Salvation Army Man Tries to Drown . , a Boy and Knifes a Man That Cornea ti thn Reru. f An enraged member of tbe Salvation Army nearly drowned a boy and carved j the arm of a man at the merry-go-round now in operation on College street, bbtween Court and Water, Taesday afternoon, says the Pendleton Tribune. The boy was Jimmie Froome, son of Q. I. Froome; the liveryman, and the man whose limb was iojured is A. Phil- -lips, who is employed at the " tnerryga round. , It seems that the Froome lad, who is 12 vears old, was joking the Salvationist, and the latter became so crazed that he grabbed the boy and shoved his bead into a barrel of water, holding it there until he was nearly strangled. Phillips went to the rescue, and succeeded in sav ing young Froomes's life, but the man of religion turned on him and drawing a dnife slashed Phillips' arm, the knife in some places reaching to the bone. The assailant then mounted a wheel and dashed away, going down Court street, and then out into the country. All officers throughout the county have been notified and it is thought the man will be captured. He is described as being quite tall, rather heavy and wear ing a mustache, is about middle age and slightly bald. Give up the Contest. For several days the election contest case of M E. Swan vs. Frank Geddes, over the office of county clerk of Baker county, has been before Judge Eakin in Baker City. A sensation was sprung by William Smith, Eq., on behalf of his client, Swan, asking that the case be dismissed, and that the defendant, Frank Geddes, bs declared to be legally entitled to the office of county clerk of Baker county for tbe ensuing term. The court granted this motion, making thus in effect an order which placed Mr. Geddes in charge of the county clerk's office on Tuesday. Tbe Democrat says if this move had not been taken Swan would have been declared elected, as in tbe recount he had been given more votes than his op ponent. Mr. Swan says be had to make the move as the report bad reached his ears that some "manipulation" had been carried on in his interests which be knew nothing of at the time it was com mitted and which he in no wise counte nanced.

Harry BeatheV tlrerjeaag .herder who take! care of Weston'a town cow'air ticipated the Fourth of July Wednesday morning by rashly exploding a fire cracker, and is now in bed. The explo sion was premature while young Beatbe was holding the cracker near his face, and the contents struck him in the inner corner of the right eye, inflicting a pain ful injury.

George luhnson, the old gentleman who attempted suicide three weeks ago by taking a quantity of cedar oil, is really an object of pity, for he is ill both mentally and physically and should bs cared for by tbe authorities. At times his mind is in a lucid condition, but often be complains of a pain in tbe head and says bis brain seems to be evaporat ing. His only mania, so far as the Eagle can learn, is self-destruction .and he may succeed in ending his life at any time if he is permitted to go without restraint. SHOOTING AT LA GRANDE. Two Men Quarrel Over a Love Affair, One Is Wounded and a Horn is Killed. A shooting affray occurred at La Grande July 4 that resulted in the wounding of a man and the killing of a horse. Afued existed between Cbas. Gray, of Cove, and Albert Ohms, of Island City, that had its origin in a love affair a year ago, when tbe men bad a quarrel and became bitter euemies. They quarrelled again at tbe Fourth of July celebration, but were separated without serious results. But later in the day, as Ohms was riding along the street, Gray suddenly appeared from a livery stable and began shooting Ohms, who was reported unarmed, spurred his horse into a run, but one bullet struck bis leg, inflicting a flash wound, and entering the body of the horse, that dropped dead after running 200 yards farther. Gray escaped for a time, but was ar rested Tuesday at bis home near Cove and taken to La Grande. WINKLE'S HOUSE DESTROYED. Total Loss Wi h Its Contents Before the Fire Team Gets There. Attorney J. T, Hinkle's house on tbe hill back of St. Joseph's academy in Pendleton was burned to the ground with most of its contents Tuesday night. It caught from the flue and before it was discovered it was well under headway. Water facilities were poor, and although Mr. Hinkle and his neighbors worked hard the flames could not bs checked. In some manner the door of the en gine house was left open and the fire team when let loose escaped into the streets. It tuoh some time for tbe bos men to corral the horses, and ; by the time the company reached the grounds they could do nothing. Tbe loss is placed by Mr. Hinkle at $1200, with $300 insurance on tbe house and a small amount on the contents in George Rosenberg's company. A CHANCE FOR HAY. Oregon Product Brings $30 a Ton in Eastern California. , Tbe hay which Willamette vallev farmers are glad to sell California im porters at $ 10 a ton this summer brings $30 a ton at San Luis Obispo, Cal. So says Angelo Thomas, who has fust ar rived from Paso Robles with his family and is at the Burr hotel, says the Port land Telegram. He draws a dismal picture of tbe con ditions now existing at San Luis Obispo, and says that only an inch and a half of rain has fallen there for the last year. The Tain planted last fall grew only to a height of a inch or so and then withered, This was in December. "What will people do who are cauaht in such a country?" a reporter asked Mr. Thomas, "Well, everybody that can will leave. Those who have property there and no means of getting away will have to stay and hope for early rains in the fall which will give them heart to try another year." , Only the favored few who csn par 130 a ton for hay can afford to keep horses or cows. Manv of these animaia hv been killed or given away to prevent their starving to death. Dry seasons, however, not expected to come in pairs. and Californians are hanging on in great hope for next year. Prof. Mitchell Defended. After the election of Prof. F. M. Mitch ell, of Albany, as principal of the Weston public school, certain charges against his character were brought to the at tention of tbe directors. He was accused, it appears, of immorality and of being an occasional inebriate. The board has since carefully investigated these charges, and has received numerous letters from Albany Id response to its Inquiries. These all defend and exoner ate Mr. Miu-hel1, who ia endorsed in letters from all the county officers and prominent business men and educational people. Among thera the eu pet intend ed of Linn county says that be is highly recommended as a teacher and as a man wherever he is known. The directors bave held no meeting as yet, but it is thought probably that in view of these credentials tbe election of Mr.. Mitchell will cot be reconsidered Weston Leader. SHOT IN THE HEAD.

