What Is Going on in Cities on
West Side of Hills.

Get busy, boost the census writes
John Sandmeyer from Hoquiam to a
North Yakima friend and in his let

years. Mr.. Sandmeyer writes as fol-
lows:
Are you people busy at Yakima
boosting the census? If not then
would suggest that you get busy and
keep busy until the census is taken.
Seattle and Tacoma are busy. I have
been grabbed" about five times a

towns, and everybody you see, even
the newsboys, yells at you. Boost the
census Don't forget to register for

RAILROAD IS FALSE
TO WESTINGHOUSE
Veteran Steed of the J. M. Perry
Company Learns Something
New About Trains.

j. NJ. Perry's Old horse Bill got in
to a mix up with the Northern Pa
ciic railroad about six o'clock last
night. Bill has watched the trains
going and coming, sometimes noisly
and sometimes in their sneaking way.
for 10, these many years He has
had a personal. acquaintance with
every railroad worker and ward man
Since the first carload of produce
went out Of this valley And in all
that time he has been reliable. He
could be depended to face even some
of the rattletraps which have done
duty here as yard engines. But last
night the railroad Played him false.
Had it not been that the little
daughter of *. S. Poynter held fast
to his head and kept him due north
and south ii would have killed him.
As it was the wagon attached was
strewn along the tracks or 100 yards
and Bill emerged from the wrcckage
skinned and cut but with no per-
manent injury Bill attempted to
make a crossing ahead Of a box car
that sneaked on him unsuspectingly.
and finding himself headed off he
wisely tried to stand between the two
tracks. He would have won out on
that proposition had the wagon been
more narrow. But as it was the little
girl saved him and it was a narrow
squeak for both Of them.
A witness of the accident says that
the bell was not ringing and only by
a mere chance was it that he missed
running into the engine himself. The
fireman who should have been look
ing ahead and ringing the bell might
easily have avoided the accident as
the horse stood it plain sight behind
the end of a box car which hid a
portion of the horse and the rig from
view.

According to her own testimony
while thus thus engaged, She met and

the couple, the acquaintanc eshiu
grew to become real infatuation and
then the attention of both parties
was turned toward the barrier in the
way of their becoming man and wife.

In the meantime the woman's af-

At the conclusion of the testimony
Judge Kaufman Immediately an

Kaufman said:
THE case is an extremely unusual
one. According to the testimony the
plaintiff seeks the divorce for the ex-
