Dear Editor:
If you will allow enough space in
your paper to copy this splendid
piece" from the Issue" as l really
think we have some of the animals in
our town, am sorry to say. On some
of our corners there are so many idle
men that a lady can't push her way
through to get in the stores to do her
shopping, much less to get a cool,
refreshing drink of soda or dish of
ice cream. They are not only harm
ing the women, but driving trade
away from those places Of business on
which corner they stand.

WOULD ENJOIN THE SHERIFF
North Yakima Brewing 4 Mailing
Go. Gets Restraining
Order.

Sheriff Lancaster was restrained
Thursday by Judge Preble from SELL
ing personal property of the North
Yakima Brewing & Mailing Co. for
the satisfaction Of judgment given
in the Adams county superior court
for $33S60 and costs of 81.
A hearing for a permanent injunc-
ton issue has been set for February
16, and in the meantime the sheriff
will not try to sell any of the goods
of the brewery, which the company
claims would, cripple the plant in it's
business.
The plaintiff company claims in the
petition for a restraining order that
the Adams county superior court real
ly had no jurisdiction in the suit that
resulted in the judgment, and the
question of jurisdiction will be the
problem for Judge Preble to solve
when the injunction hearing is called
on the calendar.

No Clue to Identity.

A search of the body where 1t was
found under the direction of the cor
oner revealed no clue of real value.
The name in the hat he wore showed
that it had been purchased of the
Clarke-Kirkman Co. of Walla Walla.
The only things of value found were
pearl handled knife, a patented
nail clipper, pair of rolled gold
cuff buttons and two-bit piece. No
letters or papers were found that
would furnish the slightest trace Of
his home or identity. If suicide he
had destroyed all traces of his iden-
tity: if murder it was we'll planned
to cover up traces and clues.
The murder and robbery theory
has been advanced. A crack in the
skull and blood clot over the right
temple and the fact that nothing OF
value was found on his person, lends
color to the contention. The pock-
cts of the coat and trousers were in
their natural position, and no \evi-
dences of a struggle were found. A
search near the body revealed moth
ing. No evidences of suicide we, e
found in the rough search made
Thursday evening, although further
Investigation may bring develop
ments. Another theory is that the
man died from heart disease while
sleeping.
