A tRIGlITFUL hUNAWAf.-On Sunuay
the 18th inst. serious runaway accident
occurred at Ellensburgh which nearly
proved fatal to three lives. Miss Viva
Wiswell had been visiting friends at FL
lensburgh for several weeks past and had
made all preparations to return home on
that day. Mitchell Gillian, accompanied
by Miss Prowell, sister Of @. S. Prowell,
had taken Miss Wiswell in q carriage to
the depot and was about to assist her to
asight on the platform when an engine
"blew off" steam. The horses became
frightened, wheeled suddenly around,
and dashed madly up the street. Mr..
Gillian held on to the reins as long as
possible and was dragged over the road
for some distance but finally the lines
were wrenched from his hands and the
team then few on unimpeded. Miss
Prowell was thrown out, early in the run
away, and her head struck against tele-
graph pole with great force. She was
picked up in an insensible condition and
continued in that state all day and the
following night, during which time her
life was despaired Of, but good medical ser
vices and careful nursing have placed her
in q fair way to speedy recovery. Miss
Wiswell found no means Of escape from
the carriage. At Shoudy's corner she to
was thrown out, but made fortunate land
ing and received no injuries more serious
than q bruise or two, and q severe shock
to her nervous system, which have kept
her confined to her bed during the past
week. Mr.. Gilliam's injuries are slight.
RAPID INCREASE IN VALUAroNs.-Fiv
years ago the HOlton track, which was
bought last week by the Ontario Land
Co., for tSS, $50, was scld for the mere
pittance Of go. Is there any country in
the world where property valuations have
advanced more rapidly than in Yakima
and yet the prices are still much too low
and are bound to continue on the upward
move. The representatives Of the Onta-
rio Land Co., which is q very wealthy
corporation, have Travelled all over the
country and have large holdings in sew
eTal Of the progressive southern cities, in
Duluth, Spokane Falls and Tacoma, and
in every instance have their judgment
proven good and their investments profit
able. The company propose holding q
portion Of the Holton tract for capital
grounds and to plat and improve the bal
ance. A street railway is one Of the i'm
provements in view.
