Bv bunchins their errors in the second inning the home team lost last Sunday's game. A drizzling rain set in just as the name was called ana increased mio a considerable shower, but the game was plaved out notwithstanding. The leaky roof of the grand stand afforded but poor protection for the two or three hundred unfortunates huddled inBide trving to keep dry. The grouud became slippery and good exhibition of base ball was next to impossible. The Monograms started tneir run get ting in the first inaing and eucceeaed in getting one run across the home plate on a bit and two stolen bases by their new short stop, Johni-on. The home tram weni out 111 one. two three order. In the second inning catcher Krietz loBt his head while three men were on bases and two men came in on a rank error. Another hit and one more Monogram scored In thfiir turn at the bat Oregon City landed on' Hoyt for a few good c.lpan hits and scored three runs. These three were the only runs they were able to get, however, as both tha pitcners 01 the MonotrrauM seemed to hand out curves-aud shoots that our boys were un able to connect with. The Monograms scored one more run in the sixth. The ball was slippery and wet with mud and almost impossible tor the pitchers to control. The game was utterly devoid of any tensational plays. Very few teams play gooa Dan in me rain, however, and the game was really as gojd an exniDitiou 01 tne national sport as could be expected.

Damascus, Ore., May 12th, 1903 Godfried Boeee, a farmer, 63 years of age, committed BUicide here Sunday night by banging himself to a rider of fence. It is generally supposed that the cause of his rash act was brought about by family troubles, as he did not get along well with his wife and son and from time to time had eng ged in quarrels and disputes w ith them. On Sunday he and his son, Godfied, Jr., had a settlement resulting from the sale of some hogs the son had sold in the Portland market. A new carriage of Mr. Boese'B had been toin to pieceB by a team of iunaway horses and other matters had come about which caused him annoyance. Sunday evening about eight o'clock he stole Irom i he house and a while later was niiseed by his wife who went in search of him. Failing to liud him she awakei.ed her son and together they searched for the missing man. After a time they concluded it would be best to call in (lie neighbors to assist them in their search. It was about ten a'clock when the pearching party, headed by the son, left the house. The party was composed of twelve men. Three hours later while some distance from the house one of the dogs that was with them ran out from a ciump of buBhes wagging his tail and evincing great ex citement. One of the party followed the dotr. back into the clumu and found the body of Mr. Boeee with a rope around bis neck, the other end of the rope tied to a fence rider, cold in death. The fence lider was so low that the feet of the dead man rested on the ground and even his knees t niched. He bad evidently leaned forward and been slow choked to death. Just ontside of the fence was a bottl which Mrs. Koese said they had kept in the house filled with alcohol which they used for medicial purposes. The bottle contained, so Mrs. Boeee stated, almost a quart of the "medicine," and was diluted slighth with water. When lound it was nearly empty, showing that the suiside had drank emugh of the stuff to have killed him even if be had not seen fit to bane himself. The body was cut powu after all of the party viewed it, an improvieedjitter was made of two fence rails and it was placed on the litter and carried to the bouse Coroner. R. L. Holman, was promptly notified and he arrived on the scene at ten o'clock Monday morning A coroner's urv was summoned and an inquest held. Only one verdict was possible, "that deceased came to nis death by hanging b mself with a rope with suicidal latent, while under tne in fluence of intoxicating nauor." Mr. Boesebad ned iu tnecummunity for many years. He bad grown well off In this world s goods and at the time of bis demise was possessed ot several nun dred acres of fine land. Besides the land he was possessed of cash securities amounting to Quite a little. He was of German extraction and was an industri ous farmer, and well liked by all of his friends. Only the widow and son sur vive him. Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church Monday morning at ten o'clock, and were attended by large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. The deceased was Duneu in the Dame bcus ceineterj . 5 GENT if For sal. at ' City by m, CIGAR G. W. Kertsort D. M. Klemson, grocer Geo. Reddawuv, orocer J. A. Tuft, confections Ofcgon G. W.

There is great activity in real estate in this section of the county, and half a dozen real estate buyerB have been in here this week looking for desirable tannine lands. Monday a party of Kan sans, headed bv a Portland real estate firm, was here and priced a number of farms. While the geutiemen nave noi yet invested they are well pleased with the outlook here and it is quite proba ble that they will ultimately Invest. There ate many farms in this section for sale, the owners of which indeed seem anxious to sell. We ran serosa one of these parties the other day. "I wish you would Bend me a buyer for my farm," be rernarKeu, "i warn to sen out." "How much do you want for your place ?"we asked as a feeler. "Four thousand dollai s," was the reply. "How many acres have you?" "Forty acres." We intimated that a hundred dollars an acre seemed a pretty stiff price for land in that section, but upon Investiga tion found that plenty of land near the new eltctric road was selling tor even greater prices than- that and that few farms could be bad for less, The new road is passing through some mighty flee country and the valuation of land is being increased rapidly. The village of Borings, which has recently been made a Dost office, it is believed will grow rapidly and many think will be quite a town in a little while. All around Damascus are as fine farms as can be found anywhere in Clacka mas county and the people realize what tbeir truth worth is.
