Pitcher Remington and Mclvor have
been dropped from the payroll 01 me
Pippins that the diminishing gate
receipts along the circuit can meet
La Grande's eipcnses. It wl a mu
. tnal agreemtnt proposition all around.
Mclvor baa been getting weaker
through overwork and desired to re
i..m to Seattle: Remington, too. want
ed back where he came from, aud It
was renerally agieed that the financ
es of the circuit, both at borne and
abroad, could not Justify big salaried
men and Barry and Smith agreed to
drop out. The team has been placed
in the bands of Carl King while on
the road, and the Pippins will finish
cut the season with the lineup.
"Whttie" M-Bride, the Washington
state league catcher, passed through
the city this morning on bis way to
Join the team at Boise, and be will
assist King In receiving Mountain,
Fox and Fltcbner.
"With such an alignment of affairs
it Is probable that the team can be
continued throughout the season with
out any greater acquirement of obli
gations for which there are no funds.
The donations of the business men
here and gat receipts are thought
sufficient to meet team's expense of
this makeup.

indefinitely, and will probably taking

In heat and paying crowds are out

to the directors to shave and prune

W Ith Troubles.
(Baker Democrat.)
Two soldiers' of the regular army
garrison stationed at Fort Boise, at
Boise, Idaho, are in jail in this city,
as the result of their attempt to run
things In the red light district last
night, The two belligerents were of
a party of several men who stopped
off in this city on their way home
from the national encampment. Their
train went through here yesterday
afternoon and the men getting off
as it sood in the station missed It,
eitber accidentally or by intent. In
tending, so they state1, to go on last
evening.
About 11:30 last evening the two
offenders went to tte redllght dis
trict, entered one of the houses and
tried to run things to suit them
selves. They were forcibly ejected,
and drawing their revolvers threat
ened to shoot up the place and pro
ceeded to kick in the front door. A
call was sent to the police and Offi
cer Nelson responded. The two dis
turbers, when 4hey saw him ap
proaching, tried to make a getaway,
but he caught op with them. One
of them drew' bis gun but Nelson
drew flret and soon disarmed them
both, tbey making little resistance
when he "got the drop" on them.
They were taken to the city Jail
and lodged in a cell, where tbey will
have a chance to cool off by the time
police court opens this fflfroill.
They . gave the names of Johit
Johnson and E. E. Omera, but these
are probably ' fictitious. They had
little or no money when arrested.
Their offense against the United
States army is punishable by greater
penalty than the charges against
them here, and the actions will re
sult in bringing severe punishment
on their heads when" they are return
ed to the Boise barracks.

Virginia Christian, who is 18 years

a frail little woman, 70 years old,

over the head, finally ramming a tow
el down the woman's throat and chok
ing her to death. The murderess ten
