Jul(f Uray nnd Attorney Cur
tis In Wat of Word.
You're a liar, and a scrub, and a
our, and a dog you're a I 1
-I For two cents, I'd knock your
head off."
Attorney Curtl did not oei-ay any
reply to Judge Ciray' roast. The
belligerents met In the oftlca ot Coun
ty Clerk Wberlty yesterday, and, al
though only language wo shed, a
moat Interesting and entertaining sit
uation reaultitd. Judge Gray unmerci
fully scored Mr. Curt), wblie the at-lorney-edlior
calmly continued hl
search ot the records.
The yuaiT'il betwven the two gen
tlemen occurred over the effort of the
Herald Publishing Company to re
strain the county court from awarj-
Ing the priming contract to the Budg
et and New. Mr. Curtl aucveoded In
getting a temporary Injunction before
Judge McUrlde, and the county court
had prepared and filed dta answer.
One wa a general denial ot all the
allegation In the complaint filed by
Mr. Curtl, while the other set forth
that the county court bod proceeded
regularly. In arguing a demurrer to
tills last pleading, Mr, Curtts devoted
himself to a roast of the county court.
He culled aou-mion to the fact that the
court. In It denial, had dated that it
bud coma to it knowledge that th
lil of subscriber Sled by the Herald
waa fraudulent Mr. Curtl said this
was a revelation, a the opinion waa
general throughout ihe county ibal
the county court bod no knowledge ot
anything; that knowledge waa entirely
foreign to 1ta conduct of affair.
"The Budget ha a large circulation.
and so, also, bo the Astorian," aaid
the attorney; "but the circulation of
the News, to which paper the court
seeks to award the printing contract,
would not make a bustle for a school
girl.'..'
Mr. Curtis continued In this strain
for some time, and hla roast of the
court was ona of the "warmest" ever
delivered in a court in Clatsop. The
Herald won a victory In the suit yes
terday, Judge McBrtde ruling Uiat
the county court erred In awarding
the contract to papers which had
not died their list of subscribers. As
to the allegation of the county court
that the Herald was disreputable and
untruthful and indecent, Judge Mc
llrlde held that thl waa Immaterial.
as the law did not require the official
organ to be reputable or truthful or
decent. The Herald Instituted lta au.lt
by a civil action In the circuit court,
and District Attorney Allen set" up
the contention that the procedure was
Irregular, as the matter should have
been brought up on an appeal from
ihe county court. Judge McBride
was not clear on this point, which la
purely a technicality, and took it un
der advlnement until today. He intl
mated that be thought the matter
should have been brought up on ap
peal. Some feeling ha been en
gendered ov(cr the printing case, and
the proceedings are likely to tw of
mterext.

The first game In the Irving Cltfb-
Commerclol Club series were bowled
at the Commercial Club alley last
night. The home team won all four
games and defeated the vlstora by
l' pin. The Irving Club men werea t
a disadvantage on the alleys, to which
they were not accustomed, th new
tournament men -particularly exper
iencing hard luck. The Commercial
Club bowlers will play at the Irving
Club on Tuesday night.
The feature of last night's contest
was the wonderful work of James D.
Taylor, of the Commercial Club team.
Law scored a slightly better total,
but a big game was expected ot him,
while this waa Taylor' first touma-ttti-nt
work. He secured 194 pins. The
element of luck did not enter Into bis
work, but he earned every pin he got.
Laws scored the best total ever bowl
ed by an Astoria player In any tour
nament, l'A and his 60 was the high
olngle game of the evening. McLean
was high for the visitor, with 117, and
his fiS was the best single game scor
ed on the Irving team. There was but
one poor total on the Commercial
team. For the visitors Hers. Coolldge
and Trulllnger tried hard for . tha
place, Her winning, with 111 fiobb
exptatns for Trulllnger that the latter
had bard luck during the game, a
he repeatedly got the left-hand coiner
while bowling for, the right pin. Cap
tain Astbury, of the Irvtnga, had an
