the costs of an appeal.
Miss Clara, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. 7. III. Phipps, of Kent, former
ly of this city, was married last
week to DR.. r. g. Haskell. rising
young dentist OF Kent. 1t seems to
have been an elopement, and the
ceremony was performed in Tacoml,
and the young people al once re-
turned home by auto and received
the parental blessing: All's well
that ends well.
Charles King. logger, was Tues
day sentenced to term Of 30 days
in the county Jail and costs of trial,
for theft Of valuable gold watch
from Joseph MCGOWAN. who had
taken the man to his own lodgings
to care for him while under the in
fluence of too much booze. The
watch was recovered from his per-
son. although he denied having it
and afterwards claimed that it was
his own.
The city has agreed to raise the
houses of Cora Madden and Peter
McFarlane ON East Sixth street near
Boundary in order to lessen the
depth of cut on the opposite side of
Sixth street. There is still sputter-
ing ON the part of some of the abut-
ting owners about improving Sixth
street on the eighty-feet basis in
stead of sixty feet, as first cOntemp-
lated by the city. The complaints
come too late.
Mrs. Elsie Warren was given q
verdict for $4,000 by the jury yes
terday, after a consideration of so
minutes, against her brother Will
lard kearney. The suit was the re-
suit of family quarrel, in which the
brothers of Mrs. W., Cyrus and Will
lard, were sued for defamation OF
character in asserting that improper
relations had existed between their
sister and her father. Another suit
of the same nature is pending
against the other brother.
Harry Williams was seen on our
streets, Tuesday. looking cheerful
and happy as ever. He owns
tract of land just south of Olympia.
For the past seven or eight months
he and family have been travelling
through Nevada, Montana, Idaho
and Eastern Washington. He re-
ported that the insurgency element
in the Republican ranks is strong in
all places that he has visited. and
thinks Poindexter will likely win at
the coming primaries in Washing
ton.
The Casco Company, of Olympia.
is q new corporation formed to do
almost any kind of business from the
handling of realty, the operation of
railroads and steamships, dealing in
stocks. bonds and distillation of oils,
pitches: ETC., and other products of
wood. Its capital stock is placed at
800, 900. and Willard Lemon and his
wife Belle, DR.. and Mrs. A. G.. Cook
of Long Beach. CAL. parents of Mrs.
Lemon, are the incorporators, who
will Immediately take over all their
holdings in this State and in Cali
fornia. which are many.
Robert G.. Taylor, a welLknown
logger, was killed Tuesday afternoon
at the Vance logging camp, near
Elma. He was engaged in saving
some fallen timber, when a log on
the hillside above him rolled down
upon him, striking his back before
he could jump aside. He was thrown
some distance and was dead when
reached by his companions. The
victim was a brother OF Miss Jeanet
Taylor, clerk in an uptown dry
goods store, who, with others, went
to Elma where the funeral rites were
held yesterday.
Sallie Weatherill's second suit
against Harry Weatherill's estate,
claiming that she was his legal heir
from having been his wife and had
helped him accumulate his valuable
IOyster Bay property, has come to
nought. The case on trial several
months ago in Judge Mitchell's
court was against her claim, and on
appeal to the higher court was re-
manded for q new trial, with instruc-
tions to admit certain rejected testi-
mony, as to the marriage OF the In
dian woman with decedant. The re-
suit was the same, the court holding
that the evidence was insufficient and
did not show that the parties ever
had been married.
The State has begun suit to re-
cover the amount stolen by Ortis
Hamilton, former Adjutant General,
which has now been figured down to
$37 ,687 AZ. 1t is evidently proper,
you know, to be exact in figures.
This shortage of the model prison
err" has been variously estimated by
those who should know to q cent OF the
amount due, and now after o mini
mum sentence on one count. the
aggregate has been reduced to about
0ne-half. of upwards of $50, 900 at one
time claimed. AS the suit is against
a surety company, and they have
been Omiuously.siient regarding max
ing good the shortage for over q year,
it looks as If they do not in tend to pay
unless compelled to do so.
Another exceedingly foolish act OF
the City Council is the proposition
by ordinance to prohibit the ped
ding of meat, vegetables, eggs or
any kind Of farm or dairy products,
in the main or business part OF town
without securing q license at the
prOhibitive rate of 800. 1t is to
apply to Main street between Third
and Seventh and Fourth street be-
tween Water and Jefferson. A heavy
penalty is provided for any viola.
tions. That body will hardly have
the tesnerity to pass such Q law.

should be added stating Just where
