and stated that only one response had
been made to his request for rooms. A
hERALD reporter Was present and i'm
piled that this paper could do little
better than that in the way of soliciting,
and to The HERALD, therefore. was as
signed the task OF providing rooms for
the men who will attend the big conven
ton. II has been q hard task, for vari
Gus reasons; but principally because So
many people are contemplating the en-
tertainment of relatives and friends dur
ing the fair, and could not pledge rooms
to strangers. There will he additions to
the list obtained; because many were I'M
certain. but promised tn inform this pa

that have possibly been overlooked

Der of guests they can accommodate.

Bloody Battle in a Closed Room.
G. v. Fowler and James T. Parker
have had trouble over the lease OF hop
ranch belonging to the former. The law
was appealed to and Fowler obtained
judgment and advertised Parker's pos
sessions at sheriff sale. Monday they
concluded to arbitrare matters and ap.
pointed meeting for O'Clock Tuesday
morning at j. b. Pugsley's Office. Mr..
Pugsley was to be mediator, but conclud-
ed that his offi'e wasn't large enough for
the three, so he took the precautlon TO
oversleep himself, and in this he was
wise for he might have been killed in the
scrimmage that followed. All the de-
tails are not obtainable, but DIR. McCnr
mick managed to get fair view within
safe distance at the keyhole. Mr.. Fow-
Ter opened the ball by saying: Jim,
I've come to the conclusion that you are
-" Parker thought this
over for about half minute then re-
torted: "Mr. Fowler, won't take that
from anybody; you're the ---."
At this stage the picnic began in earnest.
Fowler has some repute as a puyulist, on
account OF doing up p. :. Burke several
years ago, but he was no match for young
Parker who blatked his eyes, boodied
his nose and polished him off generally.
Finally after be,oming tired OF his exer-
else, Parker asked Fowler If he had
enough. The latter answered that he
Was satisfied, and was permitted to 90
and get his wounds dressed. The Office
was q sight after the battle. The big
coal stove was knorked over and broken,
chairs upset and the floor painted deep
red color. Mr.. Pugsley would like da m
ayes, but is thankful that he wasn't pres
ent to act as referee.
The state Fair.
One week from next Monday the State
Fair will be opened and it is thought
that everything will be in readiness. The
commissioners are working constantly
and to good effect and there is no question
but tfat the crowds of sightseers from
home and abroad will be we'll entertained.
The building operations are progressing
rapidly and the collection OF exhibits
promises we'll. Walls Walla, Spokane,
Whitman, Stevens and other counties
have made appropriations for exhibits,
while many other points will display
their products through the enterprise OF
commercial organizations and the liber-
atty Of citizens.
The races promise to be most interest
ing and Secretary Reed is daily receiving
entries. r. A. Hume passed through
Yakima Tuesday, returning from eastern
Washington and bound for the Sound, and
among other things he ssid that the I'M
migration Board OF Spokane would make
a big display, and that o carload of race
horses and stock would be shipped from
the same point. Walls Walla has secured
q number OF carr, which will be loaded
with fruits and other exhibits and most
OF the other points visited will also be
well represented.
The commission has been assure that
a Seattle team will participate in the bi
cycle races at the fair.
