Man-Hunters Find No Trace of Dunham in the Mountains. SMITHS CREEK, Car., May 3L.—The pursuit of Murderer James Dunham to- | day, was crowned by disappointment. | A Calamity of the Moscow Character Narrowly Awerted at a Rail- | road Station. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 31.—Grand and Florissant avenues, the main thorough- fares to Bellefontaine and Calvary ceme- teries, were covered to-day with a con- tinuous stream of carriages following the victims of the tornado to their last resting- places. The appearance of the hearses in the sad vrocession alone punctuated the points where one funeral party ended and another began. There was a sunless sky and the somber clouds dripped a misty rain, as if Nature was weeping at her own dreadful work. Fitty-one of the victims were buried to-day in this city and thirty- | nine in East 8t. Louis. The work of searching the ruins has gone steadily on. Two hundred work- house prisoners were set to work upon the ruins of the City Hospital. Health Officer Btarkloff is stiil of the opinion thiat a num- ber of bodies are under the ruins, and the | work was pushed with vigor. Upto6p. M. no bodies were found. Lack of laborers in East St. Louis hampered search work. The labor agitator is abroad in that city and his infamous work has had its effect, #s in some cases $1 an hour was demanded ior searching the ruins. Three patients died in St. Mary’s Hos- pital in East St. Louis to-day. They were John Kelly, Mrs: en Henness Adolph Hanschel. Most of the work ther is directed to searching the ruinsof the Vandalia freight depot and other build- | ings about the eastern approach to the Eads vridge. All the railroads have placed on sale ! “‘tornado-rate” tickets at all points within a radius of 250 miles of St. Louis, and to- day there are 50,000 strangers here view- ing the ruins. Relief work has been systematized. Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd, chairman of the committee, says 3500 deserving applicants received assistance to-day. The fund for this purpose this morning footed up $91.- 568 The mails are beginning to bring sub- scriptions from the whole country. While the demand for heip is great, it is still be- lievea that the citizens of this city will be able to care for all witiout appealing for | outside aid. The criminal exaggeration of damage done to large buildings and hotels by neswspaper correspondents is to be investi- gated. Notone large hotel in this city suffered even temporary inconvenience. The convention auditorium, which was represented to be obliterated, was slightly damagei. Contractor McClure repaired the building in a few hours, and to-morrow it will be turned over to the Business Men’s League, ready for occupation. The city is rapidly recovering from the shock of the disaster, and very soon the storm will be onl The only addition to the death-list to- day was Carlo nero, a peddler, who died at the Alexian Brothers’ Hospital at 9 p. M. There are three unknown corpses at the City Morgue. The steady shower to-day found hundreds of families unpro- tected save by hastily constructed . lean- tos against the few remaining walls, Some were provided with tents. Three hundred of from Jefferson Barracks to-day. The Provident Association, the Business Men’s Lesgue ar.d the Public Relief Commitiea bave provided for 150 families, each re- ceiving food sufficient for two weeks, and such shelter as could be secured. All the transfer and express companies have hauled free the few belongings of the suiferers who secured rvoms. Attendanee at all the churches was un- usually large, and the services were memorial in character. Dr. Schuyler, dean of Christ Church Cathedral, held a special afternoon service, at which a large sum was contributed to swell the relief fund. The two services at Pilprim Con- gregational Church yielded nearly $1000. Contributions were made in all churches the relief until the need ceased. Arrangements have been made by every society, church and gunild in the city for benefit entertainments. A panic was prevented to-night at Union station by the prompt work of the «pecial detail of fifty policemen. The 50,000 out of-town visitors who had viewed the ruins gathered 2t the station about 8 o'clock. The Midway, the grand hall on the second floor, the waiting-rooms and every passage- way were packed with humanity. It was impossible to open the gates. Assistant Chief Keiley marshaled a squad of men at the Twentieth-streot en- trance and began forcing the crowd through the baggage-tramway to the train eheds. It took half an hour to relieve the pressure. Women fainted, children screamed and men fought. Three women were injured and eight children were separated from their friends. There are probably a thousand strangers in the lower half of the city to-night wandering helpless in the dark ruins.

Footprints were | visible, but they were not mude by Dun- bam, and there was not the sli-htest evi- dence that he had reached the San Isabel at that point. The footprints were evi- dently those of a fisherman. The Sheriff's posse returned to Smiths Creeks at. 7 o’clock this evening.

