A mistaken idea is current that t
ball game and band concerts tomorrow
at Hood River will be about four miles
from the town. Such is not the case.
The first concert will be given in town,
and after dinner the ball game will be
played at the grounds, about a mile out,
where the second concert will also take
place. Teams will be in waiting to
convey all wishing to see the game to
the grounds.
It is very possible that a senatorial
deadlock will deprive Oregon of any
legislation next year. The Republcans
will have about sixty members and the
majority of the remaining thirty will be
Populist. TheRepublican strength will be
about eqaally divided, and unless they
can get together it will be impossible to
elect. . Verily it begins to look as
though the halls of the senate will be
depopulated through inability of legis
latures to elect. It, however, will have
the good effect of hastening the time
when senators will be elected by the peo
ple. Wasco News.

An Impromptu Horse Race.
. Mr. Richard Hinton of Bakeoven and
Mr. J. J. Cuzart of Grant county met in
the city yesterday. Each has a very
fine .roadster and eoon the conversation
turned upon the merit9 of their respec
tive horses. Mr. Hinton believed that
in "Hero" he had a little the best horse
and was not slow in claiming its super
iority. Mr. Cuza;t . was also slightly
aggressive in believing bis own horse,
"Jim Crow," was the best traveler, and
a bet of $25 was soon arranzed between
the two men for a race, to take place at
6 o'clock the same afternoon at the fair
grounds. At the hour appointed both
men were there with their horses and
road carts, each owner driving his own
horse. Mr. J. S. Schenck was time
keeper and Messrs. Jud Fish, T. A,
Ward and Cbas. Butler, the last-named
of Port Townsend,' judges. There were
only a few others present, but those few
saw one of the prettiest races imagina
ble. The race was for mile heats, best
two out of three. Each heat was a bona,
fide race. The first heat was won bv
"Hero," the horses coming in almost
neck and neck; time 3.01. The second
heat was a victory for "Jim Crow."
Near the close of the heat Mr. Hinton
held his horse ' back, observing his op
ponent was apt to win, and desiring to
husband the energies of his own animal ;
time 2 :57. The third heat was as ex
citingly close as the ' first, the horses
necks lapping each other, but "Hero's"
nose just a little ahead, making him
winner of the race ; time 2 :56. Those
who were privileged to see the race say
it was one of the best they ever saw. .
Convicted of Murder.
The murderer of Walter Freeman,
brother of Mrs. Van Norden, has been
found guilty and sentenced to be bung
in September. The jury was out three
hours and returned a verdict of murder
in the first degree. The murder occured
at La t robe, Cal., April 14.
"Roberts, the murderer, is a native ofMiss Minnie Graces went to Hood River
umo aoa 91 years 01a. rreemua was a
i - . . . t i tt. 11
native of this county, of. " good family
and but 24 ' years old. He was well
known as an athlete, taking much pleas
ure in footracing, boxing and football. '
A casaal conversation in James Harris'
saloon ,turned upon the subject of wrest
lers and wrestling. Roberts insisted up
on trying conclusions with someone and
Freeman said in a jocular manner:
"You are too old a man for me." Rob
erts insisted upon a teat of -strength.
He was quickly floored by Freeman, aft
er which be good naturedly paid for
round of drinks and left the place. '
a

Twenty minutes later Roberts returned
and entered into conversation with Free
man. Suddenly be drew a large jack
knife from his pocket and as quick as a
flash cut Freeman's throat, severing the
jugular vein. .
In the trial the defense set up the.
plea of drunkenness, alleging that the
culprit's mind-was a blank, he re
membering nothing of the oocurence.
