One Christmas Eve

He was grinning liz schoolboy
at the gyrations of d mechanical
clown. His bluff hearty laugh seemed
to come straight from his heart. His
long white whiskers, bearskin coat,
merry eyes and full-round figure
suggested the veritable Kris Kringle
to T.
Men, women and children were all
smiles as they looked him over, but
too polite to linger and embarrass
him. The proprietor of the store, OBJ
serving the slight halt in the passing
procession, beckoned to the stranger

Directed by a lad from the store
he was piloted to the Moody mInsion
admitted and shown into q room of
the main parlor, where a Christmas
tree stood, loaded and ablaze.
All around it the hired Sanity gazed
keenly, almost eagerly. He appeared
to be scanning the various framed por
traits on the wall and seemed disap
pointed, as If in that inspection he
missed something he had expected tc
find.
A servant came and helped him or
with his costume, directing him In
what he should do when the children
: entered the festal room. An admir-
able Sanity he made. He went through
his part in a merry heartsome way
then quietly slipped out through
the side door and proceeded down the
street. He seemed to have been over
the ground before, for he reached his
destination by pursuing lanes and by
ways where he would not be observed
In the costume he still retained.

Sheriff MilWee writes About Tax Paying--Which Closes
 Next Monday

The following personal letter is self explanatory;
 Wish you would write a little ''squib" telling the people that read your paper that all those that have written to the Tax Collector in regard to their taxes, or that have sent in remittances and have made efforts otherwise to pay their taxes, and have not yet received reply to their in- quiries or received their tax re- ceipts as the case may be that failure to reply to them from this cffice has been caused by the usual if not unprecedented rush of tax taxpayers during the closir g days of tax collecting. All parties that have made an effort to pay will hear from us in due time, and no penalty will be attached because of failure on my part, we are working night and day just TOW and still find it impossible to reply to all inquiries but all will receive attention in due time and at the earliest possible IT. oment."
 Yours truly,
 R. F. Milwee

Holly Or eve Man "In Fad
 Tn Brinkley

In Justice H. c. Strong's court on Wednesday Tom P. Bomar. of Holly Grove, was bound over on charge of forgery, to await the action of the Grand Jury.
 It seems that Bomar, who is indulging in the luxury of journalism at the enterprising city of Holly Grove, was in Brinkley some several weeks ago and had Dr. M. R. Stimson, the dentist. cash check on the Home Bank of Dewitt for S1O.25. Dr. Stimson knew Bomar, or at least thought he did. The check proved to be forged on Bomar's father, who would not make it good. Deputy Sheriff Bruce Franks arrested Bomar and brought him here for trial.
 It appears that Bomar has been fortunate at Holly and it is re- ported that he was nominated there recently as Justice of Peace. He didn't appear to worry much when he was put in the Brinkley jail over night for safe keeping.

 This should be hint to girls who have friends marrying during the holi day season. If embroidery is beyond the donors skill, tiny spray of orange blossom tied with silver cord might decorate the top, or the initial of the bride could be placed ther-

.CHAS. GROGAN DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS

Chas. Grogan, age 3S, passed away
at his home in this city last Thursday
night, the cause of death being tubeT-
culosis. Mr. Grogan had suffered
almost continually with this dread
disease for the past 16 months but
all care and attention given him was
of no consequence, his condition
steadily growing worse the last few
months, when all hopes for his re-
covery were given up. He leaves a
wife one son and daughter.
The funeral was held on Friday
afternoon. Rev Turner B. Mcdonald
of the First Christian church con-
ducting the services. Interment
was made in the Maconic cemetery.
Chas. Grogan was a native of Illi-
nois. For several years he was a
resident of Missouri, where he work
ed in lead mine. 1t is believed
that while working in these mines
that he contracted the disease which
finally lead to his untimely demise.
When the break with Spain was de-
clared, Mr.. Grogan enlisted with the
Kansas volunteers and saw active
service in the Spanish-American war.
He came to Oregon a little more than
two years ago with his family and
they have lived in Heppner most OF
that time.
His untimely departure from this
world is regretted by his many
friends, and the heartfelt sympathy
of the community goes out to the sor-
rowing wife and her two children.
