vas In the back room attending TO some
duty. only dim light illuminating the
second apartment and that which he &C.
eupied. la the front shop everything
was dark. Mr.. Kyle says he heard no
noise, but sudden thought OF cats
struck him. and remembering the
Thanksgiving turkey hanging head and
neck down on the front counter, he went
out to see that no feline molested his
wares. Just as he got to the counter a
man bounded from a crouching position
behind it, stumbled over a box and ran
swiftly out OF the door, ten feet away, be-
fore the proprietor could tell where he
was at" The money drawer showed
signs OF being tempered with, but the
would be thief probably hadn't time to
finish his job Mr.. Kyle followed the
fleeing form for several blocks, but was
unable to catch up with or identify it,.
Instead he ran into another man, who
gruffiy asked what was his hurry, and in
propitiating him the slippery rogue escap-
ed. Mr.. Kyle thinks his human side

ner of the thief, but doesn't know, of

a very quiet ceremony was that per-
formed on Tuesday evening at o'clock
by Rev. Brown. of st. Michael's Epsco-
pal church, at the home OF Mrs. F. G.
Sharkey, which united two Of this city's
popular young people, Mr.. George Gull
land and Miss Edith Roberts. MIR. Gull
land is the energetic and faithful deputy
u. s. marshal of this district, known by
everybody and with but few enemies,
notwithstanding his official position and
the serious and unpleasant duties it some
times neresstates. The bride is one OF
Yakima's farest daughters, and an intel.
ligent and charming young lady, promi-
nent in society and possessing large
circle OF warm friends. Only immediate
relatives witnessed the ceremony, those
being Mr.. and Mrs. +. G.. Sharkey, Mrs.
Guilland, David Guilland. Miss Guilland,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Bartholet, ir.
After "A wedding supper the bride and
groom drove to their newly builded and
furnished home on Knob Hill, west OF
the city. THE HERALD voices the senti-
ment of its many readers when it ex-
tends it's warmest congratulations and
beet wishes to the young people
Agent l.. T. Erwin was 10 the city on
Tuesday from the reservation. Speaking
of the hard times, he said that they did
not appear to be 80 very close, based
upon his experience IN securing teachers
for the reserve. The civil service rules,
he states, are followed strictly in filling
positions in the Indian schools. The
names of teachers who have passed ex-
animation under the rules are huffled to-
gether, and by lot the fortunate ones are
chosen and then notified to report on the
reserve where the vacancy to be filled
exists. On two occasions, Agent Erwin
says, he has had teachers thus assigned
him, and they have failed to report, the
salary of 5000 per annum apparently
being no object. Hence the opinion that
times aren't so bad as alleged.
1t is rumored that Yakima is soon to
have another gents furnishing goods
house, the proprietor being Pendleton,
Ogn., man. 1t is said that he would i'm
mediately remove here, but for the fact
that no vacant business houses can be
found. The demand in this line is stead
lily keeping up with the supply, new store
rooms being occupied as soon as they are
finished and the old ones renting immed-
lately for fair sums. Yakima's business
growth is phenomenal, even to the city's
warmest adherents. who are now finding
that their faith in the ultimate prosperity
of this section is well founded.
John Stone took several of his famous
game birds over to Tacoma on Sunday
for main with cocks owned by Lederer
and Halstead. The event came off on
Monday night, and while one of the
Yakima birds won the second main,
Tacoma cock took the first on "funk"
by Stones black red and the third after
25-minute set-to with the winner of the
second. Tacoma claimed stakes and side
money, and all the cocks began to crow
over Yakima's defeat. Inch and one
fourth gaffs were used. Stones birds
were not in good condition, which may
account for their defeat
The first lot of matches from the Yak

extensive scale.
The grand masquerade ball at the Ho-
tel Riverside, Prosser, given Thursday

attended on the part of Yakima dancers.
Many invitations were extended this
city's young people. but home attractions
proved superior and the boys did not go.
