publican increase is LIT, or 10 per cent.

same as those from the towns so far re-
ceived. the Republican majority in the
state will be about 81, 600. The vote from
the largest towns has not yet been re-
ceived.
The Prohibition vote shows less change
when compared either with the vote of

Gratis. although little work has been done
throughout the state by the cold water
advocates. Fuller's majority over Smalley

might occur there four deputy sheriiis

Judge. when the Democrats could find no
candidate to oppose Judge Irwin. They
could find no candidates for auditor, clerk,
attorney and school superintendent. The
meeting passed resolutions of the usual
populist stripe. The convention was a
small one. but was assisted in the nomina-
tions by members of the old parties who
were witnessing the fun. The ticket is
one that, with but one or two exceptions,
would be considered weak by the older
parties. The Republicans have no cause
for di satisfaction at the result of today.

Mr.. McGraw, in his turn, arose nervously,
stammered a few words, and then broke
down completely. For full minute he
was unable to proceed. but at last turned
to the audience in front of him and said:
"Boys, boys. you must pardon me, but l
never see little fellows like you

Bloody Orgies at Mount Vernon.

MOUNT VERNON, sept. o.-lSpeciaI. IA
shooting affray in which one Indian was
nearly killed and drunken logger shot in
the leg occurred here early Monday MORN
Ing. For some days past an encampment
OF Indians and white loggers have held
forth on small island in the Skagit river
about half a mile north of Mount Vernon,
and on Sunday the loggers bought several
bottles of whisky and got the Indians
drunk. About 9 o'clock Sunday evening
the Indians, two squaws and several
loggers rowed across the river to West
Mount Vernon and proceeded to hold a
sort OF ghost dance and kept it up half the
night. singing yelling and dancing. At
O'Clock Monday morning one of the In
dians, known as Indian Jim," attempted
to elope with the sQuaw of another red
skin named 'Cutlip Charley" so called
for a scar he wears on his face,
and "Charlev" took after the couple
and fired two shots at Jim. One of the
shots took effect in the left arm near the
elbow, and the other went through his hat
and grazed along his head, tearing up the
scalp. Jim escaped by jumping into the
river and swimming to Mount Vernon,
where he notified Night Marshal Lorenzy,
who went to West Mount Vernon to arrest
the murderous buck. When the officer
arrived at the scene of the shooting he
found that Chris Olsen, logger, was also
shot. One of the bullets which struck
Jim had glanced off and hit the logger in
the leg causing a painful flesh wound.
"Cutiip Charley" was arrested and taken
to Jail, where he will be kept until Jim is
able to appear against him.
