Deputy Sheriff Leach reports holdup
with interesting features that took place
near kehnewick last Wednesday night.
William Ikerd had been working for a
farmer in the Horse Heaven country,
and concluded to come to North Yakima
after receiving his pay Of $3.50. He
went to Pasco and boarded box car,
intending to beat his way to this place.
In the box car were two other men.
When the train had arrived about six
miles this side of Kennewick, one of the
men made light with match, while
the other pointed revolver at Ikerd,
telling him to give up his money. Ikerd
readily complied with the request and
relinquished his money. He was then
put off the moving train and left to him.

She Was Crazy.

A sad case of a demented wife and
mother came to the attention of the
police department last Wednesday. She
came to this place from Walla Walla
that day, having with her two small
children. She applied to the marshal
for protection, saying that she was being
followed by her husband who had offered
$4,000 to get her out OF the way. Mar
shall Grant took her to the Valley house
on Front street, expecting to keep her
there until her friends at Spokane could
be communicated with. But the woman
became very wild in her Authorizations,
and it was necessary to place her in the
woman's department of the city Jail.
That night she was taken to the Rainier
house, and a guard kept over her until
morning.
The woman gave her name as Mrs.
Burch, and her home as Spokane. E.
NJ. King, a brother, of Spokane, was
communicated with and came on last
Friday. He could do nothing with his
sister, and she was taken to Medical
Lake by Sheriff Tucker The two little
children were cared for by Mr.. King,
who took them to Spokane with him.

CITY GOVERNMENT AND VICE
Views of Seattle Chamber of Commerce Bears
Fruit-Applcatle Here.

A raid on the slot machines was made
in the city of Seattle last Thursday and
gambling has come under the ban of the
Chamber of Commerce of that place.
The raid is the result of the position
taken by the Chamber of Commerce
over the matter of gambling. The
members of the city council had decided
that gambling was essential to maintain
sufficient revenue to run the city gov
eminent, and they therefore decided to
permit gambling to be the wide open
policy. The Chamber of Commerce, by
resolution unanimously passed, con-
demned the council for its action. Mr..
Shamrock in presenting the resolution
said in part, which would apply to any
city in the country:
Admitting the course of the admins
tration to be correct, then we practically
admit the city to be impoverished with
out the financial aid of the gamblers.
The council seems to be imbued with
the city. That body evidently forgets
tlidt DllLS tCllNlS W VI IlllC dlltl llIdhCs
vice. 1t simply enriches the Golfers OF
the city by preying upon women and
children, because in the end it is the
women and children of Seattle who
suffer.
l simply state my firm convictions
when l voice my opinion that the city is
really benefitting at the expense of the
most debased portion of the community
in other words, is preying upon the low
and the debased in morals in order that
the Golfers OF the city treasury may be
enriched. The wonder is that any man
should so far forget the elements of
finance as to consider such proposition
in any sense sound.
Again, if the members of the city
council encourage the administration of
the city to violate the laws of the state,
encourage the mayor to violate his oath
of office, it is opening the doors very
wide for acts of maladministration. If
he can ignore the laws of the state and
ignore his oath of office upon the invita-
ton of the city council, l maintain that
something is taking place which we
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1902-05-13

should not allow to pass unnoticed.
There is no doubt that the people of the
city did condemn open gambling at the
last election and in the most emphatic
manner. The Chamber of Commerce is
the one body constantly in session rep
resenting the business interests of the
community and its general interests as
we'll. For this reason | think we should
take action.
