SUDDEN DEATH OF CAPT. MESSEGEE

Probably no man connected with
seattle on Puget Sound was better
known than Capt, George d. Messe-
gee, who since the days of Capt,
Finch and the steamer Eliza Ander-
son, walked the deck, in some
capacity either as master or mid
dy". He was connected with the
Anderson, the Enterprise, the New
World, the Wildwood, the Fleetwood,
and doubtless many others, and it
was always when difficult or risky
trip was contemplated that the cap
tain S service was in demand such as
bringing boats from the Columbia
river, many of which were not de-
signed for deep-water service. One
of these trips was specially to be
remem oered when the Captain stood
at the Fleetwood's wheel for thirty
six hours, during prolonged, ter
rifle storm, without permitting him
self to leave his post for an instant
to supply himself with the ordinary
requirements of nature. To Capt.
Hatch. the owner. who came around
with him, who asked to relieve him
for time. he said: mo, | have
agreed to take this boat safely to the
Sound, and | will do it. Let me
have my way.
All this is a prelude to the an
nouncement that the Captain fell
dead on Fourth and Central streets,
where he was waiting to take street
car TO come down town, yesterday,
doubtless from heart trouble. His
demise was regretted by all who
knew him. He was a man among
men; one who did his whole duty, no
matter what it cost. He knew no
fear, nor shirked any peril or re-
sponsibility. The world it better
for the living of such a man.
Capt. Messegee was born in Greece
in 1897. He has been a resident OF
Olympia for % years. A widow,

DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN PIONEER

Mrs. Margaret White Chambers,
widow of the late Andrew ]. Cham
bers, who settled on the prairie
which was given that name in
1854, passed away last Friday, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Denny of Seattle Mrs.
George Talcott of this city, another
daughter, was at her bedside, as
were other relatives from this State

Hautc, Ind, in 1888, and in 1854 came
west and settled in Thurston county,
a year later she was married to An

where she remained till her husband s

daughters. A. H. Chambers, our
we'll known tOwnsman, is q nephew.
She was a member of the Pioneer
Association and the Congregational
church.
In 1903. Mrs. Chambers wrote a
very interesting little book entitled
" "reminiscences, mostly devoted to
her experience in crossing the plains
when it was trip of several months
duration over desert waste of sage
brush populated at times by hostile
tribes of Indians Mrs. c. seems
to have taken a cheerful view of the
trip however, and alludes to many in
teresting as well as beautiful natural
beauties of landscape and rare OBJ
jects of nature passed on what most
people regarded a dreary and trying
pilgrimage. Her company had no
trouble with the Indians on the Plains
but she gives a brief put graphic ac-
count of the war-times of 1856
while she resided in the hostile dis
trict here.
Mrs. Chambers interment was in
the family plot of Odd Fellows ceme-
terry, near Tumwater. Services were
held at the home of George Talcott,

THE Supreme Court holds that be-
cause the inhabitants of Everett
failed at the proper time to object to
the assessment made by their City
Council in connection with local i'm
provements, they are not entitled to
a decree annuling the assessment.
Suit was based on the contention
that the city had exceeded the so
per cent. limitation. fixed by the
charter Tor street improvements and
it was shown that the plaintiff failed
to object to the assessment and the
Snohomish court ruled that a right
to appeal had been forfeited. which
decision has been affirmed by the
Supreme Court. It is just such
neglect that the STANDARD has warned
our people against for months past,
and a similar day of reckoning is
fast approaching.

of friendly relations of our people
with that government, base their
reason: want of liberation OF certain

return to Russia are said to carry
with them a hope of immunity from

that this asylum should apply only

John Hedges has had the estate of
Mrs. NJ. E. Church settled up and
turned over to her only son, Rollin
Church. In settling up the estate,
John Hedges fee for administrator
was $4OO. and lawyers fee $500, max
ing a total of 500. 1t is the worst
craft anybody ever heard of when
the same work could have been done
for 1850. Fees for administrator
and lawyer ought to be set accord
ing to the work done and not for the
valuation of the property. 1t is
