MANNED BY
ELECTRICITY
Rodney White of Toppenish
Loses Right Arm Through
Injury on Sunday.
VOLTAGE GOES THROUGH
BODY AND BURNS FLESH
Was Working With Electric Motor
When He Formed Circuit That
Seriously Injured Him and
Nearly Cost Him His Life.

TOPPENISH, Wash, Jan. a.
Rodney White. leading saloon keep
er of this city, was manned for life
Sunday afternoon when he accident
ally short circulted a heavy voltage
of electricity through his body, the
flesh being burned from his right
hand and arm and his left arm being
burned seriously before he could free
himself. The voltage was heavy
enought to have killed him, but while
he felt the shock through his system
he escaped without injury excepting
to arms.
White was working on an electric
motor in the basement of his building,
being alone at the time of the acct
dent. Exactly how he caused the
short circuit, he does not rem ember.
The flesh on his right hand, to his
wrist, was burned off to the bone,
while one wire across his left arm
burned deeply into the flesh.
After releasing himself from the
wires, he walked to the hospital, a
considerable distance from the saloon,
and called for surgical aid. Drs. Tes-
sell & Johnson amputated the arm,
half way between the wrist and ell
bow, and dressed the other wound
He is out of danger.

and promoter, has given renewed
hope to the friends and counsel of
Charles w. Morse, banker, now serv-

prison at Atlanta, Ga.
Martin w. Littleton, Morse's law

cision can be said to apply equally to
the case Of Morse and If he could es-
tablsh similar facts he would move
that no valid indictment was filed
against his client. Heinze was in
dicted October IL, 1909, for violation
of the national banking laws.
In quashing the indictment Judge
Hough said: THE common law is
that grand jury while celebrating

testimony and to no one else. except

COPHERS ENJOY
ANNUAL BANQUET
Full Representation From Minne-

Feast of Eats and Wit.

The sixth annual banquet of Mime
sotoans spread in the dining-room of
the First Christian church eclipsed
any former festivity of the "Gophers'
of the Yakima valley. After a So
cial hour the Gophers rested from
and visiting and enjoyed
splendid musical and literary pro-
gram rendered by some of the SPLEEN
did talent of their own society.
Professor Sharpe was a favorite
appearing in both musical and literary
number. Mr.. Miller, a new arrival
especially pleased his new-found
friends by his contribution to their
pleasure Musical numbers by Miss
Myrtle Wallace and Miss Lou j.
Briggs were greatly enjoyed. The
repast served by the ladies of the
First Christian church was one to ap-
peal to the most exacting and 1t was
here that every Gopher did his whole
duty
The good humor of POSTMASTER
James Edmunds inspired excellent
responses to the many toasts but
Geo. L'Bissionere easily carried off
the honors, responding to the toast
"Gophers at Home" His reminis.
cences of pioneering in Minnesota
glittered with keen humor and awak
ened memories of privations and
pleasures strangely intermingled
His grave assurance that his nose had
been forst- bitten so often that 1t be-
came permanently enlarged by the
frequent swelling was almost believ-
ed.
J. J. Perry of the Selah was warm
ly applauded when he defended Min
nesota as state to be proud of as
well as state to be proud of having
left. H. e. Perrin and w. A. Funk
of Sunnyside responded eloquently to
the toasts, "Gophers in Politics" and

the choice of Claud Briggs. president;

Work OF II. M. Gilbert at Toppenish

Wallace W. Miller. marriage license
clerk In the office of the county au-
ditor, was not at all pleased with the
Herald's announcement Saturday to
the effect that H. M. Gilbert has I'M
dertaken to issue marriage licenses
at Toppenish. The fact of the matter
Is that Mr.. Miller is the only deputy
cupid has in this county and he does
not propose to share his interesting
duties with any other. He is willing
that Mr.. Gilbert shall help If he con-
fines himself to red men and women
and an occasional white or colored
couple but he must not go too far.
Mr.. Gilbert may take the aff1davits
necessary under the law before a
marriage license is issued, as may any
notary, but Mr.. Miller as the one and
only authorized deputy reserves TO
the office of the county auditor the
right of issuance of the licenses.

Irish the Herald has not learned, but
it is understood that he will advocate

More Capacity is Needed.
Greater warehouse capacity and
preparations for the improved ship
ping facilities are an essential to the
union. 1t is an admitted fact that
the fruit crop this season will be
greatly in excess of that ever before
handled here, and that done in the
past has about been up to the limits
of the present facilities. To protect
the interests OF its stockholders and
patrons the union must increase. The
question Of cold storage has been con-
sidered, but it is probable that the
company will not have its own plant
at this time. Such a plant. however
is a logical growth and will of ne
cessity come in the future II not al

SELAH BOY KILLS
LYNX NEAR RIVER
Fifteen Year-O Old Lad Makes Good
Wages Out of His Morning
Activity With a Gun.

