condition was such that his children
were telegraphed for. His daughter,

rived last night. Ills son, Charles, who
is in Boise City, and his otfier daughter,

We understand that the club bowling

have another chance, aud if the Umatil
la House bowlers have not lost their
sand there is little reason why they
should not accept the challenge. The
Umatilla House team should not assert
their superiority on one trial, and we
sincerely hope they will agree to another
tournament in the near future.
