DROWNED AT PENDLETON.
Woman Commits Suicide by Jumping
Into River.

Mrs. Anna Engle, aged so, committed
suicide at PendletOn Saturday after
noon by jumping into the Umatilla
river at that place. She left home,
went to the lower end of the 1evee,
walked out in the river on a log and
jumped off.
Mrs. Engle had been an invalid for
many years, having just returned from
California, where she spent last winter.
She was afflicted with a nervous mall
ady, and it is believed she was par
TALLY insane on this account. She left
a note at home, reading:
This awful pain l can't stand any
more with all my suffering, even for
my boys sake. l go to the river to end
it all. God bless my boy. John, gOOdby
to you both, Anna"

Mr.. McCown, one Of the patentees,
used the new invention last year with
great success, and the farmers in gen.

benefit that the machine will be to
them. The firm is now negotiating
with several large firms in the East

WHITMAN ATHLETES HOME
TRACK TEAM WAS DEFEATED IN
THE FIELD MEET AT
MOSCOW.
Sons of Marcus Carried OF All Of the
Sprinting Races-BaII Team
Returns.

Whitman college has all her athletes
back. Her track team arrived at 3: 80
this afternoon, having stopped over
Sunday in Moscow. Although Whit
man lost the field meet Saturday with
Idaho by a score of so to Y she acquit-
ted herself nobly. Every one of the
races fell to the swift Sons Of Marcus.
Palmer took the 100 yard and quarter
mile, Jim Hill was best in the quarter
and Howard Merritt trotted away from
his opponents in the mile and half
mile. Seven first in all fell to Whit
man but she lost on seconds and in the
weights.
The baseball team returned on Sat
urday afternoon after a five days trip
away from home. The second game
with Pullman on Friday was one of
the closest ever seen on the w. A. c..
pitch and in the fifth INNING the root
erS came down to the sidelines and
yelled every conceivable yell to rattle
the pitcher and their opponents. Not
until the game was through was it set
tied There was every prospect of a
ten-inning game. Only five errors
were made by either side, but three of
| those made by Whitman were very
costly and cost her the game. The
civ
very evenly matched and a battle royal
is looked for on Decoration day when
Whitman meets the farmer giants on
her own grounds.
The Decoration day game will be one
1t will take place at 4 o'clock on the
Whitman grounds after the services of
the day are over. 1t is very likely that
the w. A. c. boys Will stay over and
play an exhibition game on Tuesday
afternoon also. although the Monday
game on Decoration day Will be the
final game in the championship series.
Baseball Prizes.
After the game with Pullman next
week a reckoning Will be made of the
batting and fielding record of the
|. Whitman baseball team for the prizes
awarded by j. J. Schiffner, II. O. Peck.
and the Cash Cycle company A hasty
computation Of the batting record be-
fore the trip north last week showed
Louis Sutherland to stand at the head
of the list and Elmo Reser second.
The boys held a meeting during the
| trip last week and voted that only in
ter-colIegiate games should count for
these prizes. This will probably
change the averages and relative po-
sitionS of several of the candidates. A
keen rivalry and much interest is
shown by the boys because of these
prizes. The generosity of the gentle
men who gave them is very much ap-
preciated by the boys of the team.
