A IATAL PBAT.
The (Meat and Sitka Indiana of Alaska
Become Involved in a Serious
Quarrel, Which Besults in
a Great Massacre.
A large party of prospectors,
about two weeks ago engaged a
number of Sitka Indians to carry
their baggage from the head of
canoe navigation on the head of
Yukon river to the summit of
Chilcat Pass. The contract was
made and the Indians began their
work. The Chilcat Indians inter
fered here, and claimed the right
to carry all baggage from the head
of navigation to the summit of
Chilcat Pass, a distance of thirty
five miles. These Indians claimed
all the land from this point to the
mountains, and immediately ob
structed the path of the Sitka
Indians. The second chief of the
Chilcats tried to prevent the fur
ther progress of the Sitka tribe,
and began a powerful onslaught
on Sitka George's son. Sitka
George then rushed into the fight
and struck the second chief of the
Chilcats. The latter tribe pro
ceeded to seize Sitka George, and
in the struggle which followed the
chief shot twice, the first shot
missing and the second passing
through the abdomen of the Sitka
Indian (George). Sitka George,
thougli wounded, managed to free
himself from the hold of the Chil
cats. As soon as he was at liberty
lie made a mad attack upon the
second chief. In this fight the
chief was knocked down and
stfupk on the head with a revolver.
Now all was confusion. The fight
began to engage all hands and in
the furious fray the second chief
was stabbed; it is not known by
whom, and some think that a mem
ber of his own tribe did this bloody
work.
Sitka George, who was seriously
wounded, went home, dressed his
wounds and went' up to Haley's
store, at Haines, near which point
the fight took place, and asked the
whites for arms and the protection
of their tribe. This the whites
refused to do, for the reason that
thev were few in number, and if
they took part in this trouble they
might be attacked by the Chilcat
Indians.
The .latter Indians meanwhile
were not idle. The wife of thi
ilpnrl chief stenncd to the front
and demanded vengeance life for
life and by her powerful har
rangues stirred her tribe to greater
deeds of violence. The Clvilcits
marched into Haines, resolved lo
take the life of George. A white
man by the name of Sullivan
stepped out and address them. He
warned them not to hurt George,
and told them that lie was inno
cent of murder, as they claimed,
and that if they attempted any
violence there would be blood
shed The Indians then retired, and
all was quiet. It was, however,
only the calm that precedes the
tempest, tor aunng tne nignt mey
had sent .scouts around the out
skirts of the little village to ascer
tain if the whites were guarding
the warrior whose life they sought.
The whites little suspecting such
maneuvers, paid no more attention
to the Indian George, and during
the night several warriors of the
Chilcats stealthily entered the
wigwam of their victim and he
was stabbed mercilessly in nine
places. They had done their work.
The whites, at the news of this
horrible massacre, feared that they
would meet a like fate and dis
patched Indian messsengers to
Juneau to send government offi
cials and deputies to protect them
and settle the Indian affair.
These messengers were captured
as spies. White messengers were
next dispatched, who managed to
reach Juneau in -safety. The
steamer Dispatch wa1 chartered
and the government officials and
twent-one deputies started for the
scene of action. They had been
traveling bixteen hours on this
steamer when her shaft broke, and
a messenger was sent to Douglas
Island for one of Treadwell's boats
of the mining camp. A boat se
cured, the party reached Haines,
Friday noon, having left Juneau
Thursday night. The ChilcatF,
when they saw the man-of-war
landing, supposed there would be
war and called a council of the
warriors. These suppositions" were
dispelled when they saw the white
man's flag of truce waving over the
village. The officers and Chilcat
Indians then met and proceeded
to settle the trouble. '
One of the officers asked the In
dians who owned this land. They
replied, "We own the land."
"From whom did you purchase this
land?" then asked the official. A
warrior asked, "From whom did
the pale face purchase the land?"
Official "From Russia."
No settlement was reached; the
Chilcat's claim the monopoly of
the transportation of freight, and
charge 15 a hundred, making
about 7.50 a day, and for a num
ber of years they have ruled su
preme, not even allowing the Stick
Indians from tho other side of the
mountains to come down to the
coast, but only to come to certain
places to do their trading. What
will be done to curb this great and
gigantic Indian corporation is not
known, but if it continues longer
trouble is anticipated.
F. BIGudkee, a prospector from
Alaska, who just arrived from Se
attle this morning on the schooner
Leo. says: "These Chilcat In
dians, like a great many other cor
porations and monopolies, make a
dreadful abuse of their power and
have become the tenor of Alaska.
For a while they would carry
freight o er this route, and when
about half way the would throw
clown tho packages and refuse to
go further. They do not now get
their money until they present a
card with the list and account for
ever- article."
Another piospector says: "A
circumstance that caused this fight
to be more dreadful was that the
Indians found before the had
gone fir that thcic ueresomo bot
tles of fire water in the goods,
which they did not Iicsit.ite to
seize and a great jubilee followed.
Something will have to be done to
give a white man more freedom
and protection in Alaska. 'It is
very often the case that a w hite
man is not allowed to eirry his
own baggage over the route to the
various mining camps, and should
he undertake to do so he is liable
to be molested by these infernal
red skins." Pres.

Mason And Dixon's Line.
"Mason and Dixon's line"
what was it? So few who use it as
a political phrase know. It was
the line between Maryland, Dela
ware, Virginia and Pennsylvania,
surveyed by Mason and Dixon
and marked by five stone monu
ments. One of these stones is
.standing in good condition; one is
lost entirely; one is broken on; the
fourth has been displaced within a
year by miners, and the fifth,
which bore the arms of Pennsyl
vania on one side alid those of
Lord Baltimore on the other, is
almost chipped away by relic
hunters. These five stones, were
on the Maryland part of the line.
This Hue was surveyed in 17C7,
ard the engineers were much an
noved bv the Indians.
