everything 10 Fixed up Fine at Willow
Bar and Hunting 10 Very Fine
in That Particular
Locality.
KEoKuK MEN IN CLUB
Had an Amusing Experience on the
First Night the Tent Was
Pitched and All Were
Frightened.

Since week ago Saturday, the Rab-
bit club has been camping out on Will
low Bar, enjoying life and hunting
on the river and in the woods to their
hearts content.
Willow Bar is an island densely COW
cred with young willows lying be-
tween the Illinois and Missouri shores
of the river and making an ideal place
for hunters. The island is few miles
this side OF Gregory and some good
sport is being had by the party, COM
posed OF dozen or more Keokuk gen.
temen who go down to the camp al
ternately or as often as business
cares will permit them to get away
from the strenuous life OF the busy
business world.
The Rabbit club is the owner Of a
shack nine miles below Willow Bar
and week ago Saturday, the club
went down to the shanty and brought
all the bedding, cooking utensils,
stoves and furniture up to Willow
Bar where they will make their haunt
during the coming season.
The tent is large one, about TWEEN
ty by forty feet and every thing is
fixed up comfortably about the camp.
It was on the first night of the pitch
ing of the tent that an amusing incl
dent occurred and which could not
be kept by one of the campers when
interviewed by reporter this morn
ing
1t was on the frst evening of the
clubs arrived at Willow Bar that on of
the large five foot looking glasses was
left standing against willow and
forgotten for the time being. Sup
per was had and all went to their
hunks
During the night one OF the party
thought ne heard noise outside Of
the tent and arising he walked out
Into the moonlight. What was his sur
prise on going out to see man COM
ing toward him. The Willow Bar
camper raised his hand to brush aside
limb and the stranger who was
tS'culuouy uIcSoSu lihc tuS CdLlp pei !,
did the same thing, lifting his hand.
AT this the scared camper dug back
into the tent and called one of the
sleepers.
Both rushed out with their repeat
ing rifles and what was their surprise
when two hunters instead of one were
both standing with guns ready to
shott. Hands up" said both camp
ers together. The strangers hands
did not go up SO the two made re-
treat into the tent and aroused every
one One Of the campers, more recent
~ awakened from dream of rabbits
and ducks peered through the opening
IN the canvas and then laughed out
right. The stranger was nothing more
than the large looking glass tina. had
been stood against the tree. The laugh
was on camper nubmer one.

Oakland Outlaws ROn1p Off With
LOpSided Exhibition

| OAKLAND, May Charley Irwin's
San Francisco Orphans dropped an
other lopsided game to Oakland at the
Grove street grounds today. In every
4 department of the game which would
enable Oakland to pile up a heavy score
the visitors eXcelled. They left first
base uncovered two or three stood
idly by and did CASTOR and Alphonse
stunt with a dinky hit off an Oakland
bat. and if no other opportunity pre-
sented itself they played for the batter
at first base rather than watch for a
runner at third or home.
Altogether MORNINGS bandits con-
verted eight hits into eight runs with
the assistance OF six errors and num-
berless misplays thrown in by the
| Orphans. One of the hits was home
run. which Nealon slammed against the
left field fence driving in Sheehan
ahead of him. Another was long two
sacker. which Henderson picked off in
the fourth, scoring Campbell

/ the first when Streib was safe on a
fielder's choice which nipped Spencer
at the plate. Streib stole second and
scored on nifty single by Croll After
that they never figured. though occa-
sionally getting a man around to the
last corner
Cy Moreing's men grabbed off a
couple of runs in the first. fifth and

scores in the third and fourth. kept
the fans from doing off. Lane pitched
steady game for the losers and with
support would have had none the worst
OF comparison with Henderson. The
