A peace warrant was issued on Satur-
day last against Doctor Tansey Myers,
the truckman, on complaint OF Nat
held before Justice Rodman Monday
afternoon, when it was developed that
Yeates paid for beef tongue and had it
delivered at Myers residence, which ad-
joins that occupied by Yeates. This was
supposed to be gentle intimation that
some one in the Myers household was
given to gossip. The tongue in a mutt
lated form found its way over to the
Yeates house, and then on Nov. 9th,
while Yeates was digging a potato pit 10
his yard, Myers made his appearance
with gun, which he had recently pur-
chased to "stop an enemy from talking
about his wife," and fired two or three
shots across the Yeates premises. The
witnesses for Yeates were mainly in the
employ or close friends of Myers and did
not testify to the facts which Mr.. Yeates
said they would, and as soon as they
were through with their evidence, Prose-
cutting Attorney Englehart made state
ment to the effect that he had been mis-
led as to the evidence that would be sub
mitted and asked for dismissal. On
account OF the prosecuting witness being
an old man and in very poor circum-
stances, and that he would have to serve
out the costs il they were taxed against
him, they were assessed to the county.
1t was another case OF neighborhood
row in which the taxpayers have to bear
the burden.
Harry Haste pleaded guilty to the
charge Of selling liquor to Indians in the
U. s. court at Walla Walla last week
Haste has improved SO much in appear
ance since his arrest that Deputy Mar
shall Catron hardly recognized him. His
friends who knew him in better days,
before opium had dragged him In the
dregs, have provided him with good
clothes, and his fellow prisoners have
dignified him by making him judge of
the kangaroo court. The dose of dope
which he was forced to take was grad
ually lessened until he of his own free
will told the jailor he would have no
more of it. He says his arrest was the
very best thing that could have hap
pened to him and that when he is again
at liberty he will be new man and lead
better life.
John s. Miller, of the private banking
firm of Miller 4 Hough, of this city, ex-
pected to arrive here last week from
Helena, Montana. but threatened trouble
in the Diamond Hill mine, of which he
is the principal owner, prevented his
leaving. A strike was precipitated, and
on last Friday Mr.. Miller visited the mine
to order the strikers off, but was so
roughly handled that he will be unable
to leave his bed for some days. The
governor then ordered the militia out,
but when the troops arrived the trouble
was over.
Major Frost, OF Ellensburgh, has an
nounced his staff as follows: Quarter
master, Charles F. Painter, Walla Walla f;
inspector Of rifle practice, ii. E. Hamm,
Dayton; commissary, Julius Caesar Hub
bell, Ellensburg; signal officer, J.. M.
Blake, Spokane; sergeant major, Clyde
v. Warner, Ellensburg; quarterinaster
sergeant, Edward Mills, Waitsburg; ad-
iutant, G. E. Dickson, Ellensburg.
Walter ]. Reed, OF Gle Elum, was in
town Monday. He says for the past
three months the Roslyn miners have
had almost constant work, a condition
that has not prevailed for several years,
and as a consequence they are contented
and fairly prosperous. A contract with
the o. r. 4 N. Co. for 20 cars of coal
per diem is largely the reason for the
mining activity.
DIR. G. j. Hill is again out after two
weeks of very serious sickness. He is
greatly reduced in flesh and exceedingly
weak. The doctor lays his trouble to
overwork, worry and loss OF sleep, and
says he has found 1t almost too much to
try and be a hop grower, doctor, q
member Of the city council, and run a
hop pickers' jubilee all at the same time.
Some one rode off horse belonging to
W. F. Jones on Friday night of last week
and after stripping the animal of saddle,
| bride and blanket turned him loose to
find his way home. These occurrences
are becoming altogether too frequent and
should be an additional incentive for the
police to clear the town Of hobos and all
suspicious characters.
Many, people, when little constipated
make the mistake OF using saline or other
drastic purgatives. All that is needed is
mild dose of Ayers Pills to restore the
regular movement of the bowels, and
nature will do the rest. They keep the
system in perfect order.
While Charles Uhlman was in the
Ahtanum valley Saturday on a cattle
buying trip his horse fell and rolled on
the rider, severely bruising his right leg
and foot. but fortunately not infieting
any serious injury.
