DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.
A Farmer has Three Sets of Harness i
Badly Cut Up. j
M. S. Hughes, of Wolf creek, was m tnc
city Monday, purchasing a lot ol new
harness. He had brought in the scraps of
what, on Sunday lust, consisted of three
set of good harness. The mangled mes of
cut up harness, collars and bridles attract
ed considerable attention and a Scott re
porter elicited the following information
in regard to the matter, from Mr. Hughes:
It seems that about three week nyo he
hired a tramp painter, by tho name of
James Uonley, to paint hi- house. Conley
was proceeding with the work anil had
drawn a part of his wages, but one day
during Mr. Hughes' absence the painter
made some improper advances towards
Hughes' wife and made a slight attempt to
force her, but could not succeed. When
Mr. Hughes was apprised of Conley'- act
ions he at once took -teps to have the
brute arrested, but he skipped out and
hid in the brush. He was found hid In
the grass, init refused to accompany Mr.
Hughes to town, and before he could get a
warrant for his arrest, or assistance to take
him, he had again skipped out in the di
rection of La Grande. Mr. Hughes thought
best to let the matter drop, the man
could not be eonvie'ed of a crime anyway.
Mr. Hughes was owing the man some on
the job, but was ready to pay him a- soon
as he completed the work. The man has
been at work at La Grande for several days
past. Mr. Hughes is of the opinion that
Conley got on the train Sunday night and
came up to North Powder, and proceeded
to his ranch and cut his harness in this
manner, as he knows of no other enemy in
the country.
The harness were almost new aim were
cut beyond repair. It goes pretty hard
with Mr. Hughes, who was in the midst of
harvest, causing him to lose considerable
time and money. Of all the men to be
feared it is the one who would do such
work. Such a man would not hesitate to
cut a man's throat or burn his house if lie
were not afraid of being seen. Of course
-Mr. Hughes has no evidence as to who did
the work, but if the person can be found
he should be severely dealt with.
Col. Boone and His Liberated Lious.
Col. Edgar Daniel Boone is tho name of
the man who is at present astonishing the
people of this country by his performance
with live full grown ferocious lions, all lib
erated and given the entire freedom of the
circus arena.
These savage brutes, under the colonel's
guidance, are made to do about every act
that dogs, horses and (ionics have been in
structed to perform, and even more, for
these lions In addition to dancing, postur
ing, leaping, racing in harness, etc., actu
ally ride tricycles, a feat no horse has yet
been able to accomplish.
Tho colonel is a Kentuckian by birth,
and a direct descendant of Kentucky's
famous pioneer Daniel Boone.
Tiio arena in which the lions are liberated
is surrounded by a tall and closely barred
steel fence. This insures perfect safety to
the audience whatever may be tho fate of
tho lion performer-.
Col. 1'oone is accompanied in his exhibi
tion of these liberated Hons, by Miss Car
lotta and a largo German hunting hound,
who frolics with the lions while the liou-
tanier looks on, and subsequently partici
pates in the display which the lions make
of their jumping, racing, posturing, danc
ing, and driving accomplishments.
Eight pounds of lean meat constitute the
dally rations of eacli of these trained lions.
Col. Boone was formerly an ivory hunter
iu Africa. He captured the lions ho now
exhibits, in the interior of that country.
He has traveled with his lions all over
the world and met with many thrilling
scones.
The only way In which lions can be
trusted to perform outside the cage, is by
educating the brutes, They possess but
little brains, and it required many months
of patient eilort to make these pitiless
monsters coinpreiiend what thoy must do.
The lion, above all things else, hates to
be mastered, and if ho is urged to perform
a diflicult act, rebels at once and turns
upon his trainer.
Col. Boone says the popular Idea that a
lion can be kept in subjection by tho mere
power of tno human eye is all nonsense.
lie says there is nothing of tho sneak
about the lion, if ho means to attack you
he gives you fair notice.
He never cuts his lions claws, because ho
says It would make them inoro savage.
Col Boone has appeared with his Hons
In all the leading cities of Europe 160 ex
hibitions were given at Paris, 200 in Lon
donto Immense audiences always.
