P.B. Van Trump, who can date reasonably far back as a pioneer of our city- say nearly forty years- who for a couple or more of decades was the “Nasby” of Yelm, now residing in Seattle, visited his old-time home last Saturday, and found a few friends remaining, who knew him in days of yore, when the “Merry Bachelors” club controlled all social events, and society itself had not become so enobled as to require separation of the goats from the sheep.

Hazard Stevens, who remained in the warm cave on the summit over night.
