The state central committee of II. BIS.
held meeting this afternoon, lasting
from one to five o'clock. The secretary
declined to give any information con-
cerning the proceedings, but from other
sources its ascertained that the object of

of old Kitsap, the celebrated Yakima
chief, who was the prime cause of the
