The mayor was frank.
He told her he was in Yakima

He pointedly remarked that
there had been some tall steam
roller work done in King county
and that the delegates have been
whipped into line.
And whom do you favor for
GOVERNOR" the lady asked.
I'm for Mcbride" said GIL.
This fellow. George Lee. is a
morning glory. a dandy starter,
but gets lost in the shuttle
There was more along the same
line.
The next afternoon the Yakima
Republic came out with the full in
terview.
The mayor said he didn't know
he was being interviewed. He
thought she was delegate or
something.
But that's all right said the
mayor, I'm stand by what | said"
The gin interview caused a f,i-
rore among the delegates.
There had been rumblings Of un-
derhanded tactics. Some of the
delegates openly resented the way

carried thru.

and +. Compton, Deemer's clerk.
Retreat to Adobe Hut
A wax factory was the only in

A few Mexican families made up
the remainder OF the population.
When the attack began the Amer.
leans retreated 10 an adobe hut. bar
ricaded its doors and windows and
began a desperate fight against
overwhelming odds.
They we're routed when the Mex.
leans, despairing OF approaching the
heleaguered Americans while they
had any ammunition left. hurled
fire balls upon the matched roof.
Three Men Killed
Three men fell as the little de-
tachment fled from the blaze. One

Those who survived reached the
shelter OF rocky field and contin-
ued their battle until daylight. when
the Mexicans, with triumphant
yells. rode away. carrying as cap

circulated for several days.
