Attorney Richard 0rmsbee, OF Walls
walla, who was engaged in the prosecution
OF banker J. X. T. imiston charged with &C.
cspting deposits after full knowledge OF the
insolvency and failing condition OF the
WallaWalls Savings bank. was Yakima
visitor on Saturday. f. imiston after his
conviction, was granted an opportunity
TO appeal the case n the supreme court
OF the state, but the time for filing the
transcript and perfecting the appeal hav-
ing expired Mr.. 0rmsbee was here for the
purpose Of attending to the details nee
esssry to the execution Of The sentence OF
two years imprisonment in the peniten-
tisry imposed by Judge Graves. Mr.. Ed
mission has been at liberty since his trial
on bond executed by Thomas Harvey
and Frank Sinclair, and the last knowledge
Mr.. Ormsbee had OF him was that he was
in British Columbia. Edmiston however
told j. L. Sharpstein who with ii. j.
Snively conducted his case, that he would
give himself up to the authorities and
serve the sentence imposed. Mr. Snively
on Wednesday. stated to a HERALD re-
porter thst he dined with Edmiston on
Tuesday, that the ex-banker was looking
well but would mot 90 to the penitentia-
ry." Edmiston said as much at the tune
Of his conviction, and intimated that
death would be preferable to serving time.
The application Of Attorneys Reavis &
EnRlebart, who represent the holders Of
$25 900 OF bonds of the Selah Valley lrrl-
CATION company, fer the appointment of a
receiver for that corporation, was argued
before Judge Graves on Thursday. On
the property of the company there is a
first mortgage of $1,000; a second mort
gage Of about $4,000, and trust bonds for
1856, 200. After full argument Judge
Graves appointed Hon. Edward Whitson
receiver with bonds in $4,000. The
officers of the company at first intended
to file supersedeas bond and appeal the
question, but It is now understood they
| will not contest the action Of the court.
The receivership will probably last only
short time, as Judge Graves is opposed
to long receiverships and his experience
in the B. E. Snipes estate has confirmed
him in this view.

The populist picnic on Saturday last
was not pronounced success. The at
tendance was much smaller than antici-
pated, and the principal speakers, who
were to have come from the sound, failed
to make connections. j. p. Berg, J. A.
Rockford and Joseph Douglas did the or
atorical work, and long-winded job
they made OF it. The most enjoyable
part OF the meeting was the lunch, which
showed that the women folk are all right,
even if they haven't the voting privilege.
M. V. b. Stacy is still cherishing the
project of building line of narrow gauge
railroads through the most thick ly settled
valleys of Yakima and has interested John
Reed in an endeavor to secure the right
of-way up the Ahtanumn and 10 the old
town, via the state fair grounds. Mr..
Stacy says he can command the steel and
rolling stock but wants those most bene-
fitted to grant the right-of-way and assist
in the grading of the road-bed.

with company f. the order rehibilitating
Troop Cor Troop A as it will hereafter
be known-is daily anticipated.
Thieves have been getting very bold Of

horse belonging to George G. Arrow
smith and after relieving the animal Of
a saddle turned him loose on the Mckee
fiat. The horse was recovered but the
saddle is still missing.
| City Marshal Chas. Lille, Respondent
iu new suit Of blue clothes, left for Walla
Walla on Sunday rs q witness against the
two men charged with robbing the post
Office at Walluls. Marshal Lille
will fall in for handsome reward in case
a conviction is secured, which seems very
probable from the evidence against the
prisoners.
On Saturday last the wo nan who goes
under the name of Mrs. "Tex." Bagwell,
