Nezperce without run. The game
was called al this time the score stand
ing ii to l, with another time at bat for
our boys, which they did not utilize.
The Nezperce nine played desperate
game throughout but were clearly up
against their superiors and it was only
through carelessness (or PITY on the
part of the home team that they were
allowed to score at all. Lange pitched
star game for the home team and was
ably supported at all times, both behind
the bat and in the field Very few hits
were made off his delivery and he did
not allow single base on balls, while
Mccoy Hill, the Nezperce, Cor Kamiah), /,
pitcher, was found repeatedly and was
at times very wild. Poor support at
critical times did not tend to strengthen
his work in the box. 1t was a plain
case of being outclassed and the reser-
walton boys, who came in with flags
flying, returned home so crestfallen that
they forgot to take their tin horns with
them. Dan NJ. Bowes umpired the
game for Eezperce, while Clay McNa-
NEE did the honors for Cottonwood.
The score by innings is as follows:

Board of Pardons.

new era for the Board of Pardons
commenced February 9Th, when Gov
ernor Peabody presided for the first
time. In his message the governor
recommended that the board be abol
ished, and when the meeting was
called to order last night he made a
short address, outlining his policy in
regard to pardons. He said that when
a man had been clearly convicted he
saw no reason why the sentence
should not stand. He would consider
pardons only when new matter came
up after the conviction. He did not
approve, he said, of pardoning on ac-
count Of the mere fact that thoy were
in Jail for a long time. It was the
business Of the courts to pass the SEN

was nothing more than a bar room
row. Mcdonald. it is said, was drunk,
and passed over the counter a check

The sentence of Charles Grabert,
sentenced from Lake county in 1902
for embezzlement for from two to two
and a half years, was commuted to
July l, 1903. The plea was that Gra-
bert, during the hard times, took ad-
vantage of the fact that he was Gus
todian of the funds of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen, and that he
took money which he intended to pay
back. There were several Of his cred--

|AWFUI. HURRICANE
.lNAND TIDAL WAVES

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News Of a
Fearful loss OF life in destructive
storm that swept over the South Sea
Islands last month, reached here to-
day on the steamer Mariposa, direct
from Tahiti. The loss of life is esti.
mated at 1000 souls.
January 18th last huge tidal wave,
accompanied by a terrific hurricane,
attacked the Society Islands and the
Tuamotu group with fearful force,
causing death and devastation never
before equaled in land of dreaded
storms, verification of mans inabil-
ity to contend with wind and sea.
The storm ragged for several days,
reaching its maximum strength be-
tween January 14th and January 10th.
From the meager news receiver at Ta-
hiti up to the time of the sailing of the
Mariposa, 1t is estimated that 1000 of
the islanders lost their lives. It is
feared that later advices viii. add to
the long list.
The first news of the disaster ar
rived at Papeete, Tahiti, January 26th,
on the schooner Eimeo. The captain
OF the schooner placed the fatalities
at about 500. The steamer Excelsior
arrived at Papeete the following day
"Aeh HOO uSotitutC ouItltOTS. Inc CAP
tain of the Excelsior estimated the to-
tai loss of life to be S0O
These figures comprised only the
deaths on the three islands of Hao, Hi
kuera and Makokau, whose ordinary
population is 1900.
On Hikuera island, where 1000 in
habitants were engaged in pearl div
ing, nearly one-half were drowned.
On an adjacent island, 100 more
were washed out to sea- Makokau and
Hao are depopulated.
Conservative estimates at Tahiti
place the number of islands visited by
the tidal wave and hurricane at
eighty. All of them are under the con-
troll of the French governor at Tafiti
The surviving inhabitants are left
destitute of food, shelter and clothing,
all having been swept away by the
storm.
The French government, upon re-
ceipt of news of the disaster, took
prompt measures to relieve the dis
tressed district and dispatched two
warships, the Duranee and Zelee, with
fresh water and provisions.
