Dangerous.

New York. Oct 16.-Barney Old
field is 10 race Jack Johnson for the
automobile championship at the
Sheepshead Bay track, Coney Island,
New York, the goth of the month.
Sporting men are asking, What has
Oldfieid to gain by racing the negro ?"
The answer, according TO well known
New York sporting writer, Is, Money
and glory. He continues:
Barney Oidfield is making the wis
est move of his career by meeting
johnson. After the negro licked the
best white man in the ring, he set
about TO get Oldfield into race with
automobiles, having previously an
nOunced his intention of becoming the
automobile champion of America. The
speed king ignored JOhnsOn's chal-
lenges ana laughed the matter off IN
Ill he could eVade the issue no longer
without being accused of sidestepping.
" King Barney could not oraw the
color line. Years ago he raced against
Major Taylor. the bicycle racing mar
vel Barney admired the cOlOred man 5
nerve and sprinting ability. Oldtleld
was wise enough TO realize that sooner
or later he would have TO race against
Johnson, and that il would be better
TO meet him now than a year later,
when johnson Will have accumulated
much more experience and ability at
the steering wheel
The same perslstency and determl-
nation which brought the Galveston
black man to the top rung of the pu-
/ gilistic ladder, has been coupled with
/ his automobile racing ambition.
IF Oldfield wins, and his chance Is
| by far the best, ne Will be lauded as a
hero all over the country, particularly
| in the south and west. ana hailed as
/ the redeemer of the scrapping honor
of the white race.
And the dope tells one that Old
field will win, so that il is safe "a
/ get ready the laurel Wreaths 10 be
pressed on the OhiOan's brow. But
one thing must not be forgotten. John
son is terribly in earnest, and he viii
be as full of hOpefulness and courage
when he throws in his clutch al
Sheepshead Bay as he was when ht
stepped into the ring at Reno.
Barney Oldfield says he viii mol
retire from the automobile racing
game if he is defeated by Jack John
son. Oldfield SAYS he viii bet 50 much
of his official bank roll on himself

[EbECK FREED Of
CHARGE
Judge Grimshaw Directs
Jury to Return Verdict
Of Not Guilty.

This morning at 10 o'clock the
case of the state VS.. j. H. Lebeck
came to a sudden close as the result
of Judge Grimshaw directing the
jury to bring in a verdict of not
guilty.
This is the case wherein Mr.. Le-
beck, a prominent fruit grower liv-
ing south of the town, was charged
with assault on young girl: The
prosecution had concluded its case
and attorneys for the defense then
asked the court to instruct the jury
to return a verdict of not guilty. on
grounds that no proof was offered
connecting the defendant with the
crime. Judge Grimshaw so directed
the jury and the case ended.
County Attorney Fred Kemp, as
sisted by r. S. Ludington, represent
ed the state and the defendant was
represented by Thomas & Sorenson
and Parr & Hubbard, of this city,
and Anderson & Anderson of Ever
EFT, and j. S. Lebeck, of Mansfield,

Will Exhibit at Yakima.

The Yakima fair opens September
26 and most careful plans have
been made to make this one of the
most interesting events of the kind
ever held in the state of Washing
ton. A special feature prepared this
year will consist of an exhibit by
Fairbanks, Morse & Co. showing
every type of pumping plant and its
application to irrigation.
This machinery will be shown as
nearly as possible under actual work
ing conditions, and some of the
larger sized installations will be
shown. The exhibit as planned will
be by far the most elaborate ever
planned for such an occasion. and in
order to make it really instructive,
five special engineers have been de-
tailed to be present.
1t is expected that number of
people from Wenatchee and up the
river will make the trip to Yakima
this year.

TOO LATE FOR NON
PART|SANS
Plan Must Be Abandoned
for the Tacoma Con-
ventiOn.

On the official ballot at the gen.
eral election in November there will
appear, no non-partisan or even in
surgent ticket for the supreme court
judgships even though the insurgents
carry out their plan of nominating a
ticket according to many prominent
attorneys of the city, who say that
this would be in violation of the law
The law governing the nomination
of judges makes no provisions for a
non-partisan ticket, and if there is
to be one the attorneys say that they
should have been nominated the
same day as the primary election.
The democrats have 80 days yet in
which to name a ticket for the judg-
ships, however, as they cast more
than 10 per cent of the vote at the
last general election and may hold
a convention at any time that will
permit filing. 1t is possible that the
insurgents will cooperate with the
democratic plan of naming nom
partisan ticket. If this is done, how
ever, the names of the candidates
will appear in the democratic col
umn.
In considering the case it was also
discovered that the republicans had
filed their candidates. for the ju lg-
ships with the secretary of state
more than so days before the cleo
ton, and that to get the names GER
titled on the ballots they must file
