or thy neighbor may get stuck
whereupon the recording angel listen

YAKIMA is GROWING
WITH GREAT BOUNDS
Wenatchee Man Tells His People
of the Great Change Which
Has Come Over This Valley

Herewith is given an interesting
outside view of North Yakima. 1t is
that of a Wenatcnee man. Marvin
Chase. who is very well known here.
He is a civil engineer and has been
engaged on many of the big con-
struction projects in this portion Of
Washington. He is pioneer of Wen
atchee and thinks, as he puts it. that
that valley has been Jim Killed too
Long" He favors more transporta-
ton companies and is urging his peo-
pie to go after them. In an interview
in the Wenatchee World he is quoted
as follows:
1--WE have an illustration in North
Yakima. AS long as it was under
the domination of the Northern Pa
cific. the place remained practically
stationary. After the building Of
the interurban lines and another
railroad into the
city, it grew with leaps and bounds
and so it would be with this valley"

jury locked mn Over Sunday

Jury LOOKUP up OVcf SunOay
After the adjournment of court.
Judge Preble stated to the jury that
it would be necessary for them to
be locked up over Sunday. and added
that they might secure their mail by
having one of the bailiffs call for 1t
at the post office. They would also
be at liberty to send home for such
articles of clothing. ETC.. as they
needed He said they were not to
read the local newspapers containing
reports of the case and were to be
careful to observe his injunctions
about talking It over among them
selves or anybody else. He did not
prescribe magazines. One juryman, +.
H. Church. asked permission to call
up his home, saying that one Of his
children was Ill of the whooping
cough and he wished to ask about 1t.
Judge Preble smilingly gave him per-
mission.
Words Line OF Prosecution
In his opening remarks, Prosecut-
ing Attorney Ward said he would
show by a long line Of witnesses that
the shooting was not done in a mo-
mentary fit of anger or in self de-
Tense; but that the defendant. Henry
Bowinkleman had had trouble of
long standing with John Meeboer;
that frequently he had threatened to
kill him, and that the state Of mind
Of the defendant trended toward
homicide and had for some time
previous to the shooting of Meeboer
in January.
The First Witness
Charl White a carpenter. was
the first witness. He testified to see
ing the body Of John Meeboer, about
1880 o'clock, on the day of the shoot
ing. He said that he found the team
Of Meeboer standing near the spring,
with the water barrel on 1t running
over The body of Meeboer was about
40 feet from the wagon, up the hill.
He looked the dead man over without
touching him, but saw nothing Of a
holster holding the gun which the
defendant had testified at the inquest
he saw on Meeboer. 1t was only at
Chauncey Fair gave testimony prac-
tically the same as that of White, the
witness.
Mr.. and Mrs. MeepOer, the parents
of John, told of the moving of the
body of their dead son to the house,
but stated that his clothing was left
as it was at the time he was shot,
and that nothing was removed from
his person.
Self Defense Later Claimed
The testimony of Sheriff Day and
of Justice Heman d. Hunt, who had
acted as coroner, was the same as to
the defendants conversation on the
way from North Yakima to the scene
of the shooting on the day after the
occurrence. During that trip, Bo-
winkleman told of his meeting with
Meeboer at the spring, and said the
latter asked why he was saying
things about him and the other
boys. Meeboer, the defendant had
said, had called him vile names, had
attacked him and then he shot him.
The witnesses testified that at first
Bowinkleman claimed the shooting
was an accident, but that at the in
quest, when an examination revealed
the gun on the dead man he claimed
self defense.
