WAiTsrsuna, June 13, 1SS5. 1 was so harried to catch the mail that I had no time in my former letter to give you any particulars of the first game of th tournament, aud I uninten tionally gave an extra "out" to both Dr. Williamson and Mr. Powell that should have been charged to Capt. Beam. Lee Beam made a home run in this game, the only one made in the tournament. There was no game on Thursday fore noon, as the Walla Walla W'hitecapa bad not arrived. In the afternoon the Walla. Walla and Dayton clubs had a game, with the following result: Walla Walla 41, Dayton 5. It is due to Day ton to say that the club was organized on the Saturday before just to fill out the tournament, that the men had no I practice and bad navcr played together; but Capt. McCully, who is as noted as a fiue player as he is esteemed as a fiood teacher and that is saying a great deal werked bis men to the best possible advantage, and with practice will make an excellent team out of them, as the material is ood. Even now as fielders they are moro than usually good. The Walla Walla club played Sergeant Dun sit g ef Fart Walla Walla and private Bernard ot Fort Lapwai, which added not a little to the good playing, the lat ter being a fine catcher. Next on the programme was a game between the Mill Creek and Weston clubs. At the end of five innings, it being then quite late, the contending captains agreed to quit, the score standing, Weston 33, Mill Creek 6. Shields' line pitching, Lee Beam's snre catching and Dr. Wil liamson's vigorous batting largely con tributed to the result. Capt. Sullivan, of the Mill Creekers, who was perhaps the best general player on the ground, had only seven men, the other two were picked up from the spectators. At this stage of the tournament a misunder standing arose. The managers, who are entitled to the greatest praise, vainly endeavored to arrange a game between "the Walla Walla and Weston clubs to suit the convenience ot both. The statement in the Union that Walla Walla could not get a game out of Wes ton met with an emphatic denial from the captains of the WaUsburg, Dayton, Mill Creek and Weston clubs. It orig inated not so much perhaps from the mistaken conceit of "A. J. Jnnr." who sent the telegrams.as from the malicious stupidity ot small Paul of the Union, who cannat forgive the people of Wes ton for appraising him at his true value instead of accepting him at his own es timate the difference being immense. The truth is Weston agreed to play Walla Walla on Friday forenoon or af ternoon, or Saturday tarenoon or any time that the managers of the tourna ment might designate, hut Walla Wal la was so situated that they could not accept the conditions, and they with drew from the tournament. On Friday i forenoon a game was plaved between the Waitsburg and Mill Creek clubs.the bitter being filled in by J .H. Cannon of W eston and genial Joe McCoy ot W aits burg. At the end of the seventh inning the scare stood, Waitsburg 57, Mill Creek 29. The captains decided to let it stand. In tlie uiternoou IJayton and Weston played. Capt. McCully had improved his nine, especially by the ad i dition of F. W. Aeatz of the Dayton Chronicle, who made an excellent short stop, and by one or two other changes. On the other hand Weston was not in good form. For the first time during the whole tournament eur first baseman, Harry N'clson, missed a ball or two. This was noticeable from the fact that his excellent playing iu his position had been the admiration of all, for not only did he play wcll.bnt with an easy grace fulnes that made hiin a great favorite. Froome, Powers and Proebstel, who arc generally strong batters, played out of luck throughout the tournament. Pow ell played better than usual. In this game cap:, iseam i;aci an arm on me strike which impaired his play. Great interest was manifested in the game. Weston won and was thus entitled to first monev. The score, for which I am indebted to Mr. Ormsbce, the affable and attentive secretary of the touru' ment stood as follows: WESTON.

We leave W aits burg with reluctance. We have been liosiiitablv entertained. Nothing could have been more gentlemanly than th kind consideration of the t tournament managers and the members of the Waits burg bae ball club. Everything possi ble w.ixdone to make our sty agreea ble. - We carry with us the most pleas ant recollections and impressions of :heir unvarying" courtesy and uulailiug kind ness. Perhaps 1 ought to say something about Waitsburg itself and other mat ters connected with the tournament. though I nave been enjoying myselt tow much to take notes In act 1 torgot all about the LEADER until this morn- iur.

It has an air of thrift and genuine prosperity. Its dwellings look comfort able and ensy, and many of tkera are large aud elegant. The visitor is favor ably impressed with tlie large lawns and luxuriant shade trees. Those who laid off the town mast have had generous f hearts, tor the lets are large and each dwelling has plenty of space tor pleasure grounds and beautiful gardens. But a spirit of generosity seems to prevail. I tote tbeiolhwing, which may serve as pointers to Weston. On Tuesday fore noon the business men and others sab scribed S200 towards a Fourth of Jnly celebration. .

