HBALDsBURe,s CONTEST.
FinaI Count of the Votes for Queen to Re
Made THIS Evening.

Final Count of the Votes for Queen to BE
Made THIS EUening.
HEALDSBURG. CAL, April 10. - The
contest for queen of HeaIdsburg's Floral
Festival closes tomorrow evening at 7:30
o'clock, and tonight guard watches the
ballot box, for hundreds of votes were
deposited to-day, and each represents a
moneyed value. The finance committee
does not intend to let any enterprising
individual get away with the contents of
the box.
Without doubt the vote tomorrow will
be heavy. There are four pretty girls who
would be willing to wear the floral crown,
and the friends of each are working hard
for their favorite. Even on this clustering
Sunday workers were out in the farming
districts adding to the already large purses
raised.
Miss Nellie Pet1ay heads the list with
1870 votes, having 300 more than Miss
Alice Haigh, who leads Miss Edna Biddle
by fourteen votes. Miss Oza Waldrop is
close up. Miss Waldrop is pretty blonde,
and her many friends are quite intent to
have her in fourth place until the last
ballot has been put into the box, when,

to protect himself. The mob yelled that
he would not shoot, bur he fired one shot
on the ground. At the sound of the shot
and the sight OF the rifles in the patrol
wagon the mob lodged round the corner
and disappeared.
When the melee was over the police took
stock of what they had in the wagon and
found nine of the rioters, two OF whom
had to be sent to the hospital at once.
The others were taken to the police sta
ton where they were at once bailed out by
leading Portuguese at 500 cash each. The
police escaped without any serious INJURIES.
Since that occurrence there has been
much ill-feeling between the police and the
Portuguese, which so far has only found
vent in occasional volleys of stones thrown
at policemen from behind fences.
The result of all this has been to create
a feeling of impending trouble with the
Portuguese, and this is increased by the

paid no attention to him.
A lieutenant of police came up at this
juncture and asked the President for
orders. He was told to clear the streets
and arrest any who opposed the order. By
this time seven or eight police were on
hand, including two or three of the
mounted patrol. These charged on the
mob, and picking out two or three of the
ringleaders attempted to arrest them. The
mob resisted, and as fast as one was ar
rested the mob would rescue him. The
Portuguese fought with sticks and stones
and finally commenced pulling off the
pickets from neighboring fences.
The police, except the lieutenant, were
only armed with clubs, but they did good
execution with them. A passing wagon
was seized by the police and they made a
stand around it, seizing a rioter and
throwing him in as they got a chance.
Meanwhile, the mounted police were
riding their horses through the mob and
endeavoring to separate them.
The mob by this time had got in front OF
President Dole's house and was rapidly
increasing in size. The Prezident went in
among the rioters and urged them to dis
perse. but they paid no attention to him,
although they offered him no personal
violence.
In the meantime the facts had been
telephoned to the police station, and Cap
