SHEEP MEN MEET.
Decide to Prosecute John Little Of Oregon for
Violating Quarantine Law.

The Washington Wool Growers assoc
citation met here last Saturday especially
to consider the case of John Little OF
Oregon, who violated the quarantine
law by shipping infected sheep into this
county.
The matter was taken up and dis
cussed in its various phases. 1t was de-
cided to bring the case before Prosecut-
ing ATTORNEY Guthrie and assist that
official in prosecuting Little to the full
extent of the law. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Little brought scab affected sheep
into the county in violation of an order
of the sheep inspector. A committee
was appointed to assist the prosecuting
attorney in his work and the matter
was attended to at once.
Pursuant to the above decision of the
association, an information was made
out against John Little and James
Wright before Justice J. G. MacCrim-
mon. Mr.. Wright is sheepman of this
county who received the scab-affected
sheep from Mr. Little and he was made
an accessory to the crime. The hearing
was set for Tuesday forenoon, at which
time both defendants appeared and
waived hearing for trial at the next
term of superior court. They were
held each in $500 bail.
The following resolution was unani-
mously passed by the association
Resolved: BY The Washington Wool
Growers. association in regular meeting
assembled at North Yakima, Wash, on
the Goth day of October, 1901; that the
association takes this opportunity OF
publicly acknowledging its high appre-
citation of the wise, judicious and equit-
able management OF the stock ranges of
the Mount Rainier forest reserve the
past season by Superintendent d. B.
Shelter OF Tacoma and Supervisor Ralph
X. Nichols of North Yakima, Wash.
and be it further
Resolved; That this association, its
officers and members pledge to above
named reserve officials their hearty CO.
operation in maintaining the rules and
regulations of the department for the
conduct of said reserve and stock-ranges,
and also their undivided support in the
prosecution OF all trespassers upon the
Rainier reserve and all violators of the
rules made for its better protection.

Union Ditch Work Finished.

Orlando Beck has completed the work
on the new dam at the headgate of the
Union ditch. He put in structure that
he thinks will last for several years, be-
ing made of brush and basalt rock laid
we'll in the bottom of the river. This
piece of work was done preliminary to
improvements that will be made in the
Union ditch next spring. The ditch will
be repaired in many ways next year and
put in better shape than it has ever been
before. 1t will be cleaned out through
out its course and number OF new lat.
erals will be made. The bitches in the
city will be made larger SO the people
living in the south end can get the nee
essary water to keep their gardens and
lawns growing.

Secured His Watch.

Wallace B. Williams, secretary-treas-
urer OF the Yakima Milling Co., has OBJ

sion of it. He had written to the police
department of that city to look out fol
a certain described watch. He received
a reply that the watch was in a pawn
shop and he went over there last Friday
to get it.
At first the pawn broker refused to
give it up unless he paid $40 for it, the
sum, it is presumed realized on it by the
robbers. Mr.. Williams refused to divvy
and told the party that he would com
mence replevin proceedings to get it
This would cost him $1750 and if the
pawn broker would take that sum he
would be willing to drop matters. The
broker accepted the amount and turnet
over the watch. Mr.. Williams says the
robbers are known by the police in Seat

the top the rope, that had "pied'' on
the windlass, slipped and broke. He was
precipitated to the bottom. His left
shoulder was dislocated and he was in

as saw what happened he let the rope to

it about the injured man he came up to
the surface and then drew Mr.. Mains up.
Mr.. Mains is getting along very well,

Appeal Refused.

In the Scholes appeal hearing on Mon
day Judge Rudkin refused to admit the
prayer of the petitioners for a trial in
the superior court 1t will be remem-
bered that Mrs. Scholes had pre-.
liminary hearing before Justice j. A
Taggard on the charge OF shooting Alvin
Richmond. The justice dismissed the
case on the grounds that he did not
think the evidence sufficiently strong
for jury to convict. An appeal was
taken from this decision and Judge Rud-
kin dismissed the proceedings on prac-
tically the same grounds. He said, bow
ever, there were two ways for the ac-
cused to be brought into the superior
court for trial One was for a grand
jury to indict her and the other for the
prosecuting attorney 70 make out q new
information. If the first plan We're re-
sorted to a special grand jury woul6
have to be called, which is seldom done
in this state. County Attorney Guthrie
could make new information against
the accused, but he refuses to act for the
reason that he does not believe jury
could be secured to convict, so the mat
ter has been dropped.

Waterman Rowan Struck BY Train While on
! Duty In the Canyon.
| James Rowan, Waterman of the
Northern Pacific railway, while on duty
in Yakima canyon, was struck by an
engine last Friday night and narrowly
escaped instant death. He was riding
the railway velocipede through the cam

the second big bridge across the Yakima,
Is miles west OF this place, light en-
CINE also running west, overlook him,
struck the velocipede and hurled him 20
feet away.
1t is miraculous how he escaped death.
The engine came upon him without
warning. The noise OF the rapidly flow
ing river drowned the fast running en-
CINE and it wheeled around curve upon
him before he was aware of its approach.
With rare presence of mind that comes
when one is in imminent danger he
shifted his body to one side of the speed
er in an effort to overturn it but before he
could put into execution a plan OF escape
the engine struck and the next instant
he was flying through space. He alight-
ed where the earth was strewn with
boulders and all the injuries received
were the breaking of two ribs and sus-
tanning number OF bruises on the body.
He got up without help, borrowed the
engineers lantern and examined the
spot where he fell. The next day he
came to town and is going about as
usual. He is about 55 years old and
has been Waterman in the canyon for
nearly two years and has never before
had an accident.
