Inc reproduction oil the "Conlederate
Spy" on Saturday evening, Feb. 3, prom
ises to be largely attended, as IL certainly
should be. II is TO be given under the
auspices Of st. Michael's Ladies Relief
society, the proceeds Of the entertainment
to be spent in purchasing supplies for the
poor OF the city, who have been unable TO
obtain work and are suffering during the
present trying winter. The Ladies' asso-
citation is doing excellent work. The So
ciety, while having been organized by the
rector of st. Mchael's, includes in its
membership ladies from the different
christian churches in the city, and no dis
tinction of creed or condition is made in
the relief afforded. Prof. Rasmus kindly
consented to remain in Yakima for
week longer, in order TO assist the society
in its efforts, and the members of Troop
Chave generously furnished the histrionic
talent. This is most worthy object, and
every one should consider 1t privilege
to purchase a ticket. Admission zoe,
children, half price. Tickets are for sale
at Chapman's store,
Court convenes ON Monday next, Judge
Graves presiding. Among the important
cases to be tried will be that OF Feamster,
charged with assault with intent to COM
NIT murder upon the person of Mr.. III.

taken by Banker Edmiston, of Walla
Walla, will bring those causes mp for hear
ing in the coming term in this county.
Judge Sol Smith, OF Goldendale, is ex-
pected in the city before the coming SEES
sion ends, and it is more than probable

continued Ahtsnum water rights cases

faction of many settlers and farmers ir
that fertile valley. These cases were
started for trial in 1891 and came up for
trial in '92, much more than year hav-
ing elapsed since the court took them I'M
der advisement preparatory to giving a
decision.
