BY LA11GK CITY SIGHTS
Seattle May 11.—Gene Blaine, a
Thlinget Indian 35 years old, whose
home is in Yakutut, Alaska, and who
is on his way to serve five years at
the United States penitentiary for!
assault to kill, arrived in Seattle, the '
first large city he had ever visited j
! in his life, last night.
Blaine was in custody of United
| States Deputy Marshal H. K. Martin, I
land was overcome with fright and I
wonder as lie was whisked into an j
automonile Irom the dock to the city ;
| jail, by the sights. In passing the L.
IO. Sniitli building Blaine gave one
glance up toward the lofty pinnacle
and then dropped into the bottom of
i the car, quaking with fear. Carriages,
! without horses or dogs, traveling up
j hill: glittering eating houses, street
jrars, yelling newsboys and the gen
eral clamor on all sides held the In
jdian speechless until his arrival at
: the jail.
"Take me to McNeil, quick,” was
;the translation of the only thing lie
could utter after the formality of
'booking him at the jail had been fin-j
1 ished.
