On the 7th of last June. says the Seat
tle Times. there were some transactions
st Port Townsend that wrll not soon be
forgotten. On that day a delegation of
the Coast Seamen‘s uuiou at that city
vetted the ship Perkins lyiugin port,
and after a hasty consultation induced a
number of non—union sailors to quit the
ship. It is alleged that the nailors do»
sorted the vessel and upon gointz ashore
the entire delegation indulged in a
i parade about the city. The authorities
i there arrested the following men on the
charge of riot: Ed. Alseu, Harry Simp
son. Wm. Tottermau. Wm. Darrin. John
Dothrln, Frank Kafi', Thomas Stuart
and G. Fingerald. The men were
glven on immediate hearing before Jus
tice J. H. Van Bokellen and were bound
over to the October term of the district
court. The October term has come and
gone without any disposition of the
cue. Indeed there was no term of
court. and the point to be decided in
writ is whether the bindinzet thejustice
will stand for the November term. The
petitioner: are represented by Hon. ‘
Jame: Hamilton Lewis, the attorney for
the Union, while the state’s interest will

A day or two ago we made mention of
the closing of the Hadlock mill to repair
damages sustained by accident. We
have since learned that it was because
of the breaking of one of the saws. and
that there were seyeral burrow escapes.
The sew broke into small frauments
which were hurled in all directions.
One piece cut- the top ofl‘nl' one man's
hat; another grazed the tip of the nose
of another workman. and the carriage
near by was badly splintered and dam
aged.

can buy it st government sale for a little

that he will insist on retaining Beecher
