(Contiaued from Last Week.
 We had good deal of trouble with the Indians in Juneau. Three of them killed white man half way up the Basin. We captured them and plac- ed them in jail The next morning the tailor removed the hand cuffs which had been placed upon them, and as soon as this was done they overpowered him and killed him.
 We heard the shooting and one of them was shot dead by the pioneers while he was running away The other two escaped into the woods. We went to the chief and told him that we wanted those Indians, and that unless he got them for us we would hang him. He sent some Indians through the woods, who finally found them and brought them to us. Judge Fuller tri- ed them and sentenced them to De hung. We built scaffold and execut- ed the sentence.
 While they were suspended by ropes, a steamer arrived from Seattle, and when the passengers came ashore and saw the Indians, they ran back aboard the steamer. We were standing around with rifles in our hands, and 1 suppose the situation looked pretty bad to them, especially as the Indians were holding war dance in their village.
 We permitted the Indian women to come up and look at them, but we would not let the men come near until we had cut them down. Then we sent them word that they could come and get the bodies and bury them, if they wanted, and that if they did not, we would bury them.
 We received a message from the In dians at Sitka, in which they demand ed a thousand dollars worth of blan-

 We had trouble with the Indians once more after that. Some white men got some Wrangell Indians to bring them up to Juneau.
 The Wrangell Indians were at war with Juneau Indians and when the Wran gell Indians came ashore, they were taken to the village and made slaves. We went to them and demanded the Wrangell Indians. The Juneau Indians poured out of their houses, armed with pistols and knives, and looked very threatening, but after we had knocked a few of them over with our guns, they brought out their captives and sur rendered them to us. We guarded the Wrangell Indians, after that. until we had an opportunity to send. them to their homes in safety. We cared lit tie for the temper of the Indians, then, for we had plenty of guns and ammu- milton.
 Still, they were killing people right along They killed man in Douglas, and threw his body into the water. I had trouble with them myself in Doug las. They used to come around at night, tearing off shingles and break ing windows and doors. They tried to get into my house one night. I heard them coming up, and was pre- pared. I shot one of them through the arm and another through the leg. I was arrested for this, but was cleared.

On, the way Goshaw stopped at the company's store, and surrepti- tiously obtained some of those small indigo balls which are sold for laun dry purposes in pretty nearly every grocery store in the United States,
 The Alaska Commercial Company maintains a bath house at Unalaska, in which there are three baths, sepa- rated from each other by partitions which lack, two or three sfeetsof reach ing the ceiling. Goshaw maneuvered for the middle bath, but finding it. i'm possible to secure this without arous ing suspicion, he took one of the out CT baths, Green taking the middle one. As. soon ass the sasplashing had commenc, ed in the middle tub, Goshaw noisless, ly attained the top of the partition,
  and watching his opportunity, dropped sufficient number of the balls to pro- duce the desired effect. Goshaw spent some time watching the sensation the phenomenon produced on the bather, and then went out and told his friend, Dr. Romig.
 The next day, while pr. Romig and Green were having a conversation to- gether, Dr. Romig mentioned in 8 casual way that he very much feared that Westward Alaska was about to suffer considerably from the Asiatic plague. A

 "What are the symptoms, Doctor" " inquired Green.
 "Well, one curious thing for which no one has been able to account, is the fact that when a man who has been in- oculated with the disease takes bath, the water turns blue.'
 At that the doctors auditor turned white, but when the joke was explain ed to him he turned red, but afterward resumed his normal color.

Death of Old Bob"

Bob aged 20 years passed away
yesterday at the hands of kind Off.
Ger who had been sought out to re-
lieve him of his suffering. Man after
man was approached to relieve Bob
OF further suffering, but when the po-
lice went to the barn and saw the
object it was sought to put out of
the way their hearts failed them and
they turned away in pity.
Bob was the old yellow horse
which belonged to l. r. Best. He was
as gay a four-year-old as you ever
see when Mr.. Best purchased him
and for twenty-five years he was the
family horse of the Best's.
Upon one occasion he took part in
the famous Cheyenne-Arapaho run
for a free home. At another time
he had the honor of carrying the first
boy that ever strobe out over the
city of ArdmOre to deliver copies of
the Daily Ardmoreite to its readers.
Mr.. Best was attached TO him as to
nothing else about his place The
animal was of Indian pony eXtrac-
tion and that virtue of the Indian
OF being good to those that are good
to him was possessed by the animal.
He pulled the family carriage before
the street car was heard of but when
the car came he took no fright. He
had lived a natural lifetime l>Iore
the auto invaded the thoroughfares
of his native resort but when the
auto came he refused to take fright,
and do harm to the family that had
always driven him. Whatever his
work was, he did it well, whether it
was to pull a load or stand at the
cemetry over the grave of departed
child. Old Bob was faithful to the
end and he lived to years ripe with
trusted service and affection of the
Best household.

JUDGE GRANTS
WRIT OF MANDAMUS
ELECTION BOARD CITED TO
SHOW CAUSE WHY CERTIFl.
CATE SHOULD NOT BE ISSUED

The contest over the election OF
constable in Akers township de
yeloped new phase on Friday
when Byld Pruitt, the present in
cumbent filed in the district court
mandamus proceeding against the
county election board to require the
issuance to him of a certificate of
election Mr. PruiH Was the demo
cratic nominee for constable and
Tom Ross the republican nominee,
it is Gained by Mr. Prlitt thai
he was elected, and thai the returns
so show by "a majority of eight
votes, but that the county election
board had determined in spite of
his election, and the terms of the
precinct board, to issue the election
certificate to Ross, the republican,
Ross claiming that he had been
elected by a majority of two votes.
Upon presentation of the matter to
the court an order to show cause
was issued directing the county
board to appear in the district court
on next Wednesday and show cause
why the election certificate should
not be issued TO Mr.. Pruitt.
i}umor has it that charges and
counter charges of fraud will be
made when evidence is offered in
suppor of the contention Of these
two candidates, and lively scrap is
looked for.
Mr.. Pruitt, who seeks to compe,
the election board to issue him
certificate, has made an enviable
record as an officer, having arrested
persons who have been compelled
to work the county road than any
constable in the county His friends
claim that number of illiterate
negroes, whose convection he had Sc
cured. We're allowed to vote against
him in vocation OF the grandfather
clause of the election law On the
other hand, it is claimed that the
returns cf the precinct eJction
board show the election of Ross,
the republican, and that if such re.
tuIns now disclose any other result
that they have been tampered with
and someone is guilty of forgery.
The county election board is in
no way involved, no charge of fraud
is intimated against its members.
The case, so far as the count
board is concerned, depends wholly
upon proper construction of the
election Laws.
