Claude Smith's festive Ooltsnn-
vmli'il the county Heat Sunday,
with visions of victory that were
never realized for Hue It Free
man was there with the mighty
swat that seemed to crimp the
zeal of Smith's yountfster'H from
the initial whiff to the plate.
Freeinnn went to the bat in the
first inning, anil walloped the
hall to the fence for a home run
and that seemed to Kettle it.
Kverything seemed easy, and al
though Martin pitched good hall,
there was nothing to it. Free
man, four times up, gmashed out
four hits, ami scored three of the
runs. Smith got one hit; and
Cillen water, two. and that was
the demise on Martin's delivery.
The Colts got six hits off Cillen
water, hut they were rather
Fcratchy. Freeman was shifted
to short, ami was on his toes all
the time. lied (Jillenwater sur
prised himself by getting two
smashes because it generally
follows that a pitcher striking
out eleven men does very little
at the hat.

AERONAUT MILLER
IN
Hud Made lialloon Ascensions in
Hillsboro Over 20 Years
WAS ONI: OF THE FIRST HERE
Oflcn Admitted That Some Day he
Would Die With Tight on
P. J.O'Donnell.of Portland, and
better known by his Aeronautic
nom de plume of Dick Miller, was
drowned Friday, in Snake River,
at Weiser, Idaho. Miller had
just made a balloon ascension for
the amusement of the carnival
committee at Weiser, and when
lie cut the parachute loose from
the balloon, the wind veered him
right over the center of Snake
Hiver channel. He was noticed
to have freed himself from the
parachute, and as he was a strong
swimmer, no one thought that
he was in peril. After making
twenty strokes toward the bank.
Miller threw up his hands, and
called for aid. A boat was im
mediately launched, but before
it had been rowed twenty yards.
Miller sank, to rise no more.
Miller was a fine balloonist, and
had made ascensions here in
heavy winds, although he used
more judgment as he grew older.
hvery old time visitor of cele
brations and carnivals at and
around this point knew Miller
with his face ever glaring from
his air trips, and his steel blue
eyes seemed to be unacquainted
with fear, lhe boys knew him:
the old people knew him: and all
admired the quiet, taciturn fel
low, who for so many vears was
the pioneer in Washington Coun
ty balloon experiences.
1 wo years ago when here he
said, one day. alter he had alight
ed on the celebration grounds at
the city park, and came near be
ing dragged in the midst of a
surging crowd: "Well, I'll get
mine some of these days, and I
expect to die in my tights. We
all get it, sooner or later, and I
expect to wake up dead almost
any old time."
Miller generally went with the
Arrfold Amusement Co., but a
year or so ago organized the Mil
ler Amusement Co., and was
making a tour of the intermoun-
tain states when he went to
Weiser for a carnival week.

SERVES TIME, LEAVES PEN, ARRESTED
Local Experience of Jack Hamlin, Alias
J. H. Burke, Forger
Jack Hamlin, alias J. H. Burke,
known here locally as having
tried to cash a note to which the
name of the late Walter Bernards
was signed, was arrested the
other day, at Portland, after be
ing released from the'Salem pen
itentiary, and will he taken to
Colfax, Wash., to be tried for
swindling a bank at that place.
Hamlin, a few years ago, forged
Walter Bernards' name to a note.
as surety, and went to the Haines
Bank. Forest Grove, where he
had made arrangements to cash
it. The night before he annpar-
ed F. T. Kane had seen Walter
Bernards, and casually mention
ed that he was going to advance
the money on his surety note,
when Bernards denied "havimr
agreed to signing such a note,
and further denied that he had
been asked to sign. This aroused
the suspicions of Mr. Kane, and
he aponsed Banker E. W. Haines
of the situation. Hamlin appear
ed, and Kane and Haines held
Hamlin with a revolver, and de
livered him to the sheriff, then
John W. Sewell. Hamlin laid in
jail a few weeks, and one night
bored his way to liberty, along
with John Tom McNamara. The
two escaped, and Hamlin was
traced to Skamania Countv hv
Sewell. He was captured by a
half-breed, near Carson, but sud
denly bolted, andescaped. Sew
ell knew Hamlin had a brother
in Clark Countv. and wired the
sheriff to watch the Hamlin
home for the futritive. Sure
enough Hamlin was in the shan
ty, and upon approach of the of
ficer, flexl. Sheriff Biesackershot
him in the groin as he attempted
to run out of the one door of the
ulaee. Hamlin fell, and was
captured, and brought here. He
was tried and sentenced, and
earned time by good behavior.
After his release he went into
Washington and bunkoed several
banks, made a stake, bought an
auto, and married a young wo
man leaving the wife who
was faithful to him in his Hills
boro experience. He was caught
in Portland, at his new bunga
low, and sentenced for defraud
ing an Oregon bank. He had
just left the pen a few days
when the Umax authorities sent
for him. and he must again stand
trial. It is estimated that Ham
lin has robbed banks in his oe-
culiar manner, in a total of per
haps $25,000, besides defrauding
a San Francisco hardware com
pany of several thousands.
Jasper Ballard has filed a di
vorce complaint against Carrie
Hawkins Ballard, and the lengthy
epistle covers a multitude of
abuses, if his assertions are true.
He says his wife, with whom he
was married in 1908, has called
him all kinds of bad names; once
threw a water pitcher at him,
and struck him on the head; and
that once she choked him severe
ly in the presence of his mother,
and lately threw their 16-months
old child against the wall, mak
ing a "big knot" on the little
one's head. He asked for a de
cree and the custody of the
child. He also alleges that his
wife swore at him and told him
she was going to leave him and
get another man.
