BALL GAME ENDS j
Albany and Dallas Play Splen
did Game Up to Ninth When
Trouble Starts.
DISPUTE OVER GROUND
RULES IS THE CAUSE
Umpires, Ball Players and the
Scores of Fans Enter Into
Threating Debate.
The baseball game between Albany
and Dallas, yesterday afternoon on the
local grounds ended in the first of the
ninth inning following an unsettled
dispute between the umpires. The
argument between the officials re
sulted in the players taking part, to
gether with scores of fans and a near
riot was created. Police interposition,
occurred, and when the game was
called again both teams refused to go
back on the field.
After eight innings of good fielding
and exciting playing, the row which
broke up the gmc, happened in the
first of the ninth, when the Dallas
men walked off of the field with the
score 3 to 3. The dispute arose when
when two of the Dallas men were out
in the ninth, with a runner on first and
second base each. The batter missed
the third strike, the catcher dropped
the ball, and regaining it over threw
prsl base. The runny- on second
scored after taking two bases on n
passed ball which is contrary to the
ru'e of the local grounj.
Basing his decision on a ground rult
providing for only one extra base on
an overthrow at hrst base, the umpire
ordered the first runner bark to third
and the other to second. The Albany
players contended this rule was under
stood fully by the visitors before the
game began, but the Dallas players as
serted they did not so understand it
and when the two runs they claimed
were not allowed they left the held.
Mrs. E. K. Davis left this noon for
a weeks visit with friends in Ashland
and Roseburg.

NEWS FROM ALBANY
COLONY AT LOMA, MONT.
C. W. Reed Writes to Democrat
Giving News of Interest to
Friends in This City.
Homcstcading is great, at least I
think so. I arrived at Loma the 2nd
of April and the 10th I started resi
dencc upon my claim. It was not long
before I had my house built and am
comfortably situated now. I have 20
acres in crops. Flax and oats will
have a good yield. We had an abun
dance of rain in June which gave the
crops a good start. It is surprising
to see how garden truck grows here.
I planted everything from apeanlit
to a sunflower and everything seems
to be doing nicely.
I expect to see fall wheat this fall
on my stubble.
I haven't seen any hardships to
speak of as some of the Orcgonians
predicted we would have to endure.
And I must not forget the wells. We
have several goad wells now and will
have more as soon as we get busy and
dig them.
Mr. Olin Stalnakcr has one 17 feet
deep and Mr. Laughcad has one 20
feet deep.
Work has been so rushing hi build
ing and farming this spring and sum
mer is the reason we haven't more
wells.
George Richard, Clarence Cox and
Chas. Works, all prosperous farmers;
from Oregon, are getting their bouses
finished up now. Mr. Zch, formerly i
from Albany, and worked for the
Singer sewing machine company is 1
enjoying homcsteadiug fine.
He has 15 acres broke and in flax, i
with prospects of a good crop.
MisB Dorris McClain, formerly em
ployed by S. E. Young & Son as book
keeper, is getting to be a prosperous
framcr too. She has 30 acre broke
up and in flax and oats.
Walter Easthurn has 25 or 30 acres
broke and in flax, oats and millet, and
is looking fienogbyshe.ayeara'.idwhich
is looking fine. lie is building his
new house now. j
Mr. Mitchell is still tilling the foil;
in Montana. He has 25 acres of the
prettiest wheat I have seen for some
time. The yield will be between 25
and 35 bushels to the acre. Some
crops of wheat on sod a year old will
go as high as 40 bushels to the acre.
Mr. Laughead has 50 acres plowed
and in flax and oats.
Everybody seems to be satisfied
and happy and seem to enjoy , thi-t
kind of a life. There has been quite
a number r-ttlc snakes killed thi'i sum
mer but they seem to be getting
scarce now.
A good many have their fcnciiiR
done now.
We have not had much bother with
tock running at large. We have the
bet of prospects of a good grain
country.

MiCAN DISTURBS
OAKVILLE NATIVES
Foreigner Attempts to Explain
Condition and Meaning Is
Misconstrued.
IT WAS THOUGHT THAT HE
HAD KILLED THREE MEN
Instead Three Highwaymen
Nearly Killed Him for the
Sum of $50.
With his head and arms covered
with cuts and bruises, a man who ap
pears to be a Greek, but who says he
is a Mexican, appeared at the home of
A. V. Smith near Oukville yesterday
and announced in brokcuEuglish that
he had killed three men. Later he
denied this story and so meager is
his supply of English that it has not
been ascertained just how he sustained
the wounds. Those who have talked
to the man say he does not appear to
be insane.
It is believed that the man might
have met with foul play at some lonely
spot near Oakville. as some interpre
ted the meagre explanation, that he
was accosted by three men who way
laid and robbed him. So limited is
his English no one can understand
what he says, but it is believed that
he has been employed with a section
gang on the railroad, leaving the job
after receiving his pay.
Sheriff Bodine went to the Smith
home and brought the stranger here
where he was confined in the county
jail over night. This morning he was
attended ,by the county phyisician.
When he told the story of the killing
the man said he had killed fhe men on
the railroad and this led to the belief
that a fight had occurred among the
foreign railroad laborers. Detailed in
vestigation this morning failed to sub
stantiate this belief and an effort will
be made to secure an interpreter to as
certain what incident befell the un
fortunate foreigner. He will be re
fo: ttirnte foreigner.
(Later) When an interpreer was
secured, it developed that the man
bad heen robbed of $50 by three
Americans near Eugene, according to
F'.itements madf by thf? foreigner,
and the fact develops that the people
near Oakville niisundcMtoivl the ex
planations of thf Mexican, Sheriff
Bodine released him ?dnrt1v before
noon and he left for Portland, whec
he will be employed a a laborer with
a cement concern, according to his
interpreter.

Edward Vicreck, foreman of the me
chanical department of the Democrat
office was taken sick Saturday after
noon and is now under the care of a
physician. He is threatened with an
attack of typhoid fever and it will
doubtless be several weeks before he
will be able to resume his duties.
ALBANY, THE INDUSTRIAL

That Albany, the industrial c enctfor
That Albany, the industrial center

home forcibly enough to W. L. Wright
early last Saturday morning. He, to

a meeting of that order at Albany. Af
ter its adjournment nt an early morn
ing hour the Wright auto, with its
owner at the wheel, beaded toward
home, bent on making record time.
Hut somehow the old landmarks with
in Albany's city limits were misleading
and street after street was negotiated
before, after nearly a half hour's
search, an outlet was found to the
