Training-Probable Winners.

Training-Probable Winners.
The preparations for the coming athlet-
ic and gymnastic events to be given by
the Astoria Football club Tuesday even
ing next are almost complete, and the
intending competitors ceased the more
arduous part of their training and are
now combining their exercise to light
work. The handicaps have given pretty
general satisfaction, although some
dark horses" among the clubs men,
bers have, it is asserted, stolen march
on the Handicapped. Considerable spec
ulation is INDUCED in as to the probable
winners, and the knowing ones assert
that the handicap men have just a
shade the best of it. All, however, are
determined to do their best, and close
finishes are expected.
In the first heat of the 25-yard dash
are McCue q 1-2 YARDS, d. Mclean q
Yard, Heilborn q 1-2 YARDS and Cleve-
land Il Yard. For this heat Heilborn
and Mclean should either run a dead
heat, or finish very close in the order
named.
In the second heat but three contest
ants are likely to appear. 1t should be
won by Gum, from the one-yard mark.
with Sovey q 1-2 yards) second.
The third heat will prove pretty
one, and the result will be determined
at the crack of the pistol. Wright, with
a yard concession, and Tallant and r.
Carruthers at scratch, are the contest
ants. Carruthers may win, but not by
more than few inches.
The fourth heat has Higgins az
yard), Rathom, Johnson and Hansen q
yard each), The chances are slightly in
favor of Hansen. with Higgins crowd
ing him.
The obstacle race should be won by
McCue
In the high-jumping contest the win
ner should be Bennett Is inches), If he
competes, If not, Wright q inches)
should capture the event. If pressed, IT
is thought the professor. who is a firm
believer in the doctrine Of a sound
mind in sound body. will clear the
bar at point between five feet six
inches and six feet
The one-mile fiat race will test the
abilities of the scratch men to the ut
most. Heilborn and Mclean, with
$50 yards each. ought to finish first and
second with Tallant not more than a
few yards away.
George Cherry, with a concession of
30 yards, ought to defeat his field in the
match, with II, carruthers a
close second.
on account Of the length Of the pro-
gram it will be necessary to. begin at
T;45 sharp.

he Is Accused in Open Court Of
Disreputable Practices.
Uses Slang In His Defense and i.
Censured by Judge MARITIME.

assistant Distrlct-Attorney Stephen
o'Hare denounced Alfred G.. Cowan. a
colored lawyer, with offices in The Trib.
une Building, before Judge MARITIME in
Part ii. Of the General Sessions this
morning for his alleged dlsreputable prac-
tices In the case of George Smith, who
Is charged with felonious assault.
Mr.. O'Hare told the Court that in some
manner Cowan had got the case away
from Lawyer Evans. and had attempted
to get the complainant, William Reed,
out of the jurisdiction of the Court. He
also said that the Observation-Disclosures pri-
vate secretary had detected Cowan In
subornation Of perjury. and he had re.
sorted to d.%sreputable practices.
CoWan, who was in the courtroom,
protested against what he termed the
unfair tatcments of the Assistant Dis
trict-Attorney He said there was no
love lost between him and his accuser,
and on that account he kept away from
the criminal courts. He said that friends
of Smith, who Is also colored, called at
his office and ''planked' down the money
to defend him. He was not compelled.
ne c~ont.nned, to come to these courts
for filthy %lucre,' as he could make IA
living outside.
Cowan, in referring to Mr.. O'Hare, re.
fused to call him a District-Attorney, and
said that man
At this point Judge MARITIME interrupt
ed the rolored. lawyer. and told him that
his remarks were uncalled for. The
Judge also said that ~''planked' and
Filthy lucre" was not the proper Ian
guage to use in court.
Cowan then became excited, and in
sisted upon righting himself before the
Court and the spectators. He said he
had never attempted to get the complain
ant out of the state, but. on the con-
trary. Reed had expressed his willing
ness to withdraw the charges.
Judge MARITIME asked Cowan IL he was
ready to 20 u trial. He replied that he
was, but desired to be heard further on
the charges of that man. pointing to
Mr.. O'Hare
The District-Attorney then arose and
moved the case for trial. Cowan was
cut short in his speech, and the case
was ordered to go on this afternoon.
