WHILE MARSHALL LOOKS ON.
II. c. cressweII Shot and Killed Frank
Natter.


Heppner, Ore, Nov. 12.-H. G.
Cresswell shot and killed Frank Nat
ter and received a bullet in the neck
from a source not now known.
Trouble had been brewing between
the two all the afternoon. > Early in
the evening Cresswell met Natter in
the Palace hotel and there a row start
ed. Cresswell had tended bar for Nat
ter at the Brewery saloon, of which
the latter was proprietor. Cresswell
accused Natter of discharging him.
Natter told him he had done nothing
of the kind, saying Cresswell had quit
for some unknown reason. Cresswell
turned to Dee Matlock and asked for a
gun, saying that he would soon put
Natter out of the way. Bystanders
stepped in and stopped the trouble.
About 9 o'clock Cresswell came into
Matlock's saloon and there met Nat
ter, who was talking with some
friends. The trouble was renewed and
Cresswell struck Natter over the
head knocking him to the floor and
cutting two bad gashes in his head.
Three Shots Go Home.
The marshall arrested Cresswell and
was informed by Natter that as soon
as he could go to the drug store and
have his head fixed up he would go
over to the city recorders Office and
swear to a charge against Cresswell.
Natter no sooner entered the office
than trouble began again Natter
struck Cresswell with his fist, knock
ing him to the floor. When the latter
got up he began shooting, the first
ball hitting Natter in the heart, the
second in the temple and a third in
the side.
Second Man Falls.
Cresswell was shot through the
neck, but by whom no one seems to
know, not even City Marshall John
Rasmus nor Recorder Walter Richard
son.
Not a shot was fired by Natter. He
had gun, but all six shells were
found in the weapon.
Dee Matlock followed Natter to the
recorders office, and when the mar
shall and recorder tried to stop the
trouble Matlock pulled a gun, telling
them to stand back or he would shoot
Cresswell of late has been drinking
heavily He has a family and is an
old resident of this county, owning
some land and cattle.
Leaves Bride of Three Months.
Frank Natter grew up in Heppner.
His aged parents survive, also young
wife. They had been married but
three months. He was a young man
with many friends.
Matlock is under arrest. CresswelIs
wound is not serious.

STAYS WHOLE FAMILY.
Victims Are Shot Before the Torch Is
Applied.


Applied.
Auburn Gait is now known that
julius Weber, his wife, their 10 year
old daughter Bertha and their son
Paul, aged IA years, were murdered
by an unknown assassin, who set fire
to the home in an effort to cover up
his crime. Before the fire had made
any great Roadway the bodies of the
mother and two children were rescued
from the burning house. Mrs. Weber
and her boy were still alive, but died
almost as soon as they reached the air.
An examination of the bodies show
ed that Mrs. Weber and the children
had been murdered before the fire had
been started. The daughter had been
killed by a pistol wound, as had Mrs.
Weber On the boys head were sew
eral deep cuts. He had also been
shot. All efforts to reach julius Web
err, the father, who was also thought
to be in the burning house, were aban-
doned until today when a search was
made in the embers, and his body was
found in the bathroom. He, too, had
been shot down before being left to
be consumed by the flames.
Later Report.
Auburn, Cal.-Adolph Weber has
been placed under arrest charged with
the murder of his father, mother, sis
ter and young brother Thursday
night and with having set the house
on fire afterwards to conceal the
crime. Weber took his arrest coolly
but was alive to what he considered
to be his legal rights. The arrest took
place Immediately after he left the
witness stand and after he had rather
reluctantly answered the questions
propounded to him by Coroner Shep
ard, the district attorney and severa
of the jurymen.

AMERICAN CHILDREN.

American mothers know in the range
Of their gentle appreciation just where
to find and emphasize the gayety.
daintiness, the sweet helplessness of
very littlehood. A great deal of the
inner truth of things may reside in the
arrangement of curls and sashes; the
most beautiful intuition may be be-
trayed in the cut of pinafore. Even
the much criticised precociousness of
American children reflects in some de-
gree their excellent understanding
with their mothers. There is no doubt
an extraordinary stimulus in being met
more than half way from the very
first day of life; it must wonderfully
help to an early basis of general I'M
derstanding with the world Other
factors may contribute less desirably
to the quick development Of American
children but this one cannot fail to
be there.-Mrs. Everard CoteS, in Good
Housekeeping.

GOWN FOR BRIDES MOTHER.

A handsome gown for the brides
mother to wear at the wedding of
her daughter may be fashioned of soft
gray silk or voile, trimmed with rich
lace of a deep cream color, vest and
lingerie sleeves Of white chiffon, trim
mings OF cut steel beads and touches Of
violet and black embroidery on the
bodice. Or the embroidery may be OF
black and white.
The stylish toQue or bonnet should
be of black or tulle, the edge and
crown embroidered in steel and jet,
black and white ostrich pompon and
aigrette of paradise plumes.
If preferred the gown may be of
black ring dotted net embroidered with
jets and worn over q lining of white
silk, preferably peau de sole. The toque
may be of black and white tulle, jet
ornaments, black and white tips.
Delicate heliotrope silk, wolfe or one
Of the new crepes with trimmings of
Venice lace dyed to match, cream
white chiffon and inserted motifs of
heliotrope, cream, gold and black are
the other combinations suggested
which would be entirely suitable.
While the latest fashion demands
horizontal trimmings a woman inclined
to embonpoint will eschew this mode
and insist largely upon vertical lines.
A skirt with q narrow front panel
with. side and back cores pleated at
the top will be becoming. Outline the
front panel and foot OF skirt with
band of trimming, and the drop
shoulder yoke and narrow vest to
match, or, with set-in lace. Have a
narrow crush girdle carefully boned
and closely fitted.

HEALTH FADs ON THE BRAIN.

HEALTH FADS ON THE BRAIN.
TO get all sorts of health fads on the
brain is a disease in itself. 1t is Il
very prevalent disease, too. With Il
few foolish rules to observe, whole
lot of hygienic quirks to adjust to and
schedule of superstitioUs sanitary
notions diligently followed by day ana
dreamed of by night is q malady which
begins as a mental arrangement and
ends in complete physical fizzle
No room left for a spontaneous life,
no place for free, joyous liberty. Not
minutes space for rollicking disre-
gard. Everything fixed every minute
disposed Of introspections without
number. Forebodings, misgivings,
lowering vaguely about the mind like
fiocks of carrion crows.
Such life is not worth living One
might a thousand times better so back
to the reckless regime Of rough
rider.-Medical Talk.

STYLES IN STATIONERY.

The tendency in stationery for spring
what are known as regular shapes.
The envelope is long, with a long flap
and the paper is wide and folds once
across the centre. In small note paper
the same shape is preserved.
In new tints pale gray is all the
rage, with light blue as close second.
Indeed. some contend that as much
grayish blue paper is sold as gray
and the fashionable gray has blue
cast Lavender, or gray paper with 4
lavender cast, is entirely out of use
among exclusive people.
The sticklers for correct stationery
avoid any of the extremes in styles.
To be fashioned in their choice of
new stationery is their fad, so they go
in for linen lawn and organdy in the
popular colors.
The monogram and address are
stamped upon the top of the sheet and
no longer appear upon the flap of the
envelope. The monogram and letter
ing are small and refined and there is
no effect at display.
A marked fancy is also beins shown
for what are known as handkerchefs
Or hemstitched borders on stationery
Young girls are fond OF these and
also of long, narrow and large square
gray and white paper.
