The Yakima Democrat -- VOL. 7 -- No. 44 -- July 20, 1901.

Abstract

"Local Happenings. A monkey has been monkeying on the south end of Natchez avenue lately. The animal must have escaped from the monkey-estrian gang belonging to the Campbell Bros.' circus, as he has a penchant for jumping on horses' backs and scaring the animals of the neighborhood into fits. Fruit growers who ship their product at Simcoe station are very wrathy at the Northern Pacific for failing to put an agent in charge of the office there, as has been promised. They say large quantities of peaches are spoiling because of their inability to ship, as trains will not stop even when flagged."
