A large amount of exhibits is now in
the opera house, and a finer display of
fruits and vegetables would be hard to
find. One display ot fruit contained
over forty varieties, while there are at
least tenentries of this nature. Mrs,
Stabling's display of plants and flowers
is simply elegant, whileBurt Campbell's
display of stuffed birds and animals and
his beautiful rugs made from the skins
of animals, are well worth seeing. The
oil paintings are excellent, while . the
crochet and point lace, embroidery and
other kinds of fancy work are hard to
beat. A collection of thirty-six different
kinds lot garden eeedB are also on ex
hibit.

5, by the death of James Rose, who de

years, at the residence of bis niece, Mrs.
A. B. Lamb, in - FoBsil, where he had

years before Fossil was thought of as a
city, The deceased was of a peculiarly
quiet and retiring disposition, who sel
dom came to town except on election
days, but be was well-known by a'l the
old-timers in whose hearts hiB memory
will remain green until they are called
to follow their comrade through the val
ley of the Shadow. - -

tice which was put in concerning the

vilion. It should have read tnat.they

It may be necessary to offer an apoloey
to the patrons of The Chboniclb for the
hasty form in which it appears today, as
it was necessary to get it out by noon in
order to allow the force to attend the
races during the afternoon. Should it
on this occasion not contain all the news,
be kind enough not to blame the editor,
but attribute any shortcomings to the
limited time in which it was printed,
On the 11th of this month the federal
supreme court took up the Durrant case,
On its decision hang three other Cali
fornia appeals, and several Washington
cases will virtually be settled by it. The
appeals have no inherent merit. The
only, real question to be decided is
whether the states need delay the ex
ecution of the judgements of their courts
pending such vexatious and purely
dilatory appeals. '
Ernest Knight, who has been mining
near Baker City for several weeks, met

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
One Woman
Killed and
Injured.
Two Others
Yesterda'y Immediately after the races
th ree Front street courtesans Frankie
Young, Daisy Wellington and Mrs.
Gussie M. Suesims were driving rap
idly from the fair grounds, and on turn
ing the " short carve by Mrs. Bagley's
residence, Daisy, who was driving, was
thrown out. She was caught by Frankie
Young, who, in the attempt to save her
friend, lost her balance and fell out also,
the vehicle passing over her body and
one of her legs, which it severely bruised,
but no bones were broken.
The remaining girl attempted to jump,
but in so -doing struck her head on a
picket fence, which inflicted a deep cut
in her face, caused severe concussion of
the brain, and dislocated her neck, from
the effects of which she died in a few
moments.
The deceased came here from Albany
some time ago, and went by the name
of Minnie Jones; She t as a husband
and two children in Albany, who were
telegraphed to immediately after the ac
cident, i-.
The other two women are getting
along nicely, and as no bones are broken,
will soon recover. "
The accident was caused purely by
careless driving, and should serve as
warning to others who drive too rapidly
over the rough roads in this vicinity. ;
not accustomed ' to traveline : with hia
eyes closed, he is still wondering how
those bones got to the place in which
they were found. Sullivan will return
to Butter creek in a few days and has
promised to pick up the skull and thigh
bones, which are tt6 only ones that will
stand being moved, and bring them in .
to Dr. Smith who is anxious to make aa '
examination ot them. . Mr. Sullivan is
sure that they are, the bones of some -white
person. '.'-:

egon, aged twenty-two years, was kicked
in the stomach by a horse at 3 :30 this
morning while feeding norsesat the G.
D. Peebler ranch on Stage Gulch, north
west of Pendleton, and fatally injured.
Wheeler was able to walk to the house
after the accident and awoke Mr. Peeb
ler, whom he told he was badly hurt,
He then threw himself on the bed.
Peebler immediately sent to Pendleton
for a doctor, and in the meantime did
what he could for the unfortunate young
man's relief. He sank rapidly and died
after two hours of suffering, before the
doctor's arrival. .
Welcome Walker, who farms a mile
below Peebler's ranch, brought the news
to town and summoned the physician,
He has notified Wheeler's relatives at
Junction City of the young man's sad
death.
Yesterday's first race which was not
decided at the time of going to press,
was won by Meteor. This was a pretty
race from the turnlooee ' and all the
horses traveled perfectly except Leland
W, who is a young horse not fully
trained, and very excitable, for which
reason be gets off bis feet very readily.
The second contest was. a 3-mile
running race for a purse of a $100. The
entries were Black Alder, Sally Good
win, Lou Kendall and Raindrop. The
horses were all frisky at the post, but
got off after fifteen minutes with Rain
drop considerably in the rear. . At the
quarter pole they were bunched np and
made a pretty race, coming in with
Black Alder, - first; Sally Goodwin,
second; Raindrop, third. Time one
minute flat. .
The last race was between Gus L,
Allicia, Imported Indymion, and Latah.
The distance was -mile for a purse of
$125. The start was even, but they had
carcely started when Latah and Allicia
took the lead. However on the home
stretch the brown stallion took the lead
and come in his own length ahead ot
Allicia with Imported Indymion, third.
A Ghastlr Find.
J. P. Sullivan, who has spent many
years upon the mountain ranges of this
county, came into town early Sunday
morning from Big Butter creek and re
ports having found the skeleton of a hu
man being last Friday, not more than
300 yards from the ranch of James Nel
son, and only about five feet from the
road, says the Pendleton Tribune. The
skeleton appeared in full sight as be
rode along the road, and this is the.
strangest part because every foot of that
country has been covered and recover
ed. Mr. , Sullivan himself has been
over the road many times, and aa he is
- A pleasanter day than this could not
have been desired for a fair. It waa cool"
eoongh to enable the horses to do their
best, and more than that, there was not
a breeze moving to stir up the dust. The
large crowd present at the grounds
showed the appreciation felt on account
of the suitable weather, as well as the
.fine speed program which was to take
place.
The entries for the first race were lei
land Lass, Pathmount and Deceiver, but
at time of going to press only two heats
had been run, Pathmount winning the.
first and Deceiver the second. As the
best three in four wins the purse, it was
not decided at the time the reporter
had to leave; '"
One thing can be said, and that is that
the fair is turning out to be far better
than many anticipated, and a very large
attendance may be expected the last
days. , . -
Found Her Husband. -
Mrs. E. M. Avres, of Eugene, came t
Walla Walla a few days ago to meet her
husband, who had written to her to
come here as he had secared employ
ment.' Mrs. Ay res was surprized on her
arrival to find no one to welcome her,
and as the days went by and she found
no trace of her husband she became
alarmed and informed the police of her
trouble. Mrs..' Ayres was almost dis
tracted until today, when the mystery
was cleared up. The woman made a
mistake about the place, and instead of "
her husband writing from Walla Walla
he wrote from Wallula, where he has
been working for a Mr. Morgan. Mrs.
Ayres left today with her little child for
Wallula, greatly relieved that her
troubles had been so quickly dispelled.
