Judge and Mrs. H. f. Hadley cele
brated their silver wedding Saturday
night, at which letters from over fifty
OF those present at the rites performed
quarter OF century ago in Indiana
extended congratulations. Saturday

and also of his colleague on the Su-
preme bench, Judge Wallace Mount,
and the latter gentleman WAS guest
who participated in the celebration.

abled to be present.
Capt. Hatch OF Oakland, Cal, paid
our city a fleeing visit, Tuesday, visit
ing his many old-time friends. He ar
rived just at time which reminds
him of some Of his steamboat expert

wood, was in competition with some Of
the flyers on the Sound. He now
operates fleet of steamers, chief of
which is the fast and elegant General
Frisbie, which makes two sixty.mile
trips to Vallejo and Mare Island Navy
Yard every day in the year. The
Captain appears to be enjoying ex-
cellent health and is the same genial
gentleman be was when he was one OF
us.
NJ. o. Brautigan, in former years a
resident Of this city while engaged in
the grocery business with his father,
died at Tacoma, Monday night, of
paralysis. He was brother of l.. P.

of this city. He had four other broth
ers and two other sisters, in this
State and elsewhere. Born in Peoria,

member.
Some unknown individual hired a
rig from John Barnes, the liveryman,
last Friday, to visit Chambers Prairie
to get a COW, but it must be that the
bovine is in the mire for rig nor man
have yet been returned to their owner,
and he has the Sheriff and all his
deputies engaged in an effort to "lo.
cate" the travelling Jehu. The team
was found Tuesday in the stable of X.
G. Bennett, South Tacoma transfer
and fuel man. The outfit had been
sold to him for part cash and a mare.
The mare was sold in Tacoma for
$35 and a draft given, which had
been cashed by the bank, about an
hour before the officers appeared. 1t
was drawn in favor of F. II. Dewenish,
with name was endorsed on the
back OF the check.
The steamer Elwood ran on Point
Defiance, Monday night, during a
binding snow-storm and had to lie on
the beach till morning. She was
bound from this city for Tacoma and
had eleven passengers and crew of
seventeen aboard One of the pas
sengers Immediately made his way up
the beach to Tacoma and by midnight
the tugs Fairfield and Favorite arrived
at the point. The passengers had
been taken aboard the launch Fav-
orite, which had arrived before the
tugs and taken to Tacoma, while
the latter began pumping water from
the vessel in distress. When the
water was discharged from the hull
it rose sufficiently to build fires and
get up steam, under which she pro-
ceeded to port, and thence to the dry
dock at Ballard. The damages can
be repaired for about $500.