Tho management of tho Adam Fore
paugh Shows pay Boone .$1000 a week for
his services, and he appears at every exhi
bition introducing all his lions. Tho groat
Show will exhibit at La Grandoon Thurs
day September 17th.

BASE BALL.
The Union Nino Victorious In two Games
at Baker City.
Lust Saturday morning the Union bae
ball club visited Baker city for the purpose
of playing two games with the "Polar
Bears'' of Hint city. The game was ailed
at 3 o'clock with the Baker club at the bat,
two men being -truck tut and the third
put out while at'empling to steal a lae,
leaving them without a sco'e. Union came
to tlie bat and succeeded In scoring two.
In the second inning Baker scored two
and Union none. In the third Baker
scored one, while our boy- run in five men.
In the fourth inning neither club made a
score. In the fifth Union scored thtee.
Baker none.
I Invites oceimled the box up to the sixth
inning and the Polar Bears had bard work
In "finding him," having only made three
runs while Union had rolled up ten, but
his arm failed and Levy took the box with
Driver behind the bat. Levy is a good
pitcher, but seemed tube "oil" Saturday.
Smith pitched for the Polar Hears.
In the sixth inning Baker scored one:
Union none, and in the seventh six. while
our boys again failed to score; but in the
eighth on, boys got down to work and
crossed the plate seven times against one
for Baker. In the ninth Baker scored six,
making the game even, 17 to 17, but our
boys went to the bat and made one run,
giving them the game by a score of IS to
17, with no men out.
The game wa- very interesting, but the
attendance was ery small. The Baker
boys put up their best men and tried hard
to win the game. Following is the score by
innings:
Polar Bears 0 2 1 0 0 t 0 1 0-17
Union .... 2 0 5 0 .1 0 0 7 1 IS
Struck out by Smith, 12; llayncs and
Levy, US.
sii.'.NiAY'.- iiami:.
On Sunday tho Polar Bears were weak
ened by two or three of their best players
going on an excursion to Suniptor valley,
while Union was strengthened by the ar
rival of Martin and Davis, wlio could not
go up on Saturday.
The game was called at 2 o'clock, and it
was very evident from the first that Union
would have an easy victory. Levy occu
pied the box throughout the game ami did
good work. Driver and Irwin, who caught
lu the two games for Union, did excellent
work, there being but one or two pass balls
in both games. In the first day's game
Charley Burr was umpire, and his decis
Ions gave satisfaction on both sides; but
on Sunday Ludermau umpired the game,
and while we have no doubt ho did the
best he knew how, sonic of his decisions
were certainly very bad, especially against
the Union club. This game was full of
errors anil hardly worth recording. Baker
City played eight innings and scored !).
while Union played only soven and scored
18. Following is the score by innings:

The Editorial Association, lately in
session at Astoria, has taken a deter
mined stand against newspapers using
their columns, without remuneration,
for tho advertisement of many money
making schemes. As a rule of busi
ness, applicable to all departments of
trade, tho columns of the daily or
weekly paper stand on an equal foot
ing with tho articles on tho counter of
the grocer or dry-goods merchant, und
should only bu exchanged for market
value. We have always advocated
and upheld this principle, and havo
made life long enemies thereby. If
tho press would universally adopt such
a rule, tho people would soon under
stand and appreciate its justness; but
while onu publisher follows this plan,
and one or more in the same town or
city adopt the opposite, tho paper
printed on business principles soon
loses patrons to the benefit of tho
others who are less business like in
their methods. Tiines-Mountaineer.
Oregon is on tho ovo of having a
great university, equal to tho best
eastern college, as well as to the Lo
land Stanford Jr. university of Cali
fornia. It is reported that W. S. Ladd
and II. W. Corbott each oll'or to givo
$L,000,000 towards a college to bo
under the auspices of tho Prosbyteriun
church, and to bo located at Portland,
an additional if 1 ,000,000 to bu raised
in the church, making ifH.OOO.OOO as a
starter. This would bo a groat thing
for the northwest and it is to bo hoped
that such a college will bo founded,
ono that will rank iu standing with
Harvard, Yalo and Princeton. Al
