Former Resident Now AssistantSecretary of Washington.

Older residents of Jasper county will remember William Hinkle, of Carpenter township, and'his son, Grant* Hinkle. The father went to the civil war, being a' member of Milroy’s company. He moved to Kansas in about 1876, locating at,Kingman and later going to Greensburg. About 20 years ago Grant moved to the state of Washington, locating at Spokane. Last year he was an independent candidate for mayor of that city, running fan a law enforcement and liquor regulation platform and securing a large number of votes. The appointment of assistant secretary of state came to him unsolicited, he having been selected by the secretary of state. It will require his removal to the state capital at Olympia. Ex-county surveyor Myrt B. Price, who was a neigh-' bor acquaintance of Hinkle in Carpenter township, and who later knew him in Kansas, received a Spokane paper giving an account of the appointment and eulogizing the high citizenship of the appointee.
