G. Gunnerson and Minta Goodman re
turned Tuesday lrom a three weeks' trip
to the Pacific coast They visited the
principal cities on the coast in Oregon
and Washington and report a pleasant
trip. The coast cities are enjoying a
healty business and the country generally
has good times. Products of all kinds
bring good prices. Salmon, which is
the principal fish production ofthe rivers,
finds a ready market at seven cents per
pound. Harvesting was in full progress
on the other side ol the Cascades, ft
This paper, on what it supposed to be
good authority, connected the name of
Robt. J. Amberry with the suicide of the
girl at Neche last week. Mr. Amberry
says that he did not go away with the
girl and that he was but slightly ac
quainted with her at all until this spring.
The PIONEER EXPRESS regrets exceed
ingly in doing Mr. Amberry the injustice,
We never intentionally do anyone in
justice and use every care, especially in
such cases, to get the facts just right, but
sometimes, as in this instance, important
news comes just before we go to press
and it is impossible to verify details.
The Fats and Leans.
The game of ball between the fats and
leans Friday evening, attracted an aud
ience like a small sized circus. Each of
the players appeared in full uniform pro
vided for the occasion, and no one
knew what the other's costumes looked
like, until they began to dress in the city
hall. When they formed in line, headed
by the band, they looked more like a
contingent from Barnum's circus, than
baseball players. Some of the costumes
were ridiculous to extreme.
The performance on the diamond ap
peared as interesting to'the audience as
if they had been professionals. Not a
player in the lot had caught a ball for the
past ten years, and some as long as
twenty years ago. The aggregate weight
of the fat nine was 2,200 pounds. Joe
Genevey.the pitcher of the heavy weights,
capped the climax in dress as well as
playing. T. R. Shaw, who caught for
the leans, had a finger broken, and has
been carrying his hand in a bandage ever
since. The receipts were 826, which go
to the India relief fund. The score stood
28 to 18 in favor of the fats.
Suicide.
Wm. Smilie of Hamilton committed
suicide Wednesday morning, by cutting
his throat with a razor.
For some time past, Mrs. Smilie has
been noticing his strange actions and has
been keeping a close watch over him.
Wednesday morning he got up at five
o'clock and went to the barn. Shortly
after, he came in and went to a bureau
drawer, reaching around for something,
and then went out again. Mrs. Smilie
immediately dressed and went to the
barn, where a ghastly sight met her gaze.
On the floor lay her husband with his
throat cut from ear to ear, and blood
running in streams from the wound. He
made a few twitching movements and
died almost immediately. Only a few
minutes elapsed between the time he left
the house and when Mrs. Smilie went to
the barn. It seemed from the blood on
the walls, that he first drew the razor on
one side of his throat and then changed
over and completed the awful deed.
Mr. Smilie was a prominent man in
municiple affairs, and well liked by all
who knew him. He was chairman of
the board of township supervisors of
Carlisle township for many years, which
position he held up to the time he mov
ed to Hamilton.
Mr. Smilie was getting in comfortable
circumstances financially, having a good
farm in Carlisle township, which by hard
work and strict attention to business,
brought him a good income.
He leaves a wife and a large number
of children, the eldest of which is but
sixteen years old.
The Neche Pionio.
The international picnic held at Neche,
Monday, under the auspices of the A. O.
U. W. of Manitoba and North Dakota,
ip conceded as one of the most success
ful and well managed gatherings ever
held under one management, and a great
deal of the credit is due to the officers in
charge at Neche, under the guidance of
Mayor Joe Lee, who acted as chairman
during the day. and saw that everything
was carried out in detail. Marshal Jack
son performed his duty, and the peace of
the day was not marred in the least.
The crowd was variously estimated at
from four to six thousand people. One
excursion train started from Winnipeg,
and the other from Grand Forks, both
packed to the platforms by the time they
arrived at their destination. The 90th
Battalion band from Winnipeg, and the
Hamilton, Walhalla and Pembina bands
from this side of the line, kept the air
reverberating with music. The principle
attractions were base ball and foot ball
games, between the best clubs of local
fame. Attorney Kneeshaw gave the ad
dress of welcome, and ex-Mayor An
drews of Winnipeg gave the response for
the Canadian brethren. Cannon
O'Meara of St. John's College, gave the
address for the A. O. U. W.
In the Grafton-Cavalier game, Grafton
won by a score of 10 to 4. In the Grand
Forks-Winnipeg game, Grand Forks
won by a score of 5 to 2. After supper
the two winning teams, Grand Forks and
Gr&fton, played, resulting in a victory
for the former by a score of 18-5. In the
football match, Gretna won from Bath-
mmpmmm
Everybody that could get away on die
4th visited neighboring towns, but St,
Vincent captured the greater portion,
The day was pleasant and everybody
looked for a "day off.'*
St Vincent had arranged a miscellan
eous program that pleased everybody.
There was races, baseball, gun club
shooting, orations, etc.
Not the least among the features ofthe
program was an exhibition game of base
ball between the fats and the leans of
Pembina, in their full ^uniform, resulting
in a victory for the heavy weights.

C. E. Lewis, the well known kfiniie
apolis commission man, and & S.
Holmes, Jr., of the agricultural depart
ment at (Washington, H. L. Hoch
Minneapolis, and C. W. Preston, of the
Upson farm of Buxton, passed through
the city last night. They canie in on the
flyer and returned over the Northern
Pacific. They are inspecting wheat
fields, and go from here to South Da
kota. Mr. Holmes is an expert in wheat,
and while here he examined a number of
samples taken from surrounding fields.
He pronounced a sample from Wm.
Budge's farm near the university about
the best he had seen in the state, and
said that even that must have rain very
soon, and lots of it, if theheads were to
produce more than shrunken, shriveled
kernels. The trouble is that the roots
have been so dried that they cannot sup
ply food for the growing plant and at the
same time fill out the heads.—Herald.
