Killing at Tenakee.

Last Saturday afternoon, Norman H. Smith, proprietor of the Bay View Sa- loon at Tenakee, was shot and instantly killed by prospector named Bob Reid. The shooting occurred in the store of Ed. Snyder, who was witness to the tragedy. The weapon used was double barreled shot gun, and the contents of both barrels found lodgment in the head of the victim, which was almost blown from his body.
 Smith and Reid had had trouble, and Smith had inspired Reid with such deadly fear that he had deserted his cabin and was living with Snyder. For several months Smith had avoided Shy der's place, but when on Saturday he walked in at the door, Reid ducked for his gun, took quick aim and fred. The shot entered Smiths head and he fell to the floor. Reid then walked over to the prostrate form and gave him the other barrel at short range. Reid made no attempt to escape, but went quietly, with man appointed to take charge of him, to Hoonah where an inquest was held over the dead body.

The Man With the Gun.

The tragedy at Tenakee calls to mind the fact that there are very few "gun men" in Alaska, especially considering that we are located on the boiling edge of civilization. As a general thing AL askans are not given to lighting. The rights of the person are respected and as rule man and his property are safe from molestation. But now and then the exception to the rule boos upi some man whose only strength is phys ical, and who is pufed with the power to knock au acquaintance cold as a wedge with one fell swipe of his brawny arm. He practices his tactics and es- capes for time, but sooner or later some poor victim, paralyzed with fear, grabs gun and winds up the career of the bad man, which goes to prove that a man who looks for trouble always finds it.

Fred L. Henshaw Dead.

The news came on the Str. Humboldt of the death of Fred. L. Henshaw, at Providence hospital, Seattle, on Oct. 18th. Deceased was native of Massa- chusetts, aged B years. He leaves two sons, Ward and Roger.
 Mir. Henshaw was member of the News force for about four years and had many friends here. He was per sonal friend of the writer for twenty years and had gained and held our warmest esteem. He was printer of the old school and knew the business in every branch. He was qualified to hold any position from editor to com positor. As editor of the Herald, at Oberlin, Kansas, he was leader of the democratic party of that section. Over coming strong republican majority, he was elected member of the Kan sas State legislature. By nature of a modest, retiring disposition, his virtues were never heralded from the house. tops, but those who knew him best were his best friends, and it can be truthfully said that in all bis life he did no man willful wrong.
 The gamblers at Ketchikan, indicted by the federal grand jury, pleaded guilty and threw themselves on the mercy of Che court. Judge Gunnison mercifully fined them $500 on each count. The fines aggregated Sl6,2O0. The first batch called up before the Judge were Tom Johnson, Wm. Law renee, Wm. Powers, John T. Campbell, Frank Webb, V. c. Jenkyn, John H. Pomeroy, Geo. Wheeler, Thos. Irwin, H. H. Lerch, Jacob Johnson and M. J. Doyle. In each case sentence was sus- pended and they were warned by the Judge: Should you be found gam bling again in this town or any town or place in this division you will be ap- prehended and brought before the court and then be given the limit" G.. O. Flynn was given judicial blue tick ct and ordered to leave Alaska for AL aska's good. Then came the regulars, to whom the little doses were adminis- tered in the following order: Frank Monroe, s1oo; L. A. Plumley, sl00; Jno. Sweeney, S100; W. Ii. Gilmour, $500; P. F. Gilnour, $500; Sam Gowan, s35o; Harry Brice, $500; Hans Anderson, s1,2O0; Barclay and Apse, s550 each. One of the defendants asked the Judge the question, "has man right to run his slot maehines?" To this the Judge replied, Il should say not"

STR EINDOUS
FOR SPENCER

William Spencer is capable of do
ing most any thing and has done a
great many things, but he does not
take well to the idea of being a con-
stable. Justice N. S. Riley made
him a special constable Tuesday af-
ternoon to serve quit notice on
Fred Moss, who occupies house in
Broad Oaks belonging to Louise
Morris. Mr.. Spencer proceeded to
execute the paper little suspecting
the experience IN store for him. But
it did not take him long to ascer-
tain what was coming to him. 1t
dawned on him quite suddenly and
in very striking manner, so much
SO that he will not soon forget his
first act as constable. At the
Moss place he found several men
and women, and, when they ascer-
tanned the purport of the paper,
they were going to kill him. An
attempt was made to strike him
with beer bottle, but he admonlsh-
ed them in all seriousness that II
any Of them struck him with the
bottle he would see to it that there
was killing there and then. !,
Luckily William is alive, but
there viii be no more constabulary
business for him, as he says he has
no liking for the life of a con-
stable. He does not like any thing
so strenuous, and we guess he IS
right about it, too.

Indictment is Returned

PARKERsBURG, Sept. &C.
The stolen indictment in the case of
J. Henry Fischer in the criminal
court has been recovered. 1t was
sent to Judge Showalter by special
delivery letter and the Fischer case
has again been resumed.
The letter was received yesterday
when Judge Showalter was APP
preached on the street by messen-
ger and given the envelope contain
ing the much wanted document.
The Letter showed a post mark OF
/ a. m. at the postofice, and the
handwriting is very ordinary. The
envelope has been preserved and it
is believed the sender can be located
by the handwriting. The disapper-
ance of the Indictment caused quite
a sensation.

CASE
is DECIDED I

Russell D. Carter won his land
case against Harrison w. Garter IN
circuit court Tuesday evening, the
jury bringing in verdict IN his
favor. The case viii doubtless be
appealed.
There were several points of IN
terest in the case. The land IN dis
pute, 49 1-2 acres, belonged years
ago to George Carter, father Of the
defendant and grandfather of the
plaintiff. He made deed for 100
acres to T. II. Carter, Russell's
father, with a clause in it That at
the death of T. II. Carter the land
was to go to T. T. Carriers young
est son, who Russell is. Later 7. T.
Carter redeeded the land to his
father and mother. The mother
next redeeded her share to y. T.
Carter and the father gave his to
Harrison w. Carter and the latter
came into possession of his many
yeas ago. It Is this land Harrison
W. Carter must now surrender to
Russell D. Carter, according to the
verdict of the jury, which con-
cluded Russell had title under the
first deed.
The defense relied mostly on the
averment that Russell Carter was
not a legitimate son, and advanced
in this particular the fact that i.
T. Carter appears to have been a
bigamist. They asserted that IN his
