to pass in Olympia that on a certain
night the warning went forth unto
all tho residents Mt one OF tho hotels

were nigh unto the city.

Many were tho misgivings as the
evening drew nigh and the fcasting.

And many folks fain would have
waited until the following evening
TO continue the festivities, but the
Drawer of the many parties scoffed
AT the idea and spakc. saying:
IF the federal officers demand
entrance at our dooys we can throw
our bottles from the window into
the courtyard below" and the timid
were thus treasured.
As the evening wore on the parties
continued at their play and nothing
occurred to cast a damper on tho
spirit that existed. The hour OF 10
drew nigh and from many windows
and corridors could be heard the
laughing OF men and women.
