SEATTLE.
All Corners Free to Compete For
Prizes.

Seattle, June, Is, 1910.-Relay race
by genuine cowboys. who will rid,
their own horses, will be among tn,
exciting features of the entertain
ment program of the SECOND annua
Western Washington Fair to be giyel
In Seattle September 19 to 25. TIL,
fair association has extended an inyi
tation to COWBOYS all over the countr
to compete in the races. which will b
open to all comefs.
These races will be four mile even
with eight laps of the half mile track
to each race Each rider will have
four horses in his string and will
change horses at the end of each lap.
Horses will be nnsaddled and saddled
in front of the grand stand and each
rider must compete the four miles to
have look-in al he end of the
race,
That these races will bring out a
number of the best riders in the west
is assured by the fact that already
entries have been received from G.
p. Burnstad, of North Dakota, and r.
J Gundison, of South Dakota. These
two men own big ranches near the
border line of the two Dakotas and
for long time there has existed gre
rivalry between the cowboys employe
n the two ranches.
When Gtlndison heard of the races
carded by the Western WASHINGTON
Fair he took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to test the horsemanship of the
men and the endurance of the horses
on the two ranches in neutral terri
tory. He challenged Burnstad to bring
horses and men and meet him in Sc
attic to contest in the relay races
This challenge was accepted, and the
two ranches will fight it out at the
Western Washington Fair with the
pick Of their horses and men.
Other ranchers will take advantage
of the opportunity to test their men
and horses and large number of en-
tries is expected before the opening
of the fair. The management has
nounced that these races are open to
eN cry man who rides and that no fav-
ors will be shown any entries.
The premium list for the 1910 fair,
and valuable trophies, is now ready
for distribution. Copies can be had
upon application to Secretary Guy
MacL. Richards, Globe Building, Seat
tie.

they were mates made haste to get
away.
Mr.. Pearson did not discern his
loss until short time after, when
he noticed an empty shoe box stand
ing on the floor near the counter and
it was this that aroused his suspicion.
The loss to Mr.. Pearson is $3.50 of
equal to the value Of three pair i, (

THREATEN A LYNCHINC.
Mining Town on the Verge of an
insurrection. Threats Of
lynchng Made.
Evening Capital News)

The mining tpwhs of Atlanta is O
the verge of insurrection that may lea
to a lynching IL the reports receive,
In Boise are true, for = gang OF hood
lums and rowdies numbering eight hi
excited the more peaceful citizens
by their acts, threats and by setting
fire to buildings, to such a pitch O
! indignation as to cause threats to b,
made that would indicate hanging
may result.
Because Deputy Sheriff w. r. But
Ter, formerly of Boise, and well
known barber of this city, appointed
to the office Of deputy, refused to dc
the bidding of these rowdies, his life
has been threatened thru black hand
letters, one of which was to the eff.
feet that he had been warned to leav
the city through the burning of the
jail, warned again when his home
was set on fire and that If he did not
leave the mining town within short
time with his stool pigeons" he
would be given third warning that
might cost him his life. The dep.
uty sheriff refused to leave his post
by the threats but instead moved his
family to the mines and then came
back and told the law breakers to
do their worst One Of them, Chas.
Porter, was arrested and, after a pre-.
liminary hearing, bound over to the
district court under 81 goo bonds.
and removed to Mountain Home.
Burn Lodge Hall.
The Knights of Pythias hall, a
structure valued at $4,000 together wit
It's fixtures representing total val
aation of $4,000 was burned to the
ground last Thursday evening, and
there is strong suspicion that the
gang of rowdies set it afire. When
this became known excitement ran hig
and threats of lynching were made
on every side. The rash act was
only prevented through the fact that
no one could single out the ones re-
sponsible for the fire
A report was received In Boise last
night that the gang made determin-
ed effort to drive the deputy sher-
iff from the town and failure on their
part to do so caused them to attempt
tering oil over the buildings and set
ting them afire. When the home of
the deputy sheriff was set afire
nothing but his timely awakening
saved him from being burned to
death.
Situation Serious.
Two well known Atlanta bushes
men, Edwin r. Gaetz of the Atlanta
Supply company, and l.. N. Frankie
are In Boise today and when seen
cOrroborated the reports from the mi
ing camp. Mr.. frankie arrived in
Boise last night, suffering from bad
ly bruised and broken jaw, caused
from a kick by horse. He Is re.
ceiving teatment here. Mr.. Gaetz
has been at B1ackfoot, where he at
tended the Knights OF Pythias con
vention. Both state they believed
that If some action was not taken
to rid the mining town of the gang
of rowdies there would be serious
trouble that might end in lynchine.
The situation IL not only considered
serious but dangerous
A telephone message from Mountai
Home stated that there was great ex-
citement in the mining camp yes
terday.
