Well, they're off to the good.
Two games are on the safe side of
the baseball ledger and Yellow Kid

With the arrival of Millard, Thurs
day, and Shea, Friday, the team was
made complote and they won two
games from Walla Walla's crack ag
gregation with but little team prac
tice to go with. A week of team work
will rnb off the rongh edges, and then
Manager Cartauo will have a team

The Games.
In Saturday's game Ike Butler, the
Paoiflo Coast league veteran, was on
the rnbber for the Kids. He was in
vincible, allowing bnt five hits and
striking out 5 men. Bnt twice was
he called npon to woik hard, and in
both ' instances the batters melted
down before bis puzzlers. Parks,
first man np laoed ont a safe bit on
the first ball pitohed. He went ont
on second by a tbrowin by Krietz
from center, Crocker and Bncbet
never reaching the initial bag. In
their half of the first the Kids start
ed things doing and before the cur
tain dropped Danny Shea had pegged
home with the first score of the sea
son, and was followed over the pan
by Al Nordean. Tbo two soores came
on hits by Krietz, Shea, Davidson and
W. Nordean and a wild throw to third
by Knapp. JWalla Walla's lone score
came in the second on safe hits by
Gregory and Blackburn and an error
at short. Nothing more was doing
after the fonrtb, when the Kids made
one more, Bntler coming in on singles

Sunday Game.
The attendance at Sunday's game
was large. Walla Walla rnn an ex
cursion train and many came np from
Pendleton. The game was bard
fought from start to finish. Athena
fans had their interest in this game
centered in Osborn, a new twitler
who came to tryout with the Yellow
Kids. He made good. At no time
did Walla Walla connect with him,
except in the sixth when Crocker,
Bncbet and Tempeny each fonnd him

for a single. Crocker scored ou Tern
pony's single and an error by David
son. Bnchet was caught at third,
and Krnger scored on Davidson's sec
ond error at short. This was fill for
Walla Walla though she was iu the
! game all the time.
i W. Nordean scored for Atheua in
t be second.- He hit safe aud scored
on Millard's single. Nothing was
doing for the Kids until their half of
the sixth when with two down, two
bits, a wild throw and Tempeny's
error scored Al Nordean and Bntler.
Athena's lineup appears to snit the
fans. Both the infield and ontfleld,
with praotioe, will be bulwarks of
streugth. Lienallen looks good at sec
ond base, and Millard at third is ell
that has been claimed for him. The
Nordean boys are showing np well,
and Athena has a pippin in Ktiotz.
Davidson was unfortunate with bis
errors in both games. They came at
oritioal times when to make them
meant scores. He is a heady player,
is in the game all the tirre, and with
practice should play bis position with
the best of them. Danny Shea looks
as natural as an old shoe behind the
plate, and received the glad band from
all when he appeared on the gronnds.

