Scheduled

RENO Nevada, June 21.-With
Reno definitely fixed as the battle
ground, with positive assurance from
the governor that no attempt to in
terfere will be made by the state au-
thOrities and with the preparations
already under way for the building of

walking distance and with a railroad
and street car line passing the place.
1t is hoped to have it completed by
the first of the month. No change
will be made in the original arrange
ments of the seats.
The location for Johnson's train
ing camp was made this afternoon
while Jeffries had already selected
MOana Springs, three miles from
Reno. A double fight will be on in
Reno, July 4. if Sid. Hester succeeds
in carrying out his plan to stage the
Ketchell-Langford fight here on the
morning fthe big battle and in the
same arena. Jeffries and his trainers
are expected to arrive tomorrow and
Manager Tom Flanagan has sent a
telegram to Johnson to lose no time
in getting here.

BRIBERY CASE
QUICKLY ENDS
Lorimer's Attorneys Bring De-
Tense to Premature Close With
Many Witnesses to Call
PROSECUTION DECLARES
THEY FEARED TESTIMONY
Attorneys Begin Arguments to
Jury and Defense Hopes That
Men in Box Will Discredit
Whites Statements

CHICAGO, June 21.-Precluding
the possibility of the defendant going
on the stand in his own behalf, coun-
sci say, and shutting out all testi-
mony that Senator William Lorimer
might have to offer in denial of the
charge that his seat in the United
States senate was purchased, lawyers
for Lee O'Neil Browne, abrutly rested
their case at noon today. The sudden
move of the defense was wholly un-
expected. More than fifty witnesses
for the defense We're thus excluded.
Several of these in addition to Brown
and Lorimer were considered import
ant. Among them was Lieutenant
Governor John Gillespie. who arrived
in Chicago from Springfield.
Whites Testimony Vital.
This morning it is said that coun-
sci for Brown believe their case
stands or falls upon whether the
jury is willing to accept the testimony
of Representative Charles A. White
who made the first confession and
delivered the principal testimony in
the alleged bribery scandal. 1t is
hoped by the defense that the jury
will look upon Whites testimony as
doubtful. Attorney Forrest, who has
led the defense of Browne, has in
sisted from the beginning that he is
not materially concerned over the
outcome in the criminal court and
that he made legal case for his
client to stand in the higher court
Fear Further Probe.
Statn
says Browne and his lawyers fear to
allow the case to be probed further
and that even with their own witness
ses, they dare not chance an unex-
pected slip. Although Wayman be-
gan his address to the jury compare
lively early. he will not finish until to-
morrow He will be followed by the
defense.

BUFFALO BILL WILL
SAY FAREWELL HERE
Wild West Will Not Again be
Headed by Famous Indian
Scout Who is to Retire

D. f. Lynch, contracting agent for
the Buffalo Bill Wild West show, was
a North Yakima visitor Tuesday and
entered into the preliminary arrange
ments for the appearance here Sep
TENDER 6 next of the show. This trip
will be one of unusual Importance as
it is in the nature Of a farewell by
Col. Cody. Towns which are visited
by his show this year will not again
be visited by him. He is making a
farewell of the country and each of
his show towns will never again see
him, as a public character, after the
next visit of his troops. Col. Cody
has irrigation and land interests at
Cody, Wyoming, which are just a
little larger than a man of his years
should undertake to handle and he
proposes to retire now, that he is
about seventy years old. and develop
them. Mr.. Lynch in addition to his
work here. was able to see consider
able of the country as Fred Schaefer
took him for an automobile ride
through the orchard district.

FAMILY OF PHEASANTS
A VERY PRETTY SIGHT
Birds i'm an Open Field South of the
City Attract the Attention of
Many People.

Just a family of pheasants in a
wheat field but they furnished pic
ture which was greatly enjoyed by
several North Yakima people who
were on an automobile trip south of
the city last evening. There was two
hen birds, a cock and a brood or two
broods of little ones, probably Is or
20 young birds in all. The little ones
were all in one flock ana were about
the size of quail. There was only one
bird in sight and it was the belief Of
those who saw the family that there
was no other. Certainly n there had
been the manner in which the one in
the field struttod about ana showed
his elegant plumagc ana called atten-
zion to his pretty family would have
been cause for war as any other bird
would have challenged the right to
the center Of the stage.
