happening so close after three other

pears certain that there is reason for
the people of the county to be on the
lookout on account of the danger
which threatens them.

Charlotte, Special.-The case
against Della Dellingham, Henry Gil

named a woman, charged with the
brutal murder of the Lyerly family
at Barber Junction last July, was
called in Iredell superior court at

at a standstill before the trial had

OF whites lynched the other three ne
groes implicated in this crime at
Salisbury last summer all the evil

persisted. There was on evidence
against the survivors of the mob's
vengence other than that the Delling-

the mOb's victims and Gillispie the
brother of another. Judge Moore
ordered the witnesses discharged and
ordered the jury to bring in a YER

Stated That Alleged Sensation Is !,
Fabrication.

In spite of the fact that the even
ing paper has asserted that it has
been necessary to take about six boys
from the track team, the local high
school will send its full representa-
ton to the interscholastic track meet
and declamatory contest at Walla
Walla May 2 and 8.
Everything was smooth, presum-
ably, in high school athletics when
the evening paper came last night
like a clap of thunder upon the all
but peaceful school with the state
ment that six members of the high
school track team had been disquali-
fed on account of deficiency in their
studies. The school also learned that
it was embarrassed on account of the
fact.
Prof. Bever of the high school
stated last evening that the first in
timation he had of the alleged dis
qualification was when he read it in
the evening paper. The fact Of the
matter, as given to the Herald by
Prof. Bever is that one of the track
men had been back in one of his
studies, but that this had been
cleared up and he would represent
the school as was originally intended.
The only changes that have been
made is in the events in which the
school will enter, which is believed
will be for the good of the institution.
Possibly no entry will be made in the
short dashes. Eight track men, one
orator and a member of the faculty
will represent the school. Those who
will go, as given out by Prof. Bever
last night, are Virgin McWhorter,
Irwin Smiley. Ben Bessesson, John
Motley, Ralph Darling, Lloyd Culbert-
son, Noel Thompson and Edward
Remy. Dolph Barnett will go as
orator and Prof Townsan.

HOW sOONo

1t appears to me as though there
will be no paving this year. said a
Hell-known citizen OF North Yakima
Monday There certainly seems
room for haste if it is planned TO
carry proposition of this kind
through. Paving work takes time,
and SO far a good deal of that valu-
able stuff has been worn away by
arguments, and still no paving work
IS done. The mayor has been more
than assiduous in his efforts to have
something done. and is now particu-
larly discouraged. as to all intents
and purposes his efforts for quick
moves have proven vain. There is
40 city engineer at the present time,
and if Engineer Chase's plans are
carried out, there must be a new
grade established in certain portions
of the city. Section 4 of Ordinance
No. $50 expressly states that "The
city engineer shall have charge oil

improvement is ordered by the coun.
oil, he shall survey lay out, estab

prepare plans and specifications fol
such work, and Improvements undel

Work of moving the big drill from
the properties of the Rose Land
company in the Mckee to North Yaki-
ma has started, and by the first OF
next week work of drilling for ar
tesian wells will begin on Mob Hill,
marking the Inauguration of a pro.
ject to establish an extensive com.
peting water system in North Yakima
to fulfill the terms of the franchise
granted several months ago to the
Rose Land company by the city
council.
Dismantle Drill.
The drill must be dismantled and
brought over the river by way Of
the old Yakima City bridge. The
members Of the firm have been watt
ing for several weeks to make this
move. but have been afraid Of taking
the big machine across the ferry.
The announcement Of the proposed
starting of the big project was made
Friday by member of the Rose
Land company who has charge Of
the work.
The franchise granted to the con.
Germ covers the entire city, includ.
ing alleys and streets, ani members
of the firm are reasonably certain
that the big proposition will be
placed under way.
Water Seems Certain.
1t is stated that there is certainty
of a big flow of water being discov.
cred on Mob Hill, sufficient to furn.
ish water to the city. 1t is said that
the water discovered in the flowing
geysers of the Mckee is of the purest.
and that similar water can be dis
covered near the city. A we'll is
flowing at the present time a few
miles away from the city and in the
vicinity of Mob Hill, which is furn-
ishing an excellent stream Of pure
water, and it is believed even better
gushers than that may be found.
Phil Eyer will probably be placed
in charge Of the immense drill which
is being brought to this city, and at
tempts made to locate water at the
earliest possible time.
