THE BASE BALL GAME.
A large crowd of people, among
whom were a goodly number of ladies,
assembled at the grounds of tho Union
Baseball Club in this city, to witness
the first of a series of games between
the Cove and North Powder nines.
Game was called at two o'clock with
the Cove at tho bat, They were .-truck
out in rapid succession. North Pow
der then took the stick and were trea
ted likewise. In the next inning the
Cove scored three runs, and managed
by hard work to keep in the lead until
the eighth inning, when North Powder
run in four men, making the game
even 1) to 0. At this juncture ex
citement ran high and the spectators
from North Powder were very jubilant,
and doubled their bets, which were
readily taken by th-) Cove's yet confi
dent friends, hi the ninth' the Cove
scoied four runs, by Shaw mulling
two flies in left field. North Powder
then came to the bat for the last time
and were whitewashed, leaving the
Cove victorious by four.
The game was characterized by er
rors on both sides. Smith's deliveiy
was very oidinary as compared with
his other i itching this season. Van-
uecar mcl no better, but he is excusa
ble to a certain extent for the reason
that it was the first time he occupied
the box this year. It was the opinion
of nearly all present, when the two
nines took their positions, that the
Cove bad the best of it, as they had
imported, m to speak, four of the best
players fi dim La Grande, viz: (Mover,
Matott, Williams and Slater, while the
North Powder club played their old
nine with scarcely any previous prac
tice. The following is the score:

the Boise City and "Raker clubs, re
sulting in a scoro of 7 to 2 in favor of
the Baker olub. The noxt game was
between Pendloton and North Powder,
tlio score standing 11 to 1 in favor of
Peudluton.
When tho news reached hero that

Wikon immediately summoned a jury
and proceeded to tlio spot, and being

A GHASTLY FIND.
Last Friday afternoon, while Mr.
Samuel Turner, of North Powder, was
out on the range hunting horses over
on the Main Powder river, he discov
ered a skeleton just at tho edge of the
water where it had floated during the
high water and lodged partially on
some brush. Examining it he found
it tube that of a human. Marking the
place he notified Justice WiLon who
summoned a jury and proceeded to
the spot. Having arrived at the place,
he proceeded to hold an inquest on
the body, but as it was impossible to
obtain light as to its identity he had
the remains brought to Union where
they will be kept for some time in
hopes that some light maybe thiown
upon the matter and ascertain, if pos
sible, something in regard to the un
fortunate man.
'fhe body was that of a man about
six feet jn height, of large frame, and
was clot lied at the time of discovery
with only a red tlannel undershirt and
overshirt of either dark or gray, a pair
of daik flannel drawers, nearly oil', a
pair of No. 0 or 10 W buckle shoes and
shaker socks. The llesh had nearly
all untie. The teeth, also, were mostly
out fioni decay after death. Three of
the teeth in the lower jaw had been
extracted during life. One of lower
back teeth was filled with an amalgam
filling. The skull had been fractured
and tlie leitsple bones on the left side
were broken in, indicating that it had
received a bfow from some heavy in
strument. A small cotton rope, such
as arc used for clothes lines, was tied
twiiv around the neck on the outside
of the cnll.irof the overshirt, one end
of which had the appearance of having
been twisted oil' close up to the knot,
'fhe inference is that tho man had
been fonly dealt with and then was
thrown into the stream weighted
down by some heavy object fastened
to tho cord aiound the neck. So far
as can be ascertained no one has been
missing except Willis Skiff, of this
city, who very suddenly and mysteri
ously disappeared from North Powder
on the night of July 21th, 188(5, and
who up to tho present time has never
been heard of. Undoubtedly the man,
whoever he may be, has been the vic
tim of foul play. Tho remains will bo
held for awhile in hopes that some one
may be able to give some information
that may lead to their identity and
thus give a clue to the perpetrators
of tlu crime.
Tho jury are all good and sound
thjnking men who will use their judg
ment as best they know. Tho follow
ing are the coroner and jury:
Acting coioner, B. 1 Wilson, Jus
tice of tho Peace of Union precinct.
