Daring tbe afternoon a ball game took place between tbe Indiana and whites, but the former were out classed, and tbe exhibition was not aa oojoyable aa it might bare been. However, the crowd at tbe park were ntertalod with several borse rnoea, a well aa with a bucking couteat. Tbe band rendered a number of se lection la frout of Hotel Lakvlew during the afternoon, while tbe aaok, relay, tbree legged, etc., raoea were contested on water atreet and were witnessed bf a large crowd. Tba re port of tbe big fight, which wit re ceived by wire, also proved a draw ing card, and tbero waa sure some thing d"iug every minute. Young Keene won tbe luO yard race, wblle Cooper, Stirkman, Kes aod Combs won the relay race arouod tbe Court House Biiiere, tbeir time being 3? 2 5 .second. Wbat proved a big drawing card whs the Indian village wbluli estab lished on the High School site in the Sherlock addition. There were a large number of Indians present, probably 300, and tbe festivities oiioi menced Saturday evening aud con tlnued uut'l Wodunsday. All parts of tbo country were represented some uoming from Klamath agency on the west aud others from Reno en the Mouth wblle Fort Uldwell bad a big delegation preseut. The numerous games of chauce were well patiouizeil, and one unusual thing Is that all the lndlaua must Lave been losers, for no one was pointed out as a winner but the los ers were very uuuieruus. Tbe automohila parade was the fea ture of the celebration. Col. F.

NEW PINE CREEK 0BSERVEH01TH GOOD PROGRAM WELL RENDERED Excellent Order Observed and Festivities En Joyed by All To tbe Bdltor: Aa the 134th anni verssry of our great Nation baa come and gone, 1 think it proper to tell you how tbe good citizens of New Pine Creek received, enjoyed and passed tbe day. In tbe first place the people assembled in a beautiful grove, and reminded one of tbe say ing of long ago. "tbe groves were God's Brut temples, etc. A nice plat form was arranged, upon wb'ch the Choir stood and sang that ever dear song to every loyal Amerioau, "My County Tls of Thee," After which Invocation was offered bv Rev. G. D. King, Psstor of the Christian Church, lu New Pine Creek. Tbe oration was well delivered and showed that mucb thought bad beeu given to the subject. Next was a recitation by Miss Elsie Keller: "Hall Columbia Ilappr Land" by Joseph Hopklusou. Miss Keller ap peared in her ueuall bappy mood, aud charmed the audience with her gen tle manners, her graceful gestures and elocutionary powers. One thing uoticeably, worthy of mention, is that: When the time came to call tbe audience to order, the pluce was a live with shooting lire crackers, talking, laughing, and hav ing a good ttmo generally. But when the Marshal rapped for order, every tbiug was quiet. He asked thn boys not to shoot any more tire crackers, uutll the program was over. Aud to the honor of tbe boys, aud all the rest, I wish to say, there waa not a tire cracker heard, nor auy loud talking uutll the program was couiplted The littie girl's Flag drill conduct bd by Mrs. Cora Kirkpatrlok, (than whom to govern , and Instruct child ren, tbero Is noue better,) waa the moiit Interesting scene of the day, Then came that beautiful snug.

