The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1893-09-28

brought with him section OF the bones
OF a mastadon. The relic was found
Twenty feet under the surface
while men on the place were digging a
we'll. No matter to what part Of the an-
imal's anato ny the bone belonged, il is
an immense specimen and il is well pres
erved. Mr.. Leach also brought with
him samples OF corn produced on his
place in that fruitful valley. The ears
are mammoth specimens, the largest
we've seen since we used TO raise IL where
1t grows to perfection in central Illinois.
Mr.. Leach assures us that the yield per
acre is anormous-greater perhaps than
that Of any other section on the coast.
The frosts in the Rstilesnake valley
are month later than here. Vegetables
and fruits mature there without the dam
ger OF an early frost, and our informant
believes that that portion of eastern
Washington is destined to acquire fame
as a fruit and corn region. 1t is distant
about forty miles from this city, and,
while Prosser Is only twenty miles away,
the residents of that valley make this
their trading point by reason Of its ac-
feasibility by good roads.
G. =. Winter, of Sacramento, came
over from Tacoma on Monday with his
brother, VIM. A. Winter, who lives on
the Sound. They put in the greater part
OF the day looking about the valley aud
visiting former acquaintance or two who
live here. The gentleman from Sacra-
mento was at one time member of the
California legislature, a questionable
honor, he says, upon which he sometimes
reflects with regret. At present, however,
he Is farmer, owning a fine fruit farm
and "a broad meadow of many acres"
He likes Yakima valley, he observed
while here, better than any section of the
northwest he has visited and will prob
ably leave funds with his brother for in 1.
vestment here this fall. VIM. A. Winter
already possesses q considerable interest
10 Yakima realty, in connection with a
Sound company operating in Eastern
Washington. He knows the value of our
soil and climatic advantages and the ease
with which both may be utilized by the
tiller Of the soil. He expects TO make
this section his home in the near future.
In the superior court at Tacoma on
Saturday last, Samuel B. Dusinberre, ex-
cashier OF the Bank of Puyallup, was
sentenced to three years in the Walla
Walla penitentiary. Several days ago he
plead guilty on one charge OF grand lar
ceny. There were numerous other
charges, but they will not now be pros
ecuted. The prisoner made a strong plea
for a light sentence, acknowledging his
guilt and asking the mercy OF the court
The sentence is regarded as light, as the
total amount OF his populations, which
extended over several years, was about
$4,000. Dusinberre came west from
Rochester, N. Y, about four years ago.
Died-At Cowychee, Septemember u,
1893, Everett A., beloved son OF George
c. and Arrilla Thomas, aged one year,
four months and thirteen days. The
little one died from injuries received
| about four weeks ago, when, being un-
observed, he walked into a smould ering
fire in the back yard. He was severely
burned. Shortly after being burned his
throat became very sore and the two ills
were more than the little babe could
survive. He passed away without
struggle on the eve of last Thursday.

George Wilson, of Wide Hollow, sus-
tanned severe loss on Tuesday morning
by the burning of his hop house and all
of his crop save a few boxes not yet de-
| liyered at the kiln. The entire outfit was
new. The hops were insured for $1,000 in
the German-American, represented in
this city by j. Ii. Greer. Wilson had
just built a fire in the kiln, betw cen and
o'clock, when he was called away 10
assist man in another part of the yard
On his return few minutes later the
entire kiln was afame. His loss is prob.
ably 5000, one-third covered by insur-
ance.
A receiver has been appointed to take
charge OF the affairs OF the Washington
Farmers Insurance company. Ex-Aud-
itor NJ. ID. Smith was named as receiver.
This company, which has been in travail
for long time, is well known among the
farmers whose patronage was specially
solicited. Its management has been the
nucleus around which several sensations
have already gathered and the likelihood
is that trouble will occur over revelations
which the receiver will probably be COM
PEELED to make.
The escapade OF Budd Taggart and
Edna F. Andrews, recently bulletined
from Spangle as henious and diabolical
crime on Budd's part, lost much of its
horror when the Gaze came to trial at
Spokane Thursday. 1t appears that
Taggart was drunk and the young woman
engaged the room at the hotel and put
the illeged pirate of her virtue to bed.
He remembered waking up the next
morning with his clothes all on. The
jury, after five minutes delberstion,
acquitted him.
