TRADED MAN FOR BLANKETS.
How Puget Sound Indians Released
Captive British Sailor.

To trade a man for roll of
blankets is rather unusual pro-
ceeding, and the trade in which he
figured as the man is a never to be
forgotten event in the life of Will
liam Jarman, who is Sc years old
and once was 'King Dodo" of Puget
sound Indians. That was so years
ago, and Blanket Bill" as he is
called to this day, expects to reach
the century mark in years.
BLANKET Bill" was a man-o'-wars-
man on board British frigate that
sailed into Puget sound water a
great many years ago. With party
of other sailors he came ashore to
trade with the Indians. The party
became separated and with yell the
fire-eating aborigines set upon the
main body of the British tars. All
reached the boat but Jarman, who
was captured and taken to the in
terror by the Indians. He fully e1-
pected to be alped while the fagots
burned about him, but he made
friends with the chief and soon
found himself elevated to a high po-
sition among the tribes. Before him
every one bowed.
After several years Hudson bay
traders heard that a white man was
held in captivity among the Indians,
and, bartering with the red men, Sc
cured the British sailor upon the
payment of a roll of blankets.
But Jarman went back to live
among the Indians. He married a
squaw, or probably a good many
more than one, for he says he would
take his spouse back and trade her
for another whenever he got tired of
the same one. blanket Bill" at
tributes his long life to a plunge in
the sea every morning and the avoid
ance of spirits of all kinds. A pipe
is his only dissipation. And he
walks II miles into Bellingham,
state of Washington, every little
while just for exercise.

As Others See Us.

The first assembly of the Falls
City chautauqua closed on We'd
nesday evening and is reported to
have been a success financially.
Mauy Salem people attended and
on Sunday Agent Graves of the
Burlington ran out of card tickets
reading to Falls City, and had to
write out coupon tickets. Several
hack loads of Salem people visited
the assembly at different times
during the session. The program
averaged up pretty well, although
it was the opinion of many that a
good eight day program had been
stretched to cover eleven days.
In a spirit of the kindliest criti-
cism, we would suggest that the
local management get 9 new plat.
form superintendent for next year
and that they paint the advertis-
ing signs off the auditorium. -

DO BEST WORK AT NIGHT.
Quiet Hours the Proper Time for In

Prof. Victor Hallopeau of the Paris
Academy of Medicine declares that
the best intellectual work can be ac-

''is to cut the night in two. The
scholar, the inventor, the financier, the
literary creator should be asleep every
night at ten o'clock, to wake again at,
say two, in the morning. Three hours
work, from two to five, in the absolute
tranquility of the silent hours, should
mean the revealing of new powers,
new possibilities, wealth of ideas un-
dreamed of under the prevailing sys-

In Justice Court.

In justice court yesterday, before
M. G. Slocum, justice of the peace,
several offenders were given their
trials, and the cases against them
were disposed of in an expeditions
manner.
The first case on the docket was
that against Joseph Ballfany, charged
with grand larceny.
Ballfany has been accused of
having entered the rear room of
Mccain and Collins saloon building
and taking several articles from a
trunk in the room, making his get
away" with the stolen stuff. This
case was dismissed and the prisoner
discharged, as the complaining wit
ness failed to put in an appearance
against Ballfany.
John Sullivan, charged with
assault in the second degree,
was given hearing. Sullivan
was accused of having chewed the
finger of a gentleman VIII Q
was with him in a saloon at
Puposky, the digit having been SO
badly "gnawed" that the party
againt whom the demonstration Of
canabalism was made feared he
would lose the finger. Sullivan
waived examination and was com.
mitted, in default of bail, to await
the action of the next grand jury.
L. A. Heddington, who was ar
rested ten days ago on the charge
of having stolen pair of shoes from
the front of local store, was placed
on trail. Although the evidence
was such that Heddington was un.
deniably guilty, he decided to
stand pat" and demanded a jury
trial. Heddington conducted his
own defense and became so much oil
a nuisance that it was necessary for
the court to call him down" severa
times. 1t took the jury but few
moments to find Heddington guilty
of the theft charged against him
and Judge Slocum sentenced the
defendant to serve ninety days in
the county jail.
