A Story of Disaster at a Hudson Bay Company Post. Nearly All the Survivors Are Helpless Widows and Orphans of the Tribe. Sy the Associated Press. Quebec, May 11. Official reports from the vicinity of Fort Chimo, the Hudson Bay company's trading post on Ungava Bay, show that two-thirds of the entire tribe of Montagnais Indians, trading at the post, have perished of starvation, in one season, over 160 in number.

As usual among the Indians, the men die first so that a number of unfortunate women and orphans were left helpless. The few white people of Fort Chimo and the officers and crew of the Hudson Bay company's steamer, Eric, wintering there, took up a collection to clothe the survivors who were as destitute of clothes as they were of food. The Canadian government has now taken action which it is thought, will prevent another such catastrophe by placing a sum of mosey at the disposal of the Hudson Bay company for the relief of the Indians and Esquimaux in the event of another such a winter. The cause of destitution this winter waB the scarcity of reindeer and other game. Coin and Bullion.

OLD AND NEW. A Transfer of Municipal Authority. New City Administration in Power. Half the Appointive Offices Are Disposed of. Judge Evans Elected city Attorney Organization to Be Completed Tomorrow Night.

The transfer of the city government was accomplished yesterday without fuss or ostentation. It was like the re moval of certain parts of machinery and the insertion in their places of new ones. But the simile begins and ends with the removal, for when parts of machinery are removed, they are worn or worthless. The gentlemen who gave place to their successors are neither. The old council sat for the last time at 2 o'clock.

The record of the previous meeting was read, claims arising from election expenses were audited and allowed, as were also the bills of salaried officers covering the time since the first of the month. A short recess was taken to allow the recjrder to write no the brief minutes; af terwhich the oath of office was administered by him to the officers-elect. Mayor Monihon delivered a short address in which he thanked the members of the council, Recorder Schwartz, the chairman of the various committees. Health Officer Tuttle and other officials for an earnest co-operation in the successful work of the past year. The council then adjourned sine die.

Mayor Rosson took the seat just vacated by ex-Mayor Monihon, and MeEsrs. Dennis and Phillips occupied the chairs from wbicX their respective predecessors, Messrs. -Goldberg and Lacy had just risen. Recorder Schwartz arose, removed his hat and coat from the hook upon which he had methodically hung them for six summers or since the hook had' been fastened on the wall and T. A.

Jobs became a recorder in fact. The new administration was now ready to begin work at 3 o'clock. The council chamber was filled by a curious and anxious crowd. There were those who are present at every thing new and there were those awaiting the pleasure of the council in the distribution of offices more or less honorary or corpulent, for in these degenerate times a municipal office whose emoluments go beyond $600 is vulgarly said to be fat and desirable. Upon calling the council to order, Mayor Rosson announced standing committees as follows Finance LewiB, Moss, Phillips.

Streets and Alleys Dennis, Moss, Phillips. City hall and engine house Phiilipf Dennis, Lewis. Ordinance Mose, Dennis, Phillips. The bond of Marshal Clark was pre sented, whereupon Mr. Lewis called the attention of the council to the expiration of the term of the city attorney whose duty it was to pass upon the validity of official bonds acd he therefore moved that the appointment of a city attorney be taken up first.

The motion having been agreed npon and nominations being in order, Mr. Lewis moved the appointment of Pierce Ev ans. Mr. Phillips nominated H. C.

Magne. A ballot reiulted, for Evana Dennis, Moss, Lewis 3. For Magne Phillips. The mayor did not vote. Mr.

Mr. Phillips placed the late incumbent. Jos. Dobson, in nomina tion. Wolfley received three votes and Dobson one.

Harrv Parker. The old pay roll was offered by Mr Lewis for revision er lor such action or non -action as the council might choose to take. The matter was discussed briefly but nothing was done, though it became evident that the council ie not disposed to be niggardly. For instance Mr. Phillips suggested that i he pay of the health officer, $35 a month, was inadequate.

This view was Bhare4 by Mr. Moss. The mayor said he would not favor the reduction of any of the salaries but he desired before adoptine a payroll, to make a study of the old one. It was said that a salary might be raised during the term of an incumbent but could not be lowered. This cut no figure since there would not likely be a disposition to make a cut in any of the salaries.

said the mayor, "I believe a salary of an officer may be either lowered or raised during his term. The late letris-lature did it and even legislated a man out of office." The payroll went over and after a conference on other matters the council adjourned until tomorrow night. BROTHER KILLS ANOTHER. He Shoots Four Times With Fatal Results. The Dead Man a Record of Two Killings and Wanted to Add His Brother to the List.

From the Tucson Stfcr. Thursday evening a colored courtesan by the name of Hattie Eaeley, who lives in Gay alley, hunted np Lucas Es-trella and desired him to arrest William Raglen, a negro, on a charge of oatterv, masmucn as ne naa broxen a chair over her head. A warrant was obtained, and after Borne search. William was located and He was able to furnish security, however, and was therefore released, to appear yesterday morning for trial. Constable Lstrella was asked whether he had any trouble in taking his man.

