the sitting of the grand Jury where
he will appear as a witness in the

selling liquor in violation of the local
option law. They are separate to
those in the city court.
Keller is held as a witness on two
charges against Atkinson, the bonds
being $300 on each count. Being un
able to meet the bond, he was placed
in Jail to spend a month there at least
that he may appear as a witness.
One witness which the state had
corralled, was shipped out of the city,
it Is said by the saloon element and
to avoid a duplication of the trick,
Keller is In Jail.

THE EI1EIE
INTEREST STIRRED
IN TRIAL
EVIDENCE IS CONTRADICTORY
ATKINSON DENIES ALL CHARGES
OF SELLING BOOZE.
WILL RENDER DECISION TOMORROW
Yery Few Witnesses Were Examined
' ,. in Both Cases.
In the two cases in wiilca Ralph
Atkinson was charged with selling
lquor held before Recorder Cox this
morning tha matter was't iVtn umler
auJi:tTifi1t until tomor'sv n ovnlng
The tes.mony of the sio.Vn.i .
he prosecution was contradictory. The
first witness called in the first case
was Chief of Police Rayburn and ha
testined that he asked the man Keller
the man who is claimed purchased the
whiskey from Atkinson, if he, Kellef,
could get any whisky in town and that
Keller stated that he could and Ray
burn asked him to purchase it for
him. Rayburn says that a short thne
later Keller came to him with the
whiskey. Keller was called and he
corroborated Rayburn in saying that
Ra,yburn had asked him to purchase
some liquor for him and that he pur
chased the liquor from Atkinson.
When Atkinson was called he denied
ever having sold any whiskey to Kel
ler, and stated that Keller came into
his place of business and demanded
that he sell him some whiskey. When
he refused, he said that Keller grew
belllgerant and tried to force him to
sell him whiskey. ' ' .
The case was taken under advise
ment and the second case was called.
After Recorder Cox had overruled the
demurrer that was filed by Judge
Ramsey, the council for the defend
ant, Atkinson pleaded "not guilty."
The first witness in the case was
Chief Rayburn and he stated that
when he received the first bottle of
whiskey, which was tne bottle ex
hibited in the first case, he asked Kel
ler if he could get apothcr and Keller
stated that he could and the Chief then
gave him the money and told him to
go and get it. Before Keller started to
get the whiskey Rayburn stated that
he made sure that he had no other
bottle with him and that he then fol
lowed Keller and saw him enter the
Palace Saloon and remaining there for
a few moments he came out and went
around to the Recorder's office where
he delivered the whiskey to Reyburn.
When Keller was called h9 corroborat
ed Reyburn in his testimony and also
stated that he secured the whiskey
from Atkinson.
Atkinson was called and as before
he denied selling the whiskey to Kel
ler and stated that he never worked
In the saloon at all on Sunday morn
ing and that the only time that he
was behind the bar was when he
went to put Borne change in the till.
William Kooser was called and ho
testified that he was tending bar there
on Sunday morning and stated that
Atkinson was in and out of the place
all the morning and also stated that
he never saw Atkinson sell any whis
key to Keller or any one else for that
matter. .
Both bottles of whiskey were held
as exhibits in the case. A decision will
be rendered tomorrow in both of the
cases. '

Doesn't Satisfy.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17. Sam Berger,
representing Jeffries in the prepara
tions for the Jeffries-Johnson fight is
to leave tonight for California where
he will make all final arrangements
for the the world's championship bat
tle. He said that he had received the
offer of $G2;000 from Tom McCarry,
the Los Angeles promoter, but was
waiting to see Promoter Jim Coffratb
j of San Francisco, before clinching the
rrangements. It is apparent from Ber
ger's manner that he believes the fight
will be pulled off in the state of Cal
ifornia. , ' . - .
Nothing to Bid on. -
News of the coming of Berger las
aroused little interest here. "What Is
there to bid on?" when asked if he
prepared to make a substantial bid
when Berger arrived. Coffroth said
"There isn't a match on between the
big fellows, as I see it" Many fans
take a similar view.

That the wheat market Is loosening

an entire crop at Island City, purchas
ed by U. B. Couch for the Pacific Coast !
Elevator compa This Is the first
croo of new wl JL Bold in Island City
this year, rVa, view of the unsta
bllity of tV- 'tharket since threshing
commenced, It is encouraging news.
The size of the sale is not announced
but the price obtained for the number
one forty-fold ls 76 and 1-2, a prica
mat is as good as has been paid in the
valley for that class this year. Very
little wheat hat been sold however.'
and each sale Is an item of much in
terest, as delay in disposing of crops
retards the free circulation of the"
thousands of wheat money'represente l
in tne ynron county crop.
This makes several days In succes
sion that there has been general and
marked stability in the market, no
fall having occurred since late last
