ing short of dandy for selling whiskey
to dssipated siwashes. On the way TO
the jail one man, more venturesome than
the others, broke away and escaped. OF
course he. couldn't leave the two men to
their freedom to follow the scapegrace, so
he dropped his gun in his usual way and
delivered shot at the renegade. 1t stag

to follow him and the result was that he
got away. The other two were marched

A stone building is being erected on
First street, between Yakima avenue and
Chestnut street, for the Yakima Republic
1t will be neat and substantial structure
and THE HERALD wishes it all the COM
fort stone wall and party platform can
afford it. We are exceedingly pleased to
note the prosperity OF our neighbor, for il
deserves it; and the community will
rejoice with us in the fact, because the
thrifty newspaper reflects the business
character OF the community in which it
has its tumultuous being.
The chrysanthemum festival, for which
many are waiting with marked expec-
fancy, will be held on Thanksgiving eve,
in switzer's hall. Very perfect prepara-
ton has been made and the young ladies
who have interested themselves so gen.
erouslv in arranging such complete pro-
gram for the entertainment of patrons of
the festival deserve great credit and
crowded attendance. The contest for
prizes will doubtless be an interesting
feature OF the evenings exercises.

City Councilman Redmon returned
home yesterday, after four-weeks' visit
at his old home in Missouri and other
eastern points. He was accompanied by
his father, who is in bad health, and who
desired climatic change. Mr.. X still

than ever that there is no land like that
of the Yakima. He predicts an unusual
immigration hither this winter.
The company to which the contrac

Col. II. d. Cock returned t, the city
this week arter q sojourn in the lower end
of the county, during which time he en-
joyed cunning for feathered game in that
section. He was quite successful, but he
reports game not so plentiful this season
as usual. The geese and ducks have been
hunted great deal and are very wild.
City Treasurer Boggs, of Tacoma, is the
center Of sensation. Nobody knows
where the city funds are and he refuses
to tell them. Public sentiment against
him is rapidly crystalizing and there is
likelihood of disastrous complication
over the matter in few days, if the mys-
terry is not cleared up.

He is now convalescing and his many
friends sincerely hope to hear of his early
recovery.

of the leading personages of the tribe, and
with dealing foully with them in other
respects. Trouble of serious nature is
expected.
The city council held secret session
this 'ening. They met to discuss an
important matter, full report of which
may be had at the next regular meetinE ,
on Monday evening next. There's
occasion for alarm. however, as city coun-
ellis frequently meet in secret session.
