TWO fI[h k|LL[D MURDERS AT SAND POINT
 AND UNCA p.ke||yandp. pgtu5en
Shot. Guilty Ones Brought To Valdez For Their
 Trial.

Simeon Gerasilnoff. of Sand Point, was brought here on the Newport, in charge of deputy marshal Geo. Levitt. charged with the murder of P. Peterson. Mrs. Peterson, wife of deceased, and a Russian native named Simeon Sergin, were also brought here as prisoners, charged as accessors in the case.
 Mrs. Peterson. is native and had evidently become tired of the bond that held her to Peterson. She knew nothing of divorce courts, but determined on a separation, and the best and most ,aeting method that occurred to her was for one O! them to remain on top of the sod while the other should retire to gen. tie repose beneath. To accomplish her purpose she secured the willing services of her native friend. MT. Gerasimofi, who proved too gallant to disappoint lady. He. with his 30-30 rife in hand. stepped into the shack one evening. and. in the presence of several witnesses, del;t- erately plugged & hole in the breast of Peterson, who dropped like log and died in couple of hours. He was duly slowed away in his grave, when the story go, out and several arrests followed. Among the witnesses to the af- fair was small native boy, who was put on the stand at the prelim- mary hearing, and gave a very clear and graphic description of the whole affair. The boy is an orphan and has since been placed in the Wood island mission.
 i Another witness to the shooting was Hans Hanson, who was brought down with the prisoners and will be detained bers till the trial.
 At Unga on the evening of Jan. nary 3l, Patrick Kelly and A. D Wentworth were engaged in 8 friendly game of cards. Kelly had been drinking and was inclined to be quarrelsome; as the game pro. gressed he became abusive and at. tackled and beat Wentworth. The latter after being terribly abused secured a revolver and shot his as. sailant. The man lived for thir- teen days and finally cashed in. 1 Wentworth was brought to town on the Newport and is now in the district jail. He will be tried a, the fall term of court.

After Alaska Trade.

The City of Bellingham, Wash ington, is making an effort to se- curt a share of the Alaska trade. Arrangements have been made with the Pacific Coast Steamship Co, to stop at Bellingham going and coming between Seattle and Alaska ports.
 The Bcllingham Chamber of Commerce. having a membership of six hundred and $S,OOO in its treasury, is working as a unit to secure a share of our trade,
 The city has a $l50,OOO cold storage plant, and has unexcelled facilities for the handling and ship ment of butter, eggs, fruits and other porishable merchandise Bellingham has large wholesale houses and the same transconti. mental rates as the other large Washington cities. .-sa Alaska towns can all reap bene. fits by encouraging trade with thi! wide-awake thriving young metrop oils.

Another Shushitua Strike.

About 75 miles southwest of the Valdez creek discovery, another placer find has been made. It is known as the Sunrise strike from the fact of its having been made by people from the Inlet. The most encouraging reports are brought out from there recently by natives.
