81, of near Cromwell. All but the first
named died suddenly, and tho in poor
health for some months, it was not
thought to be serious with any of them
until a few minutes before their death.
Some of them had been residents of the
county for the past twenty-siX years
and all had host of friends.
Two railroad men of this place We're
hurt yesterday while in the perform
ance of their duties but neither are
necessarily seriously injured Earl

freight house had his arm broken by q
barrel OF merchandise falling on him
and j. FL. Lichty, a brakeman. had the
bones of his right hand fractured while
tagging a train. He was standing too
close to the track and when the en-
CINE came along the cab caught his
hand and broke the bones of it.
Union county has again come to the
front with something in the animal
line that has never before been heard
of. This time it is a pig owned by
George Cunningham near Alton. The
pig Is one of Il hitter of common pigs
raised by him but differs from the rest
of the drove in that it has ten toes
where most pigs have but eight. 1t
has three toes on each of its hind feet.
Mr.. Cunningham wishes to sell the pig
ordinary hog on account OF its extra
toes.
one of the warmest city elections in
this part of the state and one that is
causing much comment and speculation
as to the probable outcome is that to
be held In Thayer next Monday. The
town is situated just east of here and
tho there are less than three hundred
of the town they have four
city tickets in the field and all are
making thorough canvass of the town
to win. The tickets are
prohibition, farmers grange,
and socialist labor and all are full
tickets.
The printers union and their em-
ployers are having a hard time to agree
upon a wage scale and a strike may
result. Sometime ago the printers pre-
sented Il petition to the employers ask
ing for certain advances in wages and
a nine hour day, and most of the en-
ployers Were ready to sign it, but az
organizer met with the printers and
revised the scale until it meant GO
per cent advance and the making of
union shops out of all the offices and
now there is some hesitation on the
part of the employers to sign and none
Of them have yet done so. What the
outcome will be Is not yet certain as
both sides seem determined.

Catch Him, He's a R0bber!"

These words suddenly rang out on the
quietude(?) of Yakima avenue Saturday
afternoon about o'clock when Fred
Mailloux gave chase to a man answer
ing the name of Chas. Connell, who had
entered his store, picked up pair Of
pants and walked boldly out of the front
door. Mr.. Mailloux bareheaded, gave
chase and came upon the fellow, who
"showed considerable fight" so Fred
said, but suddenly turned on his heel
in flight. "There he goes, catch him
catch him he's a robber!" yelled the
now breathless storekeeper. A number
of men seeing the race, and noticing
how firmly the man in front held on to
bundle under his arm-not unlike a
football player who had gotten through
the line-attempted to stop the fugitive.
He lodged, went through the left tackle,
bowled over the quarterback and APP
parently had clear field. BY this time,
however, large crowd being attracted,
the man was soon caught and lodged in
the city tail. Monday morning he was
fined $50 and costs by Justice Taggard,
which means few months in jail.

The OLD COUNCIL AND
MAYOR FIGHTER PASS OUT.
Short and Appropriate Speeches BY
Retiring Mayor, Councilman
Reed and DR.. Frank.

The city council of 1902 held its last
session Monday evening. The principal
feature of the night, the one that held
the attention of large crowd of spec
tators, was the adieus of the retiring
officers from their duties in behalf of the
city.
The business Of the council having
been finished, Mayor Fechter called for
an expression from any of the retiring
officers, whereupon w. J Reed, in a
short but fitting address, babe his fellow
workers all but fearful farewell. He
said his relations with the city magis-
trate had been extremely harmonious,
and felt that they had all given the
city's business the strictest attention.
DR.. Frank, the retiring health officer,
who was defeated by only three votes,
however, thanked the council for the
confidence reposed in him during this
last year. His recommendation had
always been acted upon promptly, and
this made his eighth year as health
officer for North Yakima.
Mayor Fechter was then called upon.
He said in substance: "In Mr. Reed $
case he retires from the council both
voluntarily and gracefully, while I re-
tire gracefully it is not voluntarily.
(Laughter) l feel very grateful to the
whole council and my relations to the
whole council have been the pleasantest"
Mr.. Reed made motion thanking
Mayor Fechter for the efficient service
he has rendered the city during his past
administrations, which was unani-
mously adopted.
