running battle, in which one striker
was perhaps fatally shot and Sergeant
Fred Frasch of the constabulary was
knocked from his horse and sustained

prevails and more trouble is In sight
between ugly foreigners and the DO

Charge Strikers.
Constabulary charged the strikers
who refused to dispense and were
greeted with fusilade of stones and
bricks. The strikers closed in and
attempted to drag them from their
horses. The constabulary were forced
to retreat and galloped their horses
down George street. closely followed
by the mob. They outdistanced their
pursuers. but stopped to arrest q man
who had stoned them while in retreat
and caught up with them. It num-

Troops then received orders to fire
and the striker fell, shot through the

New developments hsxe arisen in
regard TO the swindling scheme where

! that are apt to/assume interesting
proportions and cause local merchants
to sit up and take notice.
In the first place 1t appears that the
man Gilbert who represented himself
to be the authorized collector for the
Railroad Employees Association and
who branded the two Indianapolis
strangers as swindlers. is just as big
crook himself as either of the 9TH
of the railroad organizations that any
one whatsoever is authorized to col
lect benefit funds for theft organize
tions. 1t Is further stated that no one
has ever been authorized to collect
such funds and local merchants who
have been giving to the organizations
for years have been victimixed by
clever swindlers.
Statement Of Sehi.
Charles A. Sehi. $50 North F street.
president of the local Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, stated today that
money had never reached them that
had been collected from Richmond
merchants for . benefit fund for the
organizations. He further stated that
all of the associations are now. and
always have been on a splendid finan-
cial footing and have never felt the
need of calling upon Richmond mer-
chants for help. 1t is even stated that
In the constitution Of the Brotherhood

hood of F1remen and Engineers, of
which Gilbert claimed to be q MEM
Der. and Of which he showed a letter
head to the business men Of this city,
that no benefit funds shall be collect
ed or advertising schemes promoted
for the organizations.
Mr.. Sehi states that Gilbert (wh0se
first name is unknown) is unheard Of
in railroad circles. The matter has
been investigated and there is no such
person in the employ of the railroad
company and SO he could not possibly
belong to the association of which he
claimed he was a member
Fleeced For Years.
1t appears that Richmond merchants
have been fleeced out of money for
many years. Sharon Z. Jones Of Jones
Hardware store states that he has
been donating to what he thought was
the Railroad Employees association for
the past twenty years. Mr.. Jones
states that Gilbert possessed papers
puported to be genuine from the
Brotherhood Of Firemen and EnGi-
neers and bearing their seal and let
ter head. which gave him the author
fty to make such collections. Gilbert
appeared to be much worried over the
fact that the Indianapolis men had
buncoed % many business men out Of
money which rightfully should have
been reposing comfortably IN his own
pockets. He even visited Mr.. Jones's

and Russian ministers are still urg-

nationalists, he has persistently re-

have surrendered, giving up their arms
rather than die fighting in cause that
now looks hopeless.

udging Proves q Great Success.

Last spring 1t was question with
many orchardists whether smudging
for frost was a SUCCESS. The Southern
Pacific took an interest in the matter
and supplied Grants Pass and Med
ford with crude oil to experiment
with. Shank a. Hall, who have the
Eismann orchard down the river,
used the oil In part of the orchard
and IN the rest of the orchard they
had bonhrss and smudges OF different
material. A visit to his orchard last
Sunday showed that moss all OF the
trees are heavily loaded with apples
and hundreds of boxes have been
taken from the trees in thinning
them. 1t was practical demonstra.
tion, and clearly shows. that smudg-
ing is an absolute preventative OF
frost.
The part of the orchard where the
oil was used is equal II not better
than any OF the rest. This orchard
will produce this year an immense
crop Of apples and all Is due to smud-
ging. There is no question that II
the owners had not resorted to
smudginR frost would have taken the
entire crop.
Note was also taken OF the amount
of 1t necessary for nights smudg-
ing. Owing to the lateness Of plac-
ing their order for oil pots they did
not get the kind they wanted. The
kind they got was not as good nor
as economical as some OF the other
kind manufactured. Each pot holds
about half gallon of oil and the pots
we're placed through every other row
of trees. These pots lighted between
ii and II o'clock burned until Z
O'Clock In the morning. What crude
oil for this purpose can be purchased
for Is not known, but 1t costs the rail
road company laid down there about
two cents gallon, and is likely the
expenses would be much greater. -

PROSPECTING FOR
LOST GOLD Mine

A Husum correspondent says that
a number of ranchers IN the White
Salmon Valley have formed stock
company for the purpose of prospect
ing for gold in the vicinity of Mount
Adams, gaining their knowledge OF
the whereabouts of supposed lost
mine from Amos White, an old min
er, who TO the past few years has been
living in Potland. Old settlers now
living in the Horse Heaven country,
he says, tells Of Fienchman, Pierre
Rabado, who lived near Biekleton
some 20 years ago, who would myster-
iously disappear every spring and at
ter few weeks absence would re
turn with about $500 worth OF gold
dust. He would evade all the cur.
ious ones as to his destination, bnt
1T was generally believed he procur-
ed his gold near the western base OF
Mount Adams. In the spring OF 1891
the the Frenchmsn started on kbis
annual trip for gold, but never return
ed. The theory was that he was eth
er killed by the Indians, or had pas
sed over the mountains to return no
more. Soon after the disappearance
of the Frenehman Amos White, a
miner, gained the confidence and
good will of an Indian who professed
to know of the locality where the
gold was taken cut. White offered
the Indian 5000, and $1,000 yeal
during the remainder of his days II
he would lead the miner to the covet'
ed mine. The Indian accepted the
proposition and the trio started for
the new Eldorado. The two we're ab-
sent three weeks, but were finally In
tercepted oni the way by Yakima
medicine man, who, taking the Indian
aside, threatened him into abandon.
