Horse stealing as q fine art seems
to have reached an advanced stage in
this part of the country Wednesday
a horse was stolen in Kittitas county
and the thief caught Thursday. Thief
taking is also one of the arts that
fourishes in this neck o. the woods.
l.. r. Thomas, the sheriff of Kittitas
county, called up Wednesday and re-
ported a case of horse stealing, asking
Sheriff Grant to keep a lookout for the
man. AS reported by Sheriff Thomas
the man, who gave his name as Fred
Howard, took the horse from hitch
ing post to a livery stable, where he
had the animal fed. Later he went to
the stable and took the horse away.
BY this time the sheriff had been
notified and supposed the man had left
town. He started in pursuit and found
that he had got out of town ahead OF
the man he was after. While going
back, the man evaded him and was
lost track of. Sheriff Thomas then
notified the sheriff here and men were
placed on watch all night Wednesday
but nothing was seen of the thief. On
Thursday morning the sheriff Of Kit
titas county 'phoned here that he had
caught his man and he gave the name
as Fred Howard. 1t is probable tina,

account of the palm being put forward

n. P. HAS DECIDED
WON'T PAY LOSSES
WILL TEST QUESTION IN COURTS
Merchants VIII Resist Attempt to shift
Loss 10 shippers and Con-
signees Of Freight.

The Yakima Grocery company, va
kima Hardware company and a num-
Der of other firms and private indi-
who had goods in the Northern Pacific
freight house when that building was
destroyed by fire several months ago,
have been notified that the company
has decided to pay no losses to those
whose freight was destroyed. 1t is an
nounced that the company's legal de-
partment has considered the claims as
they We're presented, and as a whole,
and the law in connection Herewith,
and come to the conclusion that since
it was not responsible for the fire, or,
originate on the premises of the COM
pany, and was not due to the careless
ness or criminal act of any of it's en-
ployes, that the loss does not fall upon
the company, but on the shippers and
consignees.
While some have believed that the
road would pursue such a course, the
announcement of the decision was a
general surprise. Such a thing has
never before been heard of, and many
of the losers are of the opinion that
common law precepts, if not statutory
law, have been violated.
The only thing that the losing ship
pers have decided upon is that they
will endeavor to force the road to pay
the losses. They have not reached a
conclusion as to how they will do this,
but will decide the details at a meet
ing which will be called soon. probably
within a week. A test case will be
made, which will in effect decide all
the cases, and the responsibility of the
common carrier where property is lost
by fire in it's warehouse before the out
going freight has started on its jour-
ney, or before the freight received has
been claimed by the consignees, will
be fixed The technical questions in
volved are interesting, and the result
of the case will be awaited with in
terest.