On Friday afternoon the band furnished splendid music for the play ers, and at the end of the game it head ed a procession through town in honor of the winning club. ' Iu the evening there wis a baud cancert and skatiai; carnival which was a rery enjoyable af fair. Perhaps a foot race between Dr, Allen, captain of the Waitsburg nine, and Mr. C. B. Proebstel of the Blue Mountains, merits mention, not so much on account of the record mude, but the size of the runners, each weighiug con siderably over 200 pounds. Dr. Allen won by four inches. Cass iusists that they were neck-and-neck, but that Al len's bay -window was the biggest; but this is a slur on the jolly disciple of Ga len, who in spite of his obesity is as ac tive and frolicsome as a kitten and trips too liirht fantastic as blithesome as a fairy. But the hour approaches whtc" we must ride behind Duncan sgrays ana away from this the scene of our pleas ant onting; and I have made this letter to long that you will not be obliged to resort to such a generous display of headlines as in my former one. MAC. A SAD FATE. Through the twilight shadows Millie crept to my side, and seatisg herself on an Ottoman, pillowed her curly head up on my knee. I knew that some confidence was about to be reposed iu roe, for I was her only living relative Millie Beresford's best friend. "What is it, child?" I asked, laying my hand upon the nut-brown locks. She glanced up with shy eyes, her sweet face flushing a little under my gaze. Edgar has has " she hesitated. I know, dear," I whispered; "lie loves you aud has asked you to be his wife." The brown eyes drooped. "He is so good, Aunt Rachel," she said softly, "and I love him so! You are satisfied with my choice, are you not?"::'--' v . .KV.t;V I kissed her tenderly. I was all aloae in the world and Millie was like aa own child to me. ' "Quite satisfied," I returned. "But, dear, you have been out in the evening air so long, and you are not strong, yon know; I fear yon will be ill." For the taint of hereditary consump tion was in her blood, aud I was always very tender ot my one; ewe lamb. Even as I spoke I saw a slight shiver creep over her delicate form, the red flash fad ed from her checks, and I heard a sound which was daily growing more familiar tot my ears a .slight, hacking cough It was like a knell of doom to me, and my heart sank like lead in my basom. There was a quick ringing step upon the walk outside my window, and a mo ment later Edgar Devereaux had enter ed the room. Edgar Devereaux tall, handsome. manly, aud evidently very much m love with my darling, j He was wealthy aud very popular; Millie was poor he could take care ef her. ; The match wis in every way desirable, I was glad to see the child's future provided for, aud gave my consent freely when Edgar spoke, as he proceeded to do, in an ear nest, straightforward way. So the matter was settled then and there and the two were betrothed. The days that came aud went to Ed gar and Millie were so full of perfect happiness that I began to believe that in this case at least the course ef true love does sometimes run smooth. He was perfectly devoted ! to her, and they were never happy apart. So the time flew ly on rose-colored wings; winter was half gone now and they were to be married in June. It was early springtime that we first met Mr. tlosuier, an elderly man widower and very wealthy far more so thau Edgar Devereaux. Mr. Hosmer v.-as presented to Millie and proceeded forthwith to fall desperately in love with her. It being hi3 nature to settle all important questions at issue speedi ly, he sought me aud asked for Millie's hand in marriage. j Of course I told him of the engage' ment existing between the girl and Mr Devereaux; he was griatly disappointed and chagrined, hut withdrew with as much grace as possible, which was all that was left for him to do. Inhe meantime I was watching Mil lie with tender solicitude. The inclem er.t season was always a trial to her weak lungs; now I could net fail to see hpr growing weakness, nor hide the truth trotn my own heart she was fail ing rapidly. One day in March a blustering, un pleasant season I shall never forget that day, though I liye a century was passing through the wide ball, just outside the parlor door, which was standing slightly ajar. I was about to close it, when I hoard the sound of voices within the pretty parlor; and act' 1B on the impulse of the moment, I d . h 6 .... 