chard. Frank Langley, who is
running the place for Mr.,Bogue,

peaches were in danger of being
patcrowed. "Halt!" He shout
ed to Hurlbnrt, but the Mattes
kept coming. Mr. Lasgley was
armed with a shotgun. Hurl
bnrt climbed the fence approach-
an especially 'tempting tree
and began giving an imitation of
man helping himself to another
man's peaches under orotest.
Langley shouted to him to sneak, .
take a walk, get next, and like
admonitions several times, but
without avail. He then raised
his shotgun and fired. The dis
tance was 39 paces and the pat

Priest Who Plays Ball.
Saturday's Telegram contains
a half-tone of Father Geo. B.
Doyle, of Grants Pass, the
Catholic priest who is a member
of the champion baseball team
of Sfiuthern Oregon. The Tele
gram says of him:
Father Doyle is a pleasing con
versationalisti a thorough" gentle
man and a genteel scholar. - An
hour spent with- him is one of
pleasure. The walls of hia study
are adorned with numerous
photos of college football and
baseball teams of which he was
a member.- Athletics is nis 1a-
vonte tneme. witu it ne is
thoroughly imbue 3. He believes
there is ho more innocent recrea
tive, healthful eastime than
game of baseball, football or aay
other of tBa popular outdoor
sports. As to Sanday playing,
he Is opposed to persons doing
it who feel that they could more
profitably be doing something
else: but he believe9 that the
young men who play baseball on
Sunday- are in most instances
men who are busily engaged
with their regular work during
the, week. After all he thinks
that those who play ball on Sun
days are hot the anas spending
their time at the card or gamb