Harrcll for the killing of Walter Newell will probably take place tomorrow, the Grand Jury having returned an indictment charging him with murder in the first degree. It is rumored that when Harrell is called to1 plead he will plea by confession, in which case it will devolve upon the court to determine the degree of guilt. It is a very unusual procecdure, and but one similar case has been found as a precedent. That was a California case, and was upheld in a decision by Justice Field in 18G7. There the correctness of the procecdure, and should Harrell enter a plea as reported, it will be necessary forjudge Noland to pronounce sentence after hearing the testimony in the case. Judge Noland arrived from Kla math Falls Thursday evening and Friday convened tbe adjourned May term of Circuit Court for Lake couo ty. Tbe graod jury waa called for Tuesday, aod tbe first indictment re turned was that against lko N. U ar ret for killing Walter Newell. It Is uodsistoud tho killing of Herbert will bo WA la- obey eooe awalilng the out come of tbo Brst Indictment. Harrell appeared io Court Wedoea day morning to answer to the charge, and ho waa Riven until 10 o'clock Thursday to plead, Tboa. F Fairell appearing as his attorney. In the afternoon a motion waa made by Mr. Farrell to correct the reoords of tbe Court in order to abow that the Court did not adjourn to any speci fied date. Tbe question of whether or not tbe court ia In session seems to bo a mooted one, and Mr. Farrell. is laying the foundation for an appeal. lo Freeman on Judgements it is held: "Every term oontinuea until the call of tbo next sudoeediog term, unless previously adjourned elne die Tbo same dootrioo has been upheld by tbe Oregon Supreme Court and a number of authorities sustain tbe same dootrine There la no question as to the in tention of tbe Court in adjourning as there waa mucb unfinished bust ness to be considered, as well as tbe taot that the Grand Jury did not make a final report as it was await ing other unfinished business which came the Union Dinner, no use to try to explain its adaptability to tbe occasion , like mnav good things, it is better felt tbau told. The crowd theu retired to tbe Diamond to wit ness a ball "ame, iu which California lioked Oregon, to the tune of 0 to 6. After the ball game were foot races, in which ail, men, women and chil dren heartily, eugagea. Tbe Pine Creek women can out run any other womon in sither Orvgou or Calif or nia. If you doubt it, just come aud get up a race. In the evening, the youug people, believing that tbe Fourth of July without a danua, was dull and monotonous, assembled at tbe Hall, an 1 there tripped tbe light fantastic toe until low twelve, when all retired to eugagt In the muses of nooturual slumber wblle somber still ness reigned Bupreuta. Mr. and Mrs. Mnlkey were awarded tbe prize as tbe Dost aud most graceful daucera. G. D. K. A Sane Fourth I.akeview bad a sane fourth. Fire works of all kinds weie tal.ooed. and the averago youngster was according ly iu sore distress. Ahlstrotn liros. did the graud by donatiug tbeir stock of fireworks for exhibition in the evening. U was due to their liberali ty that tbe very excellent display of fireworks took place. Alturas Shooting Scrape Mod oo Republican: A (hooting affttlr occurred in Alturas last Sunday ACTION POSTPONED appears to be no question of womd be considered at some rate prior to tbe neit regular term. When Court convened this morn log a large crowd waa prsseot. inolud tag o number of ladles. Harrell ap peared cloaay shaved io do way seemed to realized bis terrible situation. Ha appeared utterly unooncerned aod f deseaaor woald toad on to ba lls ve that he was slmplyv"nnAoae ed as to results. When tbe Court announced that the time for Harrell to plead bad ai rived, Thoa . F. Farrell arose aod r e newed bis motion of yesterday to cor rect the records. He also moved to set aside tbe indictment - on the grounds that tho Court la not In ses sion, and tbe indictment therefor of no force or effect oo account of not adjourning tbo regular May term to a specified date. Tbe Examiner went to press before tbo Court had ruled upon tbo mo tions, but owibg to the fact that the questions raised have previously re ceived tbo attention of tbo Court, it ia considered certain that all motions tending to delay tbe trial will bo over ruled, and tbat Harrell will make his plea tomorrow morning. An Indictment was returned againBt Joseph Star for selling liquor to aa Indian. Starr plead guitly. and was sentenced this morning to pay a fine of ftiO or serve 30 days in the coun ty jail. In tbe divorce case of Rebart vs. Kebait a decree was eotered for the plaintiff. night, which