IS IT A HOAX?
Baker City, August 26. A report from
Uurnes, Harney County, gives the fol
lowing account of the Indian scare at
Diamond and Happy Valleys.
Last Friday night the settlors of DIa
inond and Happy Valleys became badly
alarmed Dy reason of the supposed pres.
ence of Indians in the vicinity, immedi
ately south of the Stein Mountain side,
During the day. Bud Smith, a camel
rancher, had been riding the range, and
seeing unmistakable signs of Indians.
spread the report that a band of hostile
Bannocks was in the vicinity.
About midnight the people were fright
ened at seeing signal fires, several up
icwoy i;rcen na numerous others on
the adjacent mountain aides, clearly
pointing to Indians close at hand. This
caused a general stampede of the settlers,
who left their homes and rushed pell-mell
with the best means at their command,
collecting at Teaweard's and Clark's
ranches in Diamond Valley. Runners
and scouting parties went out during the
night but no more satisfactory infor
mation was obtained than the capture of
a Piute squaw, who claimed to bo tost.
The gathering broke up on Sunday, all
returning to their homes.

cussing the situation at Jackson's Hole,

aa the settlers who .vere very much
frightened, were congregated at two
points and sending out scouting parties.
Tho conflict, he said. Is between the
state laws of Wyoming and the treaty
with the United tSates. The general saw
that the work on the military road to
the Hole country was being rushed be
fore be left that section, n he antici
pates further use for it.

THE BLUE AND MITE
How the A. P. C. Won Its Port
land Victory.
A FINE GAME OF CRICKET
Multnomah Will Play the Home
Team In Thin City Next
Saturday.
Astoria won a well earnod victory on
the Portland! field against the Portland
Amateur Athletic club on Saturday, when
the A. F. C's cricket team tried conclu
sions with their up-river opponents. In
fact, though the P. A. A. C. had a thor
oughly good and representative team,
with the exception of one man, they
were completely snowed under by the
superior playing of their opponents In
every department of the game. The los
ing team, after all hope of victory was
gone, made a splendid uphill light, and
Captain Van Heekeren and his men are
to be congratulated on the pluck and
skill they displayed in the face of an
ovenwhelmlng-jjefeat.
The day was warm and pleasant, but
the high wind that blew all afternoon
made the dust fly everywhere, Interfering
with the play more than once. Captain
Astbury, tossing with & lucky gold piece
of antique date, won the throw and
elected, to send the Portland men to
the bat. The game Btartel shortly before
3 o'clock, Van Heekeren and Parrott
presenting themselves at the wickets.
Wilkinson at tho north end and Bell at
the south took hold of the leather for
Astoria and kept the batsmen busy cal
culating. A few runs were scored off the
first two overs and' then the slaughter
began. Wilkinson, whose bowling waa
positively unplayable, knocked Van Heek
eren's middle stump out of the ground
In the second ball of his third over, and
the Portland captain retired to. the pa
vilion with three runs to his credit. Blng
ley took his place, and snicked Wilkin
son's fourth ball to log. The batsmen
started to run, but Gibson got hold of
the leather and threw it well' in to
Rathom, who put down Blngley's wick
ets, retiring him for three runs. From
this time on Astoria held matters down
close. Wilkinson found Parrott's stumps
In tho beginning of the fourth over, and
half a minute afterwards tooisr-HUder's
wicket as well. Then Oilman tried to
drive what looked like a soft one from
Bell and put It right Into the bowler'a
hands. Wilkinson took hold again, did
the hat trick, that is to say, put three
three men out in three successive balls,
and in the la.st ball of ths next over
trundled down a beautiful shooter to
Henwood, who pliayed all round It and
went down with the wreck, leaving Tort
land all out for 14 runs.
Gunn and Bell began play for the blue
and white against the bowling of Van
Heekeren and Green. Both men reemed
to start out with confidence fcnd runs
came freely, though far too many high
hits were made for either man to be
reckoned safe. Before a separation was
effected the Portlanda' score had been
beaten without the loss of a Single
wicket. Gunn cut the fifteenth run for
a elntfe, and then hit a loose one up
into the in field, where it was easily
held. Gibson filled the breach and it
'.ooked as If he was out for a score, but
In a few overs one of Van Heekeren's
seductive lobs tempted him to rashness
and be was clean bowled for 6 runs.
Wilkinson came in next. Bell was bat
ting easily and without a show of hesi
tation, but continually putting the ball
dangerously high. This tendency lost him
his place, for as soon as Wilkinson ar
rival he Bkied one into the long field,
which Crocker negotiated very neatly.
Davis followed on, and runs kept coming
at a lively rate. Van Heekeren got tired
of the monotony and put Hlldor on
trundling in Parrott's place. The change
was Justified in the next over for Davis
was clean bowled by the newcomer, after
he had made 13, In a ffaultless manner,
He gave no chances and played a careful
nnd most excellent gam?, A. S. Tee,
vVho burst forth upon the assembled mul
titude in a cowboy's sombrero and a
stubby beard, took his place, and was
Immediately hailed by the crowd as
"Chris. Evans." Mr. Evans sustained his
reputation in good shape by murdering
everything that came within reach of
his bat and the two men at the wickets
kept the field leather chasing for a con
siderable time. When Wilkinson had
piled up 23 h6 sent back a hard one to
Van Heekeren, who held It. Wilkinson's
innings, though' by no menus faultless,
was made up of fine hits, both to leg and
off, and he was heartily cheered us ho
left the crease.. Captain Astbury was
next man In. He played Hllder's first
ball, but walking out to the next with
tne intnetlon of scorinar a boundary hit
he missed It altogether and was promptly
stumped by Van Heekeren. Hlgglns
troiteo in to tne wickets and began ex
ercising his shoulders by cutting Van
Heekeren to the boundary for two. Ho
tonoweo tnis up with two singles and
then sk'led a ball Into Parrott's hands,
the fielder maklmr a rarettv eatch. Mad-
dock, Astoria's old veteran, went In to
fill the vacancy acconVmnl.Hl hv rounrla
of applause. Teo, who had been playing
a beautiful game, saluted Maddock by
hitting Hllder to leg for 2. The crowd
wos then treated to another exhibition
of terllng cricket. Both men were play
ing faultlessly, hitting clean and hard,
and pasting the Portland bowlers all
over tho field. When Maddock had made
13 runs a neat ball of Van Heekeren's
beat him and he went back to the errand-
stand, accompanied by the cheers of all
his opponents. Rathom took his place,
and runs again came quickly, he and Teo
keeping things moving In a thoroughly
iveiy manner. After making 6. Rathom
Hopped out of his crease to hit a ulnar
ball from Wider to leg an.I was DrorruDtlv
stumped by Van Heekeren. Spencer was
Highest of all in Leavening Power
the last man, but he didn't get a ciianc
to distinguish himself at the bat. Tee hit
an easy ball to tho olt and tried to set
too many for it, with tho result ti.at
he waa run out. This retired the team
for the fine total' of 120 runs, leaving As
toria victors by a mai-gln of 115. Tee s
score of 31, the top notch of tho match,
was worthy ofthe highest praise and his
fellow players congratulated him heartily
on his success. It was far and away
te best innings of the day.
The Astoria boys have asked the As
torian to express their thanks for tiio
kind and courteous treatment accorded
them by Captain Van Heekeren and tiio
other members of the Portland Ham,
who took their crushing defeat like true
eportsmen, and who did all in their power
to make their visitors comfortable