How Dunham Represented His Finan- cial Status to a Neighbor. SAN JOSE, CaL., May 31.—There seems | to/be much confusion as to the amount of money Dunham took with him. He is | quoted as saying to his neighbor and ac- quaintance a few days before the murder | that he was “getting down to cases,” hav ing only about $300 left. | | It is known that he drew out $1000 from | the savings bank here on the day before the murder, closing his account. He is | reperted again to have sold out his nursery enterprigse at Chico for $10,000, and some | peovle who claim to know estimate his | worth at this timeto be about $12,000. ; This, however, can hardly be trne, | Itis known that his mother left neither | of the sons much money, and certainly this | vagabond who has developed into a mur- | derer never accumulated any by himself. It is said that “Old Kate,” Dunham’s mother, hated her son *Jim” becaunse in the quarrel that separated the father and mother “Jim' sided with the father. When the father went away Jim- went with him. * When Dunham was married to his brother’s fiance, Hattie Wells, it was gen- erally understood that he had no money. The young couple went away to getup their establishment elsewhere. It was given out at that time that Dun- ham had a small sum, but it was generally understood in the meighborhood by thy neighbors that the McGlincys rave it to him, as they were a rather high-strung family and did not wish the idea to be- come current that their daughter had married a penniless man, How much of all this is true cannot be stated, but it is certain that it was only since he married that Dunham quit work- ing at manual labor and turned gentle- man. & il Futile Search Near Livermore. LIVERMORE, CAL., May 31.—Constable Fitzgerald and Town Marshal Taylor re- turned to-night after three days’ search for murderer Dunham. They scoured the hills and canyons between Livermore and Mount Hamiiton without success.

CARGO IN THE OCEAN. Chased and Fired Upon by{K Spanish Gunboats, but Out- runs Them. SHELLS FELL THICK AND FAST. Many of Her Crew Missing—Some Drowned, Others Undoubtedly Captured and Shot. PHILADELPHIA, Pi., May 3L—Al conjecture regarding the whereabouts of the now famous filibustering steamer | Bermuda were set at rest to-day when she | steamed up the Delaware River and made | fast to her pier. She came from Puerto | Cortez, Honduras, and, instead of arms | and ammunition, her cargo consisted of | 8400 bunches of bananas and 8000 silver | dollars. The silver was taken out to buy fruit, but the strike among the fruit-cut- ters made it impossible to secure a full cargo and passengers on Cuban soil wasa | flat failure, and the escape of the vessel | from destruction by Spanish shell was | little short of a miracle. | The Bermuda sailed from Philadelphia on April 24 in command of Captain | O’Brien for Jacksonville. She sailed from ' Captain Riley, who succeeded O’Brien. The expedition was made up-of ninety-six men from Key West, Tampa and Phila~ delphia in command of General Vidal, soldier of the former resolution and a na- | tive of Santiago dé Cuba. The cargo.cou- sisted of two Gatling guns, 1000 rifles, 500.- | 000 rounds of ammunition and 1000 pounds of dynamite. | An attempt was made under General | Vidal’s order to land on the might'of May 4 at a point on the coast.of Cuva ten miles west of Cardenas.

