Henry Spencer, "the iceman," gave
the saddle on Celebrant in the last race

the decision to Sailor Knot, the mount

Hugh McGovern. The former opened at

SUMPTER WILL RESIST SHERIFF.

created surprise. and some cOnsterna-

has been wide open since it's inception,
and. therefore. such a radical change
as that proposed by Sheriff Brown
comes like thunder clap to many.
1t is not expected here that the
saloons will close Sunday. although the
order is out to that effect. 1t is thought
the recent murder here at the louvre
saloon has mad the effect of stirring
up Baker City people toward closing
such places.
Gambling has been carried on in this
city almost continually, as most of the
miners are inclined in that direction
SO far no saloon man has announced
that he will close Sunday, and for that
reason the next move of the sheriff is
looked for anxiously.
