About nine o'clock this morning
an exciting runaway occurred on
Twelfth street The horse belonging
to Col H. G. Dubose, inspector in
charge of the Brownsville district
of the immigration service, which
was hitched to the fence just in the
rear OF the custom office at the ferry,
became frightened at something, pull
ling down the panel of fence to
which it was hitched and started
east on Twelfth street at two-forty
gait. At the northeast corner of the
market plaza the horse ran into the
sidewalk under an awning in front
of a small Mexican store, tearing
four of the posts down and also
wrenching one of the doors to the
building off its hinges The door
in falling struck the leg of Jose
Garcia, little Mexican, badly bruis-
ing it, although no bones were brOk-
en-. Upon striking the door with the
buggy, the harness broke and re-
leased the horse which turning the
corner at Adams street continued his
mad career, being caught near the
base ball park. The buggy suffered
little damage, except slightly spring
ing the aXles.

AND SHOSHONE
TO Join COAST LEAGUE

Portland, Ore, Dec. 27-Evidence
multiplied today that a deal is under
way to give Portland two baseball
teams, continue the Northwestern
league through the 1910 season, and
to throw Seattle and Spokane to the
Coast league in 1911, shutting out the
NOrthweSterns from Portland. 1t was
Cal EWing's interview, given out at
San Francisco yesterday, that started
things. Following the comment there
on Of Manager Brown of Spokane last
night, Dugdale of Seattle is out to-
night with an admission that nego-
uatiOns are under way. Says DugdaIe:
I'VE have an agreement under way.
1t is of a private nature, but I will
say that there is no agreement tenta-
tive or otherwise, to put the northern
teams in the Coast league in 1910. AS
to 1911. I must decline to talk"
On the top of this negative admis-
sion from the kngpin Of the North
western league that Ewing's hint was
well grounded, comes this from Wal
ter McCredie: 81 was not in favor
of POTtland's maintaining two base
ball teams. The arrangement is ex-
pensive and cumbersome. We belong
in the Coast league, which has three
other live towns besides Portland,
while the Northwestern has only Sc
attic and Spokane.
Still further indication that the deal
lies as Ewing, Dugdale and Brown
hint, comes in positive announcements
today from SCheder of Tacoma and Nc
Farlane Of Aberdeen that their teams
have the money in sight and are ar
ranging to continue through 1910.
