The work of the present term OF the
superior court has not been entirely fin

was taken on Wednesday night, it will
re-convene on Monday, April %, for the
closing Of three or four cases to come on
for hearing at that time. The Edmiston
case stands continued until the next term.

found for plaintiff. Suit was brought to
recover money due on ditch construction.

verdict for plaintiff in the sum OF 1886.

after juries had been impaneled. In the
first case f. Miller is referee, and in the

Mccormick vs.. Fowler, suit on COM

plaintiff in the sum of $3.50.
Samuel Fear VS.. d. w. Simmons, re-

The case of the state VS.. Hyman Harris
came up for hearing and resulted in the
discharge OF Mr.. Harris-who had been
arrested on charge of breaking dam.
p. FL. Kruse, under charge of cattle
stealing, was found guilty. A motion for
new trial and for an arrest of judgment
was over-ruled-and Kruse was sentenced
to years in the penitentiary at hard
labor. 1t Is customary to allow convcts
to follow the avocaton to which they
were accustomed when free. Acting on
this idea, Judge Graves asked Kruse what
had been his trade. Kruse studied q
minute and replied, "Beehunting." AS
this pre-supposes an open prairie with no
ball and chain impediments Mr.. Kruse
will have to take what trade the warden
gives him-Judge Graves being unable
to allow further pursuit OF the old one.

Almost tragedy-but not quite that
is the sum OF the tale of the connubal in
felicity of wealthy Farmer Hawks, OF
Thurston county and his wife. The lat
ter has been a visitor 10 the family of q
friend near Yakima for several weeks,
she being DESTROYS of securing divorce.
On Sunday night her friend left, and Mrs.
Hawks-who, by the way, is so years of
age and not violently prepossessing-a
companied her to the train. So did a
young male friend of the departing lady.
When the east bound train came in the
latter boarded it as Farmer Hawks
alighted. Mrs. Hawks didn't see him,
but he kept his eve on her. He followed
her and her escort-the young man before
mentioned-down the avenue and up to-
ward the court house, Mrs. Hawks hav-
ing another friend in that neighborhood
with whom she intended stopping for the
night. Near the county temple of justice
the husband suddenly overlook the pair,
demanded an explanation, said things had
gone far enough and f1ourished revolver.
The demanded explanation was accorded
aad the principals separated-each going
in opposite directions. On Monday Mrs
Hawks burst upon her attorney with the
statement that hubby was on the street
below, again threatening her life. There
upon two or three men were put upon the
track of Mr.. Hawks, the lady was sent
to meet him, witnesses saw an inter
change of argument and then came q pa
cific termination and the pair walked off
together. On Thursday the whole affair
was probably compromised, for the west
bound train carried them, apparently con-
tented, back to Thurston.
An attempt was made this week by q
number of merchants to inaugurate the
1880 p. m. closing movement. All the
merchants excepting one firm signed the
agreement but the refusal in that quarter
was sufficient to effect the withdrawal
from the contract of part of the others
and as result the movement has termin-
ated into 8 go-as-you-please.

The last quarterly report OF the North
Yakima postoaice has been forwarded to
Washington, d. G. 1t shows goodly
increase in business, yet not so much as
had been anticipated by Postmaster Will
kinson. The gross receipts for each
quarter for the past year were as follows
April to June 80, 1894. ..... 81, 1892. 39
July to September 80, 1894 1,389.87
October to December 81. 1894 1895 .02
January to March 81, 1895. l,727 20
1t will be seen that the quarter ending
January /, 1895, lacked but 1898 OF
reaching the $4,000 per quarter MARIAN
average which would make the Office one
of the second class. The receipts for
January were $772, an amount far in ex-
cess OF the $1,000 Boint-if it had been
kept up; however, February and March
fell away below the January business,
and $l727.20 was the figure for the last
quarter.
The postmaster's salary is now $500.
1t will be $500 next year, and it would
be- $1,000 If the Office became second
class instead of third class, as it now
is. Postmaster Wilkinson looks for this
increase before the expiration of his term
of office, and probably his hopes will be-
come realization.

The courts are about to be bur
dened with Il divorce suit of Mrs,
Gentleman Jim Corbett against her
smuggling husband, 1t seems Jim
took on a lot of courage as soon as
he learned he could fight, and after
he whipped John L, Sullivan, he got
gay and would not allow Mrs. Cor
bett to order him out of bed to make
fires and dust down the cobwebs, as
were her wont in days when he
swept out the bank for a living.
Things have not run smooth with
them, and jim would go off on his
theatrical tours and not leave as
much money by $4,000, as Mrs.
Corbett thought she ought to have
to keep up the dignity of her sta
tlon, As a last resort she asks the
courts to seperate her from her
pompadour Jimmie, on what grounds
we know not. This is the same lit
tie woman that sat up in a newspa-
per Office all night to catch the news
from the ticker" when Jim fought
his first battle, and the newspapers
we're full of the praise she meted
out to her husband on that occa-