The fate of the others 1s not known, but it is be- lieved that the greater number were caught on the coast and probably shot by the | Spaniards. At least twenty-three of the party are missing. The other passengers were landed on the coast of Honduras and | afterward at Mobile, Ala., on the steamer Clearwater. The fateof Dr. Emilio Cabana | is unknown, but he is believed to have | been among those lost. | — SENATOE MORGAN TALKS. He Flays the President for His Aulo-g eratic Conmduct. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31.—Sena- tor Morgan of the Senate Committce on Foreign Relations and author of the joint resolution recognizing the existence of a | state of war in Cuba ana declaring the | neutrality of the United States, when asked to-day concerning the possibility of securing action upon the resolution before adjournment said: § “Unless the House shall act wupon Hyde’s resolution, which is identical with- the resolution offered by me in the Senate that is now neld up in the committee on Foreign Relations, Congress will probably disperse before any further action is pos- sible. That responsibility will doubtless hasten the dispersion of some Senators, The disposition of the majority of the Sen- ate committee is to devolve upon the Pres- ident a resposibility that he is evidently eager to assume.” “And,”” he says, ‘“for a Government with three co-ordinate departments, of which we boast, we are making a strange | and rapid movement toward re-establish- ing the royal prerogative in the hands of our executive as an uncontrollable power. If any British constitutional power was destroyed in America by the revolution ot 1776 it was the prerogative of the crown. 1f the President, acting alone, can substi- tute the entire body of the laws of war for the laws of peace which now govern our | relations with Cuba, and if he can make this total revolution of our legal status as citizens and as & Nattion binding upon us by his proclamation, 1t is in vain that we abolished the roya! prerogative in our Federal constitution.” Pursuing this point further Mr. Morgan said: “In the present state of political agitation in the country it is dangerously apparent that a declaration of war with Bpain or the declaration of the existence of a state of war in Cuba, made on the sole authority of the President, would create a fever of excitement in the country that would remove all other questions now under discussion in the minds of the people and would control the Presidential election near at hand.” Mr. Morgan dsclared that if aiter such a declaration by the proclamation of the President Congress should refuse to sus- tain the movement, a condition of anarchy would follow, and he is firmly convinced that the President will not venture on so dangerous a course when Congress dis- perses. Alluding to the actual existence of war in Cuba, notwithstunding the paper and diplomatic denials thereof by Spain, Mr, Morgan says Spain violates her treaties with the United States for offenses (which he enumerates) before military tribunals organized to convict, and the only means | organizations in Los Angeles. to prevent such conduct is to declare the existence of a state of war in Cuba, unless we declare war and fizht it out. Senator Morgan, following up the sub- ject in a substantial reitera‘ion of many of the remarks made by him in his speeches on the Cuban question, asserts as follows: “The President has refused to inform Congress of the attitude of the Executive Department as to the conviction and sen- tence to death of our citizens who were captured on the Competitor. That is not a negotiation. No new treaty is needed to cover our rights on that subject. Itis an accomplished fact, and the victims are in prison under a void seutence insultingly imposed upon them. It was not the con- [ stitutional right of the President to with- hold these facts from Congress, but he availed himself of the courtesy of the Sen- ate to decline to give any information on the subject in response to a resolution of the Senate. “Congress has no official information as to this incident of the war, and the Senate has by resclution requested ity Committee on Foreign Relations to report on the rights of our citizens under our treaties in cases of capture like that of the Com- petitor.” The facts, he thinks, should be in- quired into, and it ought not to be left to the “President alone to decide the fate of the prisoners under death sentence with- out their immediate representatives in either House being informed of the grounds of their condemnation.” -— RECENT BATTLE IN CUBA. The Spaniards Victorious, of Course. Execution of Prisoners Goes On. HAVANA, Cusa, May 31.—A summary of the official reports of the engagements that took place on Friday between Gov- ernment troops and rebels shows that the insurgents lost twenty-nine killed and two wounded, and the troops four killed, in- cluding a captain and a lieutenant, and thirteen wounded. Francisco Pelaez Aguilar has been shot at Puerto Principe for the crime of rebel- lion. Jose Rodriguez Exposito has been executed at Matanzas for the same crime. The authorities at Puerto Principe are strengthening the deferses of the city, fearing an attack by the insurgents. The band of Emilio Collazo has destroved the buildings and growing crops on the Andrea estate near Batabano. It is said that a filibustering expedition under Rafael Cabrera has landed at Punia de Ganado, near Neuvitas. Reports received here state that three columns of Spanish troops, acting to- gether, met a force of rebels near Mani- caragua, in thé Remedios district; and after a sharp fght succeeded in dislodging | the insurgents. from the strong positions occupied by them and compelling them to retreat, leaving fifty dead on the field. Among the insurgents: killed were the leaders Toledo and Fonseca. The rebels also lost forty wounded. The lossof the troops is-not stated. General .Ochoa reports that his com- mand has defeated the rebel bands under Pancho and Rodriguez near Jaruco, in the Havana province, killing fourteen of the insurgents. Three of General Ochoa'’s force were wounded. — SMALLPOX IN MORO CASTLE, Sixteen Victima of the Disease Removed to the Hospital.

