Year: 1878

lac, a constable and saloon proprie-


tor at New Tacoma, had in his ser


vice a young man named Frank


Hawks, in whom he reposed unlim-


tied confidence, entrusting him with


the keys of his safe and the entire


control of his business. One day


last week Mr.. Galliac had become


possessed OF 500, which he handed


to Hawks with request that he


place it in the safe, at the same time


telling him that he was going out of


town and would not be back for
day or two. The sight of SO much
money, and the absence of his en-
ployer was too great a stimulant for
the cupidity of Hawks. and just be-
fore the steamer sailed for Seattle
he rified the safe of its contents,
consisting of the 500 and a fine
gold chronometer watch and chain,
and some loose change, and took
passage for this port. After robbing
the safe he closed the door, but in
his Iurry left the key in the lock.
The next day Mr.. Galliac returned,
and seeing the condition of affairs,
and learning the direction which
the thief had taken, determined to
pursue him in person. He accord
ingly took passage on the Zephyr,
and Us the steamer was making her
landing, to his surprise and delight
he discovered the very man he was
looking for standing upon the wharf
Keeping out of sight until the
steamer landed, he sprang ashore,
and rushing upon Hawks with
cecked revolver demanded his mon
ey and watch. The latter. fairly
Gagged, disgorged at once; fell upon
his KEGS and with tears and suppli-
cations b sought Galliac 10 let him
go. Galliac. manifesting a better
nature than could be expected under
the circumstances, suffered the
scoundrel to depart. and the next
day returned to New Tacoma.
Hawks has relations at Olympia,
and is well known on the Sound.


BOLD ROBBERY. - Between the
hours of one and two o'clock on
Saturday night, one of the boldest
robberies which we have yet had to
chronicle was committed in a house
kept by nymph du pare, near the
corner of Washington and Second
streets. While the inmates of the
house were eating their lunch in a
neighboring restaurant, thief en-
tered, and seizing trunk which
contained the woman's money and
other valuables, took it out to the
rear of the premises, and breaking
it open rifed It's contents, consist
ing of $214 in coin and a quantity
of jewelry. The thief made off with
his booty, and will probably escape
justice, as no clue to him has been
discovered. Thus glides the wages
of sin.


RUMoRs.-We learn from a party
just up from Port Susan, that the
Indians in that neighborhood are
becoming quite overbearing and
offensive in their conduct towards
the whites. The young men state
that they are constantly urged by
old bucks to 60 on the war path and
Join the Bannocks, and an outbreak
is much feared. As precautionary
measure it is the plain duty of Ind
ian agents to gather in and confine
upon their several reservations all
Indians who may be found at large.


SAYS the Hawaiian Gazette: "The
Royal Hawaiian Theater was we'll
patropizsd on Saturday evening, on
which occasion Mr.. Jack gave the
audience arich treat in Family Jars
and Handy Andy. Mr.. Jack, who
is always pleasing and entertaining,
acted with his usual vivacity and
spirit, and was sustained throughout
the evening by the charming Miss
Firmin and Miss Ingles." We are
glad to learn that John is doing 80
we'll, as he will now be enabled to
liquidate some bills left unsettled
by him when last in this city.


The C1r1 ELECTION, up to the
time of going to press, has passed
off without disturbance of any kind.
The contest has been sharp and
fierce on both sides, the friends of
the several candidates working with
might and main for their choice.
No approximation of the result can
be reached, although the state Of
the polls at P. NJ. would indicate
the election Of the entire Peoples
ticket.


A widow in Portland put Grape on
her door. 1t remained there about
week before the landlord made
bold to interrupt her grief, and
when he entered he found the house
empty. Her grief was SO intense
that she had inadvertently removed
all the furniture. The debt of ma
ture which had been paid was sup
positions. The debt for the rent
remains uncanceled. And yet they
say that women are not calculated
for business.
