The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1895-09-05

CifCuiation tnat Cnebter h0scn1elu, the
10 year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. l..
Rosenfeld, had been drowned in the
Yakima river, while bathing with party
Of young friends. The sad event occurred
shortly after two o'clock. The boys COM
panions heard him calling out that he
was drowning, but he had on previous
occasions made the same cutlery in sport,
and 80 no attention was paid to his sig
mails until too late. The body was recov.
cred after ten minutes by George Van
Buskirk, and although every effort was
made by Doctors Taft, Fletcher and
Frank, they were unable to call back the
spark OF life. The funeral was held from
the residence Of the sorrowing parents on
Tuesday, having been postponed for one
day to await the arrival of the elder
brother Of the deceased from California.
The services were read by Rev. NJ. L.
Rose and were most impressive. The
pail bearers were Willie Her, Irvine
Bounds, Herman Frank, Guy Allen,
Frank Sharkey and Allie Dennis. Much
sympathy is felt for the family Of the de-
ceased over their great loss, for Chester
was one OF the brightest boys of Yakima.
His department was always manly and
his actions ever upright, and all who
knew him held him 10 high consideration
and friendship.
The Commercial club rooms were
thrown open Monday evening to give a
farewell to the Rev. s. H. Cheadle. A
large number of people gathered and a
very pleasant hour was spent. Mr..
Cheadle has been in Yakima upwards of
seven years and has made host Of
friends, who one and all expressed regret
at his departure and wished him God
speed wherever he might go. Rev. Sal
yer gave voice to the sentiment of the
people very feelingly and fittingly. The
program arranged was brief and enter
tanning, Mrs. Louis Lesh, Mrs. A. L.
Slemmons and Mr.. A. G. Swindlehurst
rendering vocal selections and Miss Lee
and Miss Miles giving Rotations. The
ladies had prepared collation. of fruits
and cream, which was served in most
tempting form and to which hearty jus.
tice was paid. A small purse was pre-
sented Rev. Cheadle by Mr.. George s.
Vance, on behalf OF a few of the recipi-
ent's friends, after which goodbyes were
said and all went home feeling that the
only regret of an enjoyable evening was
that Mr.. Chesdle was 80 soon TO leave
them for other fields.
The council met in regular session
Monday evening and among other bust
ness granted a renewal Of E. W. Dooley's
liquor license. The petition of citizens Of
the west side for better protection against
fire was referred to the proper committee,
as was the claim Of Whitson & Parker
and Reavis & Milroy for $3.50 for legal
services in the case of Sewer Contractor
Schmidt versus the city. Claims, in
Guiding the monthly pay roll, to the
amount of $6l3.77 we're ordered paid.
An ordinance regarding licensing places
of amusement and business was referred
to the city attorney and an ordinance
regarding the thickness Of brick and
stone walls in buildings was laid over
until the next meeting, after considerable
discussion. Reports from the various
city officers were read and referred.
The trial of those who are alleged to
have been implicated in the lynching of
the Wilson's, at Ellensburg, has been set
for the 10th inst. There are now nine
prisoners in Jail under this charge, and
it is claimed that seven more arrests are
to be made. One report is that John
Shoudy and John Kangley are on the
list, but The HERALD's informant main
tains that, while these leading citizens
might have been present, he is positive
that in no way did they aid or give coun-
tensnce to the lynching. Messrs. Snive-
ly, Warner, Prime, j. b. Davidson and
WEIGH are the attorneys retained for the
the defense. Feigel. Under, Linke, Ken
nedy and Uebelocker will be the first of
the prisoners placed on trial.
The local land officers have decided the
contest case of George l.. Finn against
Ellen Stohan in favor OF Finn. The
property is of considerable value, across
the river from the town Of Prosser. 1t
was originally filed on by Col. Prosser
and jumped by the sanity John Walker.
Rev. Walker, finding he was disqualified
from holding it, had his sister-in-law file
on the land, and the contest was insti-
tuted by Finn on the grounds that the
property was being held by Mrs. Stohan
for the use and benefit of Walker. There
was some extremely conflicting testimony
in the case.
The Commercial club held an interest
ing business session on Saturday evening
last. At the request Of Land Commits
sioner Phipps, of the Northern Pacific,
E. +. Benson was authorized to forward
an exhibit of fruit for the Minnesota state
fair. The matter OF placing an exhibit
at the Atlanta exposition and sending
an immigration agent east was also dis
cussed.
Mrs. Vittum, Mrs. Hamlin and Miss
Austin, of st. Paul, representatives Of the
Pioneer Press, were in the city Wednes-
| day in the interest of that uaner They
