Abstract
"Yakima City was at that time a wild wooley place, where cowboys, Indians cattle and sheep men and hose raisers and a few outskirt ranchers congregated on Saturdays and Sundays and consumed almost incredible quantities of bad whiskey. Some of these denizens became nosy and obstreperous and there were numerous fights and scuffles and an occasional gun play. Drinking, gambling, horse racing with the accompanying betting and carousing were the Sunday amusements and formed the social amenities of the day. This little pioneer town was twenty five miles from the fort where the business of the agency was transacted, and where the Indian Agent and the employes resided."