MADRID, Seacy, May 31.—A dispateh to the Imparcial from Havana saysthat a Spanish fcrce has defeated the rebels at Cienfuegos, killing fifty of them. LOS ANGELES CHURCH WAR. Rev. Burt Estes Howard Suspended by the Presbyterian General Assembly at Saratoga. LOS ANGELES, Car., May 21.—In days agone the First Presbyterian Church of this city was among the strongest evangelical Its house of worship stood at the corner of Broad- way and Second street, whers now stands a great business block, almost in the very heart of the business center of the city. Some of the ablest talent in that denomi- nation from time to time edified and en- tertained some of the most intelligent and fashionable audlences that ever gathered in Los Angeles. Those were happy and prosperous days for the First Church. They now, alas! seem gone forever. The church bas been split in twain, and one of its pastors has been suspended from the ministry by the action of the General Assembly et Sarstoga, N. Y., after one of the hottest tights ever known to its denomination. A division arcse over the sale of the valuable property referred to and the selection of a new site, which, by the action of the presbytery, was settled on a basis of two organizations—the Central and the Westminster. The dissatisfied appealed to the synod over the question of the money involved in the settl ment, wherein the Westmin- ster wing dechined to divide proceeds of the sale.” The synod reversed the decision | of the presbytery by which Rev. Bert Howard was suspended, and tne session was dissolved, The synod did, however, sustain the presbytery in dividing the church, but the Central people had yet the “court of last resort”—the General Assem- bly—-aml to this body it went for redress. The General Assembly is now in: session at Saratoga. The battle has been lost and won, and Bert Estes Howard is a sus- pended minister and the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles holds no services. . LOS ANGELES MEXICAN SHOT. Outcome of an Old Quarrel—The Man Is Expectsd to Die. LOS ANGELES, CaL., May 31.—As the result of an old quarrel Allen Kingsbury shot Rafael Vajalva near Compton this afternoon. The injured man is expected to die. About 4 o’clock Kingsbury was return- ing from the aepot to his home, and when nearly there met Vajalva walking in the road with anoiher Mexican. Vajalva toid Kingsbury to stop, and then, so the latter clairnls, reached back as though to draw a pistol. ~ The weapon stuck in the pocket and while Vajalva was trying to get it locse Kingsbury drew a revolver and shot the other. The bullet entered the leit side below the ribs. The companion of Vajalva fled and Kingsbury hurriedly drove home. He was arrested later. Kingsbury claimed that Vajalva threatened last Tuesday to kill him. e PIUCNIC AT SAN JOSE. Pleasant Outing of the Fruit and Poultry Dealers’ Association. ¢ SAN JOSE, CAL, May 31.—The first grand outing of the Fruit and Poultry Dealers’ Association was held at Agricul- tural Park to-day, and for numbers and quietness, the affair eclipsed any of the kind in this vicinity this season. The best of order was mainiained all day, and Officers Charleston and Ward of the San Francisco police force, who were detailed to accompany the picnickers, “H.

Gold-Standard Men Fighting to| Gain a Senator and Two Representatives. MANY TICKETS IN THE FIELD. The Erratic Ex-Governor Pennoyer Likely to - Be Chosen Mayor of Portiand. PORTLAND, Or., May 31.—The Oregon | State election to-morrow will have sig- nificance and interest as being the ‘“first gun” of the Presidential campaicn. It will, however, be impossible for politicians | in other States to get much satisfaction from the result because of the demoralized condition of the three parties. Ever since the fighting and shooting at the April pri- maries in this city this carpaign has been intensely exciting, and never before was there an election which caused more anxiety than the one which will take place to-moorow. Two Congressmen are to be elected—ous | for each district—together with a Supreme Judge and city, county and legslative | officers throughout the State. In nearly | every county and y there are three | tickets in the fieldi—Republican, Demo- | cratic and Populist—and in some cities there are independent tickets and two Re- publican tickets. In the First Congressional District T. Jefferson Myers the Democratic and W. 8. | Vanderberg the Populist, Tongue will un- doubtedly be elected, with Vanderberg a fair second. Tongue’s position on the coinage question is nebulous, shough he is supposed to be against the free- coinage of silver. @ In the Becond Distriet, including Port- land, the nominees are: W. R. Ellis, Re- publican and present Congressman; H. H. Northup, Independent Republican; A. 8. Bennett of The Dalles, Democratic, and Martin Quinn of Portland, Poypulist. Ellis is the-regular nominee and has voted for free coinage in Congress. His friends claim that he is yet for free coinage, while some of them maintain that he will stand upon the St. Louis plattorm, let it be what it may. The big fight isin the Second District. The “sound” money leaders were not satisfied with the nomination of Ellis at the State convention. They put up Judge H. H. Northup, who has been conducting a vigorous ‘*sound” money campaign. His election is claimed by bis friends,| but it is not likely. He wul | draw | ‘“‘sound” money votes from Ellis, the reg- | ular nominee, and a few irom Bennett, | the Democratic nominee. Both Bennett | and Quinn are three silver candidates and one gold- standard man. Northup may withdraw enough votes from Ellis to elect