not more than 145 pounds.

A district which Is being quite
extensively doomed is Opportunity,
four miles from this city. Joe
Luckenbell and j. H. Gelvin are in
charge of an excellent exhibit of
fruits and vegetables from the Sec

H. s. Simmons has charge of the
Wenatchee exhibit. All the fruits
and vegetables are nicely arranged
and attract much attention from
the people who pass by in crowds.
Apples, grapes, peaches and bottled
preserves are given prominence by
Mr.. Simmons and look like prize
winners.
Five Mile prairie is represented
by vegetables which were grown
without irrigation. e. w. Graybill

Moran prairie is represented by
two exhibits. H. Ristaw's and

A great crowd is assembled at
the fair grounds this afternoon and
1t is thought will eclipse any yet
gathered at a fair in the history
of that institution in this city. 1t
is derby day-a day which in his
tory is as important as any holiday.
1t is an ancient institution with
the English-speaking people and on
1t no one pretends to do any work
or study, but gathers for a day of
mirth and enjoyment. Such is the
day in Spokane and the fair
grounds are simply packed with a
crowd Of fun-seeking citizens from
all over the state and surrounding
communities. 1t Is the great rae.
ing card for today that is furnish.

grandstand represents one great
floral creation with the variously
colored apparel of the ladies'. Seen
from the infleld, 1t seems to appear
as a great flower bed moved by the

Over 1000 people paid their way

although It did not quite equal the
attendance Of the day previous, the
management is much gratified at
the showing made. The main ex-
hibition building was crowded much
of the day and at times the throng
about the fruit exhibits was so
large 1t was difficult to approach

The query Of the jury gave rise
to considerable speculation as to
what was hanging them up. While
it is not known whether the jurors
understood the effect Of their YER
dict on the future of Cohn, it is fact
that a verdict of guilty is expected
to send him to the penitentiary for
life, as 1t would be his third con-
viction of a felony. On the witness
stand Cohn confessed to having
done time In California for counter
feiting and to having been sent
from Seattle to Walla Walla for re-
ceiving stolen goods. Life impris-
onment is said to be the aftermath
of the third conviction for felony,
and this may have been weighed
by the jurors.

PROBABLY FATAL ASSAULT

Stepsons Aid Her-FredericIS Bachman
 Asks for His Supper and is Struck
 Over the Head With an Iron Pipe
 Mrs. Bach1nan Formerly Mrs. Krux
 Who Was Held About a Year Ago on
 Charge of Murdering First Husband.
 Madison, Oct. 19.-A brutal assault which probably will result in the death of Frederick Bachman occurred to- night at his home in East River. Bach man alleges that his wife and two step- sons jumped on him tonight as he was about to eat supper and left him cut and bruised on the floor. He says that he went home to supper as usual and, finding that no supper had been pre- pared, asked his wife where it was. Here's your supper" she is alleged to have said, at the same time striking him on the head with a piece of iron. According to his> story, John and Will liam Krux, sons of Mrs. KruX, whom he married about year ago, then at tackled him, beating him on thu head and body, until he was unconscious. All three then left, but in a few mo- ments the injured man was able to go out. He called for help and neighbors, seeing his condition, took him in and then sent for physician. The condi- tion of the man was so bad that he was sent late tonight to Dr. Aver in Madi- son. The doctor stated that the chances for Bachman's recovery were slim.
 Two police officers of this place join ed the East River constables late to- night and succeeded in arresting the Krux boys. The reason for the attack on Bachman, who is an old man, is not known, but it is thought that the ac- cused men will be given a chance to tell their story in the town court here in the morning.
 About year ago Mrs. Bachman was held on the charge of murdering her husband, Krux, by shooting him with a shotgun, but was discharged after a coroner's hearing. She then married Bachman.
