Another Victory for Hood River Nine.

AuOtHeT NICtolJ Iol hOou AitOi Nhcs
The umpire's poor sight in calling
"fair ball'' on foul which landed just
outside the left field, a wild throw by
Sheets, and muffed ball and error by
Fabric enabled the Stevens nine to
score twice in the opening inning,
Sunday afternoon.
Stevens opened the engagement with
limerick at the bat. L. Haynes made a
beautiful connection with pretty fly,
and Blakely walked to first on balls.
Then came liner from Roy Haynes,
which Johnny Castner felt 50 sure
was foul that he began to
take his own time in unlimbering, and
HAYNES with an undecided start made
second. Olson struck out. Layton
struck to short stop where the ball was
raked in and thrown to Fabric. Hood
River evidently wasn't down to playing
vet, and Fabric startled scorer Theyson
in an attempt to put the ball home:
Before things untangled, Blakely and
Haynes had notched the score stick.
When Hood River took the bat Dewitt
reached first on grounder. Johnny
Castner tapped the sphere to A. Ander-
son at second, where pretty double
plav was executed, and it was two outs
for Hood River. Dunbar landed into
the hands OF l.. Anderson and the blue
stocking lads took another inning. The
visitors went down and out. Ditto for
Hood River.
Then followed some of the best base
ball work ever witnessed on the home
grounds. Dunbar was putting up good
league ball, and had Martin to stop him
behind the bat. The Hood River field
ers PLAYED close in TO command a better
view OF the batteries neat work. Lay.
ton was found often enough, but not
very frequently for safe hits, the Ander'
son brothers and llealey proving them
selves nimble and certain on nearly
every attempt. Sumo of their In and
out fielding made the hearts OF the base
ball fans feel good. An eye kept on
Harry Bailey was all that was needed tC

VIM. Foss Meets with Singular Death.

VIM. Foss Meets With Singular Death.
William Foss died early Tuesday
morning, August A, 1903, at his East
Side home, of arsenic poisoning. The
circumstances of his death are very
singular, though not the least of blame
is attached to any one. Mr.. Foss was
helping 7. Steinhilber the day before
to spray his apple orchard, as had been
his custom all summer. A short time
before the dinner hour Mr.. Steinhilber's s
little girl took can Of arsenite OF soda
compound out to Mr.. Foss. The same
can had always been used for this pur-
pose, but Mr.. Foss, in a joking manner,
asked if it was coffee. "No, of course
not, said the little girl, at is deadly
poison" But it seems Foss put the can
to his lips and took swallow. Mr.,
Steinhilber found him shortly after
deadly sick. The poisoned man was
taken to the house and given quantities
of milk and egg, which induced vomit-
ing. A doctor was called and the patient
was moved to his house. About six
o'clock he became unconscious when
the doctor was again called. He never
regained consciousness and died early
the next morning.
After he became sick, Mr.. Foss said
he knew the liquid was poison, but de.
cIared he didn't know why he drank OF
it. Mr.. Steinhilber says the, man has
been working hard since early spring
from daylight to dark, which with worry
and trouble had broken him down, and
perhaps while thirsty, and in fit Of
observation-disclosures he drank the poison.
William Webster Foss was born at
North Adams, Mass. September 10, 1910.
At the age OF IA, with his relatives he
located in Illinois, and in 1871 at Dan
Vile he was married to Miss Phoebe
Purser, Five children came to bless
the home, three of them preceding their
father to the better country. In 1855
Mr.. Foss was converted and united with
the Methodist church at Belmont, and
often he walked to prayer meeting from
his home on the East Side, after the
tolls of the day were done. During the
pastorate of Rev. Kaufman he united
with the U. B. church, and has been 6
faithful, consistent member for these
years. He leaves two sisters, two sons
and his wife, besides many friends tt
mourn his departure.
Mr.. Foss was a veteran Of the civil
war, having served with Company K o
the 37th Illinois infantry, General Blacks
regiment.
Funeral services were conducted a.
the the U. B. church, Wednesday after
noon, hy Elder j. 7. Merrill and Rev. II
C. Shaffer, and were largely attended by
his East Side neighbors. At the grave
in Idlemilde cemetery, the ritualistit

base, Sheets, Davidson's substitute,
ran safely to first. Johnny Castner
drove the ball into the clouds, and right
here the story hinges. II 1t hadn't been
for the wind it would have been a safe
and sure hit, but the Stevens fielder
tore round from behind the pines way
to the left and gave everybody the inn
preston that it was a foul. But the
umpire had rendered his decision and
Johnny had scored home run. The
visitors we're frantic. They stormed
and fumed, but Dukes remained immut-
able. No, no, they wouldn't play ball
any more, and began to put on their
coats. 1t looked like it was all off, and
the fans punched in all parts of the dia-
mond. Finally, encouraged by Pitcher
Layton, the boys went back to finish the
game. The others might play but not

fine him, and persuasion proving futile,
Charlie Morse was drafted in his stead.
