AWNING SAVES
MANS LIFE.
Canvas Breaks Fall From
Third Story Window.

Attorney C. E. Woodson's neg
lect in raising his awning last
night probably saved a mans
life. The details leading up to
the climax of the story are hard
to get hold Of, as no one seems
able to tell how it happened, but
the condition of Mr.. Woodson's S
awning this morning and the
fact that one Dan Sullivan is con-
fined to his room with a broken
arm and a black eye offer proof
of the fact that man and awning
came together very suddenly.
Sullivan, who has been working
for James Doherty, had been
drinking with friends and had
become somewhat hilarious.
Occupants of other rooms in the
hotel testify that a noise resemb-
ling a fight or wrestling match
took place at a late hour and it
was shortly after this fuss was
over that Sullivan took the para
chute jump. 1t is thought that
the man was seated in the win
dow to cool off after the violent
exercise, and falling asleep
while seated there fell to the
street below, the awning break
ing the fall sufficiently to protect
him from further injury than
that stated above.

Obstruct Public Highway.

The Telling of trees and rolling logs

pnse of retarding travel along the

concluded that about as good way
as any to pass the time on Sunday
would be to cause some trouble and
| inconvenience to others. So saying
they got busy with axes and proceeded
to obstruct the roadway with trees and
logs to the extent that automobiles
and .Dther vehicles found it very diff
fcult to get in and out of the noun
taina. In fact, the glass shield on
one machine was broken, entailing
loss to the owner something like $40.
There we're several outfits of pleasure
seekers in the mountains that day and
had 1t not been that some were warned
of the distractions and most of them

ience to make them highly indignant
at such mischief and there are none
out would like to see the miscreants
given enough taste of the law to warn
them against repitition of such con-
duct
The law provides for severe pun
ishment for just such conduct as this
and even the minimum fine or impris-
onment imposed at this time would
prove rather expensive fun for one
day. The section of the statue re-
earding the obstruction of public high
wavs calls for fine of not less than
s25 and not more than $500. or impris-
oument in the county Jail for not less
than one month nor more than six
months. Those contemplating little
fun along this line had better think
twice before they jump unless they
have more time and money at their
disposal than they know what to do
with. The law should provide for
road work in such cases as this and pei
haps the perpetrators of such jokes
would have less desire for molesting
the pulic highways.

GONG LANE
LOSES VALUABLES.
Girl Ordered to:Leave Town,
Takes Chinamans watch
and Silks.

Gong Lane, proprietor of the
Elkhorn Restaurant is in trouble
again. In fact, his troubles have
been so many of late that he is
about the busiest man in town.
Following the fracas of last
Thursday evening in which Lane
violated the peace ordinance by
firing a revolver at a couple of
callers and was fined for the act,
the authorities deemed it wise to
remove the cause of these small
riots and thereby alleviate some
of theChinaman's diffiulties. Ac-
cordingly, Deputy Sheriff Rasmus
and Marshal Smith called at the
restaurant Monday evening and
asked to see the Walker girl, who
bears an unsavory reputation and
who has been the source of more
or less trouble to the police for
some time, and informed that per-
son that her presence in Heppner
was no longer desired and that
| if she wished to avoid serious
trouble she had better pack her
grip and hike. To this friendly
bit of advice both themaiden and
the chink demurred at first, but
after further urging by the off
cials it was agreed that she leave
town at once. At this stage of
the game Marshal Smith was
called to the street and in his alb
sence Lane confded to Deputy
Rasmus that he did not want the
girl to leave town as he intended
to marry her inside of two weeks.
Nevertheless Miss Walker pre-
pared to leave town and while
packing her own things into
grip took the pains to include
Lanes watch and some fine Chi
nese silks in her wardrobe.
Everything passed along quietly
until shortly after the train had
left when Lane made the discov-
cry that his valuables were gone.
He Immediately called upon the
sheriff's office for help. He was
advised to place the matter in the
hands of the authorities at Airing
ton, or to send an officer from
here, but neither proposition ap-
pealed to him and he finally de-
cided to take the matter in his
own hands. He hired Albert
Bowker to take him to Arlington
with the intention of apprehend-
ing his lady-love at that point and
recovering his valuables. Mr..
Bowker delivered him at Airing
ton where he took the Spokane
train for The Dalles. SO far no
word has been received here re-
garding his success. The train
men on the Heppner branch are
of the opinion that the girl went
East from Heppner Junction; if
so, Lane may have a long chase
on his hands. 1t is evident from
the expression on the street and
elsewhere that if both of them
keep travelling until they get
a good long distance from Hepp-
ner and never come back they
will not be missed here.

the big guns was three actual hits.
The six inch batteries made ten hits
from fifteen shots. The motar practice
was very interesting. These strange
guns are hidden behind the batteries
and instead of raising and firing d.
reotly at the object, they shoot in the
air with the intention of dropping the
projeotile into the snemy's camp.
Out of eight or nine trials the motars
made three or four hits. The cost of
one days practice is estimated at
$50, 600. The target practice took
place on the 9th and on the 9Th Mr..
Barratt and son visited the navy yard
at Bremerton. There they saw thir-
teen of Uncle Sans fighting craft,
some in dry dock, others just recently
repaired and still others lying idle in
the harbor awaiting orders to move
to some other point. Among these
vessels was the Oregon. Mr.. Barratt
is highly elated with what he saw and
feels that one is we'll repaid for the
trip. Target practice is not INDUCED
in very frequently but when they have
one it is something wo;th while.

food the worst thing you can do is
TO take a lot of digestive medicines.
True, they give temporary relief, but
your stomach is the sufferer Loss
of appetite, indigestion, dyspepsia and
headaches can only be permenanely
relieved by removing the cause. In
many cases, various remedies taken
to relieve these conditions result in
running the stomach and preventing
it from digesting food in a natural
way.
II you want your stomach to do its
own work properly. without restorting
to artificial digestives or predigested
foods, use Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge.
Take small doses regularly, prefer
ably before meals. In a little time
your stomach will again do its own
work and you will eat heartily, keep
we'll and enjoy living. Jayne's Ton
ic Vermifuge is not digester in it
self, but it tones up the stomach and
intestines, giving you all the nutri-
ment and strength from the food you
eat

tion are the result of intestinal para
sites, for which Jaynes Tonic Vermi-
! fuge is unsurpassed Insist on Jaynes

Monday and Tuesdays program
contains some unusually strong dra-
mas and laugh making comedies.
Hunted Down. Bison. This
drama which swings around a detec-
tive's pursuit of a criminal and his
accomplice. woman, has a sensa-
tional opening in the east. The Grim
inals make a getaway, go west and
become cowboys. The detectives re-
lentless pursuit, as we'll as the clever
ruse employed to capture the guilty
ones, holds the attention closely.
"A Tragic Wedding" Milano. An
emotional drama with a sensational
climax, wherein an automobile is
driven over a cliff and badly smash
ed. Many pretty scenes and also a
glimpse of a fashionable wedding will
please.
"The skeleton" Powers. Featur-
ing Matty and Early, the popular
Powers kids. They found a skeleton
and the way in which they used it
to frighten their elders, including a
hobo, negro stealing chickens and
drunken fisherman, will cause
shouts of laughter.
The Convict's Return" Gem. The
convict in this pleasing drama makes
