the house and had secured his (St
Cyr's) gun and was shooting at him
with it st. Cyr ran into tent in
the rear and securing q gun, went
around the rear side of the house
and shot at Emmonds, killing him
instantly. The only witness 10 the
tragedy was Finn girl, who is un-
able to speak English. This is st.
Cyr's version of the affair.
THIS story is not borne out by the
coroner's inquest or by the committee
of citizens who went from Meadows
to investigate the matter 1t is re-
ported from Meadows that at the
inquest and interpreter was secured
and the girl testified that Emmons
was driving by when st. Cyr stepped
out of the house with rifle and
shot him. That Emmons got ont of
the wagon and fell, when st. Cyr
stepped up tc him and placing a
revolver against his head, so close
that it buried the hair, fired again,
and then placed his revolver beside
the body. This story was fully sub
stantiated in every particular by the
jury and the citizens committee,
and in their opinion it was all un-
provoked murder. He was shot
twice. The rifle ball struck EN-
mons in the chin, coming out ovel
the right ear, while the revolver bul
let entered the back of his head, an(
the weapon had been heald so clos
that the hair was powder burned.
Emmons' body was inferred a

The Minstrels.

The minstrel entertainment at the Treadwell Y. M. c. A. hall last Satur- day evening, called together perhaps the largest number of people who ever assembled on Douglas Island to wit ness stage performance of any kind. In fact the crowd was so great that fears were entertained by some as to the safety of the building.
 Mrs. Christ. Fox who had painted a drop curtain for the stage, was on this occasion publicly thanked for her kindness by pr. Moore, in behalf of the Y. M. c. A. Association. The min strel show was next and brought forth the usual hearty laughs. The enter tainment was voted a success by all who attended.

New City Officers.

The meeting of the city council last Monday evening, was fraught with more than the usual interest.
 In the first place there were the re- ports of the city officers for the year past, which we expect to give to our readers in full by another week.
 After this the old council adjourned and the new stepped in and took their places. There was no confusion, pos sibly because of the fact that the old and the new were the same except MT. O'Connor taking the place of MT. Kelly. The new council proceeded to organize by selecting Chas. A. Hopp IS tempor- ary chairman; Mir. John Henson was elected city clerk, and, by subsequent motion, his salary was fixed at .S20 per month.
 Mir. P. H. Fox was the unanimous choice for city treasurer, and was de- clared elected.
 The retiring school board was pres ent and delivered to the council a com plete report of the business of the past year. A committee consisting of Messrs. Bach, Ohman and O'Connor, was ap- pointed to audit the books and &C., counts before turning them over to the new board.
 An ordinance, providing for the li- censing of certain businesses, having been read at previous meeting, was passed to second reading, read and passed to third reading.
 The council adjourned little before midnight.

 A fair sized audience was in attend ance at the Y. M. c. A. last Monday evening, to hear Dr. Irwin speak and to witness the exhibition of the stereopti' con views. Arrangements have been made for continuance of the lectures on the following Monday evenings for some time yet.
 Mir. Thomas Linville, of Astoria, Oregon, Sheriff of Clatsop County, ar rived on the Dolphin in search of Matt Jarvi, who is wanted on the charge of murdering his father. He found his man at Treadwell, took him in charge and returned to the Sound on the same boat.

Also the stock of spring goods now on dis play will enable the most fastidious lady or gentleman to do likwise. Never before has this establishment shown so many new goods, or shown them so we'll
 An old fashioned cake walk is to be given at theiY. M. c. A. this evening. An immense cake, the handiwork of MT. Graham, the baker at Treadwell, has been on exhibition this week at the Treadwell store. It is beauty, and the couple fortunate enough to capture the prize need not go cake hungry for sev- eral weeks at least.
 There will be no special programme at the Congregational Sunday school this year on Easter Sunday, but the children will not be forgotten. Rev. and Mrs. Kra1se and Supt. V. l.. Holt de- serve much credit for the interest that is manifested among the children and young people of the Sunday school. A large number have been in attendance during the winter, which, in view of the inclement weather, a greater part of the past four or five months, is evidence of interest on the part of those in charge as we'll.
 Mrs. D. L. Rood, of the Treadwell school, has offered prize to class of pupils ranging in age from ito 9 years, as an inducement to study number work. The prize is to be awarded to the one who is most successful in com hitting the multiplication table and putting the work on the board in the neatest way. The contestants are work ing earnestly for the prize, and each one is confident that he or she will be the lucky one. The interested ones are Eddie Lee, Clara and Celia Pianfetti, Dick McCormick, Paul Carpenter, Clara Macdonald and Tom Sandman. It is surprising to see the advancement made in so short time, and to hear such small tots conBing over the "nines' l and "twelves."