1 q"'e unobserved by its occu i pants. Millie sat in a big arm-chair be I e the glowing grate, looking fragile saow-drop in her neat costume of pale-blue cashmere, with white lace at throat and wrists, and a white rosebud nestling amid her brown curly locks. At her side, leaning against the marble mantel, pale and troubled, stood Edgar, his dark eyes fixed upon vacancy; it seemed to mc almost as if he dared not look her tull in the face. "It is true," he was saying.in a low and constrained tone;'"we may as well face the truth now, Millie, and be brave over it. "Your health is failing every day oh, my darling! my darling?" He caught the slim figure in his arms and held her close; to his heart tor a moment. Surely there could be bo doubt of his lore for her! Then he released her, and as she sank back into her oliair, I saw her press one thin hand to her aide as though in acute , pain. 1 could see how awfully white she had grown, yet her eyes sparkled like diamonds. I set my teeth hard together, and something compelled me to stand still and listen. His voice went on coldly: "So, Millie, I have concluded that it would not be expedient to marry in your feeble health; for oh, Ged! it would be agony unspeakable for me to be left alone just when I would be ac customed to my great happiness. It is better -for us, therefore, Millie, to to He hesitated. He had the grace to search for a word with which to break the crushing blow., She glanced into his face with wild; frightened eyes." ' "You would not give me up, Edgar," she gasped, brokenly; "surely surely you would never do that?" He bowed his head. "It is the best for both of us," he said slowlv. To the day of my death I shall never forget the look iu her tyes like a wounded creature over whom the hunter stands with the knife upraised. A haunting, pathetic look it is with me yet. She sank back among the cushions of the chair, pallid and panting, both hands pressed to her heart, and from her lips a tiny stream of blood oozed slowly. I could bear no more. I dashed into the room aad caught the child in my arms and pillowed the dear head upon the only heart that really loved hr. 'You have killed her!" I panted madly turning excitedly upon Edgar, who stood near, pale and terrified at the un expected effect of his words. "You have killed her! I repeated wildly. 'Leavo my house, Edgar Devereaux, and,' remember, if this child dies, you are her murderer!" Ho .tried to touch her hands, but I waved him back) and so he went away and I was alone with my darling. She was very ill after hat, and weeks passed before cho arose front, her bed, so fragile that she looked like a spirit. Edgar Devereaux had gone away I neither knew nor cared whither, .. When Millie was able I took her to drive one day in my pony phaeton. The first person we met was . Mr. Hosmer; : he drove with us and afterward returned home in our company. I was glad to see him. I knew that Millie must have something to arouse and attract her, or she would die. Wall, the result of the many visits paid us after that by Mr. Hosmer, who, ef course, had learned that the engage ment was a thing of the past now, was a repetition of his offer of marriage. I reminded him of the child's feeble health; he argued that a winter in Italy or Southern France might restore her etirely; certainly, it was worth tryiag. He loved heT, that was the secret of it. and Edgar Devereaux' love was not worth this man's. But Millia only shook her head. She did not, could not love him, shs said, for her heart was with that other man who was not worthy of her. Bat as time went by, and Mr. Hosmer's deli cate attentions never ceased, she seemed to relent; and one fair September day, she told me .that, if he were willing to take her without love only respect, aud esteem, and affection she would be his wife. In my heart I knew that the child was sacrificing.herself to pltase roe, aui to make happy the true heart that loved her. There was something which warned me that shs would never love any other man; but 1 knew that Mr. Hosmer would make her happy, and I argued myself into the belief that she would soon love him as devotedly as she had ever loved Devereaux; so I used all my influence in Mr. Hosmer's behalf. And one day the promise was made. They were to be married at once and go to Italy for the winter; I to accompany them. The wedding-day dawned a lovely autumn day. The ceremony was to take place at home at noon, and the house was beautifully decorated. An arch of white flowers had been erected in the center ef the room, under which the ceremony was to bo performed. Millie had gone up to her room to dress; I was to joiu her in half an hour. I was all ready for the festive occasion, and was passing through the rooms be low before the wedding guests should begin to arrive, inspecting the decora tions and arrangements, when all of a sudden I felt ray heart sink low in ray breast, and a cloud a black, angry cloud teemed to obscure the sky. With a strange foreboding whencs came it? Who can ever tell? I ran p- stairs to Millie's chamber. I opened the door aud entered. She was sitting in a low rocker beside the open window arrayed in a white wrapper; she held a newspaper in her hand. "Millie!" I cried hastily, relieved at seeing her there, "make haste, darling, time is flying, let me help yon dress!" I stepped short, and shriek after shriek burst from my lips. Millie was dead'. Even in death her cold hands clutched the newspaper. It was a copy of a jonrnal several months old. She had. evidently just discovered it, aad the dead eyes were staring blankly at these lines: "Married: In Great Barringtoo, Mass., April 20th, by the Be v. S. Glea aon, Edgar Devereaux, of Rockland, to Miss lxuise Arlington." He had been married six Months; had gone from her side direct to this other woman; he was utterly