CAPTAIN ISAIAH JOXSB OKAO. A Brlf Oatiiae of His Life and OSlola -.■■'■.■,:,■•• ■ .'■' Career* ■:'.--: -'/'r:-: ■/:/■:■ Last Tuesday Sheriff Jones received a letter from the superintendent of tti< Western Washington hospital at Stella ooom informing ■ him of the death oi his father, Captain Isaiah Jones, who was taken there for treatment about five years ago, from Shaw island. The death of Captain Jones takes from us a unique and somewhat re markable character. Springing from old Virginia stock, he was born in the state of Ohio in 1829, where he grew to manhood, was married and had two children. About the breaking out of the war, his wife died and he enlisted in an Ohio regiment of volunteers and at once went to the front. During the Beige of Vlcksburg he was stricken with the camp disease so J prevailent among the soldiers of that section, and by the order of General ■' Grant, whose notice le had already attracted by his gal antry, he was 7 discharged and sent lome, as it was supposed, to die; but sustained by a constitution as strong and unyielding as was his own per sonal character, he so far recovered as to be able to re-enlist. This time in a Missouri regiment gotten up in Cald well county, Missouri, where his pa rents had located during his absence. When the companies were organised he was elected captain of Co. "B," I think, which company he commanded till the close of the war, taking an ac tive part in the gurrilla warfare that was so sanguinary in the southern and southwestern part of that state, as well as several general engagements. The notorious James and Younger boys, Bill Anderson and Quantrell were 1 the famous leaders of the bands of bush- > whackers that roamed over the coun try leaving a trail of blood from the forks of the Grand river on the north to Arkansas on the south and west into Kansas, celebrating their hist raids into the latter state by the burning of Law rence and murdering a large number of its citizens. It was with the prisoners here taken that report said immediate ly afterwards that Cole Younger tested the power of the Springfield rifle by standing a number of men up in a row and seeing how many he could shoot through, killing eight. This gurrilla warfare was carried on by small bodies of men on both sides, and like the enemy, the federal troops were forced troops were forced to do much of their marching in the night, lying concealed during the daytime. In this, Captain Jones was in his \ element; as fearless and brave as any of the leaders of the marauding | bands he ! was at home around the campfire and shrank from no hardships or danger. Cole Younger and his band soon tired of facing such a foe and moved south into Arkansas,•: while Bill Anderson was killed and his command annihilated. In recog nition of his services the governor of Missouri commissioned Captain . Jones as lieutenant colonel. Disease, however, had fastened upon him and when the war closed he locatrd on a farm, broken in health. The Tames and Young ess, as soon as peace came, turned their atten tion to bank robbing. - This was done in broad daylight by shooting down all who opposed them. One of the banks in Richmond, Ray county, which joined Caldwell on the south, was thus robbed and several of the citisens, in cluding the deputy sheriff, being killed. Tha bank in Galliton, in the county joining Cald well on the north, was robbed, or attempted to be robbed in the same manner, the president and cashier being shot down in cold blood and a retreat effected before the citisens could rally. This was: in 1867. A reign of terror existed, every country town was in a fever ef excitement and fear and men who sought the office of Sheriff, especially in Caldweu county/joining the home of the James boys, were not so plenti ful as they are today. 1 Of course, Captain Jones was the man for the place. He was nominated and elected and peace and order was enjoyed during his official career. Shortly after his election the grand jury found an indictment against a desperate character, and a warrant for his arrest was gives the new sheriff. The man was known to be always armed to the teeth and the Captain's friends advised him to take a posse; but ignoring assistance and wholly un armed, he hunted up his man, walked directly to him and laying his band on him told him bis errand and arrested him without the least diffi culty. So much for his nerve. Although an uneducated man, he was one of the best political speakers in northern Missouri and often met in public discussion with the leading politicians in the state. As a farmer he had considerable money. Strictly honest him self, lie believed others te be so, sometimes to his detriment. ..; v. *♦ • His second wife was Miss Etta Stevens, by whom he raised quite a family, all of whom are residents of the Sound; Newton, our present sheriff, Grant and Earnest living in San Tuan county; the widow, two youngest children and one married daughter, Mrs. Carl Stewart, resid ing in Whatcem county.

A recent number of the North China Herald contained an account of the' administration of justice by a Chinese j magistrate which reminds ; one of Solo- j mon. Two brothers, well advanced in j age, quarreld over a piece of land which they had jointly inherited from their father, and ' went ito law. The ■ native j magistrate heard > the : testimony on; both sides and determined \ that both were wrong and both right, according to the different points of view. There fore, instead of rendering a judgment in favor of either, he ordered that both be locked up in a cangue with their heads fastened face to face and kept there until they settled their quarrel. The canirue is a sort of cage in which prisoners are placed | with their necks looked into a hole in a board. It . re sembles 'i somewhat - the ' stocks i which were used for the punishment of male factors in olden time. When the broth ers • were | placed S in the canirue I they were both very stubborn and indignant, but toward the end |of the second day they began to weaken, and on the third day reached a satisfactory settlement and were released.—Chicago Record. - Besmtr I* Slsoi Dee*. ; Clean blood mean* a clean akin.

Frank Wilkinson, of Skagit county, who wanted to be a member of the last legislature badly enough to ran as a Populist, bat who lacked some 400 votes^of returning this winter because of still professing faith in Populism, was recently interviewed by a P.-I. re porter at Seattle, and among othei things said: "If the Republican ' party in the ap proaching session of the legislature suc ceeds in passing some conservative and greatly needed* railroad legislation, 11 will 5 control r the government iof thia state for the next ton years.

Little Asks the Co-operation of All Interested In Sal mon Propagation. ";•: r; Mr. A. C. Little, state fish commis sioner, is desirous of having as many people as possible who are engaged in the fish industry, or are interested in same, to visit at least one of the state hatcheries and there, by personal ob servation, see and understand the prac tical workings of the artificial propaga tion system. He would much prefer to have parties from this vicinity visit Baker lake hatchery if possible, but as it is something of an effort to get to this point, he presumes that other localities would be preferred and would advise visiting the Kalama hatchery. They have at the: Kalama hatchery at this time over six million young salmon in the finest condition and believe that there is not in the United States a hatchery doing a more successfuf work than this one. The efficient superin tendent will be very happy to explain every detail of the work that is there being carried out. If a number of the citizens and others interested in the fish industry could find time to visit this hatchery I am sure it would be productive of considerable good in the way of getting efficient legislation next winter for one, if not the greatest and most important industries of the coast.
