Indian Drowned
Son of Chief Shakes Kissing

Moses Shakes, son of Chief Shakes, mysteriously disappeared from his gasboat, Yankee, on the night of the I 3th.
 Moses and a party consisting of Donald Austin and wife, Ellen Jackson and a little girl started for the Stickine on a pleasure trip Saturday. Sometime in the after noon they reached the mouth of Andrews Creek but owing to the low tide they grounded on a bar and was unbale to go up the creek to Andrews Cabin. The Yankee was then backed from the bar into the Stickine and anchored and the party with the exception of Moses went ashore in the two small boats
 The whole party seemingly and according to their story went to bed although 1t was still very early for a pleasure party to retire.
 The next morning Austin and wife rowed out to the Yankee and cane back to the cabin reporting Moses was not on his boat. A serch was immediatly made but Moses could not be found. Then tle boat was closely examined by the party of hunters that camped at Andrews cabin and Moses hat, coat, shoes and empty purse was found in the boat, The wiring of tae engine was tangled and discon- nected and a closer search disclosed blood spots on the engine, floor, sidewalk and bedding,
 After a thorough search for the body the party returned to EVrar- gell and reported the facts to Chief Shakes and the officials.
 That evening the party of hunt CTS togeather with Chief Shakes and George Shakes, went back to Andrews Creek to make a more thorough search for the body but failed to recover 1t.
 From the condition of the boat and the fact that the whole party went to bed while 1t was yet early in the afternoon, it looks as though drink was responsible for the acci- dent or crime if crime was commit ted.

deplorable killings which ever oc-
Cured in this county happened in
the sub-station Of the Aikcn-Augusta
Railway Company, just this side of
Granitevillc, about o'clock on Sat-
urday night. Lawrence Wise, made
crazy by whiskey, according t, testi-
mony, walked into the sub-station
and literally shot John Duncan to
pieces.
There were no witnesses to
the killing, but the cause OF the fuss
was over the report which was to be
sent i'm to the manager Of the sub
station. Both Wise and Duncan
were employed in this station, one
being the night man, while the other
was the day man. They were the
best OF friends, and after the killing
Wise remarked that he had killed the
best friend he had. Wise shot Dun
can six times. Three bullets passed
entirely through the dead mans

MASKED MEN ROB MAIL TRAIN.
Express and Postal Cars Rihed-Two
of Crew Hurt.


Erie, Pa, June 30.--A fast mail
| and passenger train on the Philadel
phia & Erie Railroad was held up to-
night five miles from here by a band
OF dozen masked men. The mail
and express cars were rifed and two
of the crew, a mail clerk and conduc-
tor, were injured. The former was
shot in the right side and was taken
to hospital in dying condition,
while the latter received serious inju-
ries when hit with stone thrown
by one of the robbers.
The train was due in this city at
1910 tonight. A few minutes be-
fore 10 o'clock, when the train was
making large curve, the engineer
saw an obstruction ahead. He ap-
piled the brakes, but could not stop
the train before the engine crashed
into the ties and telegraph poles
placed across the track.
When the train hit the obstruction
1t was believed by the passengers that
there had been collision with ano-
ther train. The next moment, how
ever, the crack Of revolvers acQuaint-
ed them with the real cause Of the
trains stop. AS the train came to
standstill several of the passengers
alighted to learn the trouble. Their
presence dew the fire Of the band of
masked men and there was a STAN
pede to re-enter the cars.
An unknown passenger caught hold
of one Of the robbers and was picked
up bodily and thrown over 30-foot
embankment. His condition is seri-
Gus.
Command the Doors.
Almost before the train had
reached the obstruction the masked
men had taken up their positions at
practically every entrance to the cars.
When the passengers began pouring
from the cars there were a few gruff
orders from the men to get back in-
side. When a number Of the eX..
cited passengers failed to take this
advice the bandits opened fire. They
shot along the sides Of the cars, level
with the windows, and this evidently
put an end to the curiosity Of the
passengers. number of women
tainted, while the screams Of others
caused much confusion. The train
arrived in this city about midnight.
The passengers were badly frightened
and could not give connected story
of what had occurred.
According to the opinion here, it
was not train that expert robbers
could be expected to attack. 1t is
believed the bandits were foreigners.
Officers On Scene.
Within few moments after word
! Of the hold-up was received here,
every officer in the city was called
into action. Many Of them boarded a
| special train for the scene, while 9TH
ers were taken there in automobiles
and other conveyances.
Late tonight the surrounding coun-
try was dotted with men and lanterns
searching for the men and contents
OF mail bags and valuable packages
| taken from the train.
