The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1896-05-21

Keeping IONS were again nOSlnY ABOUT
on Sunday last with the result OF COM
| plant being made against T.. w. Dooley
for violation OF the Sunday law. 1t is
said that complaint will also be filed
against the proprietors OF the Hotel Yaki-
ma bar and several dealers in cigars and
tobacco. The saloon men feel deeply
agrieyed and say that while they pay the
heaviest license in the state, they are
closed up on Sunday to the profit of drug
stores which pay no license. 1t is con-
ceded that by the end of the year not
over three saloons will be carrying IL
censes, loss OF revenue to the city OF
$4,000. Where North Yakima will "get
off" with this curtailment of income is a
problem that is now worrying those who
are figuring on the municipal finances.
Perhaps those who have no property in
terests here and who are the most active
in the Sunday crusade will come to the
relief of the city treasury.
Agent L. T. Erwin was in from the
reservation on Tuesday distributing sew
eral hundred dollars among our merchants
and ordering goods to the value of several
hundred more. He said that from the
assault made upon him by the Times he
had almost concluded that the merchants
wanted to drive his trade to Ellensburg
or The Dalles but upon arrival here found
he had no trouble ia placing his money
or his business. When asked respecting
the charges made about the construction
of the irrigation ditch he stated that he
was simply working under instructions of
the department and had no other course
to follow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Nseler were pleas
antly surprised on Tuesday evening by

enjoyably. The surprisers were Mr.. and

One of his Authorizations is that he will
take his teams and scrapers and build a
big reservoir on top of Snipes' mountain.
This reservoir is to hold both hot and
cold water, with which he is to dose the
bad residents of Sunnyside, to be fol-
lowed by powerful physic. "Then you
will see them skip out OF the country at
lively rate," he gleefully exclaims.

ments in the McGonigle case, which was
taken under advisement. Mr.. Englehart

| tanned, but in case OF reversal he be-
| lieves that another trial would terminate
even more seriously for the patricide.
