MORE STREET FIGHTING
IMOX' TEAMSTERS CLASH "WITH
POLICE AND NONUNION MEN.
Judge Slosn Issues Injunction Ik
Cooks' and 'VaIters Strike Por
ters nnd Packers May Go Out.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. Street fights
between union and nonunion teamsters
and an injunction In the cooks' and wait
ers' strike were features in the local labor
situation today. Judge S106S, of the Su
perior Court, Issued an injunction abso
lutely prohibiting the strikers from per
auadlng or inducing persons In the employ
of a restaurant-keeper to leave hla em
ploy, from seefclng to prevent other per
sons dealing with him, and from the use
of the word "unfair," or other defama
tory statements calculated to injure his
business.
Five of the principal boxmakers of the
city suspended operations today as the
result of the teamsters' strike. About 500
men were thrown out of employment.
A conference between the president of
the Union Iron Works and the machinists
who went out May 20 will be held tomor
row afternoon.
A number of porters and packers be
came involved In the teamsters strike to
day. Twenty-two drivers employed by
the Standard Oil Company left their wag
ons, and the bosses ordered porters and
packers to drive the teams. The men re
fused and were discharged. Tonight the
porters' and packers' union held a meet
ing to discuss the situation and consider
the advisability qf ordering out Its mem
bers. A mimber of nonunion drivers from the
country went to work today as drivers of
heavy drays, and several fights resulted.
A clash between union and nonunion men
took place at the stables of McNab &
Smith, on Brannan street. A dozen non
union teamsters, guarded by the police,
were preparing to drive out for the day's
work. Just as the drivers left the barn
a crowd of 250 union teamsters appeared
and importuned the drivers not to go to
work. These importunities were met by
refusals. The teams were halted, and at
tempts were made to drag the men from
the wagons. Bricks, rocks and other mls
,slles were freely thrown, and several per
'sons were struck. The police then charged
with their clubs, and for a time fighting
was general. One or two of the nonunion
teamsters were badly beaten and 10 or
12 union men knocked down before the
police succeeded in clearing the street.
There were many bloody faces In evi
dence. Another crowd of union teamsters
stopped a team belonging to the Califor
nia Canneries Company on Folsom street,
between Second and Third, and attacked
tho driver, who was dragged into the
street and unmercifully beaten. While
the fight was at Its thickest Captain of
Police Wllman and a squad of mounted
and foot police arrived, and after a vig
orous use of their clubs dispersed the
rioters.
SUIT WITHDRAWN.
Ex-Trensurer Compromises With
Thurston County.
OLYMPIA, July 26. The suit brought by
Robert Frost, ex-County Treasurer,
against Thurston County, to recover
$1200, due him on account of moneys paid
for deputy hire, has been withdrawn and
a settlement made. Yesterday an agree
ment was reached whereby Mr. Frost Is
to Tecelve $500 from the county and with
draw the action. Mr. , Frost is to allow
as an offset whatever sum the county
finds his office was In arrears when he re
tired, in January last It is not gener
ally known that when Mr. Frost retired
there was a shortage of between $300 and
3400, and there is yet about 5200 due the
county. When this has been credited up
to the ex-Treasurer the balance of the
$500 allowed yesterday will be paid him.
Mr. Frost was elected on a Populist
platform, pledging to run the various of
fices for the salaries allowed by law. So
far as he was concerned, this pledge was
extravagant, as It is impossible to run
the office for the Treasurer's statutory
salary. Tht shortage referred to was
due to the primitive methods of man
agement, and not to any criminal intent.
LIQUOR-DEALERS DECAMP.
Leave Ashland and Attorney Appeals
to Supreme Court.
ASHLAND, July 26. After a few pro
cesses In the Recorder's Court, and a
hearing upon a writ of error in the Circuit
Court, the saloon men appear to be
completely knocked out, and have sud
denly decamped. Ashland Is now in fact,
as well as in name, a "dry town." When
the Circuit Court's decision was ren
dered, Mayor Nell went to the saloon
men and demanded $500 to $1000 from each,
upon payment of which they were assured
that all further prosecutions would cease,
provided there was no more illicit selling
of liquors. He claimed to have a string
of cases against them, and conviction
ment fines amounting to abou tall their
possessions. They were to take the" pro
posals of the Mayor under advisement,
but availed themselves of the first op
portunity to get out for California. Some
are In San Francisco and others are at
Hornbrook, a small town over the Slskl
yous, just across the state line. Mean
time their attorney has filed notice of ap
peal to the State Supreme Court.
NO GAMBLING IN GRANT'S PASS.
City Ordinance Against It Is Being
Actively Enforced.
GRANT'S PASS, July 26. There has
been considerable skirmishing in this city
during the past few days between the
police officers and the gamblers, as the
result of an order made by the City
Council at its last session, to stop all
forms of" gambling in Grant's Pass, and
enforce the ordinance existing in this re
gard. Poker games, slot machines and
other forms of gambling have been car
ried on 'here for some time. The opera
tors of the various games were taken by
surprise when told by the police that
they must stop their machines and move
on. No trouble of any consequence has
ensued thus far, and it is thought the
police will succeed In keeping gambling
down.

originated is not known. It was first dls
covercd In a meadow at the foot of the
mountain, where the dry grass and fan
ning freeze spread the flames with such
fury as to be beyond control in a short
time. It is feared that- much more tim
ber will be destroyed before the fire
abates, as a brisk north wind Is blowing.

