PORTLAND. Jan. 2. A special dispatch from Vancouver, B. C, to tho
Evening Telegram says that feeling runs high in that city as a result of
an attack of a band of Japanese upon three firemen last night, follow
ing the breaking of a window in a Japanese store. One of the firemen
playfully shoved a companion in such n manner that ho could not regain
his balance and he fell against the window. In the fight which followed
the enraged Japanese badly cut up th0 firemen with knives. Only the
boisterous weather which keeps people off the streets has perhaps pre
vented a demonstration of more or less serious proportions. Tho danger
lies in the fact that hundreds of unemployed are in the city. Five Japan
ese have been arrested as a result of the afilray.

Marshfield clearly proved her su
premecy over North i3end on tho
football field yesterday afternoon In
a sea of mud and rain. Tno score
at tho close of two twenty-minute
halves was 11 to 0 in favor of the
visitors, who were never m danger
at any point In tho game except one,
when n member of tho Norm Bond
team emerged from a scrimmage
with nothing between him and tho
Marshfield goal except a clear field.
He was caught in tho nick of time,
otherwise North Bend would have
scored.
There was quite a crowd at tho
gamo considering tho state of tho
weather. The football field was
dotted over with small seas, and in
one or two cases some of the play
ers would have been drowned if -the
whole outfit had piled In tho mid
dle of one of those lakes. Only the
top of ono player's head could bo
seen when ho went into tho water
hole, and this caused great amuse
ment to the onlookers.
One of tho special features in the
grandstand was the climbing of
n small boy, who wont up tho wires
on a' dare from somo other "kids."
Shortly afterward thero wero two of
the smallest of them in a scrap, and
for a short timo the game had few
jfupportors when tho two youngsters
commenced a mill right in tho grand
stand. Tho mill was stopped by the
1 mother .of the lad who was getting
the worst of the fight, who nntural
, ly walloped him severely for not be
j ing able to fight. Other incidents of
I a liko nature made tho afternoon
ono of pleasure and excitement.
"Meanwhile1 the. big ;gaiuq rolled
along fiercely nnd steadily. Mud,
was the most, Important featuro in
sight, and on numerous occasions
participants In tho gamo had to havo
their tueo washed beforo they could
see the bull once more.
Both touchdownu wero made by
Marshfield In tho first half. Tho
Initial ono was made by Bert Dlm
mlck, who played his usual energetic
and steady gamo. A punt wont wldo
of tho goal counting flvo for tho vis
itors. Tho second touchdown was
made by "Rnst" Towor, who made a
neat dabh of 35 yards on a fumblo
by North Bend.
Butler, of Mnrahfiold, crossed tho
lino in a 25-yard dash, but this did
not count because tho visitors wore
charged with holding tho lino. In
fact the referee said, after tho game,
that the visiting team was using pret
ty rough tactics, and certainly
showed a lack of practice. Tho fact
of tho matter Ib that tho Marshfield
team did not practlco for tho gamo at
all, most of them nover having
touched tho ball since Thanksgiving,
while tho North Bond team is said
to have been practicing diligently.
North Bend certainly showed im
provement over its last gamo in this
city. Thero was moro ginger nnd on
several occasions their aggressiveness
almost started something, but after
tho first few rushes they appoared to
bo moro on the defensive Arnold, of
North Bond, played a good game,
and boveral other mombors of tho
team showed up well. Speed, how
over, appears lacking in this body of
mon, who are actually stronger than,
tho Marshfiold team, which apparent
ly shows moro speed and headworlc.
Dlmmlck, Towor, Weaver, Uljo
qvlst, Butlor, and in fact tho whole
Maishflold toam, aro all deserving of
praise. Brown, a now mail In tho
game, caused somo amusement hy
wrangling over small points in tho
roforeo's decisions, but ho (worked
liko a trojan without any training
and helped materially. )
Taking It all round tho gano was
