 Mir. Archibald has just returned from Seattle and relates an adventure he had there with an automobile. He had been living up here a good many years and had never seen one. In crossing Second Avenue early the first morning he was startled by a honk honk! coming out of the fog. He is used to fighting bears so he dropped his grip and stood braced tor a tackle. The red eyed demon came up and Archibald hailed it. The chaffeur stopped and asked the cause of his warlike demonstration. The man from Alaska rem bering the pictures he had seen in magazines, told him he had never seen a gasoline wagon and wanted to look at it.
 The utter ludicrousness of the situa- tion struck the funnybone of the dri- yer and Archibald was invited to ride. Two Indians, Thomas Johnson and Henry Denny, came down from Walk iris cove yesterday with cargo con- slsting of the oarcasses and skins of five mountain goats. Upon landing here they were arrested and taken be. fore Judge Stackpole charged with killing the goats during the closed season. Johnson was discharged it being shown that he was but passen- ger on the boat and Denny found guilty and received sentence this after noon. The skins were cnnfiscated and are being auctioned off this afternoon at the Court house.
 The men pleaded ignorance of the law. and the fact that they made no attempt to conceal the carcasses indi- cated that such was the case.
