Newspapers Pt.2

In the article that I read, they talked about a shooting in Seattle. It was between two farmers and Indians over some stolen items. Both Indians where killed and the two farmers fled. A few days later Indians sent runners up and down the Baker River to gather all of the Indians to the grand council. The people were worried about a Indian outbreak, where Indians started to cause trouble around the area and to the people. Another article talked about a fight between to drunken squaws where one ended up dead after the fight. They talked about how both of them where drunk and that they both received their liquor from a man named Cannon. Then they talked about how the town wanted to kick him out, since they had discovered that he had been selling alcohol to Indians for years.

Homework Letter:

So today seems to be a dreary day, since it rained this morning and more is suppose to come. It seems that my cousin O.F. Richardson is suppose to arrive today from Oakland on the Southern Pacific line. I will have to take him with me to see the new lines of Dry and Fancy goods over at the Merchandise store. They just got the new line of Flannels and Waterproofs which he will be happy about. They found a dead body in the Virgin Alley between 2nd and 3rd streets. They authorities believe that it was a result of foul play. There was another murder in Tuscan where a man tried to rage a young Mexican girl, but her father showed up and got rid of him. However, he came back and kill the brother, a 30 year old man, and a shot also struck the girl. Unfortunately the man got away.