might hae terminated seriously. The participants in the atfair were Dave Cannon and Frank Ryan. It seems that an old score bad been standing between tbe partici pants for some time. The quarrel was reopened when they met in a saloon and finally teminated in a personal eucounter. During tbe melee Mr. Cannon drew a 22 oal. revolver and emptied the oonteuts at Mr. Ryan. Five shots took effect. One bullet plowed through the face two entered the chest and two struck Ryan in tbe back. The bullets have been removed aud the wounded man is out and around. Both men are released from jail. Mr. Cannou's bail, was fixed at $300 which be immediately secured and wss released. Wrong: Name Used In the appointment of tbe new postmster at Lakeview it appears au error waa made in the name, Fred C. Ablstrom having ,beeu uoiuinated aod confirmed. Iuasuiuch as there is no individual of thrt name so far as kuowu, it is likely more or less red tape will have to be unwound befoie tbe new postmaster assumes office. Elmur C. Ablstrom applied for the position but in some unaccountable manner the uame of Fred was substi tuted for tbat of Elmer. Fred O. Ahlstroro i well known here, rmlno in tbo Mercantile business as well as treasurer of Lake County, but bis middle Initial prevents him frour qualifying: aa postmaster. Mi. AM storm received tbo blank bond from Washington, tbo amount affixed being $16,000. Inasmuch as tbe bond wss to be Oiled lo without alteration or erasure at aoy time, a atatement will be attached to tho bond setting forth tbe error lo oame, and to tbat atste meot Postmaster Miller will cer tify tbat Elmer C. Ablstrom waa the npplicsnt for tbe position and whom was presomably tbe intention of the Pretldeot to name. Juit wbat artion tbe Department will take re mains to be seen. Local Option Rally A local option rally waa held at tbe court house Sunday, at which were present a large gathering of the people of Lakeview aod vicinity. Addresses were made by W. T. Creraler and A. K. Wyle, of Cedarville., Rev. G. J. U'eutzell, of Lakeview and others. Special mnsic was provided, aod very enthusiastic meetings were held In tbe morning, afternoon and even ing. Thos far the local option campaign has not waged with very mucb vigor, but there is yet plenty of time to torn the dogs of war loose, and doubtless before election day rolls around tho fight will bo warm eooogn to suit tho most fastidious.

JACK JOHNSON NEW CHAMPION JEFF GETS HIS IN FIF TEENTH ROUND BATTLE IS SAD AFFAIR Former Champion Out Generated, Outfought and Outboxed RENO, Ner. July 5. -Jack Johnson knocked out James J. Jeffries in tbo fifteenth round of a fight io which ha proved tho better man durlog tba whole contest. Perhaps it was because tba yoathf ul stamina waa lacking, perhaps a pieoo of lock; at any rU. Jek Jobosoa stands forth tba greatest heavy weight pugilist io tbo world. There ia none to dispute his title, unless it ia Sam Langfcrd. Johnson showed tho greater speed. strength, judgement and skill. Jeffries lost everything he showed in his training tba moment ha en tered tbo ring. Why ho should go to pieces tbe moment ho ootered tbo ring ia a pbychologicaj question, bat , all his trainers say be did so, and lost all save his srit. Than Johnson's leit awing to tbo right eye in tho second round waa a lucky punch, because it not only closed tbo right optic, but paralyzed tbo sympathetic nerve of Jeff 'a left eye, and eauisd Jeff to see doable, "I woald see two' John son 'a awing; one woald mlo and tbo other one woald bit me," said Jeff ries. Twenty thousand persona crowded up too inclines ot aa Immense amphi theatre yesterday in tho Boiling beat and formed themselves Into fbe crater of a human volcano while a black and a white man, remainiog representa tives of belligerency ia peace created a payoblogioal eruption. For one aolid boar tbey watched the wbjte and black gladiators fight and they roared with a aoand that ahook tha forest of timber when tho white man landed an oooaaional blow bat whoa tbo pale giant sank wearily on his side only to bo dragged to his feet and totter again to tho floor a ailenoe like that of a city of tho dead foil and the people went away sorrowful. Altogether tbo tight was not aa in teresting as tbo tight crowd taking each as a specimen of its class. The fight from the standooint of a man who expected to see a close, clever heavy weight battle, waa a disap pointment. It war like a baseball game between two big league nines, ending in a score of 23 to 0. Tbo crowd, on tho other hand, was as picturesque an aggregation to look upon and as characteristic In IU way as any tbat ever aaw a cbampiouship battle. Mrs. Snellingr Entertains Mrs. V. L.
