H|NDUS ARRIVE
Eight Orienta|s Seek Ref
uge in Wa||a Wa||a

Eight genuine Beliingham Hindus
scared from the Sound city by the
mobs, arrived in the city on the 1:55
O. R. & N train this afternoon
No sooner had the Hindus descend
ed from the steps of the day coach
than they We're surrounded by Gu
rious mob, eager to see what the no
torious foreigners look like. Their
black turbanned heads, wrapped in
the black turban cloths of the ma
tive land presented a grotesque and
out of place appearance amid the
throng of well dressed Americans who
surrounded them.
Dark almost 20 blackness are their
faces, some adorned with scrubby
black boards and some devoid of any
facial adornment other than their
somewhat irregular features. So thick
did the crowd gather around the
strange looking human beings that it
was with difficulty, and indeed quite
impossible for several minutes for
them to force their way through the
inquisitive Americans who surround
ed them and make their way toward
town.
Leaving Bellingham because of the
riots there they have come to this city
to look for work. They are not unin-
.elligent in looks but their general ap-
pearance is anything but attractive,
almost repulsive they appeared to the
throng of people about them.
Except for their head dress they
are almost Americanized in their
clothing. One even wore photo but
ton, probably of wife, mother or sweet
heart
Dirty they looked, to be sure, but
that. But however it may be. they
cannot be said to present the ap-
pearance of desirable citizens"
The Hindus came to the business
part of the city and disappeared
looking for work of some kind. 1t was
rumored at the train they had been
contracted by some local labor con-
tractor to work near this city in the
fruit orchards. OminOuS looks and
threats greeted the newcomers as they
came up the street and their welcome
to this city is anything but pleasant
by the laboring class at least

was all that could be gotten out of
them.
Coming up town they divided into
two sections. Three, with the man
who. from his long white. brass but
toned coat and pale green turban was
az parently the leader, went up Sixth
street and looked for work there. The
o. her division, with four black tur-
bans and one of crimson, came straight

TO CROSS BATS
WITH WONDERS
PENlTENT!ARY BOYS WANT A
CROWD TO SEE THEM PLAY
BALL.

To show their appreciation of Ex-
Warden Kincaid and the interest he
has always shown in them and Incl
dentally to show they are still III the
ring, the peniten;iary base ball team
! will tomorrow afternoon cross bats
in another effort to win from the In
land Wonders. Whatever the Wond-
ers may offer in the way of a team,
can win and they are determined to
do SO. They have been practicing
hard and backed with the enthusiasm
of their fellows will make the hard
est fight to land victory they have
yet made. Urged on by their victory
of two weeks ago, they want another
game in which to demonstrate their
absolute supremacy in the base ball
! world
Three games have been played in
by the convicts ard the other a 10
inning game, being finally captured
by the Wonders. Neither has had a
walk away however, and the game
tomorrow should be a good one.
In tOmOrrow's game waits a sur
prise for those who have not as yet
seen the prisoners play, for the others
who have, great Improvement is to
be shown. The prisoners are OF. their
mettle and they will show they can
spOrtsmanlike manner. Royce and
McCambrdge will be the battery for
the penitentiary team and from the
way they have shown up in practice
lately, will do something big for the
entertainment of the crowd
The Line Up.
On the other hand, the Wonders are
equally as sure they viii wipe tie
earth with the boys on the hill. They
have been putting in some pretty good
licks themselves and are confident the
convicts will not so easily DOWN them
as they think The tean N has been
strengthened by the addition of Aubin

staff. Tempany win also send few

mis- appearance in the box is good for
some shut outs Baewer will bag them
behind the bat and LankGrd will stop
the hurrying ones ut the premier

c1ocol1- v-atchn1 hy Me- lister ard at
third. if any are so lucky as to ge-
that far, the prisoners will run up
against a bad proposition in Black
man. At shortstoD Secrist will nail
the rollers and few will pass him. In
the far gardens there will be some
sure shoppers. Hanniman will bag the
high ones, in right field; Wickersham's
trusty mi:t will be under all that
come down in center and those in left
will be nailed before they touch the
ground by Harmon.
The game is to be called at 2:3O
and promises to be one of the most in
teresting events'of the baseball season.
The admission will be 25 cents, the
proceeds to go to pay off the $25 debt
that remains on the new band instru-
ments which have been lately pur-
chased. The instruments have arrived
and the boys are anxious to get the
last of the money paid which is owing
on them. For this reason the game is
to be played and everyone is guar
anteed his moneys worth.
