New Office. . of Arrested under the name of John Doe two Greeks were placed on ' trial this afternoon and another man . said to have answered to various names and said to be a Greek-Turk, yet who claimed to be of French-Turkish!" de scent, wene fined $15 In police court by Judge Humphreys thl morning, all as the aftermath of a "rough house between a party of Greeks, the Turk and some Americans last night : It ftp pears from a casual Inspection of the matte that the Turk was at the bot tom of the trouble when, as he was or dered out or the Greek shoe shining parlors on Depot street, he called the Greeks insulting names. That Is the Greek version. He wa8 ordered out, say the proprietors of the place, be cause he had, according to the Infor mation, made overtures to ja white girl here,- and he was not wanted on the premises on that account. The upshot of it was that two Greeks ouated the man bodily and a fight ensued on the street. The Turk who resembles a white man greatly, gained .the eympa thles of bystanders who thought he was an American and wag. being pum meled by Greeks. Then come a near riot that required all the police and sev eral bystanders 'to quell. In the melee the Turk escaped and it was notuntll the Greeks explained to the near mob that violence against the classic race wag ended. In order to get at Che real 'offenders all of the ringleaders were arrested. The Turk escaped but was afterwards arrested and is now serv ing a Jail sentence In lieu of the pay ment of th3 fine. Charges of fighting only were preferred against the three. It is said by the Greeks that they know the Turk made obnoxious proposals to at least one white girl In this city and tried o get another white man to plead his cause with the Bame girl a little later on.

The Oregonlan's lineup of congres sional lightning rods Is minus two names, and they are from La Grande, according to well informed politicians in this city. The Oregonlan yesterday published a list of probable candidates for the new congressional district which ig due to be created by con gressional enactment at this session but which, as yet, has not been done. It is understood there is some opposition to the re-apportionment of the nation. al house but whether this is strong enough to prevent the passage of the measure which is now up to the sen-' ate, navmg been adopted by the House, remains to be seen. The senate votes on this measure August 7th. " Assuming that it will pass there will be a lively scramble for the new office to be created in Eastern Oregon. ThereJ are two men In La Jrande not men tioned In the appended list of Eastern Oregon congressional timber, who are said to be aligning their political rods right now but for various reasons have not stepped in to the public limelight. However, this will be dono at the right time and place. The Oregonlan's arti cle, of general Interest in Eastern Ore gon, says In part: . La Grangers Enter Early.
