Coming Out All Right,

Our Richard NJ. Hunt, who was arrest
ed and taken to Portland about six
weeks ago by deputy U. S. marshal
and a government detective, has made a
full confessiea and will come out all
right. After telling several conflicting
stories about his army service and
former life, he finally got down to
the truth. He acknowledged that
his name was not Hunt, that he
had assumed that name after deserting
from the regular army in 1866, He
gave as a reason for desertion the cruel
ty OF his captain, who had punished
him for some little infraction of discip-
line by having him tied up by the
thumbs.
He now confesses that his name is Ben
iamin Franklin Snyder. He enlisted in
the 18th Missouri regiment in 1864 and
was honorably discharged therefrom in
1865. He then enlisted in the reg
ulars and deserted as before stated. Be
cause of his desertion he assumed an
other name to avoid detection. He has
labored under the impression all these
years that he was liable at any time to
be arrested and punished for his deser-
tion from the regular army. Besides,
having served more than q year as a
volunteer in the civil war and been
honorably discharged, he did not want
it said about him that he was adeserter.
United States District Attorney Hall
of Portland took his confession and com
municated with the departmental at Wash
ington, when it was found that his rec
ord was straight as he had told it. 1t
was also found that Benjamin Franklin
Snyder had deserted from the regular
army and at the time stated. The dis
trict attorney says Snyder's case now
does not look so bad, and that he may
not be prosecuted further. We may ex-
pect Snyder home in a short time. If
Snyder had made application for 4
pension under his true name, he might
have been on the pension list years ago.
His old-sOldier friends will be glad to
learn that he is coming out all right
With them the fact that he was honor
ably discharged after serving over a year
in the civil war will cover multitude
of sins. He will be forgiven for the
many war stories lie filled us with Of
his service prior TO 1861.

Crapper Groupings.

You can hear the sleigh bells in all
parts of the valley now. Snow fell to
the depth of about six inches on Friday
last. The young people age making
good use of their sleighs while they can.
Several sleighing parties out Saturday
night met at the home of j. H. Shoe
maker and enjoyed themselves with a
dance until midnight, when all started
on their homeward trip, none the worse
for wear.

are talking of going to California soon
on pleasure trip, and if they like the
country they will probably stay few
months
Mr.. Strang has taken contract for

Of 25 acres Of land on the Jones place.
Mr. Blocher is figuring on ten acre
contract on the same place. Six months
ago this land was covered with
under brush and oak and pine timber
Dodge Bros. slashed 65 acres last fall
and grubbed out several acres of pine
and oak this winter. Mr.. Scroggins and
sons have also grubbed several acres on
this land, and there is large amount of
work to be done yet before the place is
in shape for fruit ranch as intended.
Being situated on the river bottom, it
is sheltered from the high winds and
will make fine fruit farm when gotten
in proper shape.
Rev. D. D. Dodge preached at the
Crapper school house Sunday. He will
preach at the same place the fourth Sun
day in each month hereafter.
E. E. Lyons is on the sick list.
