Stole THE REST TEAM.

= a
a Livery Stable Man in La Grande
z rs trea suffers.
Z A few days since Mr.. Haynes, com
mercial traveller, was in La Grande on
business, and called upon stable keeper
for his best team to make a short excur-
sion into the valley. The stableman
told him his best team was out, and
that he was somewhat anxious about it,
as the team should have been in day
or two before, and he began to think the
driver of it had skipped. Mr.. Haynes
asked if he knew the man who had the
team, and the reply was to the effect
that it was Hitler, representative of
the Brunswick Blake Coilander COM.
pany. ..Oh," said Mr.. Haynes, ':if Hil-
Ter has your team you are all right
This seemed. to please the stableman,
and no more concern was felt about the
probable loss of the team. but visions of
a good fat fee fitted across his. mind.
When Mr.. HAYNES returned. the best
team was still out. Haynes took the
next train for Pendleton, and the first
man he met at the hotel there yesterday
morning was Hitler. He said to. him:
What are, you keeping that La ,Grandel
team so long for?" GIVE had no La
Grande team" replied Hitler, and after
d short talk it was decided that
the, team had been taken out by a
thief, personating@ Hitler. As Mr..
Haynes had. by his conversation, as
sured the stableman at La Grande, he
felt it his duty to inform the latter of
existing circumstances and wired to
him that Hitler was in Pendleton, and
had had no team. This dispatch was
evidently misunderstood, as quickly
following Its receipt at La .Grande, came
another to the sheriff of Umatilla county
to t.arrest Hitler" 'srefer to Haynes"
BY this time probably the La Grande
stable man has realized the full force of
his first. impressions. Mr.. HAYNES
reached The Dalles last evening, and
was seen by "a representative of THE
CHRONICLE, atathe Umatilla house. He
says the fellow who took the team intro
duced himself to the stableInan by pre-
senting Mr.. Hiller's card, and has prob
ably driven over into the Harney
country, disposed of the team somewh here
and skipped out. s,E 5As's
