An Exciting Game OF Polo In Portland
Last Night.

The hest polo game that has been played
In Portland this season, was that Of last
night at City hall when the locals met

was made until Captain Mckay in the
final period snapped the ball from spot
In front Of the Portland cage and by .
great aim knocked 10 into the visitor
receptacle.
There was q great deal Of exoitement
throughout the contest. As soon as one
side would manage to securs goal, the
other would at once proceed to tie the
score and 1t seemed a. though an extra
period would have to be played to deter
mine the result
Captain Mckay put up u 81 tar game and
Joson also did brilliant work. The usual
~ reliable Campbsll had an on night and
allowed several chances to slip ~ when
he might have pushed the ball into the

Leader for the Indian Band.

Dan Lecooka, a full blood Apache In
dian, came in last evening from the
Grand Junction Indian school, to go to
the Indian government school near this
city. Lecooka is a brilliant musician
and will be the leader of the government
Indian school band. The Grand juno
ton band is recognized as the finest In
dian band in the country and the au-
thorities of the school here feel very
proud of their new acquisition. In con-
nection with arrival of the young Indian
it is worthy of mention that Conductor
Jeremiah Quingu of the Santa Fe train
from here to Lamy, stopped the train at
the school grounds to let the young In
dian off, although no stop is made at the
school at other times. Courtesies of
that kind make a railroad popular.
