Wblstlos blew,s horns - tooted, bells

teeter-board screeched and ; organs

Sara groaned, tinpans pounded. voices
hummed, children piped, pop-corn whis
tles shrilled, , lemonade glasses tinkled,
hurdy-gurdies ; grated, new shoes
SQueaked, tloors groaned, money, flew,
and the bands played V'Annle Rooney.
And RiMh a fair as It wael . When, the
last whistle sounded and the last nota
of the hurdy-gurdies died away In agon
ized and agonising shrieks, it was only
because the magic hour . of midnight had
arrived and respect for the threatened
closed 8unday held the fair authorities
firm, so doors were closed, lignts were
put out and blinds .wefe drawn and the
county , fair was at an end.
Some of the visitors at that fair un
doubtedly arose early in the morn-ing be
fore the sun was up to make ready to
come to that fair. '' That Is a safe guess,
. anyway, in Oregon. Their linen dusters
and the draggled flowers on the coun
try ladies' hats showed the stains of
trlvel over country roads. . Togged out
In their Sunday best, they had come
to town to see the fair-and they were
going to enjoy it to their fill. Coun
try women In odd looking shawls-and
odder bonnets, clung desperately to the
arms of bewhiskered and bedustered
farmers who hurried them through.: the.
eager throngs. ,
Crowds Are TjrplesL .
The crowd was a typical one. Moth
ers dragged children about by the arms;
men stumbled aver each otber while gaz
ing at the wonders above; red-headed po
licemen wandered about displaying their
tiny stars proudly, but always In a
peaceful section; pickpockets and after-the-manner-born
Bill Sykses and Nances
" and Llxsles piled their trade on the
greenhorns. But this was a peaceful
holdup game. The sums taken were
large, but the refined art of torture pro
longed the agony and drew out fives,
tens and twenties by the nickel and the
dime.
Hers one could see an old ' Indian
squaw who drew a "Jeering crowd of
Spectators as she danced her weird steps
a crowd that turned immediately when
aha held out her hand at its close; there
one could see a pretty group of dairy-
maids singing merrily at their work and
interspersing It with a pretty dance.
Over there was an old colored woman
who did her cake-walk steDs to an ad'
miring throng. Here, there and every
where were popcorn men, candy-on-the-stick-men,
peanut vendors, lemonade
girls, ics cream cone maidens, learning
the gentle holdup game. Handsome
black-eyed Italians wheeled their or
gans and pianoa, went through the
throng and played to the passers-by,
glancing with fiery eyes at the men
who stopped to admire the blacker eyed
girls who begged for coins.
Offer Gold Watch.
In one corner the promise of a gold
watch for the lucky fishermen hired
many an unreal looking farmer where
glittering but indigestible fish were
kept afloat. In, another the fortune tell
ers piled their trade untouched by the
cry of faker. Mysterious looking tents
concealed headless ladles, dancing mon
strosities, and various wonderful myths,
whom only the magto dime would make
visible, A German garden ' tempted
many to get a tarte Of the "Vaterland."
And off from the main thoroughfare was
a retreat for the country people who
had reached the higher plane. , The art
gallaty of famous paintings collected
from all over the world was open to
their. intellectual enjoyment and there
they could go to feast their eyes and
repeat by note the phrases, "clear
perspective," "good atmosphere, "under
tones" and "high-lights." as found in
the women's department of the last
weekly newspaper.
Soma of the Oamss.
And there were the see-saw and the
swings, and the merry-go-rbunds which
afforded a much Joy to the grown folk
as-to the children. Sweethearts fond
ly clasped each other about the waists
as they rlipibed upon a festive cow
with trappings of purple and gold. An
adoring youth would unceremoniously
, .push the "profesh" from his place and
seating within the swing the blushing
Jady of his choice, would proceed to
transport her skyward.
But all 'too soon the afternoon, wore
Into evening, and the evening into
night,: and the night into early morn
ing and as the cries of the milkman
sounded faintly1 in the distance the
market place was quickly emptied and
the pleasure seeking crowd went home
to ..dream happily over this gala vent
At least ine gins HJ. nut some men
woefully turned out empty pockets- to
the breeses , and wandered ', homeward,'
not to dream but to plan to fill tip
that hole. the fair had made. -.--.
And some others were not dreaming
either, though, the 'sums of money as
they, swelled in their hands seemed
almost too (rood' to be true. The of
ficers of the People's Institute rubbed
their, eyes , once w see - If they were
awake, . but having satisfied themselves
on that score . they lost no time In
hastening their money Into safe- keep
ing, nut a number or tueir dreams
will come true when they begin to
spend this Institute money . for long
cherished wants. And ' to Mrs. Henry
Ladd Corbett who originated the plan
and who brought Into-it so much un
failing enthusiasm' and untiring work
went much praise- and -many thanks.
Art Oallsry Crowded.
f The -art gallery was crowded In the
afternoon and as so many children
were in attendance pictures that were
of especial Interest to them were
shown. Prominent business nouses ex
hibited 1 the pictures which had - been
painted to advertise their trade.- Mrs.
Francis James Bailey and Miss Mary
Montgomery were in charge of the pic
tures and assisting them to care for
the treasures were: Mrs. William

