FOR STEALING WHEAT.
Bert DeFOrd Plead Guilty and was
Fined OH Two Charges.

Bert DeFord was arrested in this city
Thursday morning by Sheriff Shut,
charged with stealing wheat from Jake
Young and Case Fuqua, of Eight Mile.
DeFord was arrested upon informa-
ton 'phoned in by G. +. Jones, wi o
stated that wagon tracks from where
the wheat was taken lead toward Hepp-
ner.
Upon getting this Information Sheriff
Shut Immediately went to work on the
case. He went to the different ware
houses and found that DeFord had been
to the Heppner FIGURING Mills and had
sold wheat amounting to $3.50.
DeFord remarked when he sold the
wheat, that this cleaned him out, being
the last of his crop.
DeFord who lives in the mountains
beyond Hardman, does not grow any
wheat, and his actions led the sheriff to
believe that he was the guilty man.
When arrested, DeFord collapsed and
almost tainted.
He was given a hearing Saturday
morning before Justice j. p. Williams,
and pleading guilty to petty larceny,
was fined $50 each on two charges, and
in default of payment was committed to
the county Jail.
DeFord had driven from his mountain
home beyond Hardman Wednesday and
getting into the Eight Mile country after
dark had gone to Jake Young's place
and taking few sacks of wheat had
driven to Case Fuquas and there took
small amount, thinking that few
sacks from each place would not be
missed.

near Hardman, Friday, February p,
aged 76 years.
The funeral was conducted at the l.
0. O. F. cemetery near Hardman, by
the Odd Fellows, of which order he was
an Lonored member, Sunday. People
from all over the county were there to

of the largest funerals ever held in Nor
fOw county.
Benjamin Parker was one of the early

locating south of Hardman about 80
years ago. Mr.. Parker formed a partne-
ship with Peter Gleason who came to
this country with him and they started
a sawmill soon after arriving here.

the death of Mr.. Gleason, little over
year ago.
In the death of Benia amin Parker,
Morrow county losses philanthropist,

as lasting monument to his memory.
No worthy applicant for aid was ever
turned from the door OF Uncle Ben
Parker. He was one of the landmarks
of the country, to which we can point
to with pride, for his model life was an
example worthy of praise.
In 1899 Mr.. Parker was married to
