uted MIBOER A report
rf »rbed town yesterday afternoon that
m »n named M. Peterson had been
.hot and killed near Steele's farm, on
JrypQwunisb river, by John .Moss, for
erlf of tki' c,t y < - >ur reporter was
!! r a TIME, like every one else, unable
to obtain auy particulars of the affair,
hat learning that the injured man was
o» killed, and only severely wound<.d,
V. he bad been brought into
and taken to the New England
rT»i |, e repaired thither, where he
<LL<U\ hi® under the surgical care of
f>TC*lboan, and elicited from him the
following statament: That he and
Ugn beiag in town Thursday night to
other ft®® neighborhood of Rrw>-
%almie, he dunned him for an indel*-
Ijneas of some fifteen dollars ; that
go* paid him fire dollars of the
and promised the balance
*beo they get back as far as Steele's
Mgcfc; that there was no difficulty be
.J<cn them ; that the nea£ day they
get 0® cars together; that on arriv
jp-jt Steele's place they both got off
{blttfS, and obtaining a horse there
tejflOftiig to Peterson, they proceeded
go ibfir way together along the road
bill, riding the horse alternate
ly; that atter proceeding along some
gopbkrahle distance, and while Peter
gg was riding on the horse, Moss dis
charged a pistol, the ball of which
drack liiin in the back and entered into
bis lung-; tbat then falling from his
lytfte, be bold oil to the bridle reins and
bagged for his life upon seeing the pis
tol again raised in Moss' hand; that
ynM then seemed to lose his presence
of mind, or abandon bis attempt to shoot
again, when he, Peterson, got on liis
borss agaiu, rode away, and returning
shortly after reached Steele's bouse, we
gadarktand, where he stopped until
brought into towu. Upon reaching
ban Ur. Calhoun was called, and mak
iagan examination found that Peterson
bad been shot in the back with a pistol
btll. and that it had penetrated his left
bpg. Owing to the exhausted condi
tion of the man. the Dr. deferred auy
attempt to remove the ball until to-day.
Of coarse, we have only Peterson's ver
aon of the affair and tbat was obtained,
cving to his prostration, under much
aUßculty, hut if strictly correct, as it
gh-Mild be, it would seem that Moss was
lad tothe commission of the act through
soas insane freak, or else an aban
doned heart. Moss, since, bus not been
bsard from, although a large numl>er
of persons in that neighborhood, and
ftom Beaton, shortly afterwards started
in search of him.
Best.—We ware at the furnituro uian
ahctory of Hall <fc Paulson yesterday,
•t the nilroad wharf, mid found them
101 l at business. They are prepariag to
ship a large quantity of bedsteads to
Bsn Fnncisoo on the Dakota to-day,
sad vsrs making bexes to pack them
is. The boxes measure just half a ton
•aiboateia nx bedsteads, so complete-
1; fabhsi that not au inch of waste
tpttt is lift. The bedsteads are put
kgwtbtr 6nt to see if their joints arn
perfect, then taken apart and packed
•• described. These geutlemen are rap
bailing up a very large business
udoostbst is beuud to be of great
iaportaoce to this wooden country.
SALMON.— The Puget Sound Fish
Picking Company started at Muckilteo
this seasiu, have au extensive and
•ell-conducted branch at the railroad
wharf here, under the supervision of
Mr. Hboecraft. Their packing is en
tirely on scientific principles. They
hivt largo tanks in which they first
(kit their fish to remove the blood, etc
They are thee re-packed iu barrels and
theteoood briue is fresh and cleau.
Yesterday they packed 1,500 salmon, av
enging four and oue-half pounds each.
Another packing establishment put up
JOO fish yesterday, and the business is
•the Increase.
BAD STREET. —The street from Yes
!*'• wharf up to Commercial street is
bad condition. The wet saw
dMt is about up to the hubs of a half
wded dray. Why could uot the slabs
the mill be utilised to plank it
■A auke a solid street that teams
Bight haul a decent load over. The
would not be great aod Jhe ad
'•Btage to teams hauliug merchandise
to tad from the priucipal wharf iu
town would be very great.
VliYHli.—The tun peejied through
teaiaudi for about fire minutes yes

