lily expected.
He had been a sick man for the
past yesr, but his great energy and
love for business activity has kept
his familiar face at the Cashier Z
desk ir the office of the First Ma
tional Bank most of the time.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Conser's Is
condition was such that he decided
to 60 to Portland for medical treat
ment in the hopes of regainhg his
health. From lhe best medical
advice that could be obtained, little
hopes were offered, and Mr.. Con-
ser's friends became alarmed at his
critical condition when fully real
lied.
Not getting any relief he decided
that he would rather be at home
among his friends than among
strangers, and came back to Hepp-
ner.

for day or SO, but rapidly grew
worse until death ended his suffer-
ing Tuesday morning.

county.
Coming to Heppner nineteen
years ago last October, Mr.. Conser
accepted position as Cashier of
the First National Bank of Hepp-
ner.
THIS position which was filled
with great success and credit was
still held by him at the time of his
death. /
During the Heppner food. Mr..
Conser aud his wife miraculously
escaped drowning, being carried
away in his beautiful home which
was dashed to pieces in the angry
waters.

brothers and two sisters survive

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,

on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

Second Trial of Young Pittsburg
Millionaire Ends in His
AcquittaI by Jury.
VERDICT CHEERED BY FRIENDS.
Close Of the Famous Case Which
Has Long Interested Two
Continents.

Harry Kendall Thaw is not guilty.
This was the verdict by the jury ac-
quitting the young Pittsburg million
aire OF the murder Of Stanford White,
the architect.
When the words mot Guilty" fell
from the lips OF the foreman of the
jury, the most dramatic scene ever wit
messed in a New York court room was
enacted. Thaw, who had sat all through
the trial, apparently wholly indlffer-
ent to what was going on, leaped from
his seat. He could not restrain his
emotions and tears streamed down his
cheeks as he shook the hands Of his
counsel and thanked them over and
over again.
The two trials Of Harry X. Thaw,
slayer Of Stanford White, the noted
architect, go down to history as two
of the most famous cases in the Grim
inal history Of the United States.
The prominence Of the Thaw family,
socially and financially, the circum-
Etances surrounding Harry Thaw's mar
riage to Evelyn Nesbit, artists model
and chorus girl, and the tragic climax
when he fired the bullets into the breast
of the man he declared wrOnged his
wife, all tended to attract great in
terest to the events following the ira
gedy, and from one end Of the coun-
try toNthc other the proceedings of both
trials. have been watched with unabat-
ed interest.
Comparison Of the two trials shows
a notable difference in the conduct Of
each. In the first trial Thaw's chief
counsel was Dolphin NJ. Delmas, noted

criminal lawyer from California. Del
mas made his defense the "unwritten
law" and insanity. District Attorney
Jerome introduced ut first only such
witnesses as were necessary to prove
that Thaw killed White.
The defense then urged that Thaw
was insane at the time of the killing,
and offered Evelyn Thaw's testimony
to show that the story she told Thaw
Of her treatment by White drove her
husband temporarily insane and caused
him to kill White. D
The defense also introduced the tes-
timony Of alienists, two Of whom swore
Thaw was suffering from a brain
storm when he fired the fatal shot.
Jerome during rebuttal caused a SEN
satlon by declaring he believed Thaw
was then insane. He got the court to
appoint a lunacy commission. This
body decided Thaw was sane, and the
trial then proceeded TO its conclusion,

MAY PLAY SEVEN
FOOTBALL GAMES
College Conference Athletic Associa'
ton Acts for the Big West
ern School.

Chicago, Jan .a6.-Only tentative pro
gress toward solving the athletic Stu
alton in the middle western colleges
was made at Saturdays session of the
College Conference Athletic associa-
ton. The proposition to allow seven
games of football instead of five each
season passed, but by so close a vote
that further action on it will be neces-
sary by the various faculties of the
nine institutions involved.
The status of the University of
Michigan was not determined definite
ly. Another action of importance was
the classifying of sports so that GER
tain rules will not apply to contestants
in golf, tennis and similar games. The
increased football schedule received
the approval of Michigan, Northwest
ern, Michigan, Iowa and Indiana, while
the Universities of Chicago. Illinois
Wisconsin and Purdue opposed it.
