Hunter, charged with complicity in the horsestea'lng or Arthur Hultz. Hunter like Hulta waived the pre liminary examination and was bound over to circuit court by Justice SmUh In the sum of $2000. Hultz' ball is $500, and he Is still In Jail, but Hunter was released Tuesday, 10 lstlne men and one from Enterprise signing his bond. Hunter was at Walla Walla soil ing a bunch of horses and when orres'.eJ protested vehemently that the horses were his own or some that he could prove authority to sell. However the charge does not con tent any of the horses Hunter had at Walla Walla, but refers to the three stolen horses found lu Hultz' possession at Asotin. One of the horse? belongs to John Cramer of Wal owa, and the other two are owned by James Henderson of Wallowa. The discovery of the operations of (Hunter and Hultz is said to have' been accidental. Three boys found three horses cashed in the brush above Loatine, told their father who informed other men and the place was watched. The horses were taken out and were the three found in Hultz' possession at Asotin. li BELLE IS OPENING PLAY ETHEL TUCKER COMPANY WILL PRESENT FAVORITE DRAMA THURSDAY NIGHT.

ENTERPRISE LOSES GAME TO JOSEPH CARELESS BASERUNNING MAIN LY RESPONSIBLE NEW STAR THIRD BASEMAN. Enterprise lost a close, interesting and, on the whole, well played game of baseball to Joseph, Sunday after noon, by careless baserunnlng and inability to hit when hits meant runs. Swell fielding by Joseph's new third baseman, a eon of Editor Bhutt, had a great deal to do with Joseph's victory, for by fine stops and accu ral, hard throws he turned several Incipient basehits into outs. Tommy Milm covered several acrej or tangled weeds out la right pasture and male several .catches that stopped scoring by Enterprise. Milan was also strong with the stick, getting a homer and a one-base hit. His otherwise good record was marred by letting a ground hit get by him on which W.- Pldcock reached second when perfect fielding would, have held him at first. Pace pitched six innings for En terprise, his first essay at the Job, ana was found for one or more hits In every Inning, including two two- baggers, one three-baser and two homeruns. Bllyeu pitched the last two Innings and fanned five out of six men who faced him. the sixth tapping an easy ' grounder into "liyeu'a hands, Hallgarth was hit hard enough to win any ordinary game. but the hits were Inopportune, Two good chances to score were lost by dopey baserunn 'ng, The umpiring was poor but both sides suffered, Enterprise, however, getting much the worst of It.