false and faith less! The little white coffin stood mnder the fragrant arch of flowers, fading, now, as her young life had faded. She would have sacrificed herself to please others, but God had taken her, and it was a happier fate.j Had Edgar Devereaux been true to her she might have been spared for years; bnt he had grown weary of her, and sought his freedom uader the pretext of her feeble health, that he mightj add to his own posses sions by wedding a we'althy woman. Bnt Brovide'uce punishes us for onr sins in this life, sometimes. I saw Ed gar Devereaux yesterday. Ho is old and bent aad worn, thoueh not vet forty; his wife is a virago and a torment, and he has lost his fortuue and hers also. I had rather be that dead girl to-day, in her little-green grave under the vio lets' than stand in the place of the man, who, in the eyes of God, is her mar derer! j HILTON OMMLMt AT10.N. V MlLTON, Oregon, May 24th, 1S85. Two lecent issues of the Pendleton E. O. seem to have been converted into a matrix, so to speak, and "Horace" via "Shortfellow"! have punctured it most unmercifully. Positive Horace and su perlative Shortfellow! Touching McDannelds and Joy's af fairs over in or about Helix, there ars i seemingly a goodly number of asses who do as their lawyer (alias the editor ef the aforesaid E. 0.) tells them. Forsooth, "a thing of beauty is a 'Joy' forever." How ecstatic is their hugging of the "thing" is evinced by the great array of talent employed to air their stupidity. We of Milton cau't be responsible for their dumbness, or the contemptible bulbs might be replanted. The late heavy dews invigorated all other green things. Perhaps Killian, Joy et al revivified. We, however, don't believe that Killian and "Short fellow" said that a "crossed warrant'' would so "stir; the bowels of Vansycle jurisprudence as to cause a relapse of the 'rejudicata' in the 'reasjesla' t Clark, Horace and Joy." We think that was a canard of premature birth, and may have-died in embryo, but was atnffed for exhibition in burlesque. We caught the report here before it had ful ly developed its tentacles, and smother ed it with a demurrer dismissed it, so speak, for want of prosecution, and taxed the costs to McGinnis and his bloody deputies. . We do think though, over here in Milton; that from what we've learned, if thosa "babes in the woods" invade our courts again with sach a ground upon which to issue a warrant of distress and restraint against deputy McGinnis and his confederates in crime, there'll be a perihelion in the subtransit of Horace across the disk of Joy's diaphragm in juxtaposition j to Clark, and Killian rounding up on the Shortfellow abont the time he is laying a "Wager" on Joy's left ventricle not that we havo any loose aspersions to waste on that Vans yele,. or any other sickly commis sion, but that we have drawn eur "Hcrace"-scope, arranged the sands and laid our astrolabe across the com pass, and liha the parallox t indicate that same without the least stretching. A prominent "Walla Walla Barister as report has it, told Clark (another prominent lawyer and supreme manda mus of Vaasycle Division) that by sprinkling just a little salt on the sylla bus of either; of those Milton courts, their judgments couldn't be affirmed, reversed r vica versa; and that Van sycle Canyon properly astride Helix would be the j "Mens Consciarecti" to all intents and purposes. Clark told Horace, and Horace tbinks it means that Milton is a . suburb of Vansycle, properly translated. But it doesn't mean any sach thing such a construc tion would be perfectly ignominious and an overt actiua against the classics. It means this: Clark et al (and others) fold your weapons, pat your tents in your hip pocket, hie you to your city of Vaasycle, tie yonr pruning book to a ploughshare, and tell Shortfellow, et al, and those other fellows who fell short to mind their own business. This is only a preface lo some learned remarks we're going to promulgate, sooner or later, unless you accept onr apology right now. We know a volume of dastardly mean things about you fellows and can man ufacture a condemned signt moro and worse ones, and are just cranky enough to so prostitute our talents and abase our education, as it were) aad you'd better stand from under or you'll feel something drop. MlLTON. A Washingten City special to the Pioneer-Press dated Jnly 7th, sai J: it is reliably reported that Commis sioner Sj arks is formulating an or der canceling all withdrawals of land by the United States for the protection of the indemnifying lion its of railroad grants. The effect of such an order would he to restore to the public domain at least 50.000. 000 acres of land that have been set apart for the benefit ef railroads whose grants were taken by settlers prior to survey, and would undoubt edly load to protracted and txpen sive litigation. The graduating class at West Point this year is smaller than usual, and although it is composed of a bright set ef young men on the average, it can boast of do prodigy. No one this year can approach the average of young Irving Hah, of Colorado, who carried off the honors last year.
