Jake Thlelman and "Dolly" Gray -were
the artillery duellists of jesterda after
noon and a 2-0 game fell Into Portland's
hungry hopper. The klnk in Jane's aim
has disappeared and he showed a hurst
of h!s old speed by closing 1.03 Angfies
out t lth but four hits. During the en
gagement only one Loo Loo was able to
get hla spikes at third. This was all due
to the perfect support which the German
received by the locals. Fielding honors
were equally distributed among the Dugs,
-jvith Raymond doing some pretty work
at third.
Portland scored a, run In the first inn
ing a couple of bingles and a sacrifice
did the trick. Again In the eighth an
other run was pushed over the pan, with
twq hits duplicating the same trick:

Oakland Man Indulges In Kicking--Seattle
Is Lucky and Wins.
SEATTLE, July 6. Seattle won today's
game through luck and poor fielding by
Oakland. The full extent of Oakland's
rolsplajs in the field do not show on the
score. This was the kind of work that
discounted Buchanan'e good pitching.
Shields sprained his arm in the eighth
and gave way to Hughes, who was also
Injured by a liner, but finished the game.

MYSTERY CLINGS TO CASE
FATHER DOES NOT BELIEVE SON
SHOT HIMSELF.
Ernest Vogt, Who Was Afraid to Tell
Parents of Mortal Wound,
Is Burled.
The funeral of little Ernest Vogt,
who died Tuesday afternoon from the
effects of a pistol shot wound, were
held yesterday afternoon from the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick Vogt, in Montavllla. Rev. Au
gust Krause. of St Paul's Lutheran
Church, was In charge, and many of
the friends of the stricken family were
present. As pall-bearers, playmates of
the dead boy were selected as follows:
John Moore, Clifford Duncan, Paul Frle
wald, Erwin Crouch, Otto Miller and
Ross Barnes.
At the close of the services the play
mates of the dead lad bore the cabket
containing his body to the hearse, and
the interment took placo in Bralnord's
cemetery.
Surrounding this case thoro will al
ways remain An element of mystery
y.
EIIXKST VOGT, "VICTIM OF
and uncertainty. Just how the wound
was inflicted which resulted In the
death of the little boy may nevor be
positively known, now that his lips
are sealed in death, and he did riot
speak before it was too late. Howover,
in the absence of any other plausible
explanation, It seems that the little
fellow must have accidentally shot him
self. The father, Frederick Vogt, is
very sure that his son did not phoot
himself accidentally, or otherwise, hold
ing that it would have been well nlch
Impossible for him to have lnfilcted the
wound.
At tho Vogt premises the home stands
in one corner, the .shop in which the
accident is supposed to have occurred
in an opposite cornor at the back part
of the lot A barn stands In another
corner. At 3 o'clock In the afternoon
of July 4, Mr. Vogt was at work In
the barn, which Is about 73 feet from
the shop. His other children wero also
with him at the time.
Ernest went into the shop, where ho
remained a few mlnutos. when ho re
turned to the barn where his father
and other children were at the lime.
He remained there half an hour, whim
pering and crying, saying that he had
fallen and burned himself. Mr. Vogt
spoke to him and told nlm to stop
crying, not dreamlmr that his little
son was then fatally wounded. Hn
stopped whimperlnc. when his mother
came and took him to tho house, where
the slight wound was found on tho
abdomen just below the navel. There
was a burned spot about the sizo of
a quarter of a dollar, but no one
dreamed that It was a serious Injury
and tho boy even slept a little.
Mr. Vogt relteratpd his statement
yesterday that the pistol kept In the
shop had not been loaded for eight
j ears, and said: "I placed it on tho
shelf under the eaves of the roof. I
don't believe my boy shot himself. 1
believe that it was done by somebody
else who had entered the shop for theft
A week ago the shop was entered and
$4.50 stolen from a box. My theory Is
that some one was In the shop when
Ernest entered and shot the boy to
cover up his deed, or for some pur
pose." Mr. Vogt showed some soft tracks In
the soft ground leading from the door
of the shop to the back part of the lot
in support of his contention that soma
one was in the shop when the boy en
tered. The pistol, which was found on
the steps under the place it was laid
for so many years, does not indicate
whether It had been recently dis
charged or not Some who examined It
claim that it could not have been dis
charged recently without showlncr
more of the powder marks In the
chamber and barrel.
A small boy like Ernest could have
reached the pistol only with the great
est difficulty. ' A grown man standing
on the steps of the stairway would have
to reach upward to touch the spot
where the pistol was kept Frederick
Vogt Jr., a boy of 10 years, positively
declares that the pistol was not loaded
Sunday. He said he and his other
brother examined the pistol then and
saw that It was not loaded, and he
says they did not load it or use It at
any time.
G. L. Hibbert, a neighbor, was In tho
barn with Mr. Vogt when Ernest re
turned. He says he heard a shot a few
moments before the boy came, and
called Mr. Vogt's attention to tho re
port, when the latter remarked casu
ally that it must have been the report
of a big firecracker somewhere in
Montavllla, and gave the matter no
attention.
"The boy was crying," said Mr. Hib
bert, "and his father told him to stop.
The boy was in the barn, after ho had
been shot for fully half an hour, and
appeared to be in some distress. From
what I learned and heard of the case
I must conclude that the boy shot him
self. ChHdren will crawl after things.
He climbed the stairway and pulled out
the pistol. In doing so he may have
accidentally discharged It or he may
have discharged It while examining it
with the muzzle toward his abdomen.
I don't think tie could have been hit
by a stray shot from somewhere else."
LANDINGS ARE SECURED.
J Work on the Inclines on the West
and East Side landings for the Sellwoofl
free ferry will be begun In a short
time. Edward D. Curtis and J. M.
NIckum, members of the Sellwood ferry
subcommittee, made a discovery yes
terday while overhauling the records
at the Courthouse which establishes
the fact beyond dispute apparently
that the county has a road open, from
the Whltehouso road down to the Wil
lamette River, at the place the com
mittee has fixed the West Side land
ing. They found even the petition for
the opening of the road, and traced
the proceedings down to the conclus
ion. Mr. Curtis says that he is entirely
satisfied that the county owns the
road down to the river all right The
proceedings seemed perfectly regular
and beyond all dispute. It will be nec
essary to go to some expense In ex
cavating under the Southern Pacific
track, but the discovery of the county
road down to the landing will save
between $1500 and $2000. On the East
Side at the foot of Spokane avenue,
there Is also clear sailing. U. S. Mar
quam, who claims an exclusive ferry
franchise, says that he will not Inter
fere, but Is willing to give a deed to
the East Side ferry-landing if neces
sary. He says he has property at Sell
wood and In common with others wants
to see the ferry In operation as soon
as poslble. A surveyor will run the
lines on both sides of the rlvor and

