Counsel Appear Before Judge Ellis and Present Respective Sides. As had previously been announced, the city injunction cases which have been hanging fire since the 6th of January, came up this morning, These are the cases involving the rights of Marshal Heathman and Re corder Beam in acting as city mar shal and recorder. At a meeting of the, now council, after the first of the year they, by a vote of 4 to 4 and the decision of Mayor Hailey against the old incum bents of the offices, declared the of fices of marshal and recorder vacant and proceeded to elect William Lane and Jj. G. Frazier to fill the places by the same vote. This action was taken as Illegal by Heathman and Beam, and they immediately employ ed counsel and injunctions were filed, asking the county court to enjoin the newly-elected men to these places from qualifying as such officers or from in any way attempting to mo lest Heathman and Beam in their duty as such officers, holding and de claring that under the city charter it took a majority vote of tho council to oust any incumbent of these of fices and elect now men and that the mayor has no say whatever in the matter. The plaintiffs also alleged that T. G. Hailey was not mayor, T. B. Wells, Frank B. Clopton, J. R. Dickson were not councilmen, and that the only man who opposed Heathman and Beam who had any right whatever to have a say in the running of the municipal affairs of the city was Councilman Johnson, a hold-over member, thereby attacking the constitutionality of the city char ter which provided that the marshal and recorder should be appointed by the council and not elected by a vote of the people the same as are the councilmen. ,, Tho defendants filed their answer to plaintiffs' and asked that the dis trict court dissolve the injunctions, and the argument of both sides is now being heard. The Arguments. Mayor Hailey was the first on the floor this morning. He read the com plaint and commented on it. He also read many citations of law which bore on the subject and submitted his argument at 10:05. Then Attorney A. D. Stlllman, for tho plaintiffs, took the floor and he occupied the atten tion of the judge until 12 o'clock in reading special cases of law bearing on his side of the question. He again took up the reading and argument when court convened at 1:30 and con tinued It until 2 o'clock, when he yielded the floor to City Attorney Carter, who appeared in behalf of the city. This afternoon, Messrs. Carter, Pierce and Hailey were heard, and the case is yet unfinished. I Ask to see tho Chicago leader hat. Only ?1.50, at Cleaver Bros. Dry Goods Co.

February 14, Saint Valentine's day. The mails were filled this morning with missives of all sorts and descrip tions Bent from those who desired to transmit messages from the court of Cupid, while some of them wore not calculated to convoy thought of ten derness, for they were grotesque and boro suggestions of ridicule and un pleasant fun-making. Probably, tho day was not observed so generally as in the past, although tJie good Saint Valenting has by no means lost pis hold upon the imagination of the youth. Several valentines were sent to the East Oregonian in response to the in vitation, and are hero printed. The best one, according to the decision of the judges, will be given an acknowl edgement of its merit. They are printed under numbers, and are thus submitted to the judges, who will know nothing of tho authors until their verdict of excellence ftn.a been rendered: . Valentine No. 1. Saint Valentine is here once -more, And knocking gently at the door Of lovers' hearts. Mine opens wide, the dear old painter Within now begins to paint A maiden's face. A snow white brow 'neath waves of hair, Brown, but for sunbeams playing there,, And tangled in. A cheek that Cupid's wing has brushed, 'Til like the red, red rose it blushed, He's painting there. Eyes that must tax his skill I know, They are so blue and twinkle so The stars seem dull. Those little ears in hue and tint, To apple blossoms give a hint, To profit by. Describe those Hps! a pen like thlp Is all too weak. They're made to kiss, If I but dared. The portrait finished, Velentine Said, "Young man, make that maiden thine Without delay." "nigh teagerly," my heart replied, "No other maid shall be my bride To thee I vow." My heart's key Cupid brings to you And bids you quickly come to view Your own dear face. Ah, love, if