louSG MAN WrH A NEDAL---A dap
per young chap was arrested during the
week by Officer Lille on the charge Of
having stolen blankets which he had
been Offering for sale, but upon careful
inquiry be was released, the officers hav.
Ing sufficient proof that he had simply
purchased the bedclothing from the man
who had stolen them. On his person,
however, while Marshal Liggett was
searching him, was found a fine gold
medal given to the champion Walter OF
Spokane. This precious souvenir. which
was easily worth s35, was pinned to the
inside Of his vest. On its face were hand
somely engraved the words: Champion
Walter OF Spokane, Ollie Lard, July 16,
| 1898 The elegant trophy was made in
Boston by J. ii. Harriott. This medal
was lost by its owner in Spokane park
some time ago and the gentleman who was
with he young lady when she lost il inn
mediately published an offer Of s. for its
recovery. The young raan arrested here
had found 1t just before his departure
from Spokane and had made no effort to
discover Its owner, assuming, probably,
that Uncle Harris would quickly loan
him few cases on IL in the event os hard
times. TIE medal was retained in the
possession Of the marshal for delivery to
the owner whe she shall have been 10.
Gated. 1t is believed that she is at
Sprngue.
Many OF those who came over from the
Sound to pi X hops are here as much to
see the country and determine whether or
not they can effect permanent transfts
OF interests from the other side Of the
range to this, as for the money there is in
few weeks OF work Very few OF them
have ever beiore seen this section Of the
state and, tiring Of so much humid wealth
er on the coast and having heard OF the
wonderfully exhilarating effect OF our
sunshine upon both vegetable and animal
| life, they have cultivated desire to
locate here. Many OF them will do so.
| Although the weather during the latter
part of last week and the first part of this
was unusually boisterous for this climate,
not few OF the newcomers have already
expressed their purpose to arrange at an
early day for n permanent residence here.
A few will not go back at all, IL work can
be obtained here The multif0ld express
| sions OF satisfaction with our climate,
amazcment at the productions OF our soil
and delight with the general appearance
OF our country are indeed encouraging.
Mrs. Caroline Walter, aged 80 years
wife of Mr.. NJ. Walter, of the Cowy'i,e,
died at her home yesterday morning
early, after prolonged illness. Deceased
leaves a husband and nine children to
mourn her death. Three sons and three
daughters are married, two of the former
living here--Charles and J. Z. Walter.
Mr.. Walter and wife came t. this county
about three months ago from Bonanza,
Lake county, Oregon, where they have
resided for nineteen years, Mr.. Walter
being proprietor of hotel at that place.
Mrs. Walter was quite ill when they ar
rived here and was too feeble TO recover
strength by reason OF the change Of eli
mate. Funeral services were held mt 10
O'Clock this morning at Cowychee.
Mary II. Smith has, sued +. II. Fisher,
in the Seattle courts, for SIC, 900 for breach
OF promise OF marriage. Many people in
Yakima remember this pair They lived
here as man and wife. Fisher some
months ago married rich widow in Sc
attic. The likelihood is that a number of
prominent Seattle pr ople will figure in
this case. Fisher is there considered as

miles from town. He is nov at the hos

had no money and nothing to eat and
was endeavoring to live on corn till he
could earn dollar or SO.
Fruit boxes have been so scarce in this
vicinity lately as to retard the shi yment
Of fruits. This is unfortunate, as loss
must attend the delay in forwarding
fruits that are ripe enough to harvest.
The orchardists will probably be pre-
pared for such an emergency next season
by purchasing quantity OF suitable lum-
Der and making their own boxes.
Business men Of Yakima City complain
OF the lack of activity in the old town at
this time as compared with business done
there at the beginning of hop-picking sea-
son in former years. There is very little
life noticeable on the streets and the tran
sient trade has fallen off enormously,
owing chiefly, il is thought, to the absence
of money this year.
James +. Cook, OF Yakima City, while
riding on the running gear of his wagon
on Tuesday, met with serious accident,
which may necessitate the amputation OF
Foth legs. A stump in the road caught
bhis feet, and before the team could be
stoPped his legs were torn and mangled
rightfulIy.
Two young ladies of Yakima City, who
Ewere riding toward North Yakima on
Saturday last, were thrown from their
horses. The animals escaped and ran
Ehome. The young ladies, one of whom
WAS quite severely injured, returned on
Moot. Their names could not he ascer-
sained.
