Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1899-07-21

INTO log, SILVER broke OH the wedge
and struck in is flight one OF his
arms, decorating the flesh badly. Mr..
X. came to town to secure surgeon
aid in caring for the wound.
Ed Stevens is in receip, OF Yoka-
hama, Japan, paper, which gives an
account OF celebration, on the 4th
in that city, in which our former
townsman, now L. S. Consul, John F.
Convey, was the most prominent actor.
The L. s. Consulate, it says, was
crowded all day with visitors, among
whom were many OF his countrymen.
The Smart Aleck" who attributes
the authorship of the letter signed
"Observer," in last weeks STANDARD,
to the editor Of the paper, is very much
mistaken. 1t is bona fde letter,
suggested and written by a reputable
citizen, who is not even subscriber to
the paper. The Faber-shover OF this
moulder of public opinion has never
yet assumed the part OF masquerader
in any role he has performed in lfe's
drama.
County Attorney Funk has institut-
ed suit against the State for 5000
due for storage of State property in
the Courthouse at the stipulated
price of 800 per year. Although the
account has been twice presented to
the Legislature for allowance and au-
thority to draw the money. it has been
neglected and no appropriation made.
The Commissioners have finally con-
cluded to present the matter to the
lawmakers in the form of judgment
with interest and costs added.
4 la the George Washington cherry
tree and Ratchet yarn, Dewey's adj
mirers are already telling sweet little
stories about his boyhood doings.
One OF these epics recites how he
knocked down young school marin
when she attempted to punish him for
kissing the girl that went above him
in the old-fashioned spelling class;
and then he beautifully thrashed the
brother of that school marin who
swore lie would avcnge his sisters in
suit. How could such boy be any,
thing but military hero?
George ID. Evans, last SATURDAY.,
pleaded guilty of the charge of forging
OF State warrants, and was sentenced
by Judge Linn to five years at hard
labor in the penitentiary. Evans
stated in his plea that all the spurious
warrants were forged on March 9th,
1897. during the administration of the
present State Auditor, Neal Cheetham,
and it was the present State Treas
urer, c. W. Young, who paid some of
the duplicates of original warrants.
This plainly brought the responsible
ity for loss to the State down to the
present ad administration.
o. E. Stickler met with a severe &C.
cident while working in a camp at
Mud Bay, Tuesday morning. While
a team of eight horses was hauling
logs, the chain broke while there was
a heavy strain upon it and in its re-
coil struck Mr.. Stickler in the mouth,
knocking out a number of teeth and
badly mangling the flesh. Two OF the
horses Jared even worse. One was
killed aud another had his leg
broken and had to be relieved from
his sufferings by death. Mr.. Stickler
had his injury repaired so far as skill
and science can mend Natures work,
and is now in fair way of recovery
from his painful misfortune.
Daniel Livesley, of Tenino, fell from
his bicycle at the head of Main street,
Sunday evening, and broke three of
his ribs. 1t seems that he and deaf
and dumb friend came tn have a good
time, which they did by filling up
with stimulants, and when they start
ed for home their course was neither
straight nor narrow and the result was
a collision in which Mr.. L. suffered
the fracture noted. The deaf and
dumb man kept on his way apparently
oblivious of the injury to his compan-
ion, while the wounded man after a
time succeeded in attracting the at
tention of people living in the neigbor-
hood who cared for his injuries.
Last Saturday, while J. R. Endicott
was hunting bee-trees, near his home
at Delphi. he started up three bears,
and his dog freed one of them, cub.
Pretty soon the mother came back,
and changed the conditions of affairs
somewhat, for then Mr.. Endicott took
to a tree and the bear assumed the
position of sentinel at its base. By
vigorous yells Mr.. E. finally succeeded
in attracting the attention of his wife.
She ran over and notified a neighbor,
NJ. J. Neylon. who, with his gun sue
ceeded in killing two of the bears,
greatly to the relief Of the man who
was performing the part of Zacheus
for self-preservation.
Mr.. Harvey Scott, editor OF the Ore
0onian, arrived by the train Sunday,
en- route for Mason county, where he
spent several years of his early man.
