I last week, and was rearrested lin COM
pany with companion who got out OF

time) in Prosser. The sheriff tele-
graphed the constable there to hold
the men; but, upon arriving at that
village, found that Smith had bull
dozed his guard into allowing him
to get away. Only the minor offender re-
turned. Both had nearly served out
their time, as the sheriff had been work
ing them in the jail yard. Some expense
is saved the county by Smiths levanting,
and no harm done. This week the sheriff
opened letter addressed to Smith by a
school girl in Corvallis, Ore, TO whom
the prisoner had written. He had evil

messages. Smith Will probably take his
two little girls to Oregon-and he may

their kindly offices will not be unwel-
coined by the poor wife and mother.
Secretary Courier, of the Masonic lodge,
has received a communication from the
manager of General o. o. Howard and
General FitzhGgh Lee, asking that dates
be given them for lecture some time in
the fall of '05. They are said to be pre-
pairing to travel together, under caption
OF 'The Blue and the Gray" 1t is to be
hoped the Masonic order can provide a
| date for these distinguished officers in the
war of the rebellion, who, although once
crossing swords in conflict, are now bound
by ties of friendship and esteem. How
ever, what Yakima most wishes from the
scrap book OF Gen. Howard is his tales OF
the Indian wars in this section, back in
the '70s.
