Deny abe AIIeRatien.

The HERALD last week noted the COM
plant that was being circulated on the
streets regarding the killing of young
grouse by Seattle member of rod and
gun club and two residents of this city,
who are members of similar organizs-
ton. THE HERALD expressed itself 10th
to believe such accusation against any
true sportsmen, but the charges have
been directly made by a neighborhood
paper and it is current gossip on the
streets that Joseph Schlumpf, Henry
Griffin and T. R. Fisher are the parties
accused. A representative OF this paper
has interviewed each OF these gentlemen
who Indignantly deny any violation Of
the law and are anxious to meet any per-
son who dares to make such a charge.
They claim to have always upheld the
game laws, both by their own actions and
their influence and that the imputation
lie false in every particular in rejecting
on their integrity as sportsmen. As
these gentlemen have tried to chase the
report down and confront those who have
given 1t circulation, THE HERALD consid-
ers they are entitled to the confidence and
belief of the public in their denial.

Arrangements for the big Yakima fair
are further advanced ut this date then
were those for the state fair last year, and
the committees are going ahead with q
vim that is an assurance Of success.
They say they cannot find the word
"fsi'' in their lexicon and il the interest
and energy SO far displayed does not flag
the Yakima fair will be Q hummer. )"
The arrangements are in good hands and
while the prospects are that no great
amount Of money will be at the disposal
OF the committees Yakima's pluck and
public spirit will carry them through with
flying colors. The state fair wasn't as
creditsble as fair given by the citi-
zens of this county some eight or
nine years ago and the photo-engravings
OF the agricultural and horticultural ex-
hibit then made are still being published
and are among the most attractive adver-
Using features ever issued by the state.
There is no reason that success should
not be excelled this fall for then Yakima
was in the experimental stage and now
she has blossomed into the most produc-
tive and progressive section of the agri-
cultural northwest.
The executive committee of the fair
met in the office of Fechter & Ross or
Tuesday evening and elected o. A. Fech-
ter president; G.. G. Brownell secretary
and Hugh Sinclair treasurer. Messrs.
Redmon, Benson and Whitson were
named as the committee on printing /;
Horsley and Brownell on premiums, and
Lawrence aud Aiken on subcommittee
in school districts. Attractive prizes will
be given for the best county exhibit, in
dividual exhibits and for the greatest
variety of products raised on any one
farm. The proceeds OF the grand stand
will be devoted TO the horse races and
this with the entrance fees for races will
comprise the purses. All other receipts
will be devoted to the necessary expenses
and to the agricultural, horticultural and
stock displays.
The fair will be held in October, be-
ginning the eth inst. and continuing one
week. This date was selected because
hop picking will then have been finished
and it is proposed to make the Indian
feature an important and attractive one.
1t will be remembered that the big chiefs
who were here last year promised to come
this season equipped with all their war
dresses and other paraphernalia prepared
to give the war dances in manner that
it is seldom the good fortune of white
people to see. The expert figure dancers
of the varisus tribes from the Rocky
mountains west will also be present, and
the fleet horses from the various tribes
are to be put in training for the races.
Runners have already visited the several
agencies and report that these plans,
made last year, are to be carried out on q
grand scale.

Erish,fuI Ru mn way.

On Friday last John Rieckhoff, farm
er, while iourneying to town stepped on
to the tongue OF his wagon to adjust
piece of bis harness which had become
displaced. He will probably not try this
again, especially with horses having cay
use blood In them, for one Of the animals
commenced kicking and Mr.. Rieckhoff
was thrown under their heels, receiving
q vicious kick In the face. Free from all
restraint the horses started of on the run.
Up Second street they travelled at fright
full pace, defying all efforts to stop them
until they were opposite the court house
when some daring man, who was too
modest to give his name, caught hold of
the tailboard of the wagon and swung
himself in. In an effort to get hold OF
the lines he was thrown on to the pole,
but regaining his position be soon
brought the animals to stop by turning
them into the fence.
Mr.. Rieckhoff's injuries were of q most
severe nature. One Of his eyes was en-
tirely closed by the calk of the shoe and
badly swollen, while his face and head
were cut and one ear torn. At first all
efforts to have him see doctor were I'M
svailing and he started for home. He
evidently reoonsidered his determination,
however, for .he was soon back again and
his wounds were skillfully dressed by q
physician. 1t is well he came to this
conclusion, for had he not. the chances
were in favor of his losing the injured
eye and possibly his life.
