Last evening the people turned out
enmasse to listen to the two excel
lent programs given at Schuetzen
park by Petersen's great band of 80
men and the Boston Ideal company
The band concert program was I'M
usually fine. Sousa's Imperial Ed
ward and Stradella struck "a popular
fancy, as was manifested by the
rounds of applause. The trombone
solo, Mascheroni's For All ETERNITY
which was remarkably well rendered
by Henry Sonntag, Jr., was enthusi-
astically encored. Mr.. Sonntag re-
sponded with absence Makes the
Heart Grow Ponder" The Chaper-
ons was also a pleasing number. An
other musical success was the violin
solo by Ira Rhys. The concert mas
ter played the intermezzo in Caval-
liera Rusticanna.

Electric Light Plant.

The Electric Light and Tele-
phone Co., have IL number of men
erecting poles. They will be taller
and heavier Than he old ones and
more suitable for the heavy wiring
necessary for lighting the town.
The plant will be on the
Santa Ana and everything will be
pushed to completion as quickly as
possible, so there is possibility of
having our town lighted by elec-
tricity by Christmas.
1t would be we'll for the people
to place their orders for lights with
MIR. Quinn just as soon as possible,
SO the wires can be stretched and
that part of the work finished be-
fore the machinery arrives.

The Newport. which left here on
;he 3rd for Seattle, met with mis-
hap after passing Hinchinhrook
island. The propeller shaft broke
and the racing OF the engine
caused it to break down. leaving
the boat helpless. The mishap did
not occasion much excitement
and the vessel had not drifted long
before the Excelsior which was
coming up. sighted her and towed
her into Valdez. The home office
WAS notified by wire, and instruc-
tions were received for the Excel
sior to return to Seattle and take
the Newport's Passengers and crew
with her.
The Newport is now anchored at
Swanport, in charge of the second
mate. Three Of the Passengers
who were bound West are being
kept here at the expense Of the

That Of the Peter Anderson known
on the Sound.
The morning after the terrible
tragedy of Nov. 1, 1856. three
shells were picked up near the
window through which the charge
was fired which killed Mr.. McIn-
tyre. For years these shells have
laid in the COmpany's vault at
Kodiak. An examination of these
shells and those found near the
skeleton on Madnashka hill shows
that they are identical in make
and loading. both being loaded
with bucksho, and oakum wadding.
The Kodiak people have always
believed that some day Peter An
derson's bones would he found.
1t could never be asceriained that
he had escaped from the island in
a boat or bidarka.
A few days after the tragedy
there was quite a fall OF snow. and
all search for his tracks was fruit
less.
Strange it is that i'm all these
years neither berry pickers nor
hunters had found the bones OF
this man who pcrished almost
within sight of the scene OF his ter
rible deed. In a well chosen spot,
where he could watch those who
might he hunting for him and not
be seen by them, Peter Anderson.

Kodiak, Nov. 3-While search
ing for stray cattle on Madnashka
hill back OF Kodiak, J. Demidoff
and Morris Sargent accidently
stumbled upon the bones of u
skeleton lying under Il tree. BY
the side of the skeleton lay a
double barrel shotgun with rust
eaten barrels and rotten stock.
The open breech of the gun showed
an exploded shell in the right hand
barrel. Other shells were found
near by. which had been loaded
with buckshot, oakum having been
used for wadding. a pair of boots,
Il hat and bits OF cio.hing were
found with the skeleton. Most of
the bones were covered with moss
and were in Il bad state of decom-
position. Everything bore evil

This morning U. $. Customs

and after examining the skeleton,
gun and shells, We're firmly con-
WINGED that the unfortunate. who
had pcrished on Madnashka hill
was Peter Anderson. the murderer
oi B. Ii. Mcintyre. Mr.. McIntyre
was murdered l6 years ago in the
a. Z. Co.'S house at Kodiak. The
details OF that tragedy are as fol.
lows:
On the evening of Nov. |, 1886
about 6.l5 o'clock, while Mr.. McIn-
tyre and others were seated at sup
per in the A. {. Co.'S house at Ko-
diak, SD n zone fired a charge of
buckshot through the window at
Mr.. McIntyre's back, killing him
instantly, and seriously injuring
Mr.. b. Woche, who was seated di-
rectly opposite Mcintyre at the
100, OF the .able. During the con-
fusion which followed the murderer
escaped.
Mr.. Mcintyre was intending to
sail the next day on the schooner
Kodiak for San Francisco. The
schooner, however, did not sail
until Nov. 4th. In the mean
time diligent search was kept up
for a certain individual, who was
commonly known as Peter Ander-
son, who was found to be missing
shortly after the murder. Re-
wards We're off, red and armed par
t es secured the woods, but TO no
avail. The missing man could not
be found.
A year before this he had ar
rived at Kodiak alone OH the sloop
Peter Anderson. He had twice
been ou.tiiled by the A. c. Co. to
engage in sea otter hunting, but
being unsuccessful, Mr.. Mcintyre
did MOI see tit to equip him a third
time. Offers to buy the sloop were
r. jected. likewise offers oi employ
ment.
A year after the murder it was
learned that about two years pre-
vious to the murder, Peter Ander-
son, Russian Cossack, from Ros-
toll on the Don, left Puget Sound,
where he was well known, in COM
pany with another Russian. They
both arrived at Sitka, and after
having spent some time there in
preparing dogfish oil, started
for this place. Only one man
man arrived at Kodiak on the
s.oop Peter Anderson. This man
was heavily built. bearded, and
spoke broken English. His de-
scription did not correspond to

Organization Will Probably be
Made Monday Night.

Herbert Burdett, assistant secretary
of the Anti Bucklin league of Denver
spent the night in the city, leaving
for Denver at noon Last night he
met number of men in the McCand-
less block and plans were considered
for the organization of an anti Buck =
lin club. The organization will prob
ably be affected Monday night at the
opera house at the close of the Bar
| tholomew address. Investigation
shows that men are not fully advised
as TO the import of the Bucklin am
endment, and it is to disseminate in
formation regarding the workings of
the system that the club is being
formed.
Mr.. Burdette sketched the inception
and organization CT the central league
and related some of the details of its
work both in Denver and throughout
the state He said that the advocates
OF the amendment have been working
vigorously for six months and putting
forth great quantity of literature.
Their work had been well done from
their standpoint and it would require
the utmost perseverance to combat it
and bring out the full vote of the OPP
ponents TO the amendment.
