Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1889-03-16

proposed tax levy for new courthouse
and Jail are being circulated throughout
the county, and are receiving signatures
by the hundreds from our taxpayers.
The sentiment seems to be greatly "for-
ninst" the levy at this time, fact the
Commissioners viii do well to note
carefully.
Capt. Phillips and the HERALD are
now arranging to erect jointly brick
block of two stories on Main-st., nearly
opposite the photograph gallery, where
the HERALD will have fine, roomy Of
fee on the corner ground floor and
Messrs. Phillips & Higgins furniture
warehouse in the western half.
A sidewalk from Grand-st. to the
school building is imperatively demand
ed by the young folks who now have to
climb the grade through the mud, and
the HERALD heartily seconds the call. 1t
is likely the Trustees viii be duly petit
toned at their next meeting, and that
the walk will be ordered built at once.
We viii sell watches and jewelry at
10 per cent below cost for the next 30
days. FAR1ss Bros. 16tf
On Saturday night, March 2, Jake
Hill and William Gill, who were held for
horse stealing, made their escape from
the county jail. By means of small
augur they cut through the plank floor.
AS they were heavily shackled, it is
thought they must have received assist
ance after leaving the Jail. They have
not yet been re-captured.
Hunt & Buckley are citizens of the
right stamp. They have donated lum-
Der from their yards for town improve
ment purposes several times at exact
cost, which is an item OF considerable
saving to our taxpayers. Now that a
movement is on foot to bnild sidewalk
up to the school-house, these gentlemen
again come forward with an offer to
furnish the requisite material at the
same rate. Good boys!
NJ. G. True has for sale two span of
good horses, suitable to work or to
drive; also, buggy harness and two
buggies. 17w4
Said the Palouse City Boomerang,
last week: 1--WE had thought that in
case Washington was admitted without
the panhandle of idaho it would settle
the annexation question, until we re-
ceived letter from Judge Buck stating
that Senators Dolph, Edmunds and 9th
ers were of the opinion that annexation
should be made separate issue after
Washington became state. Judge B.
writes that he is laying the foundation
for such scheme"
Another new business firm has hung
its banner upon the walls of Pullman
this week. We refer to Messrs. Haas &
Peirce, of the "Boston store" Spokane
Falls, who will at once open branch
in tho Prentice building, opposite the
bank. They intend to keep very
large and choice stock of clothing, dry
goods, boots, shoes, hats, caps, furnish
ing goods, etc. AS to prices and details,
you are referred to their big announc-
ment in this issue of the HERALD. The
Pullman store will be personally con-
Quoted by Mr.. Peirce, who seems to be a
most agreeable gentleman and business
man.
A few stubble plows of the Reed &
Prentis stock will be sold cheap fol
cash at J. M. Prices agricultural hall
Pullman. 20w2
The view of Pullman from the cor
ner of the hill just where the o. r. & N
road curves around from the water tank
is the best that can be obtained Except
from the hill-tops) if you desire to
realize at a glance the exact number OF
new buildings lately erected and in
course of erection throughout the main
portion of town. OF course a hilltop
view is better for newcomer, as he is
then able to take in the many new
residences that have been, and are now
being, put up in the several additions on
the north, east and southeast. He will
have to admit that Pullman is " growing
like a weed"
Last Tuesday afternoon the little
son of one of our well-known citizens,
while playing with his sister, a bright,
sweet child of six summers, got hold OF
his fathers shotgun, which had been
very carelessly left standing in corner
of the kitchen, and pointing 1t at the
little girl exclaimed, jokingly, "Look
out, sis, I'm going to shoot you'll" and
pulled the trigger. Imagine if you can
the feelings of that wretohed boy when
he found that he had-hed; that the
gun wasn't loaded, and that his innocent
little sister had suddenly knocked the
skin from his nose with stick of wood.
But it might have been worse, perchance.