Oh, no. JNot this time. He knows me now," he said. "When 1 arrested him the first time, be was fly, but I broke a pistol over his head, and he comes now without trouble." Upon bsing released, however, he went and got a revolver somewhere, and about 1 :30 yesterday morning again went to Gay alley. Hattie Easley, the complaining wit ness, is the mistress of a brother of William Raglen, named John Raglen, and these two, fearing William would be releaeed and want to make trouble, had locked and barred the door of her room.

A few well-directed kicks, how ever, soon broke open the door for the intruder, and he entered the room, breaking out threats against the occu pants. And here there are conflicting tales as to what happened, but it seems that William shot once at his brother and the woman, the bullet grazing the in dex finger of the man's right hand. He sprang from the bed and closed with his brother to get the pistol from him. and not eucceeding in this, attempted to get his own revolver from under the pillow. tie got the revolver, and his brother, William, grasped the muzzle of it, as nearly aa could be learned, and John, knowing that one or the other had to be shot, began shooting, one bullet breaking the middle finger of William's right hand, and other entering the abdomen.

William then ran from the room and went to different saloons where he drank at the bar, notwithstanding the fact that the blood was pouring down over the floor from his wound. He finally was placed in a carries and sent to a physician, who took him to the hospital where his woands were dressed, but as the oper ating room was not in readiness, the dresing of the abdominal wound was postponed. In the mean time, John Raglen, who had done the shooting, hunted up Constable Estrella, told him what he had done, and gave himself up, being placed in the county jail. The officer yesterday showed the reporter the "weapon that waa used, a 32 caliber self- acting Smith Wesson, with four of the hve chambers empty, and encrusted with the blood of the wounded man. Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock the man at the hospital died from the effects of the wound which had pierced the intestines.

Tue body was broagnt to the rooms of the Arizona Undertaking cornpan, and Justice Meyer as coroner empanelled a jury to hold an inquest over the remains. The jury meets at the justice court at cioctt this morning. The funeral will be held at 4:30 this afternoon from the under taking parlors. The maionty of those who Knew Wil liam Raglen, the dead man, say that he merely got what he deserved, as he was a very quarrelsome man, and had been a ereat deal of trouble and ex pense to his brother. He killed two men in Texas, but waa pardoned oat oi the penitentiary of that state.

Since being here he has been a gambler, and about the saloons. It is thought that John, who is now in tail, will be re leased under the theory that he killed his brother in self defense. He feels very badly over the unfortunate affair. The World's Fair Tests showed no baking powder so pure or so great ia leavening power as the Royal. REALMS OF LAW.

The Canal Suit Drags Its Slow Length Along. A Forced Adjournment to District Court. The Trial of Criminal Cases Will Begin Tomorrow. Arraignment of Indicted Prisoners and the Return of a Half Dozen Other Soon after the opening of district court yesterday morning, Master in Chancery Campbell, sitting in the canal case, appeared in court accompanied by the attorneys on both sides asking for the settlement of certain disputes concerning the admissibility of evidence. The asked for instructions having been received, the chancery court returned to its quarters and the hearing was resumed.

The examination of Commissioner Standage was interrupted at the request of President W. J. Murphy of the Improvement company, who had been only temporarily excused by the prose-cation. He asked that his examination might be concluded aa he desired to leave for the east last night. Commissioner Standage was afterward pat on the stand and was followed by Civil Engineer Andrew Barry.

The hearing yesterday was without special interest. Proceedings in district court were characterized by rapidity designed to make up for the time lost in the canal case before it was turned over to a master. Fifteen foreclosure suits were disposed of and judgment entered ia nearly the. same number of minutes. The five prisoners indicted the day before for burglary were arraigned.

John Brice and Daniel Ryan pleaded not guilty. Robert Williams pleaded not guilty to burglary ii the second degree. Benjamin Earle, Thos. McDonald and Henry Johnson under the esme indictment pleaded not guilty as did Earle and McDonald ur.der another indictment. Enrle asked for and was granted separate trial in each case.

Late in the afternoon the. grand jury submitted its secon.l report containing indictments against the following persons: Rafael Gonzales, Carlos Aldai, Jas. Gorman and Henry Russell for deadly assault, and Patricio Morales. Aldai is one of two young men convicted of burglary a year ago and sentenced to Yuma. Undoubted proof that the prisoners were innocent was afterward discovered.

The principal witness against them was cna of the proprietors of the store burglarized and he himself was killed last fall while attempting to burglarize Wilson's second-band store. They were pardoned last winter. The crime for which Morales was indicted was committed near Tempe a week 820. The trial of criminal caees will begin tomorrow morning. FEARFUL OF INHARMONY.
