YAKIMA CITY SCRAP ENDS IN
SOME BAD CUTS.
CHEHALiS RED MAKES
LIVELY 0LDTOWN MIxUP
Claimed That Porter and Lapel
Joshed Hey With Bads Re
sults-No Arrests.

As a result of antagonizing Joe
Hey, an Indian, f. LAPEL, a Seattle
arm Sunday evening in Yakima City,
and A. Porter, young man living
in Yakima City, received a slight
cut on his leg. 1t is stated that the
boys met Joe LEY, Chehalis In
dian, on the street, and Hey being
drunk they started to fool with him
in joshing way. The Indian grew
angry, and it is stated he slapped one
of the boys, whereupon they both
started to fight witt him. The In
dian, believing that he would be
overpowered, drew his knife and at
tempted to lay botn the boys out.
The boys retreated and it was neces-
sary to take eleven stitches in the
cut on Lapell's arm. He left shortly
after for his home in Seattle.
Hey left soon after the trouble for
Chehalis and he has not been seen
since 1t is stated that on several
occasions the town boys have start
ed trouble with the Indian, although
he has always appeared friendly and
not looking for trouble. On one oc-
casion about a month ago Hey was
arrested after he received a severe
beating from one of the local men,
and was find $40 in police court, al
though the trouble was unavoidable
so far as he was concerned.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TO HELP
PAY FOR PAVING.
CITY BACKED BY COURTS
OPINION IN THIS MATTER
Will Mean Saving OF Large Chunk
of Money From Assessments
for Yakima Avenue.

A supreme court de ision of great
interest to North Yakima is one re-
Gently handed down in the case of
the Northern Pacific vs. Seattle, in
which it is held railroad companies
in this state are subject to local i'm
provement assessments.
The United States supreme court
has held that railroads are not sub
ject to these assessments, as it is
stated they do not derive any bene-
fits from the same.
In the Northern Pacific case in
connection with the city of Seattle
the controversy is relative to pave
ment ard parallels any case which
might arise here.
1t is stated that the Northern Pa
ciIic Railroad company here will be
assessed for the pavement, and City
Attorney Forsyth states there will
probably be no difficulty in collect
ing the assessment, as heretofore
the railroad company has always
been exceedingly fair in this matter
and has made no objection to pay
ing local Improvement assessments.
Under the present law the railroad
will be called upon to pay for the
pavement where it crosses the tracks
and for 120 feet on each side of its
right of way, thus cutting off large
slice Of expense to the city.
City Attorney Forsyth is getting
materials together for a wholesale
prosecution of deinquents who
failed to pay for local improvement
district assessments before he came
into office. He states he will start
suits in every instance and force
payment as soon as possible.

REDBIRD TAKES DOWN MONEY
FROM GRAY EAGLE.
ABOUT $4,000 CHANGES
HANDS ON BIG MATCH
Two Other Races Cause Considerable
Interest-People of Toppen-
ish Here i'm Numbers.

A race which has caused the most
excitement of any for a number of
years in this vicinity was of Redbird
against Gray Eagle at the state fair
track Sunday, when Redbird went
down a 40O-yard stretch running,
pulling down the money in 20 " Sec
onds. Redbird is Wallahee's horse,
a reservation Indian, and big
bunch of Toppenish money was COW
eering him. Gray Eagle is the prop
erty of Guy Shallady, proprietor of
the Toppenish hotel. The horse is
of Godendale
Probably no one race has aroused
as much interest among the people
of that section as was displayed
Sunday. Over 1910 people We're at
the track, a large number of the~
coming from below the gap.
Redbird seemed to be the favor
lite. Two starts were required in the
race, the first running being a false
start. Redbird was backed by Lou
Evans, with McEwen up. Lonny
Hoffman, at present a local jockey,
but with considerable experience in
various eastern cities, handled Gray
Eagle.
1t is estimated that fully $4,000
changed hands on this race. The
original stake was 5000. An inter-
esting fact in connection with the
event was the amount of Indian
money being put up, large bunch
of redskins backing Redbird for all
of their spare change, and occasion
ally with other peoples money.
Two other races furnished con-
siderable excitemec. for the remain
der of the afternoon, Markham's
chestnut was defeated by Ganos bay
filly in three-eighths of a mile run
for 500. Considerable money
changed hands on this race, North
Yakima people being interested in
the result.
William Splawns chestnut horse
won against Gilmore's chestnut pony
for $25, the race being for quar-
ter of a mile. Considerable money
was placed on these two clever
goers.

The Toppenish commercial CLUB

The plan of the commercial club
