The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1897-05-13


horses, which have been pastured on the
Cleman ranch for many months past,
were sold at sheriff g sale, Saturday, on
judgment amounting to 1890, which
had been assigned to Frank Bartholet of
the Yakima National bank. Mr.. Stin-
son, through his agent, G. James, main
tanned that the account was in excess of
the contract and refused to pay the full
amount of the claim. All negotiations
for settlement finally failed and the ia
head OF horses attached were bid in by
Geo. W. Fogg, OF Tacoma, for $500 or
$3.50 head. There were IL other
horses belonging to the band, which es-
capped attachment, and these were also
sold to Mr.. Fogg by Mr.. James. The
only competing bidder was Attorney
Snively, who repr resented Mr.. Bartholet.
1t is whispered that Mr.. Fogg also repre-
sents Mr.. Stinson and that the horses
are, in fact, still the property of the &C.
centric Chicago millionaire, against
whom C deficiency judgment of over
$1,000 will stand, but as he has no other
property in this state and costly suit
for recovery would have to be Instituted
in Illinois to make him lquidate, and
the probabilities are that he will
escape from farther payment. The
horses are to be taken west and as Mr..
James left on Wednesday for California it
will be no matter of surprise to learn that
the horses will have also found their way
to the Golden State, from which they
were brought to Washington.
The Spokesman Review gives an &C.
count of one of the greatest games of faro
that has probably taken place on the
Pacific coast for many years. 1t occurred
in the Occur d Alene club rooms, on
Wednesday night OF last week, and it is
estimated that over 100000 changed
hands back and forth in the long sitting
which lasted from O'Clock p. m. until
II the next morning. The high rollers
were s. S. Bailey and X. f.. Brown, two
mining men of wealth, and the dealer
was the well known Jacob Goetz, or
Dutch Jake" There was no limit to
the game and occasionally rs high as
$4,000 was wagered on q single turn. The
mining men were heavy losers at first
but when the game closed they were
10000 ahead. The news OF the big play
spread rapidly through the town and all
the sports who could get into the big
gambling hall were present. Twenty
dollar chips were the smallest money on
the table and the "rubber-necks" never
had such feast before.
The senate has passed a forestry re.
serve amendment to the sundry civil bill
authorizing and empowering the presi-
dent to revoke, modify or suspend execu-
tive orders or proclsmatons designating
forest reserves as he shall deem best for
the public interest, until the surveys OF
such reservations are completed. The
rights OF any actual settler or claimant
now residing upon the lands embraced
in such reservations are not to be dis
turbed. The amendment further appro-
PIRATES $l50,0O0 for surveying these
reserves and establishes general plan
OF administration for the sale of dead
timber. protection against fires, etc.
Land Commissioner Hermann has in
structed the U. s. Attorney of Oregon to
take no action at present against shee p.
men who are using the Cascade reserve
for grazing.

This booklet is replete with halitone H.
Illustrations, while the frontispiece is an
ideal Washington road scene in colors.
There are over 100 pages OF matter de-
scriptive OF the scenery, productions and
industries along the line of the Northern
Pacific, and so charmingy written that
it is worth an honored position in any
library. Mr.. Fee will send the booklet
to any address upon the receipt OF six
cents in stamps, but how this can be done
without making ten per cent reduction
in the wages Of the roads employees is
one OF the latest and most insolyable
conundrums.
