the team of Chas. Aydelott, who hauls
milk on the Greenville route became
frightened and broke away. The
team broke away from the wagon,
scattering cans broadcast which fortu
nately were empty and breaking the
harness all to pieces. The wagon was
only slightly damaged, a broken neck-

ple damage. The horses were not
damaged, one being found three miles

Liquor Case Dismissed
The case of the city vs Albert G.
Watson, which was held in the City
Hal! Saturday was dismissed by city
recorder, Levi Walker. The charge
which was the basis of the complaint
was that Watson sold malt beer last
January in violation of a city ordinance
which forbids such sale. Attorney
Burke Tongue, of Hillsboro, defended
the case and attorney J. N. Hoffman
represented the city. The principal
witnesses called were David Keen and
John Stribbich, both of this place.

the Daily Bulletin. It is an anniversary
copy containing 56 pages, and is a

Forest Grove 6-Royal Club 2
The ball game Sunday was a strong
feature of the season, our boys winning
against the Royal Club team of Port
land, which played fast ball but not
strong enough for the home team.
The score stood 6 to 2 at the end of
the game. Drew of the home team
fanned out 15 men while the visit
ing pitcher, Minor, fanned 12 men.
Drew let 2 men go to bases as against
4 for Minor. Considerable excitement
was caused when Davis at shortstop
caught a red hot liner and sent it
to Fairchild at third base thereby
shutting out a score.
The line up of the teams was as
follows:
