Duty Tough on McGraW.
The dropping Of Taylor is probably the
hardest official order that McGraw has
ever been compelled TO issue, There was
n feeling between Taylor and the chief
OF the Giants which was more than or
binary friendship. On account OF his rare
rood humor and his love for fun.
coupled with his infirmity, Taylor en-
dsared himself to McGraw, and II Is
likely that II McGraw had been IN po-
sition 10 do so lie would have kept the
Dummy on his payroll for life. on the
other hand, Taylor thinks there IS no
man Ike McGraw, and his forced retire
ment from the Giants will be the bitter
est moment OF his life. Taylor has felt
for two years that McGraw did more
for him than his services really war
ranted, and when the manager offered
10 raise the deaf-mute pitchers salary
he declined. He is the first ballplayer

the story told by Hopkins. When
asked as to the biting of the boy on

Young Man Tells Story that
Excites Deep Sympathy

Broodlng Over Wrong He Had
Suffered Caused Threat.

A rather pitiful case was brought
out in the probate court Tuesday
when Bert Hopkins, lad of eigh-
teen or nineteen years of age, was
brought before Judge Jaques
charged vita disorderly conduct.
The yarioue witnesses were thor.
oughly INTERCEPTED by City Atty.
Hattsbaugh and the Court. One
by one the facts were brought out
and the truth of the matter shown
up not to the detriment of the boy
but to the great discredit of some
others.
1t seems Monday Young Hop
kins began brooding over his
wrongs and securing gun threat
ened to defend himself aud even up
the score il he was to be prosecuted
further. Fear Of him carrying ont
his threats caused parties where he
was Saying to notify the officers.
When brought before. the court
he begged not to be locked in Jail
over. night awaiting his hearing in
the morning and claimed he had
done no wrong. The pleadings OF
the boy were effective and the court
ordered him in the custody of Con-
stable Arnold for the night.
When brought before the court
Tuesday he told story of his
treatment reeking with cruelty and
abuse. He had came from Walla
Walla TO this city at the sug-
gestion and persuasion of one of the
members Of the Pierce family, peo.
pie who have been in the city but
six weeks. He told of working al
logging in the mountains for Pierce
and receiving but small amour,
of his pay and how he had been
beaten-up on various occasions by
a step-son of Pierce's.
1t seems the boy had frozen his
hand and notwithstanding this
disadvantage the step-son would
whail him as usual. The boy tolC

the house had bitten him on the
arm and as proof showed the scar.
Pierce and his wife were both

stories. Pierce admitted he was il

circumstances Work.

There has never been a religious
movement is this section of the
country where such great interest
has been manifested. This is at
tributed to the Cottage Pray yer
Meetings that were held previous
to commencement of the meetings
and the faithful work and prayers
Of the various committees and peo-
pie of the churches comprising in
all about thirty men.
Perhaps the strongest factor for
the benefit of the revival, is the
Mems meeting that meets for thirty
minutes from 12:45'to 1:15 in the
building formerly occupied by DIR.
Sheaffer as drug store. The at
tendance has been exceedingly large
in view OF the fact that it is busy
time with the business men. The
interest manifested in these meet
ings is something wonderful and il
is not surprise that men of all
classes are being aroused.
Every day this week a meeting
is being held in the Presbyterian
church at 4:l5 p. m. for the school
children outside of the high school
This meeting is conducted by Mrs.
Arbuskles and different lady as.

Modern WOodman in Trouble


The postal officials declare that
the Modern Woodman, the official
organ Of the order which members
receive free each month, does not
comply with the regulations rs to
having bona fide subscription list
and that it is not therefore entitled
to the benefits of second class mail
unless the advertisements are cut
out. If advertisements are printed
saya the authorities, the publica.
tion then must be mailed as first
class matter. In view of the fact
that the last issue of the Modern
Woodman only contained $4,000
worth of advertising matter, and If
mailed as first-class matter, i,
would cost S17 900 to distribute the
issue, the quandry of the officials OF
the order can be easily imagined.
