THE FIRST BATTLE.
Missouri Claims 1t Took Place on Her Soil
kansas CITY Journal)

(AanSaS Clly JouiHdi'y
The histories tell that the first battle
of the war of secession was fought at
Bull Run. A Missouri writer undertakes
to proye that the histories mislead. He
contends that the first fighting was done
in Missouri, near Monroe City.
Claiborne Jackson, Governor OF MIS-
souri, was a Confederate, and was re-
solved to take this State out of the Union,
whether its people wanted to go or not
The great menace to his peace and plans,
as the writer referred to points out, was

which was owned by Boston capital and
operated mainly by Germans. jackson
determined to tear up the Yankee rail
road" John w. Brooks, its president,
appealed to President Lincoln for military
protection, and Lincoln ordered Col. K.
il. Smith to cross the Mississippi River
with the 18th Ill. and do guard duty along
the road. The strategic point for north
ern Missouri was a position between the
forks of the Salt River. Here Col. Tom
Harris camped with 600 rebels, who We're
spoiling for fight. Gen. Lyon ordered
Col. Smith to break up Harris's camp.
Smith started, but his movements were
impeded by protracted, soaking rains. AS
his soldiers were going through narrow
defile in the Swinkey hills they were fired
on from ambush. Fifty guerrillas then
scampered away. Smith was convinced
by this move that an attempt was being
made to trap him, and he decided to back
out. Soon a cloud of smoke that rose
from the direction of Monroe told him
something was doing there. The John
nies'' We're burning the $4,000 worth of
Federal stores and munitions Col. Smith
had left there without guard. The Fed
eral force hurried back to Monroe, where
it was followed by Harris and his force
and Confederate sympathizers, who hur-
ried to the scene Of the promised fight
from every direction. BY noon Wednes-
day, July o. 1861, 1000 rebels We're about
Monroe, all eager to help poke the game
out of the hole" They had a ne-pound
and a six-pound cannon, and Thursday
they began bombardment.
Never" says the Missouri writer, had
there been such Q jubilee ip that section.

These conditions then prevailing in
Sonora brought about the steady influx of
lahoring men and women. who, for the
sake of safety, Travelled with the trains of
wagons and OK carts coming into Arizona.
Now it happened that during the period
while Wooster was already housekeeping
upon our incipient ranch and was board
lug 'at large" az it were, there arrived a
small contingent of young Mexican women
with one of these wagon trains, which
stopped over night mt Tubac. Maj. Rich
ardson, being at the time without cook,
and hearing of the arrival of the young
women, called on me and requested my
services as interpreter in the hiring of
one of them to take charge of his simple
household. The wagons were encamped in
the town itself-in fact upon the large
open space lying between his store and
Wooster's property We had no difficulty
in procuring the desired help in the person
of a very pretty, lively, dark-eyed damsel,
who, supported by dthe testimony of her
companions and the teamsters, declared
herself able and Sriliing to perform the du-
years of age, unusually well spoken and
very graceful. The Major readily paid
the IS demanded by the wagOnmaster for
her transportation and board while with
the train. She placed her bundle contain
ing all her possessions upon her head and
walked WIFI us " the NldJoF 3 uWeillHS,

New Moving Apparatus.

w. w. Petijohn, the house mover, has
just had constructed at M. Schorn's
shops, set of housemoving trucks that
are wonderful to behold. There are two
monster wheels to each truck set upon
which is heavy timber. When a house
or building is to be moved it is lacked
up, truck run under each corner, the
structure lowered upon them, string
of teams attached, and the mass moved
without further ceremony TO the
desired place. Mr.. Pettijohn was unfor-
tunate in not having them completed
during fair week, as the manager of the
monster tree from Montesano, offered
him $500 to transport the tree from the
railway track to the grounds and re-
turn. However Mr.. Pettijohn says he
is now hooked up to move anything
barring the earth.

Apples for Giants.

Those Yakima apples on exhibition in
this city, which took the first prize at
the state fair, are well calculated to as
tonish the natives. Weighing a pound
and nine ounces each and being perfect
fruit in every other respect, they are
certainly unparalleled specimens of the
horticulturist's art. And at the st.
Louis fair next year the famous Yakima
valley will astonish the world with its
fruit exhibit, as this section Of the state
will make it wonder at the character
of its lumber. The fair will afford n
splendid opportunity for Washington
to let the rest of the country know what
matehless resources it possesses-Olym.

Yakima Prize Winners at Spokane.

Messrs. w. L. Wright and VIM. Lee
returned from the Spokane fair Thurs
day, and are in fine fettle over the cap
ture of the $3.50 prize offered for the
best fruit display. The fact that nine
other counties were there with their
best exhibits of fruit naturally adds to
the honor, and places Yakima as top
notcher in this line. The gentlemen re-
port that "A number of expert growers
from various sections took pains to ex-
press their appreciation of the display,
which was made up of % plates of var
ious varieties of fruits. DR.. n. G. Bla-
lock, the big fruit grower of Walla Wal
la. was particularly enthusiastic in ex-
pressing his opinion of the exhibit. which
he said was the finest he had ever seen.
even discounting the best on display at
the worlds fair at Chicago A large
part of the exhibit will be sent to the
st. Louis exposition, the remainder hav-
ing been disposed of to visitors at Spo-
kane
Messrs. Wright and Lee also captured
the second prize on their display of veg
etables, and Geo. Weikel secured the
first prize for the best display of anthri-
cite coal from the Cowlitz fields in the
Cascades west of this city, although in
competition with specimens from vari-
Gus other sections.
A. J. Splawn also was presented with
a number of blue ribbons on his fine
cattle, many of which he disposed of to
people in and near Spokane.
