Investigating.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-Evidence of a
probable murder came to light yes
terday when the body of James Flick,
a former conductor on the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad, fiOated over
the bear-trap dam of the drainage
canal at LockpOrt. The railroad com
pany has spent thousands Of dollars
in the search for Flick, who disap-
peared two months ago, and if the in
quest which the coroner of VIII coun-
ty fails to explain the puzzling cir
cumstances of the case the railroad
will carry their investigation
further.

Arose 2S Miles Away.

The body came to the surface 2s
miles from the neighbOrhoOd where
Flick disappeared. An examination
revealed a long cash over the left eye.
\ front tooth had been broken off,
the uniform coat removed and most
of the money which Elick is known
to have had in his possession taken
from the pockets. These circum-
stances have led the railroad officials
TO believe that Flick was struck down
and robbed and that his body was
then thrown into the canal by his as
SailantS.

1t is thought that the crime was
committed as the stock train of which
Flick was in charge was approaching
the siX-track bridge near Campbell
avenue. Flick was seen to leave the
caboose, but when the cars were
stopped at Campbell avenue he could
not be found. So mysterious were
the features of the case that the com
pany offered a reward of $500 for the
recovery of EHck's body. His home
was in West Chicago.

Another Fglooded Dog.

Frank Roberts has received a
fine imported English setter which
came to him from South Dakota.
He has never felt satisfied since
losing a valuable dog of the same
breed some time ago with an at
tack of distemper, and was not to
be consoled until making his pres
ent acquisition. The animal is an
unusually fine specimen of dis
breed, and Mr.. Roberts
canine possession is the envy of
his friends. Many fine dogs are to
be observed in Heppner and vicin-
ity, among them several pure
strains of the Ayrdale, staghound,
Collie, St. Charles spaniel, etc.

IN FAVOR OF STANLEY.
Long Controversy Over Property
Ownership Decided.

The case of II f. Warren vs.. A. B
Stanley, which has been in the conr.s
tor long tim4, and which has been
the source of much controversy and
comment in Heppner, was decided yes
terday by Judge Ellis in favor of the
defendant, A. B. S'anley.
The case is rather peculiar one and
the questions were cose'y drawn. The
fact that the property was in Heppne7
has made II prominent here.
Mr.. Warren who was formerly resi-.
dent Of Heppner and who is now a
prominent merchant of Morrow county,
located at Hardman, owned fine resi-.
dence property Lere. He claimed that
short time prior to The Heppner food
of June II, 1903, he sold this property
to A. B. Stanley, who was then a resi-
dent of Hardman. While there were
no papers 10 prove the transaction, Mr..
Warren held that there was verbal
contract and that Mr.. Stanley had taken
pos session before the flood.
When the flood came the water swept
the lot taking the house and everything
away.
MIR Stanley in his defense denied the
existence of any contract whatever and
resisted the suit for the specific per
formance OF contract, as instituted by
Mr.. Warren. The amount involved was
$500 Redfe'd & Van Vactor were the
attorneys r Mr.. Stanley, and G. w.
Phelps appeared for the plaintiff.
One reason for so much interest being
taken in the case just decided was the
fact that the Warren house was the
cause of considerable annoyance to the
city council OF Heppner as well as to
property owners on Court street. After
being washed from the lot on which it
stood, the building lodged in the street,
and numerous petitions were presented
to the council asking for the removal of
the building. Neither Mr.. Warren nor
Mr.. Stanley would do anything about
moving the house, as neither would

county this Fall and all horses bad,

Nearly Lost His Life.

Raymond, the 1O-year-old son of
Thos. Marlatte, narrowly escaped
death Sunday by being dragged
by a horse, his foot having become
caught in the stirrup. He was
dragged about 100 yards, part of
the way over rocks. His worst in
jurio5 were about the face and
head. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition 4 taken
to the home Of j. T. Kirk. A
physician was summoned who
dressed the wounds and later in
the afternoon he was removed to
bis home near town. The lad is
now on the Wav to complete recoy-
cry, but the shock was so severe he
has no recollection of events imme-
diately preceding the accident. He
does not remember trying to mount
the animal, and does not know how
he happened to be thrown. In all
cases where horse is suspected to
be the least bit unreliable it is
better for the stirrup to be pro-
tected with leather taps, to keep
the foot from slipping far into it.
The lack of such precaution has
been responsible for the loss Of
many young lives.

NANCY HORSES KILLED.
Sheriff Shut Kills Four Head Oh
the Range.

