Engineer Warren B. Reed re-
turned Tuesday from the Atcha-
falaya Bay Ship Channel, and re-
ports favorably. The dredging of
a fourteen foot channel will be
completed by October 10th. The
outside work is finished to four
teen foot of water, but there is
some more work to be done among
the reefs. The current is SO strong
that at times Major Reed thinks
vessels will have a hard task in
passing through the channel. He
is in high glee over the complete
success of the enterprise. We
hear there is considerable rivalry
among mill men as to who will
send the first loaded vessel to sea
through the new channel.-Mor-

again and it was with difficulty that
other ships employees were able to
get him away from the maddened
animal, and then only after he had
been horribly lacerated and bruised.
AS soon as the Northwestern
liner reached Port Townsend Parsons
was taken to the Sisters Hospital.
But it was too late for surgeons aid
to give him any assistance. Death
followed speedily.
Parsons was a widower and had
been making his home at 1919
Fourth avenue, Seattle His age was
between 40 and As years. At the
time of his death Parsons was in the
employ of the Pacific Cold Storage
company of Tacoma. The body is in
the care of the Northwestern Steam

fined $1,000 and costs in the supe-

amounting in all to almost S1,1O0.
In default of the cash he has been
committed to jail Shortly after the
sentence had been pronounced Corn-
ty Attorney Peringer had judgmen
entered against Fogarty for the
amount, in order to make him pay
the fine if the has he money, rather
than spend his time in the county

is still another charge hanging over
Fogarty which will probably be TAX

LETTER WRITER
limited MURDER
Anonymous Note Received by Sheriff
Some Time Ago Saying More
Bodies Would Be Found.

ABERDEEN, Wash, June 5.-The
coroner's jury in the case of Gabriel
Adsted, found murdered in the Che
halls river last Thursday, yesterday
returned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death at the hands of
some person or persons to them IN
known. No new light was shed on
the case by the testimony produced,
and Berge Cdland, who was arrested
on suspicion, was released, as were
Gustavson and Olson, who had been
held as witnesses.
1t has been learned in connection
with the investigation that when the
first few corpses were discovered and
the hue and cry Of wholesale murder
was raised that an anonymous lstter
was received by the sheriff, informing
him that many more bodies would be
found in the river.
1t was further said that in every
case death would be found to have
resulted from the use of knockout
drops; that there We're saloons in the
city where choral could be obtained,
and that the drug was sold with the
cOnnivanca at least of the police.
Owing to the feeling between the
county and city officials, who are at
Iloggerheads by reason of political
differences, the matter was not re-
ferred to Chief Schneider of the po-
lice force, but was turned over to
deputy sheriff's for investigation. So
far they have found nothing to sub
stantiate the charges in the letter,
and are inclined to believe it was
written in vindictive revenge by
some creature who lived On the earn
ings OF the dive women and who
was driven from town during Chief
Schneiders recent campaign against
vags. The matter, however, is be-
ing looked into further.

Awful Epidemic of Murder in New
York City

NEW YORK, Tuesday, June f.
Thirteen murders have been commit
ted in this city within the last seven
days, breaking all former records for
that period of time. Besides the
homicides there have been ten sui
cides and half a dozen attempts at
suicide in the same period, which is
considerably above the average for
the time.
In the homicide bureau of the dis
trict attorneys Office no reason could
b given for the increase of violence
b., it was remarked that the unsea-
50nabic weather might be RESPONSE
bic. Ii is well known fact that
more suicides occur in gloomy, de-
pressing weather than in other peri
eds and it was thought the same wa
likely to be true of murders, espe-
cially when the unreasonable wealth
er spreads over period of time, as
has been the case recently.
Reports from the hospitals are
that all these institutions are crowded
with patients suffering with pnau-
monia and colds.