LIEU LAND LAW IS BAD
C03I3IISSIONER HERMANN SAYS IT
MUST BE AMENDED AT ONCE.
He Will Not Recommend Further
Creation of Forest Reserves Until
Congress Has Taken Action.
WASHINGTON, July 26. In a letter to
the Secretary of the Interior today, the
Commissioner of the General Land Office
says that he will recommend the crea
tion of no more forest reservations until
the law governing lieu-land selections has
been materially amended so as to pro
vide that lands taken in lieu of tracts
within reserves so selected shall be of
the same area and approximately of the
same value as the relinquished tracts.
This action grew out of the proposed re

GRANT'S PASS, July 26. G. E. Ackley,
a prospector was brought to this city
yesterday with a painful wound to be
dressed. Ackley was prospecting In the
Althouse district, and climbing a rocky,
precipitous path when he slipped and fell.
The pistol slung at his waist was jerked
from the belt and bounded against the
rocks In front of him In such a way
as to strike the hammer and explode the
cartridge. The bullet entered the pros
pector's right arm, severing the artery
and Inflicting an ugly wound. He has
lost much blood, but will recover without
the amputation of his ar, unless blood
poisoning sets in.

SALMON STILL RUNNING
CANNERIES LIMITING CATCH AND
WORKING TO UTMOST CAPACITY.
Full Extent of the Run Cannot Be
Accurately Known-Labor Scarce
and Wages High.
ASTORIA, July 26. Nearly every one
connected with the fishing industry ad-
mits that the run of salmon now in prog
ress is the largest seen Jn the Columbia
for a great many years. Just how exten
sive It Is will neyer be known, since, ow
ing to a lack of facilities for handling
the catch, fishing has been stopped to a
great extent for the past two days. Still
. large amount of fish Is being put up.
Ten canneries are in operation on the
lower river, and their dally pack in cases
le about as follows: Sanborn, 1100; com
bine, three canneries, 3S00; Co-operative,
1200; Booth, 800; McGowan, at Chinook,
1000; Warren, at Cathlamet, 500; Pillar
Rock, 1300; Megler, 800. Total 10.300. Be
sides these, there are five cold-storage
plants, which handle dally about 120 tons
of fish, equal to 4000 cases. Private par
ties are salting each day what would
equal 1000 cases, and fully as many more
are sent to the canneries at the Cascades.
Thla Indicates that the present rn of
fish means more than $100,000 daily for
Astoria.
The local canneries and cold-storage
plants have not yet entirely recovered
from the blockade, but some are now
able to receive fish from their own gear.
The Co-operative Is working two shifts,
and by limiting the boats to 500 pounds
each, can about keep even. Sanborn will
start receiving fish tomorrow morning,
and the Combine expects to clean up ev
erything from its receiving stations by
that tme. Booth is taking the catch of
his regular fishermen, and expects to be
able to continue to do so. The cold-storage
plants are all working to their full
capacity, with the exception of one, which
Is short of casks. LIndenberger received
no fish today, but will do so tomorrow.
Trescott & Co. have been taking fish all
day, and this evening shipped four car
loads to Warren's cannery at Warrendale.
Schmidt & Co. are taking flsh only from
their own gear, and are kept busy to do
this.
Judging from all appearances, the run
continues fully as large as during the
past two days, and "if all the gear was
in operation everything would soon be
blocked again. The price paid is 6 cents
per pound, and the only time It has
dropped below that figure was when the
fishermen offered their catches for less in
order to get rid of them. The scarcity of
labor was felt more than ever today, as
the crews which have been working over
time are becoming exhausted. At some
of the canneries fishermen were pressed
Into srvlce today.
While the glllnetters have had hard
luck In the Inability of the packers to
take all their fish, they are not as badly
off as are the seiners. Before the season
opened Mr. Tallant, one of the seiners,
contracted with a local. packer to deliver
all his fish to him. Up to Wednesday the
seines caught few fish, though Tallant
furnished his cannery with more than
half the fish packed before the present
run commenced. When fish became plen
tiful Wednesday, his seines' took 30 tons.
After 15 tons were delivered, notice was
given that no more fish could be accepted.
Yesterday Mr. Tallant estimates he could
have caught $8000 worth of salmon on his
grounds, but he did not operate.
