' The horses leading behind took fright at the machine and swung! to one side turning the rig over throwing the elder Mr. McKen-1 zie out on his head and shoulders Mr. Dibble stopped at once, and i helped to extricate the unfor tunate man, placed him in the car and made all haste to the doctors. The injured man did not regain consciousness and was taken to the hospital where he died the next morning. The son states that concussion of the brain was the cause, there was no blame attached as Mr. Dibble was driving his car carefully. It was a most unfortunate affair and much regretted by Mr. Dib ble. Aside from these accidents the celebration passed off with no particular incident Very little boisterousness was witnessed, the large crowd was quite orderly. THE RACES protty raco, although not excit ing Bonnie Regs was ontercd by Harris; Main, by Armstrong and Conoway by Bedoll. Thcso fin ished a8 named. Bonnio Regs took the raco without and urging. Monday's races woro not at tractive as tho crowd was anx ious about tho ball game and to hear tho returns of tho prize fight Main, Sovcnty and Navijo wore starters in tho three-eighth which was won by Sovcnty with tho marc second. The half-mile had Bonnio Regs; Seventy and Conoway and they finished in tho order named in 519, which was very good time considering tho condition of tho track. Tho saddle horse race for Tues day did not fill and tho two long er races wero competed for by the satno horses. Theso wero really the best races of the meet but witnessed by only a small crowd. Bonnio Regs took both races with seventy second. Cono way, the young stallion Deiongmg to Bedell, showed some brilliant bursts of speed in these races but he was poorly handled. He will make a race horse. A number of our local business men think it is a mistake to have horse races on the 4th. Thoy say fair week is the time for tho horses and that we should devoto the celebration funds to general sports and not have a long drawn-out celebration. Unless more horses can bo had to com pete, these littlo meets tend to but racing on the back number. If local horsemen would get a larger number of racers in shape it would stimulate tho game and add greater interest People don't want to see all running races either. There are a good many well bred harness colts in this section and if the Fair Asso ciation was given assurance, that these would be put in condition it is quite likely provision would be made for several harness events at the fair. BEST BALL GAME EVER Prairie City and Burns Teams Give People Two Fine Games TWELVE INNINGS TO DECIDE ONE Second Day an Excellent Exhibition With Fine Work By Both TcaniB Costly Errors in First Game Prize Fight at Reno Goes to the Black Champion. Before a largo and enthusiastic crowd of baseball fans tho Prairie City and Bums teams met on tho local grounds for tho first time on July 3. No dope could bo figured as the teams had not even played a third team on which a line might be drawn. Conse- 'quently the crowd anxiously awaited tho indefinite result. It could clearly be seen from tho ( first inning that a(good game was to follow. , Wm. Gould for Burns opposed E. Pugsley, of Prairie, on the mound, and both men did credit to themselves. The game from start to finish was a good clean one free from wrangling. A few costly errors were made nt critical points in the game which gave Prnirie City the victory 4-1. IIUKNS S.

Another accident which re did not attract tho usual interest on account of so few to compete. Tlje people of this section like racing but want to see contests between horses properly classed. As it was the same horses were seen every day and after the first day they knew just where to Dlace them. Bonnie Regs won every race he started in and Baber's Navijo came first over Seventy in the quarter while the latter took the three-eighths from the mare. It is the popular opinion that she could have de feated the old horse had she been gotten off good at the post and her rider had been experienced. The first race on Saturday day afternoon between saddle horses was really the only con test that created much enthusi asm. There were three entries: Jimmie Richardson entered his saddle pony, Ben; Jesse Bunyard entered Sunday and Lute Mace put in Teddy Bear. They finish ed in the order named. In the quarter raco four horses were entered: Seventy and Wade Hampton, by Bedell; Daisy, a pretty little gray mare irom Lewiston, Idaho, by Peters, and Navijo by Baber. Wado Hamp ton was not able to strike owing to a bad foot and the other three were sent to the post Navijo won with Seventy second in slow time. Tho half mile dash was a very feet swollen and crushed, J. M. Johnson, a freighter, plying be tween Vale and Burns, lay on the roadside for several hours on last Wednosday waiting for the doctors to relieve him. John son and two other freighter had left Vale that morning and ac cording to report Johnson and one of tho other men were intoxica ted. Johnson was driving tho last of the two six horses teams and when about nine miles west of town he fell off the wagon, the wheels running over both of his feet and crushing the left foot in a terrible manner. The other freighters soon missed him and found him lying in tho dirt, suffering great pain. When Drs. Looney and Taylor arrived on the scene several hours later, Johnson had his shoes off, his feet were crushed and badly swolen. He will lose part of one of his feet Vale Enterprise. N. F. Reed C. L.

