Robert SNYDER. a business man of
Billir Is, Mont, passing through our
town, stopped long enough to set the
pace as an angler. He hooked from
Percival dock, Saturday morning,
a tyee salmon that weighed ISL
pounds. the largest on record that
was caught by hook and line. While
considerably elated over his luck. he
seemed to think that he attained at
the same time a reputation as beng
the champion liar. every time he en-
beavers to tell the truth about it.
\ request of Frank Blake to be al
lowed to use the east half OF portion
of Tilton street for a blacksmith shop
has been allowed by the City Coun-
Gil, until such time as it shall be
needed for other purposes. tXperl-
ence has demonstrated that this is a
dangerous practice, as it has been
necessary to purchase what were
claimed as vested rights by Just that
shipshod provision. The city should
make such use in the form of a lease.
with definite time of release, to avoid
trouble.
The Tenino blast was tame affair
as far at least as the noise of concus-
sion resulted. Nearly 100000 tons
of solid rock was apparently raised
several feet and deposited in broken
form that can be readily handled for
the harbor improvements contem-
plated on Gray Harbor Not the
slightest vibration was felt here and
the spectators at Tenino declare that
the conclusion was scarcely felt few
yards from the blast. About 800
people were present from the Sound
and river towns.

list was in the city this week on
legal business in which he was per-
sonally concerned; claims a party
sold him meat unfit for food and in
trying to collect the bill which he pro-
poses to resist and countcrclaim dam
ages. Incidentally, the STANDARD
learns Mr.. Giggy is 40 longer a
judicial officer. is now trying black
smithing, also is willing to concede he
is jurist and may be prepared here
after to hammer obstreperous law
yers who fail to treat him with the
consideration to which he may think
himself entitled.
Mrs. Cornelia Patnude, aged 81
years. an old-time resident of this
city, died Sunday afternoon. at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Reder, on Seventeenth and Franklin
streets. She was the mother OF
twelve children. Her demise was
sudden and is supposed to have orig
mated from heart trouble. Her hus-
band, Charles Patnude, died about a
year ago. He was well known
factor in our business life, and be-
came resident of this place 20 years
ago. Deceased was to have left for
California. March 1st, on a visit to
her daughter at San Jose. The fu-
neral was held this morning at $50

A fire in the home of C. H. Zeigler.
on Wilson street, between Ninth and
Tenth streets, EaStside, last Satur-
day night, about 9 O'Clock, result
ed in the total destruction of build
ing and contents. The family were
all absent and it is not known how
the fire originated, but one thing is
known and that is that had there
been no fire left to take care OF itself,
the disaster would not have occurred.
The heat of the flames destroyed fruit
trees and garden growth, but owing
to the late rains did not spread to
contiguous property. The building
was quite q roomy house valued g.
600 and insured for 81 200, but 500
of that had been assigned on the lot
as security for a loan. Several lists
have been in circulation for relief Of
the almost destitute family and met
with ready response. AS an addition
to the worry Mrs. Zeigler is in deli
cate state of health, but is bearing
up bravely over the ill-fortune.
The jury deliberated four hours
over the first case of condemnation
of land for the capitol site Saturday,
and awarded J. +. Thomas 81, 100 for
east half of lots l and 1 of block l
Smith and Dunbar's addition to the
city. Jury consisted OF II men now
hearing the suits for the purpose
of clearing title. The award is con-
sidered very favorable to the claim
ant. 1t is $4O0 less than his claim
and 5000 more than the State offered
to pay without the arbitrament of
law. This will probably determine
the allowance that will be made in
other suits.

So, 300 for his house and lot on Capt.
tai avenue, after several hours de-
liberation, Tuesday, by the jury hav-
ing charge of the condemnation