of John A." Seabury, arrived in the city
yesterday accompanied by his father.
Together father and son walked from
Prlnevllle to The Dalles. 13$ miles, in
7 days. The little lad Is as chipper and
wiry and strong as a chap could well
be and bears no signs of having dona
anything deleterious to his rugged
health.
"We walked because we were broke,"
said Mr. Seabury. "The boy has been
accompanying me on long Jaunta afoot
ever since he was S years old, and there
is' never a whimper tn him. When ne
was years old he walked 30 miles in
one day, and 94 miles in four and one
half days. Long distance walking is
his strong forte. This Journey was
one of the worst we have - had, as th
roads were in bad . condition and we
trudged through mud, snow and rain."
Mr. Seabury is endeavoring to hold
down a homestead B ' Crook county,
and is looking for work. He is a news-
aper man by profession and has lately
een associated with the San Francisco
Call.

alyzed me'for an Instant, and then I
rushed, intuitively toward th telegraph
role against which Carmack was back
n. . y -
"As I rushed between them Carmack's
Slstol exploded In mv fare and a shot
it me in the neck. A second struck my
left coat sleeve, and I saw Carmack
standing sideways, but facing me, his
pistol aimed at me. I drew my revol
ver, and fired three times as fast as I
Could.- Then I stopped.
"Senator Carmack's knees seemed to
rive way. He reeled and fell toward the
gutter.
"I heard father say something about
a coward hiding behind a woman's
skirts after Senator earmark had drawn
his revolver. I was k under a terrific
nervous strain, but I am certain tip
to that time father had not drawn a
pistol. Father did not say, 'Now I
nave you.' or. 'I've got the drop on you.'
-fter I had fired I leaned against the
telegraph pole. I told father I waa
wounded. ,
"As we were leaving; for the sena
tor . I saw Mrs. Eastman and an old
man back up on the yard of the Polk
flats."
Robin Cooper put on his bullet
pierced clothing and Identified them as
the clothing he wore at the time of
the killing. A bullet found in the hos
pital was Introduced as evidence,, but
Robin Cooper said he could not iden
tifr It as the one that hit him.
An X-ray picture taken during the
morning did not show a bullet in Robin
Cooper's shoulder. From this it is ar
gued by the defense that the bullet
found was the one that hit the young
man. The bullet is lead, of .38 cali
ber, the caliber of Carmack's gun.
Robin Cooper denied he had ever
cursed Carmack. "I only knew him by
sight,'' he said, "and had no real un
friendly feelings toward him."
He will be croBS-examined Monday,
