Last Thursday evening Charles Gun not, Indian policeman, and A. J. kal- kins, a white man, arrived in from Rake village. They started with John Mas tuck, Grow Indian, charged with kill ing Harry kathidhash, q Wolf, on the evening of the 3th; but while lying at anchor near Level Island, Wednesday night, the prisoner took the small boat and quietly left the officers, ani has not since been seen. 4 committee at Rake who inquired into the case, reported that Nastuck was in house examining a 22- calibre rifle that he evidently did not know was loaded, and the weapon was discharged and the ball went through the window just as the boy was passing. The bullet entered the head just behind the left ear and probably striking the
 base of the brain lodged in the head, causing instant death. The committee
 believe the killing to have been purely accidental; Lat the awfulness of the aC- cidcnt, it is thought, rising up before Nastuck, filled him with a superstitious dread of facing the law, be he ever 90 innocent, which caused him to escape from the officer. Kathlahash was l3 years old.