Sheriff Shut shot four head of horses
afflicted with the mango, last Saturday.
The diseased horses have been ranging
near Heppner for some time and many
complaints have been coming in for
fear of further spread of this contagious
disease among the bor' es of this section.
After serious complaint bad been made
several times, Sheriff Shut who did not
desire 10 be hasty in taking action, tele-
phoned to DR.. VIM. Mclean, the State
Veterinarian for instructions as to the
method of procedure. The State Vet
erinaran Immediately deputized Sheriff
Shut with instructions to kill the dis
eased animals.
Owing to the prevalence OF this dis
ease in Morrow county, and the lack OF
attention of the owners in trying to get
rjd of the contagion, the State Veterin.
arian has decided to enforce decisive
action in order to stamp out.the disease,
even if it is necessary to kill all of the
animals afflicted, which he has right
to 90 under the law.
A number Of the horse owners who
have NANCY horses have been dipping
and are endeavoring to cure their horses.
but the greatest source of trouble comes
from the Indians. The Indians who
own large numbers of cayuses along the
Columbia river, and most of them are
afflicted with the mango, have been
warned that they must treat heir horses
or suffer the loss of having them killed.
and after several of the Indian horses
were killed against earnest protest by
the Siwashes, it was thought that the
Indians wouId take some action in try
ing to get rid of the disease.
The Siwashes who usually take things
pretty easy, have not been doing anv.
thing. Another bad feature is that the
Indians who make frequent trips from
the river to the Blue mountains. are
very likely TO spread the disease. The
State Veterinarian will come to Morrow

New York, Nov 4.-The Central of
Georgia Railway, it is said, intends to
adopt the policy of disclosing the true
earnings of the company, instead of
diverting large part of the income
toward improving the property of the
road, and thus avoiding the payment
of interest on the income bonds.
The result of this change in policy
is said to be directly responsible for
the movement in Central of Georgia
Income bonds, which began at the
time the interest was declared on the
second incomes last spring and which
has carried these bonds up from 65%,
% and is to 80, 81 and 81, respectively,
for first, second and third incomes.
The movement is undoubtedly the
result of accumulation based on the

NO SUBPOENAS
FROM GRAND JURY
MINISTER FURNISHED NAMES.
REV. w. A. NISBET WANTED AL
LEGED WITNESSES SUMMONED.

Complained of Gaming Houses,
sunday Liquor Selling and Desc
Grafton of the Sabbath-Gave
"a Number of Names of Persons Al
legged to BE Able to Give Evidence.
Grand Jury Invited the Minister to
Appear with witnesses.
Alleged gaming houses, Sunday IL
quor selling and the dissertation of the
Sabbath, were all complained about by
Rev. w. A. Nisbet. pastor of West
minister Presbyterian Church, and
president of the Ministerial Associa-
ton, in letter read to the grand Jury
yesterday.
Not only did Mr.. Nisbet repeat the
Sunday dissertation charges made in
the summer, but it is said. he went
into the alleged violations of the gam
ing laws, and the alleged selling of
liquor on Sunday.
Besides charging that these things
are going on in Savannah, Mr.. Nisbet
furnished the names Of number of
persons whom he claimed would be
able to furnish the grand jury with
sufficient evidence to warrant the re-
turning of indictments.
May Summon witnesses.
The grand jury has not yet decided to
issue subpoenas for the persons named
by Mr.. Nisbet. 1t was agreed, how
ever, that communication be sent Mr..
Nisbet. inviting him to appear with
such witnesses as he might bring.
This means that Mr.. Nisbet will
probably appear before the grand jury
next Friday. Mr.. Nisbet has been
confined to his home with malarial
fever for three weeks. He was seen
after the meeting of the grand jury,
but would not go into discussion of
his letter, or the action of the jury in
failing to subpoena the persons whose
names he furnished.
He said he had purposely RETAINED
from making any statement in connec-
ton with the matter, and still desired
to keep his own counsel, until he had
ascertained just what disposition the
grand jury had made of the letter. He
said he would wait reasonable length
of time before making any statement
at all, unless he were officially advised
as to what the grand jury had done.
MIR. Nisbet NOn-COmmittaI.
When asked if he thought it would
be possible to get witnesses to volun-
teer to testify before the grand jury
he declined to answer, but fntimated
that if the grand jury failed to sub
pOena witnesses it would also fail to
find indictments in the face of any evil
dence. IF they are wrong at one cor
ner they will be wrong at the other"
Mr.. Nisbet said.
According to Mr.. Nisbet, the letter
which he handed to the foreman of
the grand jury was identically the
same as one presented in the summer
to the grand jury on the subject of the
alleged dissertation of the Sabbath,
with the exception of an addenda,
which he would not discuss. 1t is un-
derstood this is in regard to alleged
open saloons on Sunday and alleged
gaming houses.

company. This accumulation, in a
market extremely narrow, has easily
forced up the price.
The facts, so far as can be ascer-
tanned, relate to dividend prospects
alone. Rumors that the bonds are to
be retired find no confirmation in New
York. If earned, dividends must be
paid, and the indications are in ia
vor of the dividends being earned in
this fiscal year. This is stated to be
the basis of the road, which accord
ing to the latest reports, is now in a
position to pay the full interest on the
first, second and third income bonds.
