CHICKENS AND HOGS
The Cause Of Litigation in the
Courts--Two Damage
Cases on Trial,

The court house Friday resembles to
some extent a barnyard. In court
room No. 1 there is chicken case up
for hearing, while In No. 2 there is a
hog case on trial, and the clatter about
stolen chickens and killed hogs is about
all that one can hear in either room
or about the corridors.
The history of the chicken case is
about this Mrs. Fannie Lyons had
Fernando I,outzenheiser arrested on
the charge of slander. She claimed
that he had been telling around that
she stole. some little chickens that be-
longed to him. She stated that Fer.
nando and other members of the Loutz-
enheiser family would yell "Peepie.
peepie. people" and "Chicky, chicky,"
at her when she was on the street.
After the arrest, she concluded to drop
the case, and did so. Young Loutzen-
heiser then brought action againstMrs
Lyons for false arrest and asks ST, 900
damages. The testimony Is rather
amusing to the spectators. j. w. Bur.
ris represents the plaintiff and Turene
Meyer the defendant.
10 THE HOG CASE.
James J. Lutz and u. G.. Shelter live
on adjoining farms. They each had
chester white hogs. It is alleged that
Shelters hog broke out of its pen and
meandered over to the sty of the Lutz
'hogd The one was big and strong with
trsks as long as plumbers bill. The
other was young and tender, but game.
The hogs got into a fight. No wit
nesses were present. but when Lutz
came around he found that his hog had
been ground into sausage meat by his
neighbor's hog. He claims to have
tracked the victor home, where he was
found covered with scars and gore as
a result of the encounter. Lutz de.
manded that Shelter pay Inn for his
pedigreed hog. Shelter denied that his
hog had done the killing and is attempt.

THE POEM.

stood upon the oceans sandy beach,
And with a reed wrote upon the sand these
words
agnes, I love thee"
But the winds came and the waves rolled
mountain high,
And blotted out the fair impression.
Cruel waves, treacherous sand, fragile reed;
No longer will trust to thee;
But from the highest mountain peak I'll pluck
the tallest pine.
And, dipped in the crater of vesuvius, with it
will write
Upon the high and FURNISHED heavens these
words:
"A Wise Woman" is drawing the largest audi
ences ever known.
And giving an entertainment that will take
your breath away"
And l would like to see any dogg gone wave
wash that out.

DOINGS OF COUNCIL.
A Levy Of - Mills Made On q Valuation OF
S1,214.3t4.

Si,2i4.3i4.
The most important matter before the
city council at its regular meeting Mon
day night was establishing a tax levy
and arranging for a betterment of fire
system.
In the absence Of Mayor Fechter
Councilman Walter Reed filled the chair
and brought up the assessment and levy
as the first matter of business. City
Clerk Doust read statement of the
financial condition OF the city. Sewer
bond Indebtedness is 100000 and the
funding indebtedness is $50, 200, making
total of 500, 600 for the city. The bal
ance OF warrants drawn on the current
expense fund yet uncalled amount to
$3,S40.40, and the indebtedness of the
city was $30,3 to Oct. ], 1901 as against
$22, 1858 for the previous years, an in
crease Of $7,56S.72. This increase was
met by fines, licenses, etc., though
reduction of three mills had been made
last year. The city expended $1,000 on
account of smallpox. Besides this a
stone crusher was purchased and a
greater number Of improvements made
than ever before in one year. Consider
ing that the levy was lower this shows
a remarkably good financial standing
for the year. The total valuation of all
property in the city is 81 ,2l4,314. After
discussing the matter some time the
council established levy of 10 mills.
divided as follows: for sewer bond and
interest, 2 mills; for bond indebtedness,
mill; for current expense fund, 8 mills.
Heretofore mills were levied for sewer
bond and interest, but owing to this
fund accommodating faster than need be
the 3 mills were stricken off and added
to the current expense fund. The whole
council was unanimous in raising the
mills, for the reason they hold that
great many Improvements are necessary
and must be done the coming year.
Thirteen mills is the limit, but it is only
mills higher than last year. AS the
county has levied 81 mills this will
make total of 10 mills for the people
living in North Yakima.
A petition was presented by George
T. Blair asking that he be appointed
regular policeman. The matter was re-
ferred to the police committee.
A resolution was passed declaring in
tention to grade Mckee avenue. This
matter has been up before the council
since early last summer and the propo-
sition has been delayed from time to
time. The property owners of that
street want it graded but they could
never agree on certain things. Their
petition was that if the work can not be
done in the fall they do not want it done
at all. Lawyer Whitson was present
representing several property owners
and asked that the matter be DELAYED
another two week, but the body took no
account of protests and made an order to
advertise for bids.
The ordinance against tying horses on
Yakima avenue within the macadam
district was voted on, but it was lost by
a narrow majority.
Bids for paving Front and First streets
were opened and contracts let for same.
For Front street f. c. Burlingame &
Co., bid was $4,000 and McKivor's
$4,6+0; for First street, Burlingame,
$3.50, McKivor, $3,575.S1. These fig

