TIE BATTLE WITH MTTTENs.-The glove
contest at the opera house Saturday even
ing proved Of much interest and attracted
a fair sized audience. The financial in
situations, city government and various
professions were well represented. There
seemed to be some hitch between Cor
man and Meyers over the financial ar
rangements and while these were being
perfected there were several interesting
bouts between local amateurs. Calls
were made for ellison, Burke and John l..
Wilson, but none Of these well known
sparrers responded. German and Mey-
ers finally came together, but not with
out some show Ct bad blood and they
went at 1t ~viciously. The fight was sharp
and short, there only being four three
minute rounds. German struck savage
blow, but the little fellow was the best
general, and when he got into too close
quarters he would clinch, and then came
work for the referee who won the plaud-
Its Of the audience by the vigorous man
ner in which he separated the com
Datants. Myers, in every clinch, would
try to get at his opponents wind and
finally he succeeded. At the end Of the
fourth round German threw up the
sponge, claiming 4 sprained arm, but the
main trouble was that he was winded
and worn out. Both parties showed the
effects Of the sharp fighting, Meyers get
ting a black eve and other facial disfigu-
rations. When German gave in he was
greeted with groans by the audience,
which stirred him into offering to fight
again in three weeks, but Myers wanted
to have it out then and there, which
didn't strike the spent German favorably
and the battle was given to Meyers.
HOP PICKERs SCARCE AND HIGH Priced.
The Mckee people were the first to get
hop pickers, giving a bonus Of two dol
lars per head and paying 81 per box Of
100 lbs. Others engaged at 81 10 per box
Of II bushels, but Wednesday there a
4 strike and the growers were forced to
pay $I.25. The Indians have all been
anxious TO get to the Sound, and the Puy-
allup growers have had runners here
offering inducements and placing their
propositions in seductive colors. Some
few got away, Notwithstanding Agent
Stabler's efforts to keep them here. In
this connection, it is well enough to state
that Congressman John l.. Wilson sent
Mr.. Stabler a personal telegram, urging
him to permit the Indians to 20 to the
Sound. Republican and democratic hop
growers are alike incensed at this petty
interference and the prospects are that
John LIS name will be Dennis in Yakima
county this fall.
TIE HOP IL KISG.-Hops still continue
to advance and Mr.. Carpenter wal offer
ing 80 cents on Tuesday and it was stated
that to-day 80 cents is bid. Mr..
Carpenter is Of the opinion that no more
hops will be sold until after they have
been picked, cured and baled, as most of
the growers have sold enough to ave
themselves and feel speculativeIy in
clined regarding the balance Of their
holdings. Senator Thompson, of Sum-
ner, is reported by a Sound paper as say
ing that hops will reach ~ cents before
the month is over. It Is to be hoped that
the senator is not only not a false prophet
but a very conservative one.
An OREGoN BAD MAN ARREsTED.-On
the fourth inst. Wash Pamburn, who is
charged with being q horse thief, got into
an alteration with Reuben Wilson, at
Adams, Oregon, and fired four shots from
his revolver at him. Pamburn then
skipped out, but was followed by Sam
Olson, OF Pinkerton's force, who located
him at Prosser. Olson made Pamburn's
acquaintance and, pretending to stand in
with him, induced him to come to North
Yakima, where he was arrested on Tues
day by Dan Simmons, on warrant. He
waived the procuring Of a requisition and
was taken back to Umatilla county for
trial.
The LATEST LAND RULNG.-The COM
missioner Of the general land Office has
repealed the recent action Withdrawing
the arid lands in this district from settle
ment. The local land officers have not
received official notification Of this action,
but are daily looking for 1t. This re-
sends the order Of August 9th and vail
dates those entries made since October
2nd, 1888.
