A. P. Duncan has bought from Indian
Louie the bay racer known as "Hiacclal
awa." He lias deeded to the horse a
front stall in the big livery bam where he
bed him down witli the soft, fluffy feath
ers of the Harney valley sagehen. "Hlac
clatawa" wears a pale blue silk smoking
jacket during the day time, and when the
chilly air of night begins to fall he is robed
in a beautiful white blanket imported from
Germany expressly for the purpose. The
only trouble with the horse is he continues
to pine for the camas lops and mahogany
browse of his coalthood days. Harney

Unkind Comment on Our Ball Ganui.
Sumpter and Haker City c.vi play base
ball nearly as badly as lleppuer can. In
their last game at Haker City a week
ago, which attracted an immense, en
thusiastic crowd, the score stood 31 to 28
In favor ol Maker City. 'I his reminds
us ol the ntness of the remaik made by
an old resident ot this place during a
game last spring. He said: "You youne
buggers can't play ball. Why, when I
was a boy we used to get as high as 40
and so runs In .1 game; now you fellows
get only 5 or 10." Heppuer 'limes.
