Harley Fern, infant son. of Chas
3 and Amber Alden, died this morning1 at
' their home, on ' Sixth street. The babe
' was but seven weeks old last Saturday,
- but had been with them long enough to
attach itself so firmly, not only to bis
r: parents, bat to the members of the
V family of its grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
" , Joles, that the little child will be great
ly missed.' ". . ' ;
Mr. W. T. Gardner,, superintendent
of the BoyB and Girls' Aid Society, is in
the city today. He came up to be pres
ent at the trial of the Hawthorne case,
but as Mrs. Hawthorne, mother of the
children who were sent below a few
weeks ago, failed to appeer, the case was
dismissed in default. . Mr. Gardner says
a beautiful boy baby, 6 months old, was
brought to the home yestarday, and he
is very anxious to have some family
adopt it and raise It as their own child.
Anyona wanting the same should apply
at once,' ' ; ' " ' ;' '
Although we are not champions of
the Chinese element in this city, still in
behalf of humanity we must say that
there are a number ot . boys and young
men who are, in- their own estimation,
making heroes'! of themselves by beat
ing Chinese; "but In reality are nothing
but brutes. Laying aside all opinions
on the Chinese question, these men go
about their business without annoy
ing anyone, and consequently are
the last people in the world who de
serve maltreatment. Only the other
day one of the most peaceable China
men in the city was severely beaten by
a young bully, without the least reason
more than to satisfy bis brutal nature.
Parents who know their boys do such
things as this, and do not endeavor to
put a stop to it, are without doubt worse
than their offspring, and deserve pan
iehment in proportion.

The Tournament Ended.
Last night the bowling tournament
ended, with twelve games oat of the six
teen in favor of the Umatilla House
bowlers. In the eight games played on
the club alleys the club team won but
one, while in the last eigbt, played on
the Umati'la House alleys, they won
three, which goes to prove that tbey can
do better bowling on the outside alleys
than they can on their own or that there
was a marked improvement . in their
playing daring the tournament, which is
very likely to be the reason, since the
members of the club team practiced
more and with greater care than they
had heretofore. .
The results for the' four games played
last night were as follows :
Club . Umatilla
214. ... '., . . . . .First Game 248
263 Second Game 229
207.. Third Game........r.;209
216. . . . .... . .Fourth Game. . : .249
We hope that this will not be the last,
as well as the first, tournament. The
club boys do not feel discouraged in the
least over their defeat, and would readily
accept anotiier challenge at any time.
DIED.
Arrangements have been made by the
Dalles football team to play a matched
game on next Saturday, New Year's day,
with J? red AierrU'B Hammers of Port
land. Oar boys are practicing ail tbev j
possibly can, and as they nave a good
team, an interesting game will be put
up. The only thing that is against
them is the number of new players
that they have in their team, which, ow
ing to the fact that they have not had
sufficient time for practice, will some
what weaken the Dalles line up.
Tile game will be held at the fair
grounds about 2 o'clock Saturday after
noon, and as it is bnt seldom that such
an interesting one can be witnessed at
this place.there is little doubt that every
one who possibly can will attend. The
price of admission to the game will be
25 cents for both ladies and gentlemen
while children under 12 years of age wi
be admitted free if accompanied by es
corts. The following is a list of players
in the Dalles team :
H. A. Myers, c. ; T. Smiley, r. g. ; W,
Browne, 1. g. ; J. Elton, r. t. ; G. Bur
nett, 1. 1. ; G. Bar tell, 1. e. ; B. Fisher,
r. e. ; G. A. Clarke, 1. h. b. ; Harry Kel
ley, r. h. b. : Bert Barrett, h. b. ; Will
Fields, f . b. ; J. Maloney, sub for tackle ;
Jim Fisher, sub for guard. Vic Marden,
manager. '
The above players are all well adapted
to their places; are stout, hardy and
anxious for a game, and there is little
doubt that they will make it interesting
for the Ramblers.

has been afflicted with a complication of
heart and kidney troubles, and death,
came as a mild relief to his Buffering.
Mr. Ward ranks among the old settlers
of Oregon, having been here over thirty
years, in ine wa ne ran a saw mm at -Hood
Biver, and afterwards built what
is known as Ward's mill, in the mount

V. Kelly, and four sons, Joseph, Fred,
Victor and Samuel, all of whom were
engaged with him in farming, mill and
stock business.
He was about 77 years old, and was
probably as well known as any man in
the county. As none of his family are
in the city, full particulars could not be
obtained concerning him.
He was a member of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows, and he will be
buried at 2 o'clock tomorrow under the
auspices of that order in their cemetery

three minutes, turned to ride away,
when Oliver drew hie pistol, which
snapped the first time, and the second
time he shot French just above the right
ear, the ball coming out in the left eye.
Burt French, the murdered man's
brother, was within thirty feet of him
when he fell off his horse, and picked
him np, but he never spoke, and only
groaned once. There were eigbt of his
men there at work and they allowed the
assassin to escape.
The sheriff went from Burns to the
ecene of the murder, and will probably
get the murderer. His men stretched a
tent over him and ielt him juBt where
be fell until the arrival of the coroner to
hold an inquest. The sad occurrence
cast a deep gloom over the entire com
munity. ,
