Henry Oldenstadt, prosperous cattle
buyer OF Prosser was in the city Mon
day and Tuesday and dropped a couple OF
large pieces of white metal" at The
HERALD Office in renewal OF his subscrip-
ton. He says beef cattle are getting
scarce and commanding stiff price, with
the prospects favorable for their going
still higher.
G. ii. Barrett, the architect, whose at
tempt to defraud the North Yakima
school district was ventilated in The HER
AID some months since, left rather sud-
denly for California on Saturday last in
search of new business location. He
stated that North Yakima was no place
for first class architect, and showed
himself ready to give the city and citi-
zens the force OF his venom. 1t seems
unfortunate that Yakima could not APP
preciate Barrett's peculiar talents-artis-
tic and otherwise. Perhaps had they
4.been OF less diversified order, unmixed
with the practice of tactics trife too
coarse even for the average Yakima
builder; or had the various romantic
tales which this 42-year-old young boy
vouchsafed concerning his brief career !,
remained untold, while young girls were
the listeners, more coin of the realm
might have flowed into his Golfers. His
love making was directed at feminine
novices and while pouring his superhuity
Of soft words and minimum of ideas into
their ears he lncomprehensibly seemed to
forget the wife with whom he lived for 10
years before she obtained divorce from
him. Barrett has gone, but not to the re-
greet or discontinue of Yakima; neither
to the social nor artistic advantage of the
golden state.
Receiver Oakes says that Paul Schulze
WAS defaulter to the Northern Pacific in
amounts aggregating 100000, and which
may run up as high as $3.50 900. The
office of which Schulze was the head had
not been checked up since 1888, and the
first intimation the receivers had OF a
shortage was the complaints of land
purchasers that they could not secure
deeds after making full payments on con-
tracts. Robert A. Hume, of this city,
was employed to visit the various pur-
chasers of Northern Pacific lands and
rheck up on payments. His report di-
rect to the receivers doubtless precipitated
Schulze's removal and subsequent sui
3 eide. Mr.. Cakes says he| has positive
information that Schulze embezzled from
The Yakima Investment company, but in
this he is probably mistaken, for there is
an intimation that the company will at
tempt to show that considerable OF the
money DETECTED from the treasury of the
Northern Pacific was; elnployed in the
construction of the cafiaH' Those who
are posted on the affairs OF the Invest
Iuent company claim that this showing
cannot be made. Land purchasers, ac-
cording to Mr.. Cakes, will lose nothing
by the defalcation. Later reports are
that Mr.. Schulze's embezzlements will
aggregate 100000.
jeff Mcdaniel, +. r. Wilson, Andy
Popovitcb, w. F. Powell and w. d.
Walker, friends OF Dick Ball, are carrying
a stuffed club which they say they pro-

tunity. The vengeiul spirit rises from the
alleged disappearance of Ball on Satur-
lay night. His friends missed him on
Sunday and Mrs. Ball was much worried
ON account of his absence. He had left
home on Saturday evening in search of
horse which had strayed from his home,
telling his wife he would return in two or
three hours. He did not come back that
night; Sunday passed, Monday few by
and still no word from Ball. Tuesday
morning searching party was organized.
headed by the above gentlemen. Others
were to have gone out in the afternoon,
but Mr.. Ball was found by the first party
about noon on Tuesday, away up the
Wenss, still looking for his horse. He
had been on its trail all of the time,
but could not overtake 1t; and, thinking
nothing OF possible worry on the part OF
his friends or his wife, sent no message