Loss or THE CONSTITUTION -By a
telegram received yesterday afternoon
by Messrs Crawford JL- Harrington,
from San FrantWo information was
lud lit r-. ot » M;ri«u«. di«»«ter to the P
M. S. S. Constitution, which left Vic
toria on the fir-t instant. That
brief dispatch stat-j that her
wreck reached San Francisco yester
day. and that she will be %" total
los*-; but it at the same time conveys
toe importsnt intelligence that no
li**s w«re lost Owing to the wires
working badly all yest<-rd;iy afternoon
and getting down brfure evening, our
n-ual dispatches were not forthcoming
last n;ght, and we were unable to g*in
any further information a!»out the mat
ter.
SPRING BEDS.. J 5 . a . Hill, of this
place, has the right for the Territory to
manufacture th" Reader Spring Bed.
He is making on an average three a
day. an 1 rinds ready sale for them It
is a California patent, and seems the
most comfortable anil complete of any
thing of the kind in use He manufac
tures also the ISartlctt slat and spring
jjed, and furniture of all kinds; is <io
i"g a good basinets and employs three
men constantly. He Iris i monopoly of
the business and. unlike other incnopi
lists, he has reduced the price of beds
one dollar.
i-rf The ChiltxTg Brothers ire a
numerous family and certainly a most
energetic set of business men. One of
them has a furniture store and manu
factory at Olympia, another a first-class
stock of groceries and hardware at New
lacoina, and the others the well known
business house nt Kcattle, and their
father has a very valuablo property at
Pleasant Ridge on the Nwinomish fiats,
which he is dyking and cb-aring at
considerable expense. They deserve
success.
IST An alarm of fire occurred last
evening about f» o'clock. We followed
the crowd to Washington street and
found a perfect babel of voices among
the Chinese, kloochmeu and others
The street wass.»on crowded, but all the
fire to be seen was a few sparke from the
stovepipe of Mr. Ross, who keeps a
fruit store in that locality, and the only
damage done was to deluge Mr. Ross"
place with water. The engine company
was promptly on hand, but their ser
vices were not needed.
NEW CARS. —At the Seattle and
Walla Walla Kail road Company's
wharf they are building a large num
ber of coal cars for use on the road.
They have now about twenty-five com
pleted, which are of the most approved
design, and are very strongly built.
Wheels for them are cuat at the foundry
of Messrs. White & Tenny. When the
company's branch to Newcastle is com
pleted they will have use for them all
and intend to be ready.
|y Now that the long winter even
ings are approaching, why cannot our
Library Association get up a course of
lectures, say twice a month. There is
no doubt they would be liberally pat
rouized, and it would be a source of in
struction and interest. There is plenty
of talent on the Sound and fares are
reasonable. A sufficient fund could be
rained by private subscription at so
much a month for each subscriber and
guarantee its success.
SHU'I'ING. —The barkentiue Portland
it taking a deckload of lumber from
Colman's mill to San Pedro. It was a
bill sawed to order, and may detain Iter
a few days yet. The schooner Jesse
Nickerson and Ida Schnauer are also
loading with lumber. The schooner
General llamey brought a load of pota
toes yesterday from Ccnpeville, \Vbid
by Island.
ENTERPRISE. —A young uian named
Gilson brings a scow containing 30
cords of pine W.KJKI to our wharf three
times a week and finds no difficulty iu
disposing of it readily to the steamers
at two oollars and a half a cord. Wood
is plentiful and more of our idle inm
might emulate GiUon's example with
profit to themselves.
What cauie neat l>eing a serious
run away occurred yesterday on Com
mercial street. A man carelessly left a
span of Mustang* untied, while he
went anuiewherc (lie. The team started
with a nine year old child in the wagon,
but were stopped fortunately by a man
who had tome sense.
pT Moat of the passenger? on the
steamers Messenger and Otter who ar
rived here yesterday from Olvmpia.
were men diacharged from
camps which have liven closed down in
the up Sound country, and the outlook
for that kind of lalwr this winter is de
cidedly discouraging.
UT The steamer Messenger brought
a large list of passengers yesterday.
Copt. Parker re|«rts everything busy at
Olympie. and the Sound between here
and New Tacotna filled with canoe*
coming down from the hop fields. The
Otter also had a large list of passengers.
Ltrr Us. —The Emerson Troupe left
tins morning on the steamer Zepliyr for
New Taeoma, where they will perform
to-night, and to-morrow night at Ore
gon city. They are making rapid time
through the country and doing a good
business.
Carpenters end jointers are at
work renovating the Episco|ial Church.
At present no service can l>e held there,
but when it is finished it will I* good
as new, and on* of the liendsomest and
most comfortable in town.
FKHSOXAL. —Franklin Tucker, the ef
ficient keeper of the Dungeneas I.igbl
and Fog-whistle, is in town and Mop
ping at the New England.
}y Th« *>choooer A. H- JorJan er
rieed at Poit Mac torn ye 'eVay from
Sao Francisco.
litf" Fridsy was a regular Fourth of
July for the Indians that crowded
our streets. They all apparently had
plenty of money, aad were willing to
spend it for such luxuries as an Indian
needsor is permitted by the laws of the
country to er.j»y
FCRS-WC noticed scv*ral drsv loads
of deer, panther and bear skins in front
of Baxter's place to-day. He is doing
a larjre bu«iness in furs ant! paying full
prices When the fur season is at its
height Mr. Baxter ought to do a still
larger business, and no doubt will.
AKTKP. HIM —Sheriff Wyckoff and his
deputies are exerting themselves for the
arrest of Moss, who shot Peterson.
Four men have already been sent out
after him, and his escape seems im
probable.
NF.ARLY all of our down Sound
steamers were at the wharf last night
l>esides many of those running to up-
Sound ports Th<> wharves were crowd
ed with them.

atter a stay of three weeks at the home
of Drs. Hewes, on Union street. The

in Seattle to get Oysters—at Piper's, of
course.

er and tuner will visit Seattle and other
towns on the Sound again shortly.
