HOW RAG WAS WON.
Weston Champions Batted 245 and
Stole 70 Bases

Heavy batting and daring work on
bases were the factors that contrib
uted largely to the success of the
Weston champions in landing the Blue
Mountain league pennant, says the
Weston Leader. The team maintain
ed a batting average OF PAS for the
season and stole a total of 76 bases.
While statistics from the opposing
teams are not available, it is likely
| that the champions have a good lead
over Pendleton, Athena and Pilot
| Rock in batting and base running.
Catcher Keefe is an all around mar
vel on the diamond and his stick
work was especially remarkable. He
was tower of strength to the team
in every department and through his
| skilled coaching kept the boys in
stilled with ginger. Keefe was at bat
SO times and got "a hits. an average
| of 462 per cent. In the last two
| games he fattened his average beau
tifully by batting sSS per cent. He
stole IA bases. Three of his hits
counted for two bases and two for
three bases.
w. NorDean, the teams manager,
ranked next to Keefe with the willow,
batting 357 per cent He faced the
pitcher 56 times, and on Just a score
OF these occasions he laced the ball
past the enemy's fielders He led the
team In base running, with 1S thefts.
He negotiated four two base hits and
two three base hits.
In long and effective drives A. Nor
Dean, the tall sycamore at the first
sack, excelled. His ambition was to
swat the ball and swat it hard. He
fell down on bunting, but generally
delivered the goods when a long hit
meant runs. He got no less than six
doubles and two triples out of 21
hits in 65 times up, and batted 323
per cent. Al Is not much for speed
but can stretch from one base to an
other, and stole seven bags by this
process.
Blomgren, the speedy shortstop, got
Is hits in 62 times up. an average of
243 per cent. Two of his hits were
double. He purlolned nine sacks with
an easy conscience.
Groves starred as a second baseman
and batted 23S per cent. He stole three
bases.
Wheeler, slab artist of local re-
nown helped in base running to win
his games. Eleven times he pilfered
prettily. He batted 233 per cent.
w. O'Harra-At bat 2s times, hits
8, per cent 215, stolen bases s.

FRENCH COMMISSARIES
DUPED BY HUSBANDS

Paris.-In future, II will not be so
easy a matter for husbands who be-
lieve they have strong evidence which
VIII enable them to obtain a divorce,
to secure the assistance of >iice
commissaries.
When some husbands learned that
they had been supplanted in their
wife's affections they rushed to the
police station and informed the police
commissary that they had been rob-
bed.
When the magistrate accompanied
complaining husband to the address
indicated, he discovered that 1t was
not question of robbery, but that
he had been invited to witness a scene
which afforded the strongest evidence
in favor of divorce in the interests
of the husband.
1t is against the law for police
commissary to go out on an GRAND of
this sort. But dlsillusioned husbands
in their desire to obtain n witness
whose testimony could not be gain
sayed, did not hesitate to res )rt to a
trick.
All tHlS ts " pe ShahSeu ~ S'Su-
lar, which has just been issued, sets
forth that police commissl es will no
longer be allowed to establish judi
c.ally the misfortunes of husbands. III
police magistrate is deceived by q
husband he can take action against
the latter. The husband Is liable TO
be punished for outraging an officer
in the execution of his duties.
In future aspirants for divorce
will be compelled to address them
selves to the judicial authorities. An
| inquiry will be instituted and the po-
lice commissary will say whether the
matter has to be referred to an ex-
amining magistrate. Dame Justice
will then dispose of the case with that
calmness and method which are In
consonance with her dignity.

ROADS RACING FOR COAL.
Three Companies Want TO Be First
on Bering River.

Seattle, Wssh.-A race Of three
railroads for the Bering river coal
fields and the development of that
section of Alaska is only awaiting
word from the government that the
coal may be mined.
According to Stephen Birch. presi-
dent Of the Morgan-Guggenhei Alas
kan Syndicate, the Copper River &
Northwestern railway will build an
extension to the district as soon as the
government makes some arrange
ment for the mining Of the coal.
Harry Whitet Of Los Angeles and
associates say that they have the
money raised to build from Controller
Bay to tap all the coei mines in that
district.
John Rosene. Of the Controller Bay
& Bering Coal railway said yesterday
that he has men clearing the right
of way for the railroad his company
intends to construct to Canyon creek
Mr. Rosene says that 20 men are at
present working the Mcdonald mine
and getting out coal which will be
shipped down the Bering river to Con-
troller bay He reports that an 800
foot tunnel has been completed and
that coal from the mines will soon
find its way to market.

NEW APPEAL COURT BUSY.
English Criminal Tribunal Finds
Many Wrongful Convictions

London.-A years working of the
court of criminal appeal in England
has opened up a terrible picture Of
wrong conviction. Every day while
this appeal court has been sitting,
glaring cases have been brought up
and sometimes as many as three con-
victions a day have been reversed.
Before the appeal court was estab-
lished there was no hope for anyone
connected in England of a criminal
offense, though the Judge hight have
been misdirected the jury or allowed
irrelevant evidence calculated to pre-
judice the mind of the jury towards
the prisoner.
Some judges strongly opposed the
institution of an appeal court It is
easy now to see why they felt nervous
about it, Take the iast days session
Of the appeal judges. A Cornishman
named Robert Rodda had been sent
to five years penal servitude, though
he had reserved that defense in the
police court-a common practice in
England-and the judge at the assize
court told the jury it was merely an
afterthought That was two years
ago, but the court Of appeal has de-
cided the jury was misdirected and
the remaining three years Of the SEN
tence have been quashed.
In another well-known case, an an
! itque dealer, Arthur T. Ellis, was
charged with charging excessive prices
for china sold to a millionaire dry
goods merchant named Dickins, who
had the collecting craze. The Judge
admitted a lot of evidence as to 9TH
er offenses committed by Ellis, not
connected with that charge and a
long sentence resulted The judges
have now decided that such evidence
should not have been admitted and
the conviction is annulled. This court
of criminal appeal promises to be-
come one Of the busiest courts in Eng.
land

SOCIALISTS HAVE CRISIS.
Party in Italy Fails TO Keep I'm Touch
With Working men.

