Al about fl: lat evening, at tho

ters, they were agreeably surprised by
Ihe arrival ol at-out 25 lady friends,
laden with baskets and psckagrs ol
cake, pies, eandwltchee and other good
thlegs lo eat. The aflatr had been se
cretly planned by the ladies and came
aa entire susprlse lo the boys, as they
bad not the least inkling of the plan.
Tables were quickly arranged and
loaded down with Ihe good things, and
the boys displayed as much ability
handling the Impllments ol tho table as
they do In the nse ol their musical in
struments. Alter supper the band
favored lire ladies with several choice
selections, after which tbey all repaired
to the ball room, and spent Ihe remain

It waa Fulton who defeated C. W.

When HodMin lined up Senator Smith

Fulton took no hand In the game until

When Court convened this mornlnir,
the examination of Mr. Johnson wss
continued by the stab. Wis wss fol
lowed by Mr. Hlion and Mrs. Welch.
Their testimony was rotative to the In
juries received by Johnson, especially
bringing out the fact that besides the in
jury to Ihe eye, there was also a swollen
ridge serosa the bead, which caused him
considerable pain. This evidence will
be used In strengthening the contention
ol the prosecution tbst Peterttelner not
only1 ran tbe cue Into Johnson's eye, but
Srst hit blm over tbe bead with It.
The prosecution did not Introduce the
testimony as to tbe dying statement of
Johnson, but it Is sxpeeted that the de
fease will not it as evidence.'
The first witness (or the defense wss
Cowl Reporter Rlchsrdson, who wss
ossd for tbe purpose ol Impeaching tbe
testimony of UEaserson, It was shown
that soros ol bis testimony did not agrco
with statements made at the preliminary
hearing and tbe former trial.
E. J. Hawkins, one of tbe solo player
In the saloon on tba night of tbe trouble,
contradicted Emerson's testimony as to
the number of persons at the card table.
Wm. Mcintlre known ss"Ulsckle"
testified that he was not ons ol tbe solo
players, as staled by Emerson, and that
he was not In tbe saloon Ihe night of the
trouble, but In another part o( tbe town.
A diagram, drawn by Hawkins, wss
Introduced showing the arrangement ol
the interior ol the saloon, and greatly
aided la tho descriptions ol the occur
rences on Christmas ere.

At the afternoon session the detente
examined Ludwig Btebn, Hawkins, Br,
Merfynun and George Bieatt, and their
testimony was practically aa that given
lit tbe Corpron trial. Deputy Prosecut
ing Attorney waa than called to the
stand and questioned aa to the state
ments made to. blm by Johnson, relative
to who inflicted the wound, at the time
that Htona was Investigating tho ease lor
evidence. Tbe questions were objected
to by the Bute and sustained by lbs
Court.
Attorney Mills took an exception to
the ruling and stated that it waa bis
purpose to prove that Johnson told
Stone that Corpron was tbe man who
run tbe cue into his eye. Mills lnformsd
ths court that ho wished to bring in
testimony as to the statements ol John
son alter his Injury. At 3:46 tbe Court
dismissed the jury until 9 00 In the

Purpose of the Federation
Editor Herald: Your editorial on
the action ol the Civic Federation in in
structing Its Exscutlvs Committee to
enjoin tba completion of the contract
lor a fire alarm system does not teem
to me quit In accord with all the facta.
I msy be mistaken In this aa I did not
attend the meeting at w.hlch the action
was taken.
You do not take Into account that th
Federation does not meet oltener than
once each month except on special- call
While that organisation hat delegated
Its power to th Executive Committee
to a cerUtn extant, between meetings,
that committee are rather conservative
men and do not rush ,lnto such matter
without considerable Investigation.
The committee appointed to confer with
tbe city government, met with snch a
reception that tbsy will not likely max
furthsr augftstlont to thkt body unless
especially Instructed to do to.
Another point which you do not
appear to consldtr ; this Federation was
large. organised to bring about abetter
enforcement ot law. We wish th laws
that do list to be enforced. If these
law art not good thsy should be strick

Complaint Filed by AltoraeysNofand , Smith, for CsfKiia
ft Oregon Land Co., Cletimes Large Portion of Land
is Arid and of Poor Quality
contrary to law. Ths city council wss
evidently divided on this queetlon and
the vote (or the contract was decided
(or the mayor, so that tbe queetlon of
overstepping ths law lies with blm.
This ha been done before, but that la
no reason (or Its continuance. This is
the first instance brought to our know
ledge since the organisation of the Fed
eration, and if the committee acts on
the resolution sdopted It will no doubt
do so rather because ol tbe reason set
out above thsn because ol the effect on
the city finances. Of course this is a
personal view, lor I have consulted no
one In writing this, but from my know
ledge ol the views of the members of
the committee, 1 (eel sure sll will agree
with the statements.
Ons reason of the city's present finan
ce Is that the Council lsst year, (ailed
to levy a las. Under this condition, it
was absolutely necessary (or the incom
ing council to creato liabilities beyond
the legal limit or allow Ihe city busineat
lo be thrown Into tbe cbsoe. This waa
an emergency (or which tbe present
council was not responsible and I am
sore no reasonable man finds fault with
the present expenditures that bare be
necessary in tbla direction. I certainly
do not.