This victory gives Astoria a good fight
ing chance for the handsome and costly
cup that has been on exhibition in Port
land for some weeks, and which will go
to the team winning the championship
series. The A. F. C. plays the rest of the
season's contests at home and tne Smith's
Point grounds are being put in ordor
for next Saturday, when the home
team meets the Multnomahs in this city.
The game will be a close and exciting
one, as in all probability both sides will
have their strongest representation. A
large attendance is expectei and tho
match will be well worth, witnessing.
Multnomahs' chances for tho pennant
practically depend oq their winning the
game, while the A. F. C. Is determined to
carry the old blue and white to tha top
of the tree.

him fully Informed as to matters at this

Superintendent Clark tias Just completed
an estimate of the cost of putting the

dition. He thinks that it will require
$160,000 and that the work might be com
pleted In ton months or less. He en
thusiastically favors tho beginning of
work at once on the extension to Inde
pendence prairie, which would add great
ly to the business ot the road. Mr. Stone
Is confident that the people of Crook
county would build a wagon road to the
end of track Immediately, and has so
written Mr. Hammond. The Importance
of beginning the work at an early dato
Is pointed out in order that the road
may be in a position to handle next sea
son's wool crop. The hauling distance
from Prinevllle to railroad at Independ
ence prnlrle would b reduced fuliy 00
miles, which Mr. Stono feels certain
would causa th! bulk of the wool crop,
amounting to about 3,000.000 pounds an'.
nunlly, to find a market via the O. C
& E."