A TRAGIC DEATH
H0MEH H. HALLOCK KILLED IN
. PORTLAND FLKE.
Was Formerly Editor of the Pendle
ton Tribune and Well Known :
in Athena.
Homer H. Hallook, at one time ed
itor of the Pendlotou Tribune, and
well knowu iu Athona, met a tragio
death at Portland Friday afternoon,
when bo leaped from tbe eighth story
of the Chamber of Commerce build
ing during a fire.
Mr. Hallook visited Atheua twice
during last spring in tbe interest of
the Lewis and Clark exposition and
assisted in getting up. tbe first excur
sion train from Umatilla county to
tbe -fair. Lately Mr. Hallock had
been employed with tbe United Rail
way Co., with offices in tbe Chamber
of Commerce bnilding. Concerning
tbe fire and Mr. Hallock's death, the
Portland Journal says:
It was 2:30 o'clock wheu the fire
was discovered. Offices on the seventh
floor were crowded, while tbe top floor
is oooupied entirely by the commer
cial club. Suddenly both floors were
filled with thick clouds of smoke
which rushed through the corridors
and down the elevator shafts, pouring
through the windows and doors.
It was the only alarm given the oo
cupauts. In tbe wake of the smoke
came yellow tongues of flames, lick
ing their way through the corridors
aud offices and finding easily inflam
mable fuel in tbe tiusol dooorations
and riob tapestries.
Men aud women rushed wildly to
tbe elevators without waiting to pack
their belongings. The cages were
locked and tbe elevators were stopped
as soon as tbe flames broke ont. The
ropes 'and cables which control the
maohines were burned almost before
the fire was discovered, rendering es
cape by that means impossible.
H. H. Hallock of tbe United States
Railway company aud a well known
business man of Portland, jumped to
his death from the eighth floor to the
top of the Union Printing company's
bnilding, falling a distance of seven
stories. He was crushed to death in
stantly. Mr. Hallock had been dining in the
Commercial club rooms and was one
of these who was caught on the upper
floor by tbe flames. Having all pos
sible chance of escape cut off except
by jumping, Mr. Hallock made his
way to the buck of tbe building and
crawled through a window. The
flames were rapidly rushing npon him
and seeing no alternative but to jump
or perish in the fire, he looked below,
balanced himself an instant, then
leaped into tbe air. He strnok the
top of the building below aud was
crushed to death. Tbe body was
quickly rescued by the firemen and
carried away from the fire. Dave
Cappa, the Chiet of tbe Commercial
olnb, dropped five stories into a life
net. Aside from losing bis breath
from his rapid trausit through the air
and striking tbe net and losing con
sciousness for a minute or two, be es
caped injury.
Cappa went to one of tbe windows
and waved a signal to tbe crowd be
low. It knew in a minute what it
meant that his means of escape had
been cut off that unless the flames
were put out and that was impossi
ble, for tbe whole upper story was a
roariug furnace at that time he
would either have to perish in tbe
kitchen or jump five stories to tbe roof
below Mm.
"My God, get tho nets I" some one
yelled.
And at the same time 1000 voices
yelled to Cappa to "Hold ou, old man,
for your life!"
For an instant a clond of smoke
which puffed out of tbe window in
which Cappa was seated hid him
from view. A groan weut up from
the crowd, for it thought tbe man
would fall from his seat.
... Bnt tbe cloud of smoke passed by
and Cappa waved bis hands to the
multitude below. He signaled tbat
be would wait for tbe net
When it had been stretched, Chief
Campbell yelled to the crowd to keep
still.
"For God's sake keep still; tho least
noise may mean tbe man's death,"
yelled tbe chief.
There wag silence, Tbe chief waved
his baud to Cappa to jump. He
crawled out of tbe window, held by
bis bands, and throwing himself back
ward a few inches let go.
He partially turned over as he de
scended and struck tbe net with a
tbnd.
Tom Richardson, secretary of tbe
Commercial club, stood upon the roof
of tbe bnrning building with flames
all around him and tbe upper story
threatening to collapse at any moment
He was forced to hang over tbe wall
rcstiug his feet upou a narrow ledge
of the wall. He could not see tbe lad
. ders that were being raised from be
low aud as the flames grew nearer aud
neirer he made several more attempts
to crawl down to the window ledge.
The oiowd seeing the tower ladder
raised aud Firemau Perkius start np
tbe wall, raised a shout that drowned
tbe noise of the fire.
Some one got a megaphone and
shouted to Mr. Riohardsou to hold to
the wall until help reached him. The
tower ladder only reached to the sixth
floor and from there up to tbe roof
where Mr. Richardson was, Fireman
Perkins bad to use the grappling lad
der, drawing one up on bis back as he
climbed from ledge to ledge. There
was but frail support for tbe ladders
aud tbe smoke made it impossible for
tbe rescuer and rescued to see each
other plainly. Just as a portion of
the west wall caved in Perkius ieaoh
ed Richardson and assisted him down
the ladder.
CAN DRIVE OVER RESERVE.
Senator Uearln Telegraph! that Cattle
men May Now Use Roads.
Accordiug to a telegram received
by Colonel J. H. Raley from Senator
Gsarin, cattle will now be allowed to
cross the Umatilla Indian reser
vation, without being subject to a
holdup by the Indians and tbe pay
ment of 1 per bead toll, says tbe
Peudlotou Tribuno. He says that tbe
secretary of tbe interior has issued an
order whioh permits oattlo to bo driv
eu aoross tbe reservation under guard
of tbe Iudian polioe. They must be
kopt in the main traveled road and .
must not be permitted to loiter along
the road for grazing purposes under
the pretense of being driven aoross.
It is to preveut tbe abuse of tbe privi
lege in this way that the Indian police
will be sent along with each drove of
cattle.
The interior department seems very
anxious to accomodate the stookmen
of this county, but many complaints
have been made in crossing tho res
ervation. The news contaiuod in tho messago
referred to above, was hailed with
delight by tbe sheepmen as well as by
owners of oattlo, as they boliove that
this is tbe first step in tbe direction of
the privilege to take any and all kinds
of stock aoross tbe reservation. The
matter of allowing cattle to cross tbo
lands of the Indians was taken up
with tbe government some time tigo,
by Col. Raley ou bobalf of the cattle
men. Yesterday morning he wired
Senator Gearin and also tbe secretary
of tbe interior, if cattle might not be
driven aoross under tbe restrictions
named above. The prompt response
would seem to indicate tbat Senator
Gearin or Col. Raloy have somo in
fluence with tbe department at
Washington. ,
A Popular Candidate-
H. K. Cake, the leading candidate
for United States senator, is very
popular iu Western Orcgou. This is
evident from the following takou from
the Forest Grove Times of March
15th:
"Hon. H. M. Cuke, of Portland, is
well known and very popular in
Forest Grove. Iu connection with his
work as president of the Portland
Commercial Club, aud as a member of
tbe State Development League, he
H. M. Cake.
has visited this city several times and
many of our leading citizous have bo
como very well acquainted with him.
He is an orator, an organizer, a dis
tinguished lawyer and a genial
gentleman who makes friends wher
ever he meets bis fellow citizens.
He will undoubtedly got a large vote
here."
Hoyt Gaining;.
We learn from antbentio sources
tbat Ralph. Hoyt, candidate for state
treasurer, is steadily gaining in
strength and popularity. The people
of tbe state of Oregon realize the
great benefits that J will accrue (to
their respective sections through tbo
policy of Mr. Hoyt which is: State
funds collected in a county to remain
in circulation iu that county.
