ENTERPRISE
MARVIN BRINGS HUNTER
FROM WALLA WALLA
Sheriff Marvin returned from Walla
Walla, Saturday, bringing Wm.
Hunter, charged with complicity In
the horsestea'lng of Arthur Hultz.
Hunter like Hultz waived the pre
liminary examination and was bound
over to circuit court by Justice Smith
In the sum of $2000. Hultz' ball 3
$500, and he is still in jail, but
Hunter was released Tuesday, 10
Lostine men and one from Enterprise
signing his bond.
Hunter was at Walla Walla sell
ing a burt of horses and when
arrested protested vehemently that
the horses were Ms own or some that
he could prove authority to sell.
However the charge does not con
cern any of the horses Hunter bad
tut Wal:a Walla, but refers to the
three stolen horses found in Hultz'
possession at Asotin.
One of the horses belongs to John
Cramer of.WaIoa, and the other
two are owned by James Henderson
of Wallowa.
The opening bill of the Ethel Tuck
a.. Qt-rolr tnmnnnv at the nnprfl hOUSe
on Thursday evening, will be the stir-!
ring drama, "La Belle Marie," in
which Miss Tucker appears in the
dual role of "Jean Ingleslde" and
"La Belle Marli." Miss Tucker
starred for two seasons throughout
the East in this popular play and
was pronounced by the critics of the
leading eastern papers to be the
greatest hit of those years. In Miss
Tucker's supporting company .are a
number of the leading artists of the
coast.
Inasmuch as "La Belle Marie" was
presented in this city by the Curtlsa
Comedy company, It is a very happy
choice on the part of Miss Tucker,
as it will afford the people an excell
ent chance to make comparisons.
Included in the company are a
number of exceelingly clever special
ty people. Inters jesed between acts
on Thursday evening will be dancing
and singing specialties by Miss Mar
jorle Mandevllle and a monologue
stunt by Mr. Lynton Athey.
The company was billed for a
performance on Friday evening but
it has been decided to defer that per
formance until , Saturday evening,
when the screachlngly funny farce
comedy, "Lend Me Your Wife," will
be presented. Nothing funnier has
ever been seen on the American
stage.

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 baaerunnlng and
Inability! to hit when hits meant runs.
Swell fielding by Joseph's new third
baseman, a son of Editor Shutt, had
a great deal to do with Joseph's
victory, for by fine stops and accu
rate, hard throws he turned several
incipient baiehlU Into outs.
Tomiry Mil"n covered several
acres of tangled weeds out in right
pasture and made several catches
that stopped scoring by Enterprise.
Milan was also strong with the stick,
getting a homer and a one-base hit.
His otherwise goo 1 record was marred
by letting a ground hit get by him on
which W. Pideock reached second
when perfect fielding would have
held him at first.
Pace pitched six Innings for En
terprise, his first essay at the job,
and was found for one or more hits
In every Inning, Including two two
baggers, one threa-baser and two
horaeruns, Bllyeu pitched the last
two innings and fanned five out of
six men who faced htm, the sixth
tapping an easy grounder into
Bilyeu's hands,
HaUgarth was hit hard enough to
win any ordinary game but the hits
were inopportune. Two good chances
to score were lost by dopey baserunn
Ing. The umpiring was poor but both
sides suffered. Enterprise, however,
getting much the worst of it. Perfect
umpiring would not have won the
game for Enterpiise, Its loss being
chiefly due. as above stated, to care
less work on the bases.
Bauer was the bright, particular star
for Enterprise both In fielding, batt
ing and baserunnlng.' If two or three
others had been as alive to advance
a base on the slightest chance as
was Bauer, the result would have
lesn different.
Enterprise made one in the first
Inning on Aklns muff of Shutt's good
pickup and throw of Savage's hot
grounder, the latter's steal of second,
gift of third by virtue of a short
passed ball by the catcher, and home
on R. Pldcock's sacrifice fly. Score
two was made In the second, Billy
Bauer knocking a clean home run

John Collier, president of La Grande

publld'y manager, were at Joseph
Monday night eoisulUng with the
business men and endeavoring ti
secure their consent to combine the

to be held In La Grande the first
week in October. They say La
Grande is going to make a big success
of the fair, which will be hold on
vacant ground in the heart of the city
big tents and the skating rink hous
ing the exhibits. Horse racing will
be cut out, and $2300 given In
prlze3 for exhibit. The Wallowa
county exhibit would be kept to
gether and they argue that It would
be seanbylO ojtil'e people to where
one would see It if held at Joseph or
elsewhere in thU valley.
The gentlemen came to Enterprise
Tuesday and endeavored to Interest
the citizens In the same proposition,
but of course It Is not our say. The
fair was voted to Joseph this year
by the court and that town has the
say whether to combine with Union
county or not.
