CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN
Democrats and Socialists Try to out
Talk Each Other

The windup of the municipal campaign
last night came near resulting in physical
clash, so enthusiastic were the followers
Of Democracy and the adherents OF social
ism. The Socialists established themselves
on the northeast corner Of First and Los
Angeles streets, early in the evening, and
the speakers started to hold forth on the
rights Of man, and the necessity OF human
ity standing shoulder to shoulder, with met
aphorically each mans hand in the other
fellows pocket, provided he required any
financial assistance. Pretty soon the Dem
ocratic speakers came and took possession
of the chariot of eloquence of that party,
which had been driven to the northwest cor
ner, directly opposite the Socialists, in the
afternoon. The adherents of the respective
parties were numerous and enthusiastic, and
they mingled their whoops and yells OF
applause without due regard to time, place,
or the telling points of the opposition.
So loud became the noise that Tor a time
it looked as if there might be physical en-
counter between the two parties. How.
lever. Police Officers Robbins, Rico and
Shand and Deputy Constable Mugnemi ap
peared and besought the gentlemen to cease
the row. Matters were finally comprom
ised by the Democrats moving their wagon
across First street 10 the SOUTHWEST cor
ner, where the greater part of the two
crowds followed.

POLITICAL PAP
Colored Politicians Quarrel Over Pre-
ferment by the Sheriff

Ed Myers and Ed Akers were arrested
yesterday by Deputy Constable Mugnemi
on warrant charging them with disturb
ing the peace. The arrests were the result
of political row. Sheriff-elect Hammel!
has announced that he would appoint a
coored deputy in his office, and as both
of the men have taken prominent part in
local politics, they called eeting of their
supporters Friday night to choose who
should receive the appointment. Neither
was able to secure the endorsement, but
both were able to prevent the other from
being endorsed. Some hard words were
exchanged, and at one time it looked as II
the meeting would result in row.
The men met on the corner of First and
Los Angeles streets yesterday and Akers
called Meyers liar. The latter punched
him in the face, and then Akers is said to
have drawn revolver upon his traducer.
Deputy Constable Marshall, the former jan
itor of the police station, separated the
men, and after dsarming Akers. went to
the police station to swear cut complaints
against the pair. Deputy Sheriff Mugnemi
went to serve the warrants. Akers was very
ugly, and as Marshall had returned him the
revolver, started to draw the weapon on
Mugnemi. The latter made the arrests
without trouble, however. Akers may be
charged with assault with deadly weapon.

Mushroom Training in Tunnels

Since 1887 the commercial growth OF
mus hrooms has been carried on in disused
railway tunnel in Edinburgh, leased from
the North British company. The output
sometimes reaches 5000 pounds of mush-
rooms in month, and it is claimed that
they are the finest in the world. The sue
cess of this experiment has led the Scottish
Mushroom company to negotiate for the
lease of another disused railway tunnel nm

mushrooms their culture is profitable, and

four shots were fired from the outside

But Quickly Turns and Flees When Con-

The Attempted Robbery Occurs
Shortly After 3 O'clock in the
Afternoon, While the Cashier
and His Assistants Were Pre-
pairing to Put the Money in the
Vault-The Robber Still at
Large.

PORTLAND, Jan. 20.-A bold at
tempt was made to hold up the Cit
liens Bank on the East Side about $50
this afternoon, but owing to the cour-
age and thoughtfulness Of cashier A
w. Lambert, the robber was put to
flight without securing cent.
The bank had just closed for the day,
and Mr.. Lambert, the manager, with
his assistants was preparing to put the
money in the vault, when masked
man entered the front door which is
probably ten feet from the counter. In
his right hand he held a revolver, while
with his left he was apparently hold
ing his mask close to his face.
Pointing to a stack of bills on the
counter behind the screen, the robber
demanded that the cashier hand them
out. Lambert started to pick up the
money, but at the same time secured
a revolver from a drawer. AS soon as
the robber saw that he was confronted
with a revolver, he turned and fed, but
before he reached the street cashier
Lambert fired a shot at him, which
passed through his clothing.
Dozens Of people were on the street,
and large crowd was attracted by the
shooting, but the fleeing robber soon
reached his horse, which was hltched
only block away, and mounting 1t
was soon out of sight
Some time before the attempted rob
berry the man was noticed in the vlcln-
ity of the bank, but it was not believed
that he contemplated making raid on
the bank, situated as it was on crowd
ed street and in broad daylight.
The Sheriff and a posse started in
pursuit of the highwayman, but no
trace of him has been secured UP to
