& Holt, attorneys, Tacoma. The store
fixtures brought $3.50 additional, the horse
and drsy $50, and l6 tons of rye grass In
the Donald ware house sold for SIS, Mr..
Hudson as agent bidding in everything.
Mr.. q. S. Rankin on Saturday bid $500
for the building and grounds, that sum
being the amount of his claim. There is
mortgage of 5000 on the three lots and
store building, and Mr.. Rankin's pur-
chase is, of course, subject to that obliga-
ton. Mr.. Hudson informed a HERALD
reporter that the stock OF goods would
not be thrown upon the market in the
way Of slaughter sale, but would prob
ably be put into the hands Of a competent
dealer for disposal at retail. That is only
fair to Yakima merchants, who could and
would but suffer If the heavy line Of dry
goods, etc, were sold freely at sacrifice
prices. Mr.. Arthur Coffin bid up to $500
upon the goods, but stopped at that
figure. The invoice showed 10000 OF
stock
The best work ever performed by the
fire department in this city was that
which followed the alarm on Saturday
night. Almost before the bell had ceased
telling, four streams of water from as
many MIGRANTS were playing on the
flames which shot up over Beck's hall,
corner A and First streets. The building
was as dry as finder and the night breezes
strong; but the firemen had the conf1ag-
ration under control in less than fifteen
Misunderstanding the entire row of frame
shacks to the north as well as the first
floor OF the burning structure. How the
fire originated no one seems to know.
Some pops. had been holding a caucus
the evening previous, yet none Of them
will plead guilty to even infiammatory
language. The fire was discovered about
| O'Clock a. IN. The second floor was
pretty well burned out, but the loss is
fully covered by insurance. Mr.. Beck
carried $500 on the shack, and the dam
age will not exceed $500 or $500. AS to
the firemen-for the first time since its
purchase the engine was not used, and
there are many who imply that is the
reason for the rapid work of extinguish-
ing the flames.

man in this city. They concluded their
deal on Monday, paying $4,000 in cash

The Christian church people of this
city are figuring upon Handsome new
building to replace the old one. Should
the plans reach consummation, a stone

floor area OF s8xl35 feet will result, the
whole edifice to be built on modern arch
itectural desgns-a place Of worship
which will reflect great credit upon the
city.
