HOME TEAM UNABLE
TO WIN FROM RIVALS
Visitors Get Winning Score By Home
Run in the Tenth Inning

Not as large crowd as usual turned
out to Sundays game, but the faithful
ones were all there and they sure got
their moneys worth. That the game
really belonged to the locals is beyond
the question OF doubt in our estima-
ton. But Bradley's home run in the
10th inning, with the score tied and
two out, after he had already whipped
the air a couple OF times, settled all
disputes.
Bradley is known as a dangerous
hitter; as several times in the past he
has lifted long flies to the outfeld
which came near going over the rail-
ing. But on this occasion it was un-
expected. Not even Stevens ever
dreamed that anything so disastrous
was going to result when he sent over
that fast straight one. But if did, and
that ended it. 1t was simply case Of
Frank Merriwel'' at the bat, and had
Bert L. Standish been present he
would have been able to write very
thrilling narrative of the game.
Both teams scored one run apiece
in the 1st inning. The locals added
another run in the third and kept the
lead up to the seventh, when the Wis
itors evened it up where it remained
until the fatal tenth.
In the ninth it looked as though
Moore's hopes would surely send over
the needed run. Parks was on first and
Simpson at second, with only one out,
and a clean bingle would have done
the work. But there was nothing do
ing.
Bylor, the new backstop who halls
from the u" who by the way shows
up better than any catcher we have
had this year, was next up and hit a
long fly to right field, but it was gath
cred in by Welts, who has habit OF
getting nearly everything that comes
out his way. Arnold followed and
took three vicious swings at the ball,
but was unable to connect. Thus
ended our one and best chance to send
over the big run"
Kile, who has been the old reliable
for Wenatchee all season, was in bet
ter form than usual and allowed only
four safeties.
Stevens did not do quite as well,
allowing the visitors nine hits, but
pitched great game, nevertheless,
and worked himself out Of dangerous
holes on three different occasions.
Kelchner, who has been playing
high class ball all season, was the SEN
sation of the game, accepting ten
chances without an error. In the sixth
inning he robbed Stanley of clean
two base hit by running over back ol
first and knocking down hot ground
er, and after rolling over few times
tossed the ball to Parks and got his
man. Had the hit gone safe there
would have been no extra inning as
second and third were occupied at the
time.
Sunday the team will go to We
natchee for the last game before the
Fourth Of July series. A special train
will be run from here and it is earn
estly hoped that big crowd will ac-
company the team.

IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST JUDGE HANFORD
Fierce Charges Filed by Seattle Attorney
Peay

bltter arrARnmenl Ol rSuSidi JudsC
c. H. Hanford for the district OF
Washington, whom he characterized as
judicial pervert, moral bankrupt
and a tool OF corruption and special
privilege, was voiced in Washington
Tuesday by Attorney John Perry OF
Seattle in an affidavit filed with Con-
gresham George w. Norris of Neb-
raska, which supplements the i'm
peachment charges brought against
Hanford by Congressman Victor l..
Berger Of Wisconsin.
Nine specifications of alleged mis-
conduct are made in Pery's affidavit,
most of which are included in the Ber-
ger resolution.
Perry declares that Judge Hanford
violated the oath Of Office by refusing
to give equal justice to rich and poor
alike.
Perry charges that Hanford is the
tool of the Seattle, Renton & Southern
Electric Railway; that he is AN agent
of corrupt politicians" and has en-
joined citizens from holding recall
election in Seattle on March II, 1911.
In asserting that Hanford abused
his power and discretion" in behalf
of Franklin Scobie, plaintiff in suit
Perry points out that Scobie's interest
in the suit was shown to be only 7
cents, and that Judge Hanford's de-
cision thwarted the will Of 10000 vo-
tiers.
Judge Hanford, Perry asserts, con-
spired'' with Attorneys Carr and Nc
Cord OF Seattle in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings OF 1905 in which the Alaska
Packers association was interested.
He charges that Hanford gave the
attorneys as receivers, fee of $140,-
900, and that the two lawyers and
Hanford then organized the Hanford
Irrigation & Power Company.
Perry declares that the attorneys
were commercially and financially as
sociated with Hanford in this deal.
Later, Perry charges, Judge Han
ford set aside judgement for $40
secured by Russian named Melovich
against the Stone & Webster corpora
ton for the loss of an arm.
In conclusion Perry asserts thai
Judge Hanford has lost the confidence
OF all law-abiding citizens.
The house committee on judiciary
will fix a date tomorrow for the forma
hearing Of charges against Judge Han
ford.
While the jurist decision disfranchis
ing Leonard Olson for failure to, give
allegiance to the constitution is the is
sue that started the agitation agains
the western judge. it is, according t.
the views of many congressman, tht
least serious OF the charges agains
him. The accusation that he drink
intoxicating liquor to excess and tha
while affected by the results of thi
habit he presides at the trial of cases
| is regarded as a matter of the mos
damaging character.

Pirates occupied the islands along the
Virginia shore AT their pleasure. In DC
tober. 1899, Colonel Gusts. who had es-

ship had anchored near Smiths Island
(probably In Bulock's or Great Eastern
Channel, between Smiths and Mock Horn
islands, and twelve men had landed and
shot hogs and beeves and taken them TO
the ship.
The Colonial records contain little to
show the islands ownership after II went
out OF the hands OF Captain John Smith,
but In 1886 the island was granted to
John Neale and passed from him at an
early date into the hands Of Major Gen
eral John Gusts. A grandson OF the
jor general. the Hon. John Custis, OF
Arlington. married Miss Parke. and had
son, Daniel Parke Custis, who was the
first husband OF Martha Washington. the
original Lady OF the Land. This son was
an aid to General Washington at York
town when he was twenty-eight years old.
He was favorite OF the general. who
had made him practically his son. and
was devoted in turn to the infant son OF
Daniel Parke Custis.