the Pop- ulist, Quinn. The general belief is that Ellis will be elected, with Quinn a close | second. | On the election of members of the Legis- lature depends the return of Hon. John H. Mitchell to the Senate. He stands for | free silver. Most of the outside Jlegisiative nominees are for silver, but possibly not enough to elect him without the Multno- mah County members. A bolting county convention was held in Portland, which named legisiative candidates favorable to Mitchell. The regular convention named, candidates who are against Mitchell and free coinage and probably for ex-Senator Dolph. The bolters have taken the name of Mitchell Repubticans, They named Gen- eral Charles F. Beebe for Mayor. The regular Republicans nominated D. Solis Cohen, and the Democrats, Populists and Taxpayers’ League combined on ex-Gov- ernor . Sylvester Pennoyer. The chances of election are in favor of Pennoyer, but with six tickets in the field prophecies are uncertain. There are Democrats, Repub- licans, Mitchell Republicans, Populists, Middle-of-the-Road Populists and Tax- payers’ League, and never was there such a political mix-up in Portland. Each has named candidates, who now number 312, for about forty county, legislative and city offices. —_— LOS ANGELES DEMOCRATS. Buckley’s Fight to Control the County Delegation. LOS ANGELES, Can, May 31.—The strife at the late meeting of the Los An- geles County Democratic Centrai Com- mittee will be renewed at next Tuesday’s primaries. The Patton-Stephens-Harris- Gaffey element made a winning at that time against the Mitchell-Marsh-McCai- fery-railroad faction by the small majority of two votes, so it can be seen that honors are about equally divided so far as the | ‘“‘machinery” of the party is concerned. As the record now stands the Patton crowd is on top, as it won the fight for precinct instead of ward primaries. * The result of the primaries will deter- mine whetber General Last or George S. Patton shall be chairman of the county convention on June 13. It is known that Buckley’s hand has been thrust into this local fight on behaif of the Last-Mitchell contingent. If the Patton faction makes a winning in the primaries and the conven tion, which now seems probable, Buck- ley’s 8an Francisco following will be given but little comfort from Los Angeles County. On the contrary, if the opposi- tion should foree to the .ront there will be an immense leverage avsilable to Buckley in his fight against the San Francisco Junta. The delegates at large from the State will probably be 8. M. White, W. W. Foote, George S. Patton and Barney Mur- phy, although the northern Democrats speak of Pond instead of Patton. e g WARRING FACIIONS IN FRESNO, Cleveland Democrats Fighting to Control the County Convention. FRESNO, CAL., May 31.—The Democrats will meet in county convention to-morrow to select delegates to the State Conven- tion. and an interesting time is assured. The gold-standari leaders have already or- ganized to run things their own way, while the silver men, although not organized as found little to do except to keep a passage- way clear for foot-racers and bicycle-riders while the prize contests were on during the afternoon. less the opposition hopes to elect its dele- gates to xfie State Convention. The “sound” moneyv Democrats here are all enthusiastic administration Democrats and they would like to indorse Cleveland and gold in California. They are exceed- inglg anxious to have no platform about anybody or anything. They are vigor- ously advocating that no public expres- sion should be made until the National Convention speaks on the great issues of tariff, finance and funaing. It is ursed that this should be done to prevent a split in the party. The siiverites, headed by Assemblyman N. L. F. Bachman, ex-Assemblyman E. H. Tucker and others, point out that the proposition of the gold adherents is but a ruse to get their representatives to the State convention. Bachman and Tucker have announced that they will make them- selves heard in the convention, and they claim that when the country delegates have matters explained to them they will, withont question, snow under the goldbug aspirations. Many of the gold men are in favor of funding the Pacific roaas’ debts, and an attempt will be made to keep the conven- tion silent on this issue. But Messrs. Bachman and Tucker say that they will bave an anti-funding plank indorsed. It is reported that some want to indorse the administration of Governor Budd, but numerous applicants for appointments tgat never came will undoubtedly stop that. The goldites have fixed upon E. D. Ed- wards for chairman of the convention. 1f they cannot elect him they will try to elect Juage M. K. Harris. The country delegates will not arrive until the morn- ing, and the silverites have not decided upon _their candidate as yet. Assembly- man Bachman will likely be the man. The following is the gold-standard slate for the selection of delegatesto the State Convention: E.D. Edwards. W. W. Phil- lips, John McMullin, Dr. W. T. Maupin, W. D. Crichton, James A. Burns of Selma, M. K. Harris, Captain Frank Barrett of elma, J. P. Meux, George E.Church, L. V. Moultrie. An attempt will be made to indorse Mr. Church for delegate to the National Con- vention. As a-result of the strife the silverites will attempt to oust the present county central committee, of which Dr. Maupin is chairman. e e San Mateo Democrats, REDWOOD CITY, CaL, May 30.—At a meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee yesterday these delegates to the State Convention at Sacramento on June 16 were appointed: Martin Kelly, Colma; William F.

