BROKE UP FAMILY.
North Yakima Man Cruelty Rewarded
for Kindness.

A North Yakima dispatch says
For base ingratitude. the authorities
believe that C. II. Brace who is await
ing trial for forgery, is entitled to the
palm. He has lain in Jail since last
December, his trail being carried over
several terms.
Brace came here from Walla Walla
where he had been giving aid and em-
ployment by j.. Wingard at his store
Mr., Wingard took an interest in Brace
and did ell in his power to advance
his interests. He took him into his
family and he became as one of them.
When Brace left Walla Walla Mrs.
Wingard came with him to North
Yakima. He had been here but n
short time when he was arrested for
passing forged check on Ford's sa-
loon
Since his Imprisonment Wingard has
visited him in the county iail and
sought to learn the whereabouts of his
9-year-old daughter, which informa-
tion Brace declined to give.
Mrs Wingard is now at Milton, Or.
and writes Brace that she intends to
come here for his trial and sit near
him. She says that she will be pre-
pared to marry him October 10.

MORROW COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
Compiled From the Heppner Times
and Gazette.

Mr. Maxwell. of Walla Walla, who
is establishing n creamery at Lexing-
ton, was up to the city the first of
terprise. We welcome these new in
dustries to Morrow county.
The able corps of teachers of the
Heppner schools have been reelected
TO the same positions for next year.
So far none have resigned. The pat
rons of the school are well pleased
with the action of the board of direc-
tors in this matter.
Mr.. Turner, a half-brothcr of G. w.
Turner, of Portland, died at the Hepp-
ner Sanatorium last Thursday of rheu-
matism and heart trouble. He was
brought up from Lexington on Satur-
day before his death. He was about
so years of age at the time of death.
His remains We're buried in the Hepp-
ner cemetery.
Sheepmen have suffered losses from
the storm. The long cold rain coming
as It did so soon after shearing caus-
ed sheep to chill and heavy losses
have been reported from several
bands. At this writing the reports
have not been confirmed and hope is
entertained that the losses are not as
great as has been reported
Mrs. John l.. Ayers, of this city, died
at Newport. Ore. where she had gone
the latter part of this week for the
benefit of her health. She died Tues
day morning at the age of 40 years.
Mrs. Ayers was the wife of John L.
Ayers. who lost his life in the flood
here three years ago. She was a very
kind mother and was highly respect
ed by all of her acquaintances. She
leaves one son and two daughters, one
daughter and her son reside with their
mother. The oldest daughter was mar
riej about a year ago to Percy
Hughes and resides at Ritter in
Grant county. Mrs. Ayers has been
in poor health for several years and
her death was not a surprise to her
friends.
Although we have not learned the
definite arrangements for the fune-
raj, the remains will be brought here
for interment, which will probably be
made today.
