chance for somebody.

been the most tedious at this term of
court. 1t occupied nearly all tho time
OF yesterday and today.
United States Marshal Hamilton has
written Walla Walla friends, that for
fine location and beautiful scenery Port

the Sound.
Rev. c. c. Otis, of Seattle, is in the
city, the guest of AIr. Henry Bash. He
leaves tomorrow for Victoria, weere he
goes in the interests of the Congrega-
tional Church OF this part of the couu-
try.
The NJ. e. parsonage has been pa
pered and freshened internally, and an
effort viii probably be made to have it

turn out at Starrett's Rink tomorrow
evening to be initiated into the mysteries

The Idaho opium case was set for trial
yesterday, but the prosecution was not
ready to proceed, owing to the fact that
Beecher, Gardner and Winterode were
all away. Capt. Carroll was ready for
trial, with several witnesses, and it was
stated by his counsel that the expense
for defendants footed up to about S45 per
day. a heated argument took place last
evening over motion and affidavits by
prosecution for continuance of the case.
q. s. Attorney w. H. White and his
assistant, G. H. Hanford, represented
the government, and Hon. Jas. Nc
Naught and U. NJ. Raisin appeared for
the defense. Judge Greene finally laid
the case over indefinitely, and it is
expected by defendants to be able to
secure trial at Seattle on Monday next
1t is reported that Collector Beecher will
be home in two or three days. Whether
this be true or not, certain it is that
Capt. Carroll ought not to be kept under
heavy expense for long time waiting
for the hearing. Government officers
seized the steamer and had the trial set,
and they should have been ready.
