this principle for the peaceful adjustment

A Triple Tragedy

Last Sunday night the Indian village of Douglas witnessed tragedy that resulted in the death of three persons, two white men and an Indian woman. They are Emile Senecel lknown as FrencbyJ, Ed Hunsaker, and Lucy, Hunsaker's divorced wife, formerly known as Lucy Shellhouse. Many con- flictiug stories are told of the events leading up 10 the shooting, which was all done by Hunsaker.
 Some time in the evening, near 10 o'clock, Senecel talias Frencby) was walking through the Indian settlement with the woman Lucy, when they met Huusaker, who called Frenchy a vile name and attempted to strike him with a billy. Frenchy, who was large, powerful man, easily bested bis assail- ant, took the club away from him, finging it down on the beach. Hun saker came at him again and Frenchy knocked him down. This was repeated. Then Hunsaker drew a revolver and fired, the bullet striking Freuchy just below the left breast He fell to the sidewalk dead, and the woman leaned over him, when Hunsaker placed the revolver against or near the back of her head aud fired again. She fell against Frenchy, where she died in a welter of blood.
 During the excitement which fol- lowed, Huusaker quietly withdrew to his cabin and locked the door. When the officers of the law came after him some time later he paid no attention to their demands for admittance, but when the door was broken open his pistol spoke again and the marshals rushed into the cabin Co find Huusaker stretched upon the floor with gaping wound over his left eye, from which his life's blood was pouring.
 Emile Senecel was native of the state of Massachusetts, 36 years of age, aud before coming to Douglas was member of the 10th Infantry stationed at Fort Seward. During his residence in Douglas he has been employed at tbe Canteeu saloon. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Con. gregational church and the body was inferred at the Douglas cemetery.
 The native woman, Lucy, was edu. cated at the mission school at Sitka and Chemawa. She was the divorced wife of Ed Huusaker, the decree having been granted at the present term of court at Juneau. Her funeral Was held yesterday afternoon.
 Ed Huusaker has been a resident of Douglas for many years, and it is thought that his recent matrimonial troubles had unbalanced bis reason.