Both teams Times-Herald does not desire to came on the field full of confi-i devoto the space. Tho following denco and a battle royal began. ' from Reno tells the story cepl a slight cut on his lip which wns tho opening of a wound re ceived in training. Ring experts say that it was not oven a championship fight Jeffries had a chance in the sec ond round, perhaps, but after the sixth it was plain that he wns outclassed in every point, nnd after the 11th round it was hopeless. It was the greatest demonstra tion over seen of the failuro of a fighter "to como back" after years of retirement. Tho science of the black men made Jeffries look liko a green man, the big Jeffries wns like a log. The re viled Johnson was like a black panther, beautiful in his, artness and defensive tactics. Jeffries fought by instinct, it seemed, showing his gamencss and his great fighting heart in every round, but he was only n shell of his old self. The old ability to take a terrible beating and bear it untill he landed tho knockout blow was gone. After the third round Johnson treated his opponent almost like a joke. He smiled and blocked playfully, warding ofT the bear like rushes of Jeffries with a marvelous science, now taking a blow under his arm, again pluck ing it out of the air as a man stops n baseball. Out of tho sea of opinious and nrgumenti that bois'tercd up tho fight and made it the talk of the world, these pinnacles of fact have been cast up. The fight was on tho square. Of that there was no doubt nfter the first round. There was no evidence of tho "famous yellow streak" on the part of Johnson. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. New Spring and Summer Novelties Enthusiasm was not lacking both teams having a large num ber of supporters. Again Gould opposed Pugsley and both men John Arthur Johnson, a Texas negro, the son of an American slave, is the first and undisputed i heavyweight champion of tho should bo especially mentioned, world for the excellent work they did James J. Jeffries, of California, in this second game, however .winner of 22 championship fights Pugsley was forced to give up the ship in the Oth inning and the mound was occupied by Jackson. the man who never was brought to his knees before by a blow, has passed into history as a broken idol. He suffered defeat No scores wero made until the at tho hands of tho black cham seventh when Jackson scored for.pion. j You will never again be quite 'as you are today mentally or 'physically.

In tho 9th Jackson and Overholt scored for Prairio which locked and the towel up tno scores, isettncr siuo again scored until the 12th when Jameson scored after a two base hit. This resulted in the hardest fought contest ever pulled of on While Jeffries wns not actually counted out, ho wns saved only from tho crowning shame by his friends pleading with Johnson not to hit the fallen man again, was brought into the ring from his corner.

While the 1st game according to tho scorers' book belonged to Prairio the second game was rightly Burns. Arrangements for a third game wero attempted but Prairio mouth nnd a dozen cuts on tho face; ho had a black, closed eye nnd swollen features, and he held his head in his hands dazed and incoherent. Johnson walked out of tho ring without a mark on his body, ex Business Chat for Business People Do you want to deal with people who attend to their In business? We aro too busy to meddle with others.

Tho outcome of an experiment to be tried with burned-over tim ber in Coos County by the Santa Fe Railroad will be watched with interest throughout the Pacific Northwest If success ful, it will mean that large areas of forest, formorly considered useless, will become valuable for the burned-over timber yet remaining there. Tho Santa Fe has contracted for 1200 coder piling from such n tract in Cooso County. If the charred piling nroves n success, much more of the material will bo brought by the Santa and a wide market will be found for this apparently worththless timber.
