Residents OF this city claim to have
seen Mount Tacoma in eruption on Sum
day last. A black cloud behind the
mountain formed fine back ground, and
dense columns of smoke could plainly be
seen arising from the summit OF the great
bone Of contention between Seattle and
Tacoma. Why the sound papers have
not remarked upon this late proof OF the
Post InteLligencer's explanation OF tie
change in the summit, is uncertain how
ever, it may have been so foggy and
rainy there on Sunday that it was impos-
sible to have noted the phenomenon.
Mayor Charles Lake, OF Yakima City,
says that he had an experience at news

satisfied him. He claims the publisher

left to him. They did very we'll the first
week, but the second week they failed to
issue, for the reporter was arrested for
Strengthening the Queens English,
pleaded guilty and took light sentence.
