There is a tolerably good umbrella at
the court house, which somebody left
there and evidently forgot all about it.
It it in chart of John Fitzgerald who

real owner can get it, and then only
after he has accurately described it
brands and earmarks. Such a descrip

secure an umbrella worth a dollar and a

Bryan says prosperity killed him.

bj toeing tany crown an 1 its cap -
tain, Max Bartell. Of the ongi
rig; nai line-
np that met Heppner last October lee
than half remained. At tne gaire had
been arranged and printing and adver-
tiaing d jn by the HepDuer players, the
Palle boys were in honor bound to
meet them, even if they knew certain
defeat awaited them. Ia fact Tbe Dalle
boy wer? compelled, under the circum
stances, to go ;to Heppner with a rem
nant of tbe first organization, bat prin
cipally witb the high school line-up,
headed by their captain, Johnny Cooper.
Ia justice to the latter, for his fiat game
as captaio he did remarkably well.
Heppner earned one touch down by
work and Dlaving. one was the result of
a flake, and caused by the Pallet cap
tain mistaking the remarks of one of the
Heppner player for those of the um
pire, and the second' one, Tbe Pallet
boys claim, should not bave been al
lowed. In all, however, Heppner dis
played excellent team work, the result
of having a hired coach, while The Palles
played the poorest ball in the history
of the organization. The latter clearly
outclassed tbe former in condition, and
despite Heppner's knowledge of the
game and splendid executive work, if
Tb3 Palles had possessed the same or
ganization and bad played the game
they did on Thanksgiving witb Pullman,
there would have been a different story.
Tbe Wasco game on Saturday was a
tie, though the Wasco giants cannot
play ball with our high school organiza
tion, which is the best of its kind in
Oregon. .
The members object serioualy to the-
Oregooian' report concerning the game
at Wasco. When the first half ended
tbe Palles team was on Wasco's thirty-
yard line, and at no time in the second
half did Wasco have the ball, and at the
close of the last half Tbe Palles was
moving rapidly and was within seven
yards of a touch-down. This was ac
complished by a crippled team, weigh
ing much lest than Wasco ; bnt despite
this the latter was no match for Tbe
Pallet. Murray, qurter-back, with a
broken collar bone of lest than a month ;
Groehler, half-back, with a dislocated
collar bone from tbe Thanksgiving
game; Williams, half-back, with ankle
tprained in tbe Heppner game, and all
'he men very sore from the bard game
with Heppner on Friday, were some of
the impedimentsencoontered ia Wasco'
game. The majority of the Wasco team
weigh over 200 pounds, but witn our
boy. In ordinary condition they must
certainly realize they would be no match
for the Palles team, which, as it was or
ganized for Heppner's and Wasco'
games, was of high school character.
. Tbe result-of tbe Heppner game does
not discourage tbe football player, and
they propose to redeem lost laurels be
fore tbe close of the season.

To the Editor: In Saturday 'a issue

tbat said artiele was not given for publi

other bad, did all in their power to ap
prehend the highway man. but from the
description given them were unable to ,
do so.

Brother Doward and sonht la in.tnra

came to 00 of the brethera. purporting
, to be from Peon, where Brother Dowaid
h4 lived, giving a bad reputation to
, Brother Poward as to character. Thi
disturbed them not a little, but Brother
; Bright hsooened to Das that wav. aad
he was instrumental in irettin Doward
to take tbe place. He wa shown th
letter. It bore a postmark different
from the ooe on tbe inside. This was
suspicious. It transpired that the pa

tablet loaned to Kroger a day or so be

something like it. As there coald be so
trace (00 ad of any one such a purport
ed to sign the letter, and the postmark
being different, it was al once apparent
that Kroger bad done tbe wbole thing.
The matter and papers were turned
over to Brother Bright, sad when Kro
ger heard of it he at once went over to
tbe United Brethren and obtained a
country appointment with them. Their
elder got wind of tbe matter and we

ing incident to a number of persons that
were gathered ia S. L. Brooks' store in

Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomat
tox. In a skirmish oa the day of th
surrender Rasselt had personally cap
tured a young confederate named James
Gordon, for whom he took quite a fence
before the fortunes of peace decreed
their separation. Oa the thirtieth aa
aiversary of Lee't turrender, April 9,
ISifti, Russell wts in the Kingsley poet-
I office when a stranger, past middle life.
