has been absent the greater part Of the
week, but his deputies have allowed nc
guilty man to escape. Deputy Sheriff
Dilley arrested a notorious character
named Pat Carr, at Zillah. on Tuesday
and brought him to the Jail in this city
yesterday. At Zillah Deputy Dilley kept
the fellow during Tuesday night, giving
him a room in the hotel, depriving him
OF all his daily attire and putting him to
bed. In this way he cut off opportunity
for escape. Carr is tough character.
Sheriff Dilley has twice before arrested
him for transgressing the law and knows
him like book. He has q special PEN
chant for criminal mirthfulness and II he
is compelled to confront opposition to his
pastime he usually becomes desperate
and the officer who does not know him
would serve his country better by secur-
ing help 10 take him. While In Dilley's
custody he said nothing to indicate his
feeling about being again in the clutches
OF Justice, but il is safe to guess that he
sawed good deal OF wood mentally.
Carr sold whiskey TO Indians this trip.
Robert Rein, in the employ of William
Gross, the avenue butcher, WAS held up
by robbers on Saturday evening, about
dusk, while driving along the east
approach OF the old Mckee bridge. -Four
or FIVE men jumped from the brush along
the roadside and commanded Rein to
stop, one Of the assailants grabbing at the
horses reins and at the same time pull
desire to stop and his horses we're becom-
ing urmanageable with fright. The man
with the gun pointed il at Rein's face
and, as he again called to him to stop. he
pulled the trigger, but the weapon was
not discharged. Again he made an effort
to throw the gun in Rein's face. but the
weapon was discharged before the muir
derous assailant secured his aim BY
this time the team was thoroughly ex-
cited and it plunged by the wouldbe
robbers and scurried away out Of reach
of the thugs, Mr. Rein believes that the
men knew him, although he was unable
positively to recognize any Of them.
Judge II. N. Magure, the Populist ora
tor and the organizer Of new educational
propaganda, addressed an audience at
Mason's opera house on Thursday night,
and on Sunday night again to consider
abte audience in the X. of l.. hall. His
subject was Populism and the character
and purposes of the new educational or
ganization. He will probably speak
again on Saturday evening at Mason's
opera house. The Judge is an earnest
debaler and in this instance he is thor
uughly en- rapport with his theme. He
believes in immediate reform and favors
radical measures to enforce it. His audi
ence was in hearty harmony with him on
the question of the present need OF it in
every department OF government, from
the simple plan of municipal business to
the intricate machinery in the admins
trstion of our great general governmental
affairs.
Mrs. ]. A. Rockford, the wife of the
prosecuting attorney for this county, died
at Sedgwick, Kansas, on September "a.
In July last Mr.. and Mrs. Rockford left
for the east to visit among relatives, hop
ing that change would improve Mrs. RS
rapidly failing health. Consumption
seems to have been the trouble from
which she suffered, and it had too firm a
hold to be favorably effected bv change Of
climate. Mrs. Rockford will be remem-
bered by her many friends in this city as
a most estimable woman, and the news
of her death will cause many an express
sion of sorrow. THE HERALD joins this
entire community in extending sincere
condolences to Mr.. Rockford in his sad
bereavement.
J. M. Ogle caught 10 his nursery few
days ago an pathological curiosity that
has attracted considerable attention. 1t
is believed to be bat, because it looks
more like such creature than anything
else; but II is three or four times as
large as the ordinary bat in this section.
Its head closely resembles that of pug
dog and its tongue and teeth those of a
cat. II is ill-tempered to the degree OF
viciousness that it snaps and Kisses and
spts at any one who disturbs it. 1t is
probably fifteen inches from tip to tip and
about seven inches from nose to tip Of
caudal appendage. 1t has been on exhi-
bition in W. H. Chspman's drug store
during the week.
As we 20 to press tonight a merry
throng is gathering at Switzer's hall, the
occasion being Troop C's opening ball.
The attendance promises to safety antici-
patton. The cavalry boys present an at
tractive appearance in their handsome
uniforms, but the gorgeousness of their
tire is fully equalled by the splendor Of
the caprices Of fashion displayed by the
ladies present. 1t is a gala occasion and
one which will rebound to the credit Of
troop G in the capacity of entertainer.
The music is first-class and the manage
ment seems perfect.
Sheriff Simmons made commendable
effort to apprehend the notorious Archie
Mckay, the horse thief, this week, but
the offense having been committed else
where in the state, he failed OF bis pur-
pose. Mckay was in town when Sheriff
Simmons telegraphed Sheriff Matthe IS,
of Pierce county, where the scoundrei did
his last work. but Pierce county, it seems,
didn't want him. The same response re-
suited from telegram to Kittitas; so our
sheriff was compelled to let the villain
escape. No wonder horse-thieves flourish
in this state.
