"little Bo-Peep"
Lost 200 Sheep
J. R. Breese lost 200 head of
sheep between the McKays last
week. When the herder found out
that he was 200 short he left the
main band and hunted them up.
Then when he tried to locate the
main band he couldn't do it. He
dropped the two hundred again
and finally picked up the big
bunch. Then he couldn't find the
little bunch. The herder became
so befuddled that he didn't know
whether he was going or coming.
He stuck to the sheep, however,
and they took him to John
Demarris' place. Mr. Breese says
the sheep are branded and some
one should find traces of them.
J. G. Clark and wife of Ashwood
came in to help celebrate as well
as to attend to some business mat
ters. The ranchers are busy hay
ing in the Ashwood country. Lots
of rain lately. Some were caught
with hay down but they didn't
mind the work of turning it over.
It made them feel good, Mr. Clark

Baseball the Leading
Attraction
! LOCAL CLUB WINS BIG PURSE
Three Days of Fun and Frolic
Without Accident or Un
seemly Incident
I wag a great celebration. From
sunrise Monday morning until
daybreak today there wag not a
dull moment. Everything was
Pulled off as advertised and every
body enjoyed tbenwelve.
u. t! t. n .
The baseball fans had everv'
"-ecomoinea ttedmond-liend team,
who in reality were the Multno
mah team of Portland. There
were eeen of the winged "M" men
on the team, including DeXeffe,
the invincible southpaw from
Michigan.
Promptly at 2 p. m. Monday Mr.
Stinson tossed the first ball to
Mayor Edwards and the game be
tween Silver Lake and Redmond
was on. The formor club toot an
early lead and was never beaded
by the Redmond team. Silver
Lake won easily 1 1 to 5.
The next game on the program
was between Prineville and the
Indians. It was so late when play
commenced that it was cut down
to seven innings. Prineville out
classed their opponents winning
by a score of 17 to 1.
THE FOURTH
No better weather could be de
sired than was handed out on July
Fourth. The anvil chorus got peo
ple out ot bed early for the auto
parade and the patriotic services.
There were thirty-one automo
biles In line. The decorations were
striking and original. Ferd Mc
Callister won first prize, $50, for the
best decorated car A Farm Scene.
R. L. Jordan & Co. took second
money $35, and T. M. Baldwin 25
for the best undecorated car. W.
F. King and George Noble received
honorable mention.
Miss Georgia Cleek was elected
Goddess of Liberty.
After the parade patriotic exer
cises were held.
The public school team from Bend
took enough time oS to capture the
$50 purse from the Prineville boys
A band concert at 1 :30 started the
afternoon sports.
Another double-header was
pulled off Tuesday, the 4th, Prine
ville playing the first game in the
afternoon with Redmond. Rooper
occupied the mound for the locals,
and ' Rodman, Redmond's beet
pitcher, heaved for the Hub town.
Prineville started off with a rush,
scoring 6 runs in the first few
innings before Redmond could get
started. However, it was not long
before they were picking out the
good ones and had 6 runs to their
credit. It looked as though Prine
ville waa going to drop a game, but
they got on to the offerings of Rod
man and pounded out an easy
victory. Score 14 to 6.
At 5 o'clock Silver Lake tackled
the Indians and were scalped to
the tune of 7 to 6 after having the
game apparently won by a score of
6 0. "Tomp" Osborne, fresh from
the Montana league, pitched for
the Indians and Silver Lake could
not do much with his delivery. It
wag only after a man could be
found to hold Osborn that the