TWO STILL IN THE-GAME
SALEM AND ALBANY HAVE NOT
DISBANDED TEAMS.
Hope to Hold Meft, Together and Play
a Series, With Occasional
Matches With Outsiders.
SALEM, Or., July 6. (Special.) While
the Oregon State Baseball League has not
disbanded, it is certain that no more of
the scries of league games will be played.
The Eugene team disbanded yesterday
and refused to meet Albany. Tonight the
Roseburg team announced its decision not
to play this week's series In Salem, and
the team left for home.
The Salem and Albany teams declare
their readiness to complete the games ac
cording to schedule, and talk of trying to
lnforce the $250 bonds given by the Eu
gene and Roseburg clubs as security for
performance of their part of tho league
agreement What will be done is entirely
In doubt
The directors of the Salem Club held
a long meeting tonight and discussed the
situation in all its phases. A similar
meeting was held at Albany and the man
agers held conferences over the Tong
dlstance telephone. The principal effort
will be to hold the Albany and Salem
teams together and arrange a series of
games between these two, with what
games may be picked up occasionally
with other teams.
Apparently the teams In the league have
not found the games profitable and see
nothing encouraging in the future. Peo
ple are going off on vacations and attend
ance at the games has been diminishing.
Expenses have been heavy, although the
league was organized upon as conserva
tive a basis as seemed possible.
President Sroat, of the State League,
said tonight that nothing is certain as to
the future, but he believes Salem and Al
bany can arrange a schedule of two
games a week, playing In each town every
other week. The teams, under this plan,
would be made up chiefly or local play
ers. The percentage of tho teams now
are: Salem, .675; Eugene,, .537; Albany,
4G7; Roseburg, .375.
Drews Throws Strangler Smith.
ASTORIA, Or., July 6. (Special.) To
night's wrestling match between Drews
and Strangler Smith was one of the best
exhibitions ever seen on the Coast Drews
scored three out of five falls, and won
the match. The men are very evenly
matched, and the struggle for supremacy
was a desperate one. With two falls to
the credit of each man, Drews secured
a full-Nelson hold and laid Smith on hl3
back. In the first fall, which went to
Smith, the referee decided that he was
down when hip and shoulder touched the
mat, although the men agreed to wrestlo
shoulder down. Smith challenged Drews
for a second match here and the chal
lenge was accepted.

Bridal Couple and Sailors 'Get Into
Trouble.
Contention Is abroad and strife is in the
air. Within the space of half an hour
yesterday afternoon there were two bat
tles royal. Involving a bride and groom,
two sailors and a gentleman of leisure.
When the British bark Thlstlebank was
In port recently, there wa3 trouble among
the crew. A burly seaman going by the
name of Jaqk Mager, accused a ship
mate, Johnnie Wllklns. of carrying tales
of certain midnight visits to the larder
to the executive officer. Mager and Wll
klns argued out the question before the
assembled ship's company la a ring of
regulation size, and were afterward put
on shore and told to stay there.
The Thlstlebank sailed to the Sound,
and th two salts remained to swell the
population of Portland. They met fre
quently and finally forgot all differences.
Yesterday they met again, at Blazler's
resort on Burnslde street. After imbib
ing freely they fell to discussing the past
The revival caused a resurrection of bit
ter feelings, and In a few minutes Mager
precipitated a combat In which Wllklns
eagerly joined. Both men were forcibly
ejected from the place, but they met
again on the sidewalk and remained In a
clinch until parted by bystanders. Mager
rushed for a warrant and Wllklns sprint
ed for tihe depot with the Intention of
going to Seattle and joining a ship. He

While the sailors wen tussling on
Burnslde street, there was a case of hard
luck at the City Plaza near the fountain.
Harrison Wells arrived from Eastern
Oregon yesterday morning with his bride.
Yesterday afternoon they began taking in
the sights, and In the course of their wan
derings arrived at the Plaza, where they
determined to spend an hour billing arid
cooing In the shade. As all available
shade was occupied by other seekers after
comfort they made up their minds to sit
In the sun.
Near them sat Edward Adams, a young
man of 24 years. Adams left his shady
nook for a drink, and when he returned
he found It occupied by the bride and
groom. Adams Insisted upon having the
shade patch returned to him and the
groom announced that he had a check for
the seat The controversy resulted In a
battle whlhc ended by the march of
Adams and the bridal party to the police
station, where the groom announced that
he was also the "best man." Which shows
that the course of true love hits the high
places even in Portland.

tion of the carriages.

made that the occupants of the carriages
were the German and French Ministers,
the officers of the guard and the sentry
were punished, and the Secretary of For
eign Relations called at the Legations to
apologize. Minister Powell has since re
ported that the Incident was satisfactorily
closed.
