Seattle. Wash., May 23. In Its
most virulent form, the fleet-madness
which has 'raged as an epidemic in
the cities of the California coast to
day seized Seatle in its grasp and
transformed the populace augmented
by thousands of visitors. Into a fair
imitation of an army of howling der
vlshes.
All day yesterday and early this
morning the trains and boats poured
sightseers Into the city In an ever
Increasing flood that threatens to
swamp the hospital provisions of
Seattle's houses of entertainment.
The rush for places of vantage to
witness the Incoming of the. fleet be
gan early and continued until the
great fighting ships poked their noses
into Elliott bay, to be welcomed by
a pandemonium of cheers and boom
ing guns and shrill, Jubilant whistles
from the craft in the harbor, taken
up and echoed by myriad whistles in
factory and mill. .
Two great merchant vessels, bear
ing the reception committee of the
Seattle chamber of commerce, the
mayor of Seattle, the governor of
Washington and executive officials of
all the states and leading cities of the,
northwest, headed the line of scores
of craft that welcomed the flee. Gov
ernor Mead and Mayor Miller ex
tended to the officers and men of the
fleet the freedom of the state and
the city, and Admiral Thomas was
presented with a large key of purest
Alaskan gold.
This evening the officers of the
fleet will be given a reception by the
chamber of, commerce, and the en
listed men will be the guests of the
city fire department at a grand ball
at Leschl Park pavilion, at which
gome of the fairest daughters of the
Pacific northwest will dance with the
gallant tars of Uncle Sam's nnvy.
Tomorrow special services will be
held In all churches for the tars of
religious proclivities, and the others
will not lack entertainment, even, let
It be whispered, If their desires should
take the form of Indulgence In the
cup that cheers.
Next week's entertainment will
open with a great land parade that
will be one of the spectacular and
most thrilling features of the demon
stration In' this city attendant upon
the present visit of the Atlanlo bat
leshlp fleet. Sixteen thousand uni
formed men marching to the music
of 4 0 bands, between double lines of
several hundred thousand people, will
furnish the greatest military spectacle
ever seen In the northwest.
A particularly brilliant feature of
the parade will be the immense re
viewing stand at Second avenue and
Stewart street, before which the
marching men will salute the high of
ficials of the army and navy, the gov
ernors of Washington, Oregon, Idaho,

Erlm Man Felled to the Ground by
Blow on Head and Relieved of $21
and Gold Wntcl Crime Committed
In Sltadow of Alta House Police
Notified Immediately But Search in
Vain for Perpetrators of Brutal
Holdup.
To be knocked on the head and rob
bed of $21 and a watch was the fate
that befell R. W. Jewett of Echo, last
night and ilie crime constitutes the
most brutal holdup that has occurred
In this city for several years.
Shortly after 11 o'clock last night
Jewett was on East Alta street and
when attacked was In the shadow of
the Alta house. According to his
story two men approuched him and
one of them struck him a blow upon
the head that rolled him to the
ground They then went through his
pockets, taking a purse containing
$2 1.10 and his watch. The purse was
engraved with the name of J. F. Jew
ctt.
Badly Dazed.
Though badly dazed by the blow
Jewett was not knocked Insensible
and as soon as the robbers had left
him he arose and hurried down town
to notify tho police. He found Offi
cer Kearney at once and to him told
the story of the outrage.
Jewett was able to give a fairly
good description of the two men and
the night officers at once took up the
search. A half hour later two men
were found that answered the de
scrlptlons. However, upon Inves
ligation It was found that they could
not have committed the crime and
they were released. Up to this time
no further arrests have been made ano
with the meagre Information the po
lice have It may be Impossible to catch
the men.
Jewett, so it Is said, was partly in
toxicated at the time of the robbery,
and there Is a theory that, he was
followed and robbed by two men who
had seen him earlier In tho evening
and spotted him as an easy victim.
For several weeks there have been
many idle men about the city and ac
cording to Chief of Police Gurdane,
the crowd contains more of the crim
inal class than ever before In the
sea of bright colored summer costumes' past. In view of the presence of
and striking hats of the women who I these men it Is not surprising that a

of his life as a resident of Umatilla

Bailey, Halleray & Redfleld. Some
thing like 10 years ago he moved to
Heppner and while there has been in
partnership with S. P. Van Vactor.
At the time of the Heppner flood
the wife and daughter of the deceased
were killed, Mr. Redfleld being In
Portland at that time.
Three years ago he was married
to Miss Nell Cameron of this city,
who survives him.
. Aside from his wife tho deceased

First Sale Scheduled for Branca
lino Terminus.
Because the buyers refused to bid
more than half the sum that was paid
for their clips last year the wool sala
scheduled for Arlington this after
noon was called off In despaJr.
According to a 'phone message re
ceived by the East Oregonlan from
Arlington this afternoon 700,000
pounds of wool were offered for sale
but the bids submitted ranged only
from 1-4 cents to 8 3-4 cents. All
bids were rejected.
Last year the Gilliam county fleeces
sold for double the prices offered to
day and sheepmen are at a loss to
account for the terrible slump. It is
said that the Gilliam wool could have
been sold earlier in the season for
higher figures than those offered to
day. When he learned of the bids ten
dered at Arlington, Dan P. Smythe,
secretary of the Woolgrowers' asso
ciation, expressed much astonishment
and predicted that the Umatilla coun
ty wool will be held unless the buyers
offer higher prices here.
Local Sale Monday.
The first wool sales day for this
city is set for Monday and everything
is now in readiness for that event.
Thousands of pounds of wool are now
stored at the Furnish warehouse, and
will serve as sample clips at the sale
Monday.
On the day following the sale here
there will be one held at Pilot Rock
and it will be the first time a sale has
ever been held in that town.
Among Umatilla county growers
the sale at Arlington has been awaited
with Interest, for the sale there marks
the opening of the wool market this
season. Though the Gilliam count?
clips do not bring the prices that are
usually paid here, the figures at Ar
lington are some criterion as to what
will be given In Pendleton.
