Lawless Depredations in Baker's Bay. ABand of SlaskcdHen Engaged in theWork The citywas thrown into exoite ment yesterday morning on reoeipt of the news that several of the fish traps in Baker's bay .had been visited by a crowd of, masked men last Monday night and destroyed, and that there had been destruction of property to tho extent of S10.000 or $12,000 ' The following was received at this office at two o'cleok: InwAco, May 24, 9 a. m. Our town is endeavoring this morn ing to obtain .some clues to the pet petrators of the dastardly outrages and wanton wasters of Valuable prop erty last night Between ten and eleven o'clock tho occupants of Col bert's scow, Miller, Murray add Russ, were aroused by a i'ody. of. masked desperadoes anu ordered to' dress at once. There was no use to dispute" authority DacKeuby snooting irons, so the three men" dressed as quiokly as possible. The maskers immedi ately set fire to the scow. A large lifting skiff loaded with trap web was also fired. .Buss was hurried away in one of the swarm of fishing boats' that were among the attacking party, taken over to Dan'l. Markham's traps and forced at the point of the pistol to cut that trap away; afterwards he was taken to Graham Bros.' scow, off Sand Island, and left there. Miller was compelled by the same methods, to destroy and mutilate as much as possible Colbert's pile driver; in other words, abuse 'the prop erly of his employer. After that ho was carried to Sand Island and left with Buss. Murray was forced into n small skiff taken a short distance away, the oars taken away, the skiff anchored and left A boat returning from tho Cape with the theater party picked him up. Estimated damage of Colbert's prop erty, $2,000. Tho fleet of boats con tinued on up the river, ontting and destroying web and traps in their way. Several more were destroyed, when a consultation was held. Then it was that Miller was taken to Gra ham's scow. One of Graham's traps was then cut, tho destroyers continu ing on up the river to destroy every thing in the shape of a. fish trap on the liver np to and about Soar borough hill. After that the orders were to separate and disappear in the darkness. In the town here the blaz ing scow attracted the attention of some one, who aroused the town by ringing the school bell, etc. Citizens rushed out armed but it was too late; the ruin was accomplished and the miscreants had sailed away. Buss was told thero were 200 boats in this work. Great anxiety was felt for the fate of Miller and Buss who did not show up until about G a. h., when Geo. Graham brought them over from the island. A prominent trap man says: "Where the work was doners about 24 miles from Ilwaco. Westood oh the long whrfnnd saw' tfie blaze, but could do nothing. We think we have a clue to the perpetrators. As they wero going away, disappearing in the darkness after finishing their work, one man, the leader, was heard by those near him to say: 'This is only the beginning of the end.' I am certain that everything was done by set purpose, and that the whole pro gramme was arranged and how it was to be carried out When they were cutting and burning, the leader would say, 'No. One, go here,' and, 'No. Two, you do this, showing that it was all fixed beforehand just what e"aoh one should do. Preparations will be made, however, and if they come again, as we expect they will, there will be trouble, as wo intend to de fend our property.'' The dispatch received from Ilwaco was read to him and he said "That is about it The whole thing was done so secretly and quietly that we didu't know anything of tho" intended attack." It is thought that there will be further effort made by the same par ties to destroy more of the many fish traps in that vicinity, and if there is there will undoubtedly be crave trouble. Several interested went over I from Astoria yesterday afternoon, and J further news is awaited with interests Baird's Mammoth Jlinstrels. GOLD AND s :wK !

The Nashville Times says : Baird's Mammoth Minstrels scored a fine success at the Giand Opera house last night, opening to an audience that filled the building from pit to gallery, there being only a few empty seats in dress cirole, due doubtless tb the vory inclement evening. It ia"the flrBt time in many days that the walls of this popular and historic temple have resounded to the sweet refrains and beautiful melodies of minstrelsy, and it seemed "ike a return of the haloyon days of yore. There were many ladies present and all heartily enjoyed an entertainment pure and pleasing in the highest degree, for tnere were no low jokes or aoting, or stale gags and very few "chestnuts." or waits between aots, for the cur tain did not fall until the. end of the afterpiece, thus affording three solid hours of side-splitting fun and rare enjoyment. The stage was h'and somelyset and the performance very smooth and even. To partioularize the performers and praise all that were good would re quire extended space, for there was scarcely an' act or feature thaiwaB not encored, and a number of times the ''gods" made the walls of "tne building tremble with their enthusi astic bravos. u , Beserved" seats- at the New Yprk Novelty store Thursday morning.