THE 4THIH ATHEHA Pleasant Hour Sj ent Cool .Shadef " INTERESTING PROGRAM Athena's Celebration a Great Round of Success. Everybody bad a good time at the celobration in iAtbena Monday. While the number of people were prehaps not as many as gathered here last year, there were enough to have a .royal good lime, acd they had it. The grounds were 'beautifully deeort ated in flags and bunting, and Main street presented a pleasing appearance. The decorations sf the liberty car and floats were attractive, and more so be cause of ;the beauty of the many little girls grouped along side the long car. In the center stood Miss Eloise Hunt ington, representing the goddess of liberty. The procession started from the city hs!l promptly at 10 o'clock, ft was headed by the Athena band. Next fol lowing was the liberty car with its load of beauty. Following this, drawn by the finest team of horses in Umatilla county, came the float, representing the battleship Oregon. Riding on it were a number of boys wearing marine caps and red blouses. This float was the most elaborate ever before seen in this city. It looked J very much like a for midable warship, and was built by Prof. D. V. S. Reid and J. B. Huntington, assisted by others, but to the above named gentlemen the moat of the credit for being shipbuilders should be given. Mr. Jas. Stamper painted the float. Miss Stella Wlllaby was fire queen and rode the beautifully decorated truck of Huok & Ladder Oo. No. 1. The city officials, speaker of the dsy, and citizens in carriages and on foot also took part in the parade,- waiob ... went up Main strees to Fifth, up Fifth and down Third to tbe grove. Arriving at the grove a most Interest ing program was rendered. inclodincr vocal and instrumental music, declama tions, etc. , Hon. H. S. Blanford. of Walla Walla. delivered tbe oratioo, and Mayor W, E. xoung presided. Mr. Blanford. who is a well known attorney of the Garden City, more than pleased Athena people with his masterly and interesting ad dress. The news came of American success at Santiago, and of the Oregon boya' safe arrival at Manila, and there fore the people were wrought to a high pitch of' patriotism, and were just in the right mood to crave and relish an elo quent and patriotic speech. They got it. As the eloquent words flawed from the orators lips they called fourth cheers and applause from assembled people time and again-many times interrupting and stopping the speaker in his address. Mr. Blanford is an orator, and Athena is proud that she has the honor to have heard him. . . Taken all in all, Athena's celebration this year was a success. The greased pole was climbed j tbe greased pig was caught ; races were won and lost and dancing ran far into the night. Every one seemed to enjoy himself, and seein- eu giaa that he was with us on our national holiday. The Races. The fast bicycle race was won by young Long of Pendleton. The second prize was not awarded. Will McCollum won tbe 100 yard foot race. Bert Flory came out second beet. The potato re.ee was contested very closely by Earl .Saunders and Bert Flory. So close that they divided tbe prize. , The hurdle race was won br a vounsr man from Weston. Tbe sack race was won by Earl Saunders, who makes a very good hand In a sack. Climbing the greased pole caused much 'amusement. Mr. Roberts, from Weston, was the lucky man. The fat man's race was won by Cbas. Brotherton. Tbe boys race was won by Jease My rick. Ths Francis Willard Fountain. The Francis Willard memorial foun tain of the W. 0. T. U. arrived Tuesday morning and will , be erected at the corner of Court and Main streets within a few days, says the East Oregonian. Ths fountain is seven feet in height and will be a splendid ornament to the city. It Is in the form of a canopy, supported by four pillars. The bsse of the foun tain is made of fluted iron which sup ports the pool. From the center of tbe canopy ia hung the faucet which will furnish water to the thirsty public.
