The La Grande team, which comes here tonight to play four .games with the Indians, is a much stronger team than the one from which Pendleton took eight straight when they last came together, and those who have seen the work of the team lately are confident that the Beet Pullers will capture at least two and probably three of the games to be played here. In the last series between La Grande and Baker City there was one game left unplayed on account of rain, and this left the two teams one game behind the leaders in the num ber played. As the Gold Diggers re turn from Walla Walla next Monday, they will stop off at La Grande and go against the Beet Pullers for the single game omitted from their schedule, according to the statement .of Manager Hosier, of the Baker team to the Baker City Herald. The series to be played with La Grande this week Is the last time the Beet Pullers will appear on the Pendleton grounds this season; the Indians playing four more games with the Beet Gardeners on their Lome grounds, four with the Sharp shooters in this city and four in Walla Walla, and four games with the Gold Diggers in this city, there being but four games more to b' played between the Diggers and the Indians out of the 20 yet to be play ed by each team. ANOTHER TRACY CHAPTER. Changed Barrel of His Rifle to Pre vent Identification. It has developed that Tracy, the dead outlaw, by destroying or hiding the original rifle with which he made his escape from the Oregon state pen itentiary', has protected his accom plice and has made the identification of the gun, and the detection of the party that delivered the firearm to him almost an Impossibility. A special from Salem says: An other remarkable instance of the truthfulness of Outlaw Harry Tracy, developed toJay, when it was dis covered that the barrel of the rifle which Tracy had when he was klllled was not the barrel of the "rifle which Tracy used in making his escape. This fact destroys what seemed to bo a probable clow that would lead to the detection of the person who carried the rifles into the prison. Tracy told a number of persons that he would exchange the barrel of his rifle for another In order that no one should discover where it came from. While he was at the Eddy farm, near Davenport, a day or so before he was killed, Tracy told Eddy that he had placed another barrel in the stock of his rifle. Ho said at the time that the barrel did not fit the stock and he found it necessary to use a piece of leather to make It firm. This story of Tracy's was given no particular attention, but Eddy relat ed the circumstances to Attorney H. A. Myers a few days ago, and on his visit to Salem Mr. Myers told the Btory to Governor Geor. Governor Geer went to the penitentiary and examined the rifle, whereupon he j found the facts. Just as Tracy had stated them. The barrel now in the stock Is a very poor fit and could not have been made serviceable with out the use of a piece of leather. The barrel which belonged to the stock was probably thrown into a stream will engage in discussions of ways and means to bring about the im provements and changes they desire. The occasion is the sixth annual meeting of the American League of Municipalities, an organization which was formed in Columbus, Ohio, in 1897. The rapid growth of its mem bership and influence during the five years of its existence is shown by the large and representative attendance at he present gathering. Leading cities in all sections of this country and several of the chief Canadian municipalities are represented. Such cities as Cleveland, Denver, Baltimore Nashville, Des Moines, Winnipeg, Charleston, S. C, Hartford and Syra cuse have sent their mayors and heads of departments, while numer ous cities of the third and fourth classes are also well represented in the convention. Fairbanks by the Hundred. Dedham, Mass., Aug. 27. The re union of the Fairbanks family here today proved one of the most remark able gatherings of the kind ever held In New England. The visitors num bered nearly 1,000 and came not only from 18 states, but from Canada, Mexico and India as well. The re union was held at the old Fairbanks homestead, in which, in unbroken succession, have .welt eight genera tions of the family, descended from Jonathan Fairbanks, who came to this country in 1633, and settled at Dedham three years later. Promi nent among the members of the fam ily, and all of whom belong to the reunion association are: Senator Charles W. Fairbanks ,of Indiana; Mrs. Alice Moses Earl, the writer, and Mrs. Dr. Flaval B. Tiffany, the poet of Kansas City. HE TOOK HIS PEN IN HAND. New Reporter Makes a Brave Effort on His First Assignment. Ohio State Journal: None of the experienced newspaper men happen ed to be in when th fir alarm rang so the city editor sent the green re porter. After returning from the conflagration the green reporter wrote laboriously for a time and then turned the following over to the city editor: "There was a fire alarm sounded about an hour ago and a reporter for the Herald arrived at the scone of conflagration before the fire depart ment, which responded promptly. After the hose had been attached to the water plug It was found that the hose was too brief to carry the aqua pura to the flames in seeming defi ance of the fire department. Sovera) of the firemen who were more excit ed than the others, discussed the pro priety of carrying the fire closer to the source of water supply, but this plan was abandoned on account of the extreme heat of the flames. "In the meantime, the fire fiend raged worse than ever and kept on raging until the entire stable was re duced to ashes. Tho livestock war saved with tho exception of one cow, which was badly scorched, but will survive. The harness and other Itoms too numerous to mention, perished In the flames. Tho reporter did not learn who owned the stable nor the street it was located on, but If the readers of the Herald will call up tho fire department they can find out, There were several other Interesting facts the reporter did not learn, but they cannot be mentioned for lack of space."
