which the only court OF justice in the
Territory was held. The first Legi>la-
turc met in the building adjoining,
and were housed across the passage
way by mine host Edmund Sylvester.
1t was here that the memorable event
OF the arrest of Judge Landcr's court
occurred pending the declaration oi
martial law by Gov. Stevens. The
court was holding session in one of
the lower halls of the venerable pile,
when MaXon's company Of volunteers
marched in with bayoncts set, took
the Judge from the bench and incar-
cerated him in the Territorial Library
room, which then occupied building
about where Noschka's saloon now
stands. Here, too, in Washington
hall, (the upper story of the ell on Sec
ond street, now partitioned into bed
rooms) occurred about all the social
happenings of the little village-the
balls, the fairs, the soirees, the shows,
confined entirely to local TALENT"
amid which General Jack Rags Gre
clan Statues" loomed into wonderful
significance. All public meetings and
political gatherings were likewise held
in Washington hall, and it was not
relegated to other uses until Columbia
hall entered the field as a rival, early
in the seventies"
The old building covers considerable
space, but is only two stories in height,
and as the olden time was not an era
of lofty ceilings, it presents some
what "squatty" appearance. It may
be pleasing bit of news to many that
there is probability that the old car
avansary will be re-opened, report has
it, by Mr.. Higgins, of the stone
quarry at Plum's station.
The realty known as Young's "ad-
dition" comprises some of the finest
building lots on Budd's Inlet. They
are on sloping hillside, facing sun
rise, with the grandest view of old
Rainier that is to be obtained any
where on Puget Sound. The late
home of Mr.. Young is on a shelving
point fronting the addition, on which
splendid spring of clear cold water
gushes continually from the bank,
with sufficient force to distribute it all
over the household.
The judgment of the loan company
was for $2S,O6S.O3 and costs of FORE
closure. The sale-the property being

amount, but the company have prom

able evidence of leniency on the part
of loan company, no matter how de-
serving the subject. Mr.. Young lost
his property through his public spir-
tied endeavor to advance the interests
of this community, and has the pro-
found sympathy of all whose hearts
beat in sympathy with misfortune.

and the amounts at which it was bid
