Boise, July 2. Two hungry men and his refusal to hurryvn told up
no dinner, no clothes, no home. This j on the other. The first set was a

town Friday evening about 6 o'clock,
Two young men who have been batch-'
ing together, living in a tent close to
the river near the lower bridge, had
prepared a savory mulligan stew, put
it to boil over a small oil stove in their
tent, and concluded to cool off with a
refreshing bath while the stew was
cooking.
A hungry canine became cognizant
of the stew while the bathers were . of yesterday, won by Walla Walla, 1

moment dinner, tent, clothing and all
the worldly possessions of the two
men had gone up in smoke, and they
were obliged to call for help from the'Walia nas fjve men on her pitching

the water to survey the remains of
their abode.
Lee Spangler was acquainted with
the men and he interested himself in
securing some clothing and) supplies

Marshfk-ld Building Denied.
Marshfield, June 30. Coos county
will not be allowed to have a special
building at the San Francisco exposi
tion as was planned in spite of the
efforts of Mayor Simpson of North
Bend and the work of Harris D. H.
Connick, director of works of the ex
position, who, as a friend of Mr.
Simpson, endeavored in behalf of Coos
county to induce the fair officials to
permit the building.
The decision of the fair manage
ment is a great disappointment to
Mayor Simpson as he has for some
time past worked hard in his efforts
to carry out their plan.

Johns Captures tennis cup. ,
Pendleton( Juy 2. James S. Johns
er8lwhile 8tar track- athlete of the
University of Oregon, yesterday won
'new athletic laurels w;n he cap-
tured the city championship in the
first tennis tournament ever held
here. He won the finals during the
afternoon from Frank R. Atkins by
taking three straight sets, 9-7, 6-1
and 6-3.
The tournament began last Friday,
and by the process of elimination the
contest was harrowed down to Johns
and Atkins. Previous to their match.
Johns had defeated in turn R. E.
Chloupek, W. C. McKinney and C. E.
Nelson, while Atkins had won from
C. O. Rhinehart, Foland Oliver and
James Bowler. There was e great
deal of interest in the final match
and the odds were in favor of Atkins.
'Johns' style of playing proved too
J much for him, however. Atkins is a
quick, nervous player, inclined to
I press the play as hard as possible.
Johns is deliberate, taking plenty of
time in serving and between serves
nally won the marginal two games,.
the other two sets were easy for him.