Carroll Clevinger is a Is year old
boy of the Selah who did a profitable
days business Saturday. He shot a
lynx in the timber growth along the
Yakima river a mile or so from his
home. He procured a bounty of s.
from the county and expected to get
something like $40 for the pelt, which
was an excellent one. The lad and
another little fellow were wandering
about in the trees and saw the big
cat in a tree. It's eyes looked to be
very large but the boys stood their
ground and let it have both barrels
and at that did not do much damage
to the pelt though they killed the
lynx. Clevinger shouldered his
trophy and started for home where
he arrived evry tired but triumphant.
His grandfather skinned the animal
and the lad drove to town to cash in
on his mornings work While Wild
cast are not an infrequent find in
this part Of the county the lynx with
its tufted ears is more rare and hence
the greater value of its pelt.

COUNCILMAN SMITH
VICTIM OF SHARPER
Ex-Sherif Grant Puts Zone
Across on Alderman From
the Third"

Councilman Nelson Smith has the
reputation of being able to drive a
very sharp bargain. In fact, he has
the napae of being so careful that at
times His conservatism borders almost
on demonstration. But there are
OCCASIONS when even the most wary
Sfe victimized and Councilman Smith
got "his' Monday morning.
1t appears that 100 young men of
this city have formed a suit club
agreeing to pay a certain amount each
week toward a $40 suit. To stimu-
late interest one suit was to be given
away free to the holder of lucky
number when the full membership
of the club had been secured.
On Saturday afternoon the roster
showed that only one more name was
required and such well known young
men as Frank Sinclair, Alfred Sim
clair and Cody Cox by the use OF
their most persuasive eloquence start
ed in to secure Councilman Smiths
consent to join hands with them in
their club. 1t proved Herculean
task but they finally brushed away
Smiths last excuse and by redoubled
efforts they finally extracted the dol
lar membership fee and gave Smith
his number
Smith Wins Free Suit.
That night the drawing was held
and who should win the free suit but

Smith Saturday night but on Monday

to part with his membership in the

he had been away for several weeks
that he was in need of a suit OF
Clothes and that he would like to gel
in on this clubbing scheme but that
no one would sell him a ticket.
Smith said that he was willing tC
part with his t.tket, but added char
acteristicplly Under such conditions
believe it's customary to give fell

finally agreed on so, Grant paying the
money over and taking Smiths mem

minutes later Smith learned that he
was winner of Saturday nights draw.

Sheriff Grant ever since.

CONTRACT WILL BE LET
IN TWO DISTINCT PARTS
Drain to Be Constructed of Con-
crete and Will Extend From
D Street to N. p. Culvert at
South City Boundary.

MEMBERS OF the council, Mayor
Armbruster, City Engineer Harold
j. Doolittle and City Attorney Frank
j. Allen already have plans outlined
upon which definite action NAV be
taken at the next meeting of the
council looking toward the BUILDING
OF the west side drain. 1t is planned
to get the work under way immedi-
ately so that building operations may
not be handicapped this season as
they were in 1909. Ultimately the
drain will be 1000 feet in length.
starting at the south line of d street
on Sixth avenue north and ending
at the N. P. culvert in the vicinity of
the gas works at the south limits of
the city.
When the council meets ten DAVIS
hence an ordinance will be passed
and also a resolution placing the in
itial steps Of the drain in the hands
OF a committee with power to act. an
exact outline of the method of o, o.
ceedure having already been arrived
at by the members of the council The
contract will be let in two parts so
that all of the local contracting firms
may have an opportunity to utilize
their resources in the building of the
drain.
Two Contracts Let.
1t is planned to expend $4,000 on
rthe first half Of the contract and it
is believed that at least 200 feet can
be built for this money. This will
carry the drain to the main trunk
sewer on West Yakima avenue. City
Engineer Doolittle says that even
though high water is encountered,
the drain will be handled in such a
way as to permit the contractors to
keep on working regardless. The
drain will be built from concrete
forms of the old fashioned horse shoe
tile type, the forms being in two
pieces and the bottom left open.
These forms have been found by
drainage experts to be the most sat
isfactory that have yet been used
in this country and permit the water
to enter the drain from underneath
and at the joint The drain will be
laid three feet deeper than the main
eliminate all fear of high water in
the Easements in the future.
Some discussion has been occasioned
relative to the fund from which this
new drain shall be built 1t has been
the plan of Mayor Armbruster to con-
struct it from the current expense
fund but in an interview with the
mayor a few days ago, Councilman
Culver of the second ward pointed
out to the mayor that the city would
save $1,000 a year by constructing it
from funds raised by sewer bonds, es-
pecially permitted by statute, the
same fund from which the water
plant purchase money was to come
had the deal gone through The diff
ference is that current warrants bear
eight per cent interest while sewer
bonds carry only four per cent. A
special bond may be prepared there
fore in order that the city may take
advantage of this saving in interest.
