ocratic state committee really expect
ed, and proves that Chairman Sweek
was speaking from the cards when be
said that Chamberlain could lose
Mu]tonomah by 1000 and still win
the election.
Withycombe made his best showing
in Benton, his home county, but even
there his margin was one short OF 300.
He carried Columbia, Coos, Curry.
Douglas, jackson, Sherman, Tilla-
nook, Wallowa, Wasco, Washington
and probably Harney, but in most of
these his plurality was less than 100.
In Douglas he lead over Chamberlain
ii only nine votes, and full returns
may wipe this out.
Late returns show that United
States Senator John NJ. Gearin made
a phenomenal run. II was thought at
first that Bourne had beaten him
about 10, 900 but the outside counties
have done so we'll by t3earin that it is
now believed that Bourne s plurality
will be less than 1850. Bourne car
ried Multnomah by about 1000, al
though this is Gearin's home and yyas
the supposed center of the Republican
revolt against that party's senatorial
candidate.

THE OFFICIAL COUNT
HARTMAN LOST FOR COUNTY
JUDGE BY Al VOTES,
Chamberlain's Majority Will Be Close
to $500 Over Withycombe
For Governor.

I. P. Gilliland has been elected
county judge by majority of Al
votes, according to the official count
made at the county clerks Office
Wednesday. The contest was so close
that an official count was necessary
to decide the election. Returns re-
ceived early Wednesday morning gave
Gilliland but one vote TO the good.
Unofficial returns received from Vim
son precinct soon after, increased the
numer to 13. at which it remained
until the official count began at
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. Great
interest was taken in the contest and
no small amount of betting to, was
going on during the day.
The official count by precinct totals
showed number of errors. North Athe-
ma changed Hartman's vote from Al to
40 and left Gilliland but Ave votes in
the lead. Things began to look gloomy
for Gilliland. But North Milton gave
Gilliland 80 votes more than the un-
official report, victory was conceded
to him. The official figures Of
North Reservation reduced his lead
ten votes, but an error was discovered
in the official count and ten votes was
restored. Ruddock next gave Gill
land three additional votes and finally
Ukiah gave him an increase of four
votes. Yoakum, the last precinct
counted, gave Hartman gain of one
vote, which left the total majority Of
Al for Gilliland. The total vote re-
ceived by Gilliland was 1856, and
Hartman's total was 1876.
The official returns for Umatilla
county we're completed at a late hour
Tuesday night by County Clerk Sal
ing.
Several changes were made in the
unofficial estimates, the most impor-
tant being the lead of Al votes given
T. P. Gilliland for county judge over
g. A. Hartman, his opponent.

fearilng Glass Has Been Added and En-
tries Are Being Made.
Horseman and farmers are evincing
more than usual interest in the an
nual Colt Show, which takes place
in Athena Saturday, June 16.
That still more interest may be
awakened in the success of the ex-
hibition it has been decided by those
having the matter in charge to add
to the classes already advertised, a
yearling class. To give the annual
show stability and an object to more
substantial purpose, it is proposed
next year to add s2-year-old class
and the following year 3-year-old
class.
BY this method, entries of colts
entered last year and each year here
after, can go through the three class
es under competent judges, thus CIV
ing sires and dams a much greater
prestige than could be derived from a
single entry in the suckling colt class.
Following are the different classes in
which entries viii be eligible for the
Second Annual Colt Show at Athena,

WALk-OUT CAUSES
SHORT T|E-UP.
Oilers, Pumpers' and
Flremen's Strike Stops
the Cars for Time
STEP UNEXPECTED

Practically every street car in the
city was stopped for half an hour or
more at o'clock last night because of
the sudden strike of the fremen, oilers
and bumpers at the North Beach and
Bryant-street stations of the United
Ha1irOads. The tie-up caused conges-
ton OF cars at certain ends of the line
and scarcity Mt ether points, so that
when the electric current was again
turned on thousands of passengers were
compelled to wait for more than an
hour before they could reach their
homes.
Thornwell Mutually. assistant to
President Calhoun, declares that the
flremen. oilers and bumpers walked out
on the company without any notice. He
was very angry last night at the men
for striking at such a busy hour and
declared last night that not one of them
would ever be re-employed by the street
car company He says that their places
have already been filled by new and ex-
perlenced men. According to his state
ment twenty-eight men walked out.
The engineers remained at their posts.
/, The men claim that about 100 men
struck. About ten days ago, says Null
lally, the hours of these workmen were
voluntarily reduced from ten to nine.
Last week they demanded a workday
of eight hours. This Mutually refused.
He says that he was given no notice Of
the intended strike.
The cars were running as usual on
every line in the city last night.

BOY IS CRUMP[ED
BENEATH AUTO.

A big automobile, spinning along De-
visaderO street last night at a high rate
of speed, crushed out the life of seven
year-oId Joseph Cotter shortly after
o'clock. The death-dealing machine is
the property of Miss X. Nolan, daugh-
ter of n prominent merchant. She was
out riding with Miss r.. F1nnigan, Miss
NJ. Lyons and Nj. L. HOlmdoif, the latter
of Oakland. j. Bernard was the chauf-
feur.
As the machine bowled along Devisa-
dero street, near the corner of O'Far-
relI, the unfortunate lad jumped OF n
passing car and hardly had his feet
touched the pavement than he was
struck down by the auto.
One of the first to run to the scene
was the father of the lad, John Cotter,
driver of the OFarrell-street station
patrol wagon. When Cotter laid eyes
on his son he staggered and would
have tainted but for the strong arms
of some of the bystanders.
Miss Nolan and her two friends were
nearly overcome with grief and anguish
when the lad was run down. Miss No
Ian recovered her presence of mind IN
time to help lift the lad into the ma
chine, which drove like mad for the St.
Francis Hospital, in the vicinity. But
the errand was all in vain. for the poor
little fellow passed away few mo-
ments after his arrival.
The lads skull was horribly frac-
tured and the internal injuries he re-
ceived were sufficient to produce death.
He never recovered consciousness.
]. Bernard, driver of the machine,
was arrested by Officer Rice of the
O'Farrell-street station and booked on
a charge Of manslaughter. He was i'm
mediately released on $3.50 cash bail.
