushman feels certain that a part of the committee will visit Alas ka. He does not believe it will be practical that all of the members can come. as some are very deSirouS Co viSr Hawaii and probably go on to the Philippines.
 The talk while he was in Washington City was that the committee would divide. some of the members going to Alaska and others going to the lS- lands. In this way the field could be- more thoroughly covered than II all come Co Alaska or went to the de pcndencies. They realize, he said, the importance oi legislation for thif sec tion. but the recent acquisitions are al' SO demanding recognition and a;ten ton with the same object m view. SO an effort is going to be made this sum mer to ascertain what Is needed'ior ali the different localities
 Mir. Cushman is much interested m having better laws for this territory and the westward tour of the commit tee is due largely to his efforts.

DOINGS AT WHITE HORSEI
Work on New Steamers For Upper
 Yukon Progressing Rapidly

Mir John Kalem returned from a business trip to White Horse Friday evening He was there two days.
 Mir Kalem says that the principal activity at White Horse just now is the construction of the three river boats under the supervision of Capt. Waldo. He says the captain has every thing planned ahead for his men and that as a result the work in the differ ent departments moves along as smooth as clock work. The boats arc we'll advanced and will be completed n plenty of time for navigation. He visited the yards where the army oi men are employed and inspected the work The boat Co be 0sed for ex- elusive passenger trade he says, will be magni6cently appointed.
 Just now. MT Kalem says. the town at the other end of the road is a little quiet. but will be all right when nav- igation opens. The river is free foi about six miles down and the freight CTS are sending their goods down in scows to LaBarge where they are hauled out by tackle and drawn over the ice to the lower end of the lake where the break up of the ice will be awaited. By this means their ultimate arrival in Dawson will be hastened by three weeks.
 That the hustling wholesaler did some good for himself while away goes without saying.

TRfADWfLL MEAT CUT
Tho Island People Now Eating l5
 Cont Portorhouse Steak

The Trcadwell Company has cut the meat prices to pieces on Douglas ls- land, and all day yesterday portcrhouse steaks were selling for l.: cents a pound. The Treadwell Company shows no disposition to make q e cut simply as a leader for a few days but hne market building is now being con structed for the accommodation Ci the meat market and the la5sst improv' ed machinery is being installed.
 The exact reason for the meat war is not obtainable. but 1t is stated that it is the outcome of a recent fight made by a Douglas butcher and groceryman against the Treadwell incorporation, and at that time the remark was made that the Treadwell Company was rob- ping the miners by charging them eN- horbitant prices for their provisions. These remarks, it is stated, came to the attention of Supt Macdonald who has 'now started to show the employees who is the friend to the workingman.
 The report has been current all day that the price of coal has been iub- jected to the hatchet and that an en ployes' price of $7so, and outsiders price s a ton has been placed on it. This is claimed by the coal men to be cheaper than the Douglas dealers can put it down ior-Juneau Dispatch.

Keelar who initiated the discussion. stated that about 325 feet of drain would have (. be built. He remarked that the in. provement was one of the most nscd- ed of any m the city; that the place as it now existed was a vcritablc stink hole. a brccdinig place for disease and the sooner the nuisance was abatcd the better lt would take, he said, about 1000 feet of two-inch by twelve inch plank and some 500 feet oi Scant- ling. The lumber could be obtained from anold Scow at SI2 per thousand. with a dollar thousand added for carriage. The city'S share he believ- cd. would not exceed the cost of Sos Mir. Laumeistcr and Mir.