ures are considerably lower than the
bids made two weeks ago for the same
job. As Burlingame's combined bids
were the lowest he got the contract and
was given till February lst to fulfill it.
He will commence work at once on the
improvements.
The matter OF accepting or rejecting
the new hydrants was brought up and
discussed at length. 1t seems that the
hydrants are not what the city ordered
and will not do the work required. They
were rejected.
Councilman Weed made a motion,
which was passed, that all the people
living on the line OF a sewer be made to
remove their water closets within the
next 60 days. This action is step to-
ward a better sanitary condition of the
city. If water closets are to be used
within the points designated connections
must be made at once with the sewer,
and of course this means that city water
must be also used.
A warrant for $lS0225 was ordered
drawn for the semi-annual interest on
the sewer bond. DR.. P. Frank, health
officer, was present and made complaint
to the council that the city scavenger
was not performing his duty. He sug-
gested that new scavenger be appoint
ed or the old one be compelled to do
10 nv, fhn
officer.
The last matter before council was that
of improving the fire system of the city.
Aswas stated last week a team of horses.
aIhose wagon and some other parapherna-
liza were recommended by council and the
fire department. Fire Chief C. NJ Hau-
ser had corresponded with several par
ties about the new articles and had let
tiers of reply. 1t was decided to not do
anything till council had met repre-
sentative OF one Of these firms, who
would be here this week. In connection
with the things under discussion the
flushing of the hydrants come up. City
Engineer Marble had been directed to
flush the hydrants and make a report
He said the water company refused to
permit him to do this. On motion OF
Donald it was decided to not pay the
water company till all the hydrants
were flushed. In this connection it was
also reported that only about one-third
OF the electric lights are kept burning.
The city pays for the lights and an in
vestigation into this will be made.
Councilman Hall then introduced
a scheme to put in a cheap fire alarm
system. He said good serviceabe
system can be put in at a cost OF from
5000 to $3.50. The matter was referred
to the fire committee. Councilman AL
len then made motion, which was
carried that team to cost not more than
$500 be purchased. This matter was
turned over to the fire committee and
the fire chief. An order was made that
all the rooms in the city hall be vacated
by the present occupants for the use OF
the fire department.

A very ignorant and wealthy woman
who was fond of talking about her "art
gallery" one day met at the house OF
an acquaintance a lady who had not
called on her, although they lived in
the same town.
"Come and see me, do" said Mrs. B.,
the patron Of art, as the other lady was
taking her leave.
"Thank you very much" was the
noncommittal reply.
"We've got a new picture too. That
ought to tempt you to come, if can't"
II should be very glad indeed to see
it."

Under the law silver dollar may be
a grain and a half over weight or a
grain and half under weight, and this
limit of tolerance" applies to all of our
silver coins. In other words, they are
not allowed to vary more than that
much from standard. In the case of
goldpieces, the limit is half grain
either way up to the eagle, variation
of as much as one grain being permissi-
BILE In the $40 and $50 pieces.
Whenever fresh batch of dollars is
turned out at the mint, samples are
forwarded to the treasury at Washing
ton, where they are put through very
curious process. Each dollar is first
weighed on exquisitely delicate scales
to make sure that it is heavy enough
and yet not too heavy. Then 1t is pass
ed between two steel rollers again and
again until it Is fattened out and
transformed into thin strip Of silver
a sort of ribbon-a foot and a half in
length. Then it is put beneath little
machine provided with several small
punches, by which hundreds of tiny
disks are punched out Of the metal
strip.
Now, the object of this performance
is to obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar, inasmuch as 1t Is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer in silver than another. The little
disks are shuffled together, and a few
of them. taken at random from the lot,
are subjected to an assay. Thus the
fineness of the material of the dollar is
ascertained with absolute accuracy
and, the weight having been already
determined, the value and correctness
of that coin are perfectly known.
The sample pieces having been found
correct, it is inferred that the entire
batch of dollatJ is all Enthusiastically
Evening Post.
