Crangeville vs. Professionals.
Everything last Sunday
base ball. The Orangeville team
had arrnged to meet the Cotton
wood team last Sunday to try con
clusions on the diamond, but when
the ''Cottonwood team" lined
the boys from this place found they
had run up against the unexpected
for Cottonwood had imported
men that could handle the ball like
slight-of-hand men do their little
tricks. They had the best catcher
in the state, Fred Gilbreth of Mos
cow, and twn|of Lewiston's best
players. Some of our boys were
sore and others sorer, but there
was fuu aud excitement galore
Everyone knew Orangeville was
there for four fifths of the grand
stand was occupied by our people
and the way they hallowed would
have put to Bhame a thousand how
ling coyotes. The road betweeu here
and the scene of the contest was
kept warm with the long line of
teams that traveled it, and the rac
ing along the] way was about as
exciting as the ball game. It is
estimated that 250 people went from
here. There was plenty of money
from here to back the home team
and some of it was left there too,
but Cottonwood lovers of sport
were uot game enough to accept a
bet of 1100 that our boys could
beat them if they would exchange
the Moscow catcher for a Cottou
wood catcher or a 8500 bet that we
could win a game from them here
next Sunday providing the Cotton
wood boys alone would comprise
the team. The Orangeville nine
played the poorest game of the
season, allowing Cottonwood to
score 14 to their one.

The Charge Was Murder.
The two days preliminary bear
ing in the Orrin Price case at Stites
closed Friday. The jury's find
ings were that Price bad com
mitted murder, but no specific de
gree waH given in the holdings and
the defendant was given the ad
vantage of bail. His bonds were
fixed at 82,500, but as he was un
able to raise the security, was
taken to the couuty jail at Mt.
Idaho. There seems to be a pre
vailing opinion that Price was
greatly provoked by the indignant
manner shown him by the plain
tiffs. It was reported by outside
papers that the defense tried to
prove that the shot from Leacb's
gun was the one that killed the
baby, but that statement was not
true, as the defense admitted the
assertion of the plaintiffs that the
gun was discharged accidentally
while Leach was trying to subdue
the frightened team, and that the
bullet struck one of the horses.
The defense brought up nothing
except the evidence procured by
the Btate. It will be an important
case and watched closely when it
comes up for trial at the coming
term of the district court.
Broke His Wrist.
A. C. Aawson, proprietor of the
wholesale liquor house in this city,
met with a painful accident at
Fish lake near Moore's station yes
terday. He left here Monday with
Geo. D. Smith, Frank Hogau and
J. Frost for an outing in the moun
tains and while going down over
the rocks to the lake fell, break
ing his wrist. Dr Campbell was
telephoned for and left immedi
ately, but as the distance is over
40 miles it was probably a painful
wait for the injured man. His
many friends here hope for his
speedy recovery and regret the un
fortunate ending of what promised
to be a pleasant vacation.
Cracker Jack Strike.
Geo. K. Reed received a tele
phone message from the Hump
Tuesday stating that a very rich
strike had been made at the Crack
er Jack on Monday. The ore is
reported to be the richest yet un
covered and the indications were
that it was a large body. The vein
on which the strike was made runs
parallel with, and about 18 feet
from the one on which they have
been working, but no effort had
been made before to tap it at depth
although surface croppings showed
good values. The news is very
gratifying to the stockholders and
goes to further prove the perman
ent richness of the camp.

Cut Phones Out of Hump.
Frank Brown received a mes
sage from the interior department
at Washington stating that the
phones must be taken out from the
Hump. The reason for the issu
ance of such an order is that the
telephone company had extended
its licenses over the forest reserve
lands without a permit. The tele
phone company filed papers with
the secretary of the interior ask
ing for the permit, and the matter
has received no attention. The
company will try hard to get the
permit granted, for should the
phones be taken out a great many
people, not only of this country,
but the eastern' people, would be
greatly inconvenienced.
