LARORER ASSAULTED.
Stranger from Portland Beaten Up
at Railroad Station.

p. F. MCGEE, a foreman for the
Pacific Coast Construction company,
was tried in the police court this
morning for having helped in an at
tack on a laborer at the o. r. & N.
depot about o'clock last evening.
The man assaulted had been sent
up here from Portland to go to work
for the construction company and
while at the depot with McGee, Riley,
another foreman, and a crowd of
workmen, he says he was jumped up
on and badly beaten last evening.
Among other things he says his as
sailants desired to tear his right eye
out and his eye shows some evidence
Of such treatment.
Following the fight last night, Ri
ley was arrested, but was released by
the police after having given SO bail
which he forfeited by not appearing
this morning. However, MCGEE was
on hand, and was defended by Roy
Raley, while City Attorney McCourt
prosecuted him. At the conclusion
of the case Judge Fitz Gerald took
the case under advisement.

to be queen of the Eagles carnival,
and she will be crowned at the car

Though the balloting for queen Of
the carnival was scheduled to close
at o'clock yesterday afternoon, it
was not brought to a finish until late
in the evening and after 1t had been
somewhat exciting. After o'clock
last evening the balloting was car
ried on at the carnival grounds.
When the voting was closed and the
ballots counted, the final result was
found to be as follows:

BRAKEMAN KILLED,
o. f. Burquist. Formerly Of the o. r.

O, E. Burgquist, formerly fireman
and brakeman on the o. R. N. at
La Grande, was injured in the o. R.
& y. yards at Spokane few days ago
while working as brakeman and died
yesterday morning as a result of his
injuries.
Burgquist was popular young man
among his fellow employees, was 26
years of age and unmarried. Up to
the time of the death of Fireman Nc
Partridge in the Cayuse wreck few
weeks ago, the two roomed together
in La Grande.
Engineer F. Rechlen of La Grand9
passed through this morning to Spo-
kane to accompany the remains of
Burgquist to his old home in Minne-
apolis, Mimi, for interment. Burg
quist was a member of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen.

JUDGE HALEY WILL HELP.
Arguments OH Sheep Quarantine Law
In Portland Tomorrow.

To assist them in resisting the le-
gal fight that is being made against
the Oregon sheep law by the wool
growers of Washington, the sheep
men of this state have retained
Judge T. G. HALEY Of Portland. With
the assistance of Attorney Dan P.
Smythe of this city Judge HALEY will
argue Saturday against the grant
ing Of the temporary injunction
sought by the Washington men.
From all indications a hard fought
legal hattie is now to be waged over
the sheep law and tomorrow the first
round will be fought out before Judge
Wolverton. The Washington men are
said to have raised a large fund and
are preparing to do everything pos
sible to knock out the quarantine
law.

CIRCUS TOMORROW.
Sells-Floto Shows Coming to the City
June I.

The great Sells-Floto shows will be
here tomorrow for the usual two ex-
hibitions, rain or shine. A grand free
open-den pageant will parade the prin-
cipal streets in the morning and its
gorgeous beauty and cleanliness de-
notes the prosperity OF this famous
show, giving ample evidence that a
praiseworthy program will follow in
the big tents.
The program at both the afternoon
and night exhibitions commences with
the performing elephants.
From the time the elephants come
into the arena until the two hours
performance has been concluded there
will be one continuous whirl of excit-
ing feats. There will be something
new in bareback riding, in swinging
trapeze, in tight and slack rope walk
ing, in contortion, in tumbling, in hori-
zontal bar work. in the swinging rings
and on the swinging pole, in bicycle
riding and roller skating-in fact. in
everything that goes to make up an
entertaining circus performance.
One of the most spectacular of the
feats given by the Sells-Floto shows
is that performed by Herr Schmidt
and William Hoye. Mr.. Hoye, who
is an expert bicyclist. mounts into a
big frme basket and rides around Its
steep sides while the whole weight is
balanced at arms length by Herr
Schmidt. 1t is a remarkable display
OF daring and strength. Mathematic-
ians have figured that Herr Schmidt
sustains a weight of 5000 pounds when
the bicyclist above his head goes
whirling up and down the sides of
the 12 to 15-foot whirl-way.
This is only one of the remarkable
things you will see under the Sells
Floto tents. There are many others.
Among them are the iron-jawed Ty-
bell sisters, who sustain themselves
and other great weights with their
teeth; the Peter family, two brothers
and three sisters. who perform a
series of sensational gymnastics; Her
bert, the human frog, one of the
greatest contortionists Of the present
day; the four divers, eccentric COM
edians, who do all sorts OF queer
things such as playing man upside
down, three heads in two, shooting the
clown out of a cannon and other
laughable things.
Then there are the trick riders and
Madamoiselle Althea the marvellous
slack wire walker, not to mention the
trained donkeys, dogs, pigs, geese, etc.

Inland Empire Wheat Markets.

Seventy-three cents a bushel for
red wheat was the price quoted at
Pullman, WASH, May 2S No wheat
is selling because there is none to
sell, but the price offered shows the
strength of the market. Red wheat
is always quoted several cents below
club and bluestem, and the price Civ
en- above is the lowest offered there.
With wheat soaring about rs
cents a bushel and the prospects for
at least an average yield of spring
wheat and the biggest yield Of win
ter wheat this section ha sever pro-
duced, the farmers OF the Palouss
country have just cause for optimism,
which prevails to a large extent
among all classes in the Palouse
country.
1t is rumored that offers to con
tract the new crop at SIS cents a
bushel are being made. The Spokes-
man-Review correspondent tried to
trace this rumor to its foundation, but
has failed to find any one here who
is Offering that or any price for the
new crop, although all express con-
eidence that the new crop will start
off at from so to 20 cents a bushel
Local dealers say that wheat Is
being contracted at Lewiston for So
cents a bushel, and that three crops
were contracted at Albion some time
ago for 60 cents. These were blue
stem and forty-fold wheat, the two
highest priced varieties In this Sec
tion, but it is said that the farmers
who contracted have withdrawn their
contract with the consent of the
manager of the farmers warehouse,
which bought the grain.
