East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-05-16

yesterday. The Athenans put the
first man up around the circuit for
score. while in the first three innings
two, three succession. Then to cap
the climax one of Lefty Smiths wild
shoots caught Cronin on the knee
when he was at bat in the third and
Pendleton was apparently at the mer-
cy of the enemy for no other catcher
was to be had. However, Harlan
saved the day by stepping off from
the mound and donning the bird cage,
while Dickson assumed the task of
twirling. These two worked together
like tried team and kept the Athe-
ma sluggers at their mercy.
Pendleton's first score came in the
fourth when Nelson drew a pass and
purloined second. Then when Alex
ander's grass cutter was fumbled by
Stone, Nelson raced home, while Alex
ander successfully negotiated the
pathway to second. Powell followed
with clean single which put the
young cyclone of Pendleton on the
third sack. RAIDER flew out but Har-
lan's sacrifice gave Alexander an easy
trip to the final landing and the in
ming ended with the score of 2 to /.
In the sixth the colts annexed an
other. With one down, Powell was
given a ticket, stole the next two bases
and skurried home on passed ball.
The fourth score came in the seventh
by the phenomenal speed work Of
Dickson. He drew a pass and hot
footed it off for second on the first
ball over. Nelson laid one down to
short and Dickson beat it for third,
where an attempt was made to catch
him. However, the runner beat the
bail to the bag, but his momentum
forced him off the station of safety
while the ball was still in the hands
of the baseman. The latter immedi-
ately attempted to tag Dickson, where
upon that player sprinted for home,
closely pursued by the baseman and
with the death dealing ball scarcely
an inch from his back. Gradually the
distance between the two increased
| until the pursuer, realizing the futil-
ity of the chase, hurled the sphere to
the high heavens in an attempt to
put it in the catcher's glove.
The other two for Pendleton came
in the eighth. RAIDER was given a
safe journey to first and on Harlan's
single reached third, and then when
Hays and Leonard both bumped the
ball, both of the former filtered to
the home pan.
Athena's last two scores came in
the ninth. Lieuallen opened up with
hit and stole second, reached third
on passed ball and came home on an
error That same error gave Myrick
life at first and second and after he
had pilfered third he sped to the rub
Der when Booher struck the ball to
RAIDER.
Considering the fact that Athena's
lineup was much changed, the Colts
put up a clever article of ball. Mel

FRONT|ERSMAN
STILL RUGGED
DICK JONES, EXPRESS RIDER,
SCOUT AND INDIAN FIGHTER,
FOLLOWS THE TRAILS AS
BIRD OF PASSAGE.

On the streets of Round Mountain
this week-and he walked into town,
too-was an old man who bore as
active a part in the making of pio-
neer western history as any other
one individual that ever crossed the
Rockies, says the Nugget.
This was Dick Jones, who was for
twenty-five years Gen. Crooks as
sistant chief of scouts. During this
period he went thru all the western
Indian wars, and had enough ex-
periences to fill several books. He
took part also in the campaigns of
Miles and Lawton in the southwest.
Jones came to this western coun-
try in 1850 from his home in Ohio,
where he was born. For five years
he was a rider for the Pony express,
having a n~inety-six mile daily ride
on the California end of the line.
Later on, at the request of the War
department, f~orty-six of the express
riders ven intoz the scout service.
Their training and knowledge of
the country, and Injured as they were
to hardship, made them invaluable
for the purpose. Jones was among
thD hhAibC 40 Woo
also Captain Jack Crawford, the poet
scout.
Jones was In the battle In 1867
with the Piutes in this state, up In
Washoe county. when Gen. Crook
with some 400 soldiers joined issue
with 1900 of the redskins and licked
them to a standstill. After that the
Piutes were good. 1t was Jones who
located the Indians. All the other
scouts had failed in the task, and
Gen. Crook assigned the duty to
Jones as a last hope. Jones found
them. all right, but not until after
he had a little personal alteration
with five of them. and the doughty
little scout had to dispatch four of
them to the happy hunting grounds.
Jones narrowly escaped the Custer

GREEK DANCERS ENTERTAIN.