Rome.-The Italian Socialist party
is passing through a severe crisis of
which the outward sign is the resig-
nation Of Signor Bissoiati, the ablest
man in the party, or the editorship of
the Official organ, "Acanti."
The real cause of the failure of the
Italian socialist party in parliament
ia a defect common to nearly all po-
litical parties in Italy-lack Of direct
touch with the working classes. Of the
sos Italian reputies there is only one
bonafide working nan, and even the
socialists, with that exception, are
all professional middle classmen with
out practical experience Of manual Ia
Dor. Thus their socialism is apt to
be academic and lifeless.
In Italy the bureaucracy is supreme,
and it centers in the minister of the
interior. who is invariably prime min
lister also. In order to obtain favors
for the numerous cooperative socie-
ties which the workmen have form
ed. the socialist deputies, like their
nom Catholic colleagues, have to
haunt the ante-chambers Of the home
office. Hence the socialist vote Isl!
usually cast against a minister only
when there is no fear or a ministerial
defeat.

UMAT|LLA INDIANS
HAVE ONE BIG Time
CELEBRATION OF FOURTH
is STILL UNDER WAY
Many Redmen Gathered at Cayuse-
Horse Racing. Gambling and War
Dancing Chief Pastimes-CO Columbia
River Indian Won Big Race Yester-
day.

Indians to the number of several
hundred are still encamped at the
celebration ground at Cayuse and
probably will be for several days to
come. They are still celebrating the
Fourth of July and incidentally en-
joying themselves, as only Indians
can. Gambling of various kinds and
horse racing, together with war dane
ing. is being engaged in daily and
nightly, mostly nightly. for the rea-
son of the midday sun had a tend
ency to cause the red men and wo-
men to seek the shade.
Yesterday the camp was visited by
several hundred white people from
various parts of the county. principal
ly Pendleton. All day long and until
late in the evening the visitors pour
ed into the camp in almost a contin-
uous string, They came on horse
back and in buggies; on bicycles and
in autos.
The big circle is completely form
ed with tepees this year, there being
between IS and 100 in the circle. Then
in addition to these there are large
number scattered through the woods
| between the main camp and the river.
Late in the evening the Indians to
the number of 500 or more departed
for the top of the hill to the north,
where the one big race of the after
noon was held. 1t was four mile
race between a buckskin horse own
ed by Isadore Whitepull the we'll
known Umatilla brave and a roam
horse belonging to a Columbia river
Indian. Though the roam was the
smaller of the two he seemed to be
the favorite, for the reason that ne
had been trained in the sand.
After the Indians had put up $5Oo
in cash, many blankets, shawls, hand
kerchiefs and finery of various sorts
! had been put up or either side ana
there had been much parleying and
waiting around. the manager of the
race gave the signal for the start. For
nearly two hundred yards the racers
were visible to the spectators ana
then they disappeared in cloud OF
dust. That was the last seen of them
for six or seven minutes, when they
again reappeared, coming back over
| the same road. Friends OF the re-
| spective horses were riding by the
side of their favorites, whipping them
shouting, firing off revolvers and
doing all they could 10 urge on the
| racers.
| By this time both horses were COW
cred with sweat and dust until they
looked very much alike, so far as col
or went. and it was not until the END
of the course was reached that 1t was
discovered that the sand trained
horse from the Columbia river had
finished with a lead of 25 or 80 yards
Some of the best races of the 'e'e'
bration thus far are scheduled TO oN
held near the same place this after
noon while others will probably be
held daily during the remain ler OF
this month.

PATIENT RUNS 80 MILES.
Barefoot Man Pursued Across Crook
County Plains

PrinNlle, Ore.-Jesse Powers. who
mas been under the doctors care for
several days suffering from an attack
of fever, escaped from his nurse at
1870 O'Clock Friday morning, and was
pursued over 80 miles of rough, san
dy country in his night clothes and
bare feet, before being taken into
custody at 10 o'clock yesterday. The
attending physician warned Powers
nurse a few hours before that the pa
tient might make an attempt TO es-
cape and that a close watch should be
kept over him.
AS soon as the patient was found
to be missing Nightwatchman Yancy
and Sheriff Frank Elkins were noti-
fled and at 3 o'clock tracks made by
bare feet We're found leading across
the Crooked river bridge toward
Powell Buttes. The sheriff immedi-
ately took his auto and followed the
general course that the insane man
seemed to be taking. AS closely as
the officers could determine, he fol-
flowed the edge of the rimrock on
the west side of Crooked river for a
distance of Is miles or more. At
many places his tracks were found
very near the brink of the cliff which
has perpendicular drop of from so
to 800 feet.
When overtaken Powers was on the
southeast side of Powell Buttes sit
ting under tree. and was without hat
or shoes. The temperature at this
time must have been about so degrees.
Powers will be kept in the county Jail
here until the nature of his trouble
can be determined. When asked

where. But my feet don't feel sore