only I might dare To hope you'd let me keep it there, Forevermore. No. 2, Lover's Lane, Bridevllle. Valentine No. 2. This morning found St. Valentine a bandage round his dead, His fingers inky, tumbled hair, just crawling into bed, The floor was strewn with manu scripts, wild were the good saints eyes, In frenzy fine they rolled about; lie growled "Confound that prize," It used to be a simple thing to write a pretty rhyme, Heart, dart; love dove; face, grace, and such were welcomed on a time. And Polly didn't really mind if I rhymed bow with you, And roses red and violets, were quite good form then, too. I used to trim them up with lace and they were just too sweet, (My -oinmisvslon from the parson was always something neat) Of late they haven't seemed to work, and bachelors galore Are roaming round and I've become most scandalously pore And so for dollars paltry I've nado my old brain whirl, A grindin' verses out to suit a twen tieth century girl. And all that I have got to show, for this long night of woe Is a lot of fine beginnings that balk ed and wouldn't go. So if you'll kindly mnll to mo that check for dollars three I'll send it to Eliza, and think, twixt you and me, It will be more effective than verses saccharine, And you can advertise the fact; then we will make a te,am You furnish checks, I send 'em out 'til old maid's disappear, And bridegrooms for the good E. O. will give a mighty cheer. St. Valentine Valentine No. 3. Lady of the smiling eyes, Lady of the golden hair, Could I but hope to win the prize There is no deed I would not dare. Bend but; once those eyes on me, Let but one sweet glance bo mine And this pifro heart that beats for thee, Shall be thy loving valentine. Valentine No. 4. Still gliding onward with our race From prehistoric times and place A saint through many thousand years Today in Pendleton appears. Ho comes to sadden or delight While dropping verses left and right To chide or cheer the dull and gay For this is Valentino's great day. Old crusty bachelors now shall got What thov aro huntlnc fnr v.i And sour old maids with noses bluo onau nave to meet his angor, too. Tho lovesick swain will find relief In tolling someone of his grjef. And she will scarcely miss the chance Of putting him Into a trance. Ho comes from Cupid's realms above, A faithful mercury of love, And carries from his monarch true, Full power of attorney, too. And Mrs. Grundy will not dnro To criticize, nor even staro, So let us all for once comblno And welcome good Saint Valentine. Valentine No. 5. Sweet girl, possessing beauty rare, With eyes of Jet and raven hair, Of matchless grace and form divine, For theo I write this valentine. By Intuition, I am sure, That thou art gentle, kind and pure. And yet thou art unknown to mo, In whom my ideal I sec. So with a hapless lovor's sigh I bow my homage and pass by. Valentine No. 6. Gliding down tho stream of ages, From tho prehistoric line, Known by Druid bards and sages, Comes the good Saint Valentino, To rejuvenate the aged, To electrify the young, As he did in ancient Carthage, As he did when Homer sung. For some heart he bears a flower, For some heart ho bears a thorn, Happy mortal, Cupid's dower, Luckless mortal, Cupid's ZZZ'Z. Vfticre he comes from -no one know eth. .. B"t his' mission is sublime, "Thou shalt reap but what thou bow eth," Is a maxim old as time. Let the loved one take his treasure With a glad and grateful heart, And the loveless his displeasure As of his deserts a part. Give him welcome, then, good people, And for mail fall into line, And let bells from each church steeple Ring "All Han. St. Valentine." CRASHED TOGETHER WRECK DELAYED LAST NIGHT'S SPQKANE TRAIN. Occurred Near Rockford, Washington Two Passengers Hurt Slightly. The train duo at G:20 p. m., from Spokane, was delayed two hours on Thursday ovoning, by a wreck that occurred at Rockford, 'a station 20 miles this side from Spokane. Two engines were smashed, one of two cars crushed, and two passongers in jured, although not severely. It was a head-end collision, and tho wonder is great that no one was killed. Tho collision was caused by a switchman failing to throw the switch, and this sent the Portland-Spokane train into the Pendleton-Spokane train which stood on a siding. The moving train was going slowly, which is the ex planation of the fact that tr6 wag little damage. The paBfl(mgers were badly BhnBn Up and frightened.