The god Pan was the favorite of
the many deities of the ancient
Greeks of those who we're the lovers
of the field dances of that physically
perfect people. and his pipe, or lutte,
was the instrument Of music with
which he set the goats or sheep to
stand on their feet and perform
strange feats of dancing. The lutte of
the Greek musicians, Cost Karnsotas,
and the guitar of Peter Pullos, ma
tive Greeks, will have been heard by
the descendants of that classic people,
at the smelter town the past week,
in the halls of the coffee mouse, and
the young women who have been
leading in the dance in which all the
Greeks have been engaged, have been
the attraction of the fun-loving men
of the east. The company arrived
in the district on Friday night and on
the train the two young men named
as the musicians gave enjoyable
specimens of their skill on. their ma
tive instruments to the weary travel
lers who we're over three hours late
reaching home and supper on that
evening.

massacre on the Little Big Horn in
rs. He had ridden into Clusters
camp forty-eight hours before the
disaster with dispatches from Gen.
Terry. All that saved him from the
fate of the brave 200 who died with
Custer on that summers day was the
fact that Custer sent him back to
Terry with return dispatches. As is
we'll known, but n person escaped
the massacre half-breed Grow
scout. Jones says that an hour be-
fore the command was wiped out this
half-breed offered to get Custer
through the Sioux lines. but Custer
refused to leave his men.
Despite his active life, and the fact
he has been wounded no Tess than
eight times, Jones, though white
haired. Is a rugged specimen of the
frontiersman. He gets a pension of
$50 a month from the government
and this renders it unnecessary for
him to work steadily for a living.
He knocks around enc country
usually walking from point to point
by preference-and does odd Jobs.
He objects to staying in a place more
than a couple of weeks at a time.
Before coming to Round Mountain
he had put in a couple of weeks
working in Schmidlein's ranch up
the valley. harvesting the potato
crop. From here he walked over to
looking for another job.
And SO he drifts-a bird of passage.

NEW YORK STATE
LAIR Of WILDCAT
ONLY STATE IN THE UNION
WITHOUT A LAW TO OPERATE
SCHEMES OF ADVENTURES.

The lair of the wildcat is now
nested in New York. In the deep
canyons where the sunlight seldom
penetrates the artful feline lies in
wait for its prey. Every mining
state in the union, including Ne
yada, has an anti-wildcat law that
operates to the exclusion of Doubt
full schemes backed by adventures
who have nothing but unlimited gall
as the capital for their operations.
New York has no wildcat law. 1t
has become the mother of every con-
fidenee game that has been driven
from the frontier. In the shades of
Pine street, New street and Broad
street the genius of the Dunco artist
finds a fertile soil which he cultiya-
ties with an assiduity that yields most
appalling returns. The New York
Herald recently was induced to in
vestigate the Johnny-Come-Alongs
with the result that IL submits
facts that are startling as they are
true. In the shadow of the New
York s~ub-treasury there are firms
of swindlers that should not be per-
mitted to exist anywhere within call
of a police patrol box. 1t is estimat-
ed that the receipts of these con-
Germs is not less than 5000. 900 a day
and that, within the last three years,
800, 900, 600 has pessed through the
hands of fraudulent stockholders.
Thirty millions of this amount went
to a certain firm whose name would
not furnish material for a guessing
contest. This company, working
under numerous aliases, is reported
to have a mailing list of 5000
suckers" each of whome has
bought wildcats from New York
houses. These figures are not the
guess work of hurried reporters but
conservative estimates of the
postoffice department issued by Post
office Inspector Dickinson in charge
of the New York division.
They have done more harm to
legitimate investments" the report
continues, than all the appeals for
conservatism have done good. The
marvellous part of their insiduous add
vance is that they use the same old
buneo talk, Sc shallow 1t would seem
ridiculous to an average intellect, yet
the same victims are found biting
again and again"
