At Wallowa Friday afternoon, Rev.
E. J. Moore, who has bjen active in
enforcing the Sunday closing law, bat
tered up V. li. Wilherell, keeper of a
soft drink shop and pool room, in trout
of the hitter's place of business. It is
claimed bv Moore's friends that With-
eri ll al used Moore as he was passing
and then struck I im. Moore got the
better of the encounter. E. C. Heiry
interferred und struck Moore. All the
parties were arrested. Marshal McXi:tt
laid a charge of disturbing the peacu
against both principals and each
pleaded guilty and paid a lino of 85
each, . Witherell and Ben y came to
Enterprise and swore out a warrant
before Justice Smith against Moore on
charge of assault with brass knuckles, a
pair of w hich the pieacher used in the
fight. This charge was withdrawn
Monday, as it was agreed by all hands
to " let the affair quiet down. Hev.
Moore also withdrew charges of
of assault he made before Reoordor
Tulley against Witherell and Berry.
K C. Berry states that Moore was
the verbal aggressor in the affair, 'and
that he (Berry) interferred when he
saw Moore UBing the knuckles. Berry
also claims the blow he gave Moore
stoppid the fight.
Fight at Joseph.
J. M. Mitchell and J. P. Rusk had a
personal encounter on the streets of
Joseph Sunday afternoon. It is claimed
Rusk was struck several times by Mit
chell, and knocked down once, ond
then "Jerry" took o!F his l'Ui-s-i; - nd
waded in, giving Mitchell
beating. Mitchell, who is iti
man. was one of four who were aiTi-su-d
on a charge of playing poker l.i.-t wo. k
on warrants sworn out by Rusk, who
is deputy district attorney'. ' .'
Both men were arrested, Mitchell

Throw g?8 at Treacher.
Rev. F. W. Batcheldcr. wtio was con
ductins a revival meeting nt Finn, ;i
egged after his sermon -on Dancini;, a
week ago last Sunday night. II is
claimed his language whs unlit for the
pulpit and certain citizens took that
method of expressing their disapproval.
W. C. Moore, who was in the church,
said in Enterprise this week, that the
sermon was a string of indecent stories
unlit to be repeated in a company of
men, let alono a church crowded with
women and girls. The expressions that
Moore charges Batcheldcr used are nn
fit toprir.t. It is said that about five
dozen eggs wt re thrown at the preacher,
but were badly aimed as Mr. Btitchelder
Is reported us claiming only four eggs
struck him. Mr. Moore lays it is un
known who threw the eggs.

Signs of 0. R. & N.
Resuming Work
J. E. Patterson of this city, who bad
just started on his sub-contract from
Ericksoii & Peterson for clearing and
leveling the depot grounds here last
fall when the suspension order came.
has received a letter from Chief Engl-
loer Buschke of the O. H. & N., In
regard to resuming the same work
under the direction of the railroad
construction department. The letter
asked for terms of workmen, teams,
superintendence, etc.
A special, from La Grande to the
News Record states that the O. R. fe
N. concrete mixer has been brought
then from the Riparia-Lewlston
bridge over the Clearwater, and the
presumption is that it is in readiness
to begin work ou the abutments of the
permanent bridge over the Grande
Konde at the mouth of the Wallowa.
The bridge over Cabin creek below
Elgin, washtd out last week, has been
replaced and a train .of logs for the
Palmer lumber mill went through
Elgin Thursday.
There is general belief In railroad
circles both at I.a Grande and Elgin
that work on the Josenh extension
will be resumed In a few weeks.

difficulty iu solving his curves, but he
made a big mistake when be sent a
slow one up to Irvin French. ' The lit
