Made Hound Trip.
James KIsli, of tin* firm of Janies
Fisli «& Co., returned to Valdez on
tlie Excelsior after an extended ills
si nce, during which ihe mail route
from Valdez to Eagle was traversed
and several improvements at the
ditkrciit relay and trading stations
commenced.
It is intended to raise all the hay
and grain needed for the mail
route stock and with this end in
view.'rac's of almut ten acres each
at Tcikhell, Copper Ccn.er, Chistu
china, Mcntasta and Tumtna wen
staked out and the work of clear
i u for the plow has now been
nearly completed.
Mr. Fish went out to the Sta'cs
from Eagle, via the Yukon river to
Skagway and thence to Seattle and
San Francisco.
He says that it is a foregone con
clusion that thtre will he a rush to
Valdez in the spring. Everywhere
the kct-tnsl interest is taken in any
news pertaining to the town.
There .s considerable talk almut a
fleet o‘‘ steamers to ply direct be
tween Scalile and Valdez, and
amongst the vessels mentioned as
likely to lie opera'cd, are tin* Roa
noke, which it* a sister ship to the
Oregon, the Valencia, Nome City,
ami John S. Kimball.
Electric Eight Plant.
The Electric Eight and Tele

necessary for lighting the town.
The plant will lie on the
Santa Ana anil everything will lie
pushed to completion as ipiickly us
possible, so there is a jsissiliUity of
having our town lighted hy elec
tricity by Christmas.
It would lie well for the people
to place their orders for lights with
Mr. Quinn just as soon as possible,
so the wires can lie stretched and
that part of the work finished be
fore the machinery arrives. i

SIXTEEN YEARS AFTER HE

| MpcHnl <orrr* politic tire In the I'RonrKrTOR.
Kodiak, Nov. H—While scurch
i mg for stray rattle on Madnashka
• liill liat’k of Kodiak, J. Demidoff
| and Morris Sargent accidently
stnml>lcd upon the Ismcs of a
j skeleton lying under a tree. By
j the side of the skeleton lay a
double barrel shotgun with rust
: eaten barrels and rotten stock,
j The open breech of the gun showed
j an exploded shell in the right hand
; barrel. Other shells were found
near by. which had been loaded
| with buckshot, oakum having been
j used for wadding. A pair of hoots,
|a hat and hits of clothing were
lomid with the skeleton. Most of
the lames were covered with moss
and wi re in a bail state of dccom
isisition. Everything ls>re evi
dence of long exposure.
This morning 17. S. Customs
Officer, F. K. Sargent, Adam Bloch
ami others journtytd to the spot,
and after examining the skeleton,
gun and sheds, were firmly con
vinced thul the unfortunate, who
hud {Krished on Madnashka hill
was Peter Anderson, the murderer
of B. li. McIntyre. Mr. McIntyre
was murdered Id years ago in the
A. C. Co’s house at Kodiak. The
details of that tragedy are as fol.
lows:
On the evening of Nov. 1, 188t>
aliout 6.1a o’clock, while Mr. Meln
t\ re ami others were seated at sup
per in the A. t . Co’s house at Ko
diak, son.one tired a charge of
buckshot through the window at
Mr. McIntyre’s buck, killing him
instantly, and seriously injuring
Mr. 11. Vt'oehe, who was seated di- j
rectly oppo-ile McIntyre at the
tooi oi the .able. During the con
tusion which followed the murderer
escaped.
Mr. McIntyre was intending to
sail the next day on the schooner
Kodiak for Han Francisco. The
schooner, however, did not sail
uinil Nov. 4th. In the mean
time a diligent search was keipt up
fora certain individual, who was
commonly known as I'eter Amlcr
se>n, who was found to Ik‘ missing
shortly after the murder. Rc
w.trds were offeree! and arrneel par
t es scoured the woods, but to no
avail. The missing man coulel not
be found.
A year In-fore this he hud ar
rived at Kodiak alone on the sloop
Peter Anderson. He hud twice
!>ccn ou.tilled by the A. C. Co. to
engage in sea otter hunting, but
being unsuccessful, Mr. McIntyre
did not see til to eipbp him a third
time. Offers to buy the stoop were
r- jected. likewise offers of employ
ment.
A year aftei the murder it was
learned that al>out two years pre
vious to the murder, Peter Ander
son, a Russian Cossack, from ltos
loff on the Don, left Puget Sound,
where he was well known, in com
pany with another Russian. They
both arrived at Sitka, and after
having spent some time there in
preparing dogfish oil, started
tor this place. Only one man
man arrived at Kodiak on the
sloop Peter Anderson. This mini
was heavily built, bearded, and
spoke broken English. His dc
* script ion did not correspond to
limt of the I’eter Andcrnon known
on the Srouiul.
The morning after the terrible
tragedy of Nov. 1, lsttti, three
nhelln were )>icked »|> near the
window through whieh the charge
wan tired whieh killed Mr. McIn
tyre. For yearn tliene tdiclln have
laid in the Com|>anvN vault at
Kodiak. An examination of tliene
shells and those found near the
skeleton on Madnashka hill shows
that they are identical in make
and loading, hoth Wing loaded
with buckshot and oakum wadding.
The Kodiak people have always
believed that some day Peter An
derson’s Istnes would W found.
It could never W ascertained that
he had escaped from too island in
a Wat or hidurka.
A few days after the tragedy
there was tjuite a fall of snow, and
all search for his tracks was fruit
less.
Strange it is that in all these
years neither Wrry pickers nor
hunters had found the lames of
this man who perished almost
within sight of the scene of his ter
rible deed. In a well chosen spot,
where he could watch those who
might he hunting for him and not
la- seen by them, Peter Anderson,
twice a murderer, crazed hv his
terrible deed, either took his own
life, or having fallen asleep in u
state of exhaustion and hunger,
suecmnlied to the cold. The open
gun breech would indicate the tat
ter.
Mr Melntire was a native of
Randolph, Vt. IIis widow is still
living.
