man than ne mas heretofore IofinerIN shown himself. His name, he says, is W. II. Dean. and he came here short time ago in company with young girl, who is now engaged at the Bud- weiser. He says that two other young women who were to come with him to Alaska, were persuaded by their friends not to come aS they were about to take the steamer at Seattle. and that he and the other came alone intending 10 stop at Douglas, but that getting of here, they succeeded in getting themselves left behind. Last Tuesday, the fellow made himself con- spicuous and oostreperous on one of the wharyes, by displaying gun and making threats, whereupon he was run in by the chief of police and lock- ed up in jail, which he attempted to burn by setting fire to mattress and some blankets. He was then turned over to the fedreal authorities, and is now in jail under invitation of Judge Stackpole to feast for an even hundred days at government expense. He is to all appearances promising candidate for the penitensiary, and if he keeps on the way he is going may some day attain a higher station at the end of rope.

Heckman and a number of others on board, ran aground on the sandspit just this side of Charcoal point and careened in way not altogether pleasant or comfortable to either pas sengers or crew. In fact, it is asserted by those who are presumed to know that but for her unusual width of beam she certainly would have filled and sunk. As 1T was she was detained for four hours and until the rising of the tide righted her up. when she aoated of without having sustained any injury.
 Mrs. J. J. Doyle and children re- turned home from the Sound on the yigilant with her hubsand-and they could not have sailed with a more yigilant, careful and attentive master, it is perhaps needless to remark.
 Wheugh. London couldn't have held candle to ketchikan this morn- ing, at least not to any good purpose. Fog. A very sharp knife would have been required to cut it-and it is doubtful if cleaver would have sutfic- cd 10 make a hole to le. single ray ot light through.
 Lyman Plumley and wife are passen- gers on the City of Seattle, enroute for Idaho, which state they purpose making their future home.
