shots at some Of the sisters in st. Joseph's
academy, while they were standing in the
windows on Monday afternoon at o'clock
\ HERALD reporter visited the academy
on Tuesday, ami found that the broken
windows probably resulted from the on
slaugbts OF the small boy armed with a
"nigger shooter" Fully % shots must
have been taken at the building. Seven
window panes were broken, five OF the
bullets went into the rooms where some
OF the sisters were; and, while they were
standing in the front OF the building and at
the windows regular shower of the
leaden missiles fell around them. They
were, however, unable to discover who
was doing the firing. although Sister
Stanislaus was told that two boys with
cross-boys had been seen that afternoon
in the vacant lot north of the residence Of
w. L. Steinweg. II the sisters can ascer-
tain who broke the windows they will de-
mand payment for them of the boys
fathers; ard if the parents would also be-
stow sound thrashing upon their
progeny, it is possible that no further in
cident OF the kind will happen.
Mr.. Edward Mudd, of Zillah, is in the
city this week for the purpose of inter
viewing ali of the holders of lands i'm the
Sunnyside valley lying above the line Of
the big canal. There are l75 land holders
for the property so far listed, and many
Yakima. Mr.. Mudd proposes to sink an
artesian well TO a depth of 1909 feet, il
necessary, the owners OF land in the lower
county to pay him $40 each for his labor
and then to take and use the water
from the we'll. The payments are to be
made in four equal sums of $3.50 each /;
at the time machinery is delivered, at a
depth of 2j0 feet, at 500 feet and at 1000
feet. To get the benefit of artesan water
at a cost of only $40, in four easy pay
ments, is an opportunity rarely offered.
Mr.. Mudd has promises from 81 OF the
l75 land holders Should he secure 43
more he will begin the work. The well
will be sunk in section 20, where there
are several springs similar to those in the
Mckee; and, like that portion OF the lat
ter valley, section 26 in the Sunnyside is
thought to be a natural artesian basin.
Marshal Lille on Tuesday arrested two
sheep herders for driving their flocks
across and breaking down a city ditch.
However, the men were subsequently
liberated-with a warning not to repeat
the offense. This is matter which oc-
and the marshal states that future offend
ers must suffer the penalty provided by
law for such msdemeanor. A band OF
sheep totally destroys any embankment
like the temporary walls of small ditch.
In addition, there is no reason why sheep
should come within the city limits, unless
for shipment from the stock yards. There
is plenty of room on the outside-and
there the bitches are larger and more sub
stantially constructed.
According to the New York Sun the

him until Sheriff Riner's arrival.
