Looks Like q Brutal Murder.

Saturday last Messrs. Dackins, Noble,
 Weir, Grummel and Dixon arrived over from the west coast of Prince of Wales in a sloop, bringing with them the body of man with a bullet hole through the body that would have proven fatal to anything. A coroner's jury was at once empanelled and the facts brought out were about these: The name of the murdered man was William Deppe, and Robert Ball did the killing. Both men belonged to the Great American Marble Company, and bad blood existed be- tween them because of former litigation. Ball and Leslie Maxwell went to the Isl and via this place on the 18th of Dec. for the purpose of doing assessment work on their marble quarries on Fox Island, near Holbrook. Deppe and sey- eral men went over via ketchikan. ar irving at the quarries day or two be-
 fore the fatality, which occurred on the evening of Jan. 2nd, and after his arriv
 al the breach Widened. Ball had given Deppe and party to understand that they must leave the premises by a. m. of the 3rd, or there would be trouble
 Monday evening, 2nd, Dackins, Noble and Maxwell were at the cabin with Ball discussing various topics. A krag- Jorgenson rifle laid on the bed near Ball. Mr. Deppe went to the door of the ca bin and knocked twice. The door was opened by Mr. Noble, and Deppe step ped in. The instant he did so Ball grabbed the gun, and with "G-d d-n you, get out of here " fired, the bullet entering about the center of the right side and coming out little lower down on the left side. Deppe fell dead. Take that man out of here," said Ball, and the body was carried oyer to the cabin he had been occupying. These were the facts brought out before the coroner's jury, and q verdict WAS rendered in ac- cordance herewith. Mr. Deppe was aged about 45 years and unmarried. By those acquainted with him he is said to have been sober, industrious and peaceable man. MT. Ball has been in Wrangell several times the past tive years, and claimed to represent millions of dollars in capital to be invested iu the marble and other mining properties in Alaska, A warrant has been issued for his arrest and deputy marshal Grant left over to serve it Monday. The re. mains of Deppe were buried from the Peoples Church at l2 o'clock Monday.
