THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6) 1911. THIEVES MURDER JUSTICE OF PEACE NEAR SOUND CITY . A. A. Galbraith Killed and W. B. Stevens. Badly Wounded, Near Beilingham, Wash.,' in . Act of Arresting Thugs. - (United Preni t4 Wire ) . r BeMngham, Wash., Jan. 6. The sher Iff of Whatcom and Skagit countlee, with their .deputies and a pack of blood hounds and at least 100 volunteers, art searching the foothill country about Acme for the two thugs who yesterday shot and killed Justice ot the Peace A. A." Galbraith and seriously wounded Manager W. B. Stevena of the Key City Lagging company, at Acme. Every wagon road and railroad track by which the men could escape from the territory about Acme Is carefully guarded, and the hounds are tracking down the f ugi ttre through the hills. Their capture seems certain and the belief of the of ficers, is thar it will be accomplished only by bloodshed, as the men re armed and desperate.. , - , Posses Qui Witt yioedaovsaa, Immediately upon receipt of newa yes- ' terday afternoon that Oalbralth had been killed, Sheriff Van Zandt of What com county and a posse of deputies left .the city and arrivad at Acme a few hours later, Sheriff Stevenson of i Skagit county and his deputies, with ' bloodhounds,, drove' from Sedro Woolley, wearing out two relays of horses Id their forced Journey. At daybreak this morning the hounds took the trail at Acme and the man 1 tiunt commenced. Judge Galbraith and Manager Stev ens were shot aa they attempted to M ; rest two men who bad stolen a box of shoes from the Saxon store, near Dew ing. Stevens discovered the theft, and followed the men to Acme.' There he Informed Judge Galbraith of what had happened and called on him to arrest the men, loots Answer 0U to Surrender. Judge Galbraith and. Stevens met the . thieves In front of the store owned by Frank, Zobrist and ordered them to sur render, Instead, both opened fire. A bullet struck Galbraith near the heart and he fell, mortally wounded. Stev ens fell beside him, badly wounded in the abdomen. The murderer and his companion then ran off into the brush. - Attracted by the shooting, a number of cltlsens ran 'to where Galbraith and 8tevens lay. Galbraith was carried In to a nearby house and everything was done to staunch the flow of blood and bring him back to consciousness. All efforts were unavailing,' however, and he died 45 minutes after the shooting. Wild excitement prevailed when It was learned that Galbraith and Stev- , ens had been shot. Angry citizens flocked to the scene and threatened vengeance upon the perpetrators.." A telephone message Waji dispatched to Sheriff-Van Zandt, "Wflfj; with Deputy Sheriff Crulkahank and Wallace Cole man and all available men, hurried to ttat seen. ' f Ken's Old Shoes Good Clues. The robbery that the thugs commit. ted before the shooting is aiding the officers greatly. The men stole a case ef shoes from a store near Acme. They 'were followed to the latter town by BUvens, who called on Galbralrn to ar rest them. After Ihe thieves bad fired and brought down Oalbralth and Stt yens, they dropped everything and ran, and among the article abandoned wore found their old shoes, which they had "changed for new ones before reaching Acme. These east off boots gave the tiounda an rx-ellewt scout. The dotfg," ' vtlth a posse of 10, started across the Mils toward Park. It is believed the fugitives will try to reach Beilingham. t At Park, at Wickersham and at Item ing, guards are posted. A report from Wickersham says one of the thugs is wounded and Is traveling slowly. , ; Galbralth's body has been brought to this city. Description of Murderers.

Owing to the storms of snow and frequent heavy fogs along the southeastern Alaska coast, that region is one of the most treacherous for mariners to be found anywhere. This condition la accentuat d, ay J. H, Young, president of the Alaska Steamship company, by the lack of lighthouses and fog signal stations along this coast. Mr. Young was In .Washington for the purpose of urging upon congress the need of providing more lighthouses. . - "During the past two years," said Mr. Young, ''our company lost five Ships on this coast, with a large amount f .freight; but fortunately very few "human lives. 1 Other companies lost ships also, and a niynber of vessels went ashore which were not a total loss, but which Were sold and salvaged.