SEATTLE, Wasm, May 3l.—Death claimed one of Seattle’s noted characters to-day in the person of Princess Angeline, daughter of Chief Seattle, from whom the city took its name. This Indian queen will ever be held in grateful remembrance by pioneers of Seattle, from the fact that | she betrayed a piot of her own people to | massacre the entire population of the vil- | lage, amounting to four or five hundred souls. 3 Throughout 1855 many depredations were committed by Indians on both sides of the Cascades, white men being mur- {dered in great numbers. The people of | Seattle, in the fall of that year, hanged | two or three Indians for the murder of | two white men on the shore of Lake Union. | This incited the red men to even greater | hostilities, and in January, , 1000 | Klickitat and Duwamish Indians, und Chiefs Leschi and Cloyenm (beatitu i Leschi Park in this city fakes its nume from the former), assembled .upon the | eastern shore of Lake Washington, It was arranged that the atfack ‘ipon | Reattle should be made at 10 §clock on | the morning of Jancary 26, and another | simultaneously upon Fort, #teilacoom. | Angeline imparted informstion of the | propased butchery * to ler pale-faced “Tuiacums’ three or four'days in advance, so the whites were enabled to make fairly good preparations for the defense. | Indeed by chance Seattle -had in her | harbor a regular man-of-war, the old De- | catur. 5 All day on the 25th Indians were cross- ing Lake Washington in canoesand skulk- | ing, preparatory to the atteck on the fol- | lowing morning, in the woods and on | the hills where are now the most beautiful | residences in the city. | Meanwhile the whites were not idle. A | few women residents took refuge upon the boats, and on the morning of the Z6:h, | about 8 o’clock, the Decatur, commanded by Captain Gansvoort, began shelling the | hills. | A land force consisting of ninety-six marines and the male residents of the | town, divided into four divisions, com- manded by Lieutenant Phelps, Drake, Hughes and Morse, kept up the attack. | The Indians returned and fought 1 for silver. There are | Bookman then kicked Bolton under the | savagely for an hour or more, but were finally forced to retreat. No whites were killed and the Indian loss was light. Angeline was no doubt actuated in her | course by the teachings of her royal sire, who always sought to maintain friendly re- lations with the whites on Puget Sound. Ever after this memorable event she was looked upon as the savior of the town, and for years the County Commissioners, in recognition for her services, have pro- vided her with whatever she might desire in the way of the necessaries of liie; but be it said to the Indian princess’ credit that she seldom availed herself of tnis op- portunity. Some enterprising real estate men pro- posed taking Princess Angeline to the Worid’s Fair as an advertisement for the State, but she flatly refused to lend her- self to any such purpose. She was time 2nd again tendered a com- fortable house and home by older resi- | dents of the city, but she steadfastly de | clined the kindly offers, spending her dee clining years where shedied ina typical Indian hut overlooking the sound. It was in October prior to the attempted massacre that brave Lieutenant Slaughter was shot down on the site of the town in this county bearing his name, while lead- ing his men against a band of hostile Duwamish Indians.
