MASONIC ORDERS GIVE
| FAREWELL To. MEMBERS

The Masonic orders of Heppner
consisting of Heppner Lodge No. 6s
A. F. & A. NJ, Heppner Chapter No
16, R. A. M, and Ruth Chapter No,
80, o. E. s., gathered at Masonic
hall on Wednesday evening for the
purpose of rendering farewell re-
ception to Mr.. and Mrs. C. c. Patter-
son and Mrs. A. L. Binns. These peo-
pie, who have been members Of these
orders for many years, are leaving
Heppner, the Pattersons going to
Portland, and Mrs Binns, with her
family, going to Corvallis.
A program BETTING the occasion
was rendered. This consisted Of sing
ing and instrumental music by Miss
Gladys Lane and the Misses Mary
Clark and Velma Case. Miss Lane
sang beautifully, her selections CIV
ing evidence of the splendid training
she has had during the past year
while attending the U. Of o., and she
graciously responded to hearty encor-
es. During the banquet hour the
Misses Clark and Case entertained
with a number of duets on the piano.
Hon. c. E. Woodson had charge OF
the presentation ceremonies, and in
very appropriate speech, in which
he gave some interesting Masonic his
tory as we'll as expressing the high
esteem in which the departing mem
bers are held by their brothers and
sisters, he presented to Mr.. Patterson
gold keystone, the gift of the Hepp-
ner Chapter r. A. NJ. and the Blue
Lodge; to Mrs. Patterson beauti-
full silver cream ladle and to Mrs.
Binns, an engraved fountain pen.
These tokens being given, not be-
cause of their intrinsic value, as Mr.
Woodson expressed it, but that the
recipients might carry with them
something of the high esteem in
which their associates in the orders
hold them. Both Mrs. Binns and
Mrs. Patterson are Past Matrons OF
Ruth Chapter, and they have been
faithful and earnest members. Mr.
Patterson is a Past Master of Hepp-
ner Lodge No. So, and has also held
important Offices in Heppner Chapter
R. A. NJ. and always took a great
amount of interest in these two
lodges and was faithful attendant
so long as he was physically able tc
attend.
Following the presentation and
musical program, the members pre-
sent repaired to the dining hall where
they were served an abundant supply
Of ice cream and cake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Binns, accompanied
by their son, Kenneth, expect to leave
at once for Corvallis, where the
young man has three years in 0. A
c., and they contemplate making thai
city their permanent home.
Mr.. Patterson and family go tc
Portland the coming week, and theil
stay in that city may be Of indefinite
duration, 1t depending largely upoI
how Mr., Patterson gets along. 1t II
hoped that the change Of climate ma,
prove beneficial to him, and his man!
friends here sincerely hope that thi
may prove true. At any rate. wher
ever they may be called to go, thu
best wishes Of the entire communit!

.RATH|E CALLED worst
Of JA|L-bREAKERS
(Pendleton East Oregonian. J

Jack Rathie, Jail breaker and con-
spirator in the death of Sheriff Til
Taylor, has been found out. Dis
closures made at the county Jail Sun
day and made known today, show
Rathie to have been the only one of
the five prisoners indicted Friday
who lied when asked if he was indict-
ed under his true name.
John Laffebean is the correct name
for Rathie, according to two young
men who identified him at the jail
Sunday. He comes from American
Falls, Idaho, and, like three of his
confederates in the Jail break, has a
criminal record. He has consistently
maintained his innocence of previous
crimes. however, and has declared
that Rathie is his true name.
Shot During Bank Robbery
Rathle, or Laffebean, took part in
a bold robbery at American Falls
three years ago, according to the
story told by the pair who identified
him. Following the robbery he was
shot In the shoulder while making
his escape. This gunshot wound in
the shoulder was obtained in the ar
my, Rathie once told, while to others
he said 1t was an accident while
hunting rabbits.
For the crime at American Falls
Laffebean was sentenced to serve
four years in the reformatory in Ida
no, his informers said He was out
on parole Officials here were told
to write to the reformatory in Idaho
to obtain his past record,
That the two men who disclosed
Rathie we're we'll acquainted with
him was evidenced when they appear
ed yesterday and asked to look at
the prisoners. Rathie recognized
them and called them by their first
names. The men asked that their
identity be not divulged
Declared Bad Character.
According to their story, Laffebean
or Rathie, is a Russian-German and
"a bad character. The officers who
have had charge of the prisoners will
bear out the latter statement. They
characterize him as the most treach-
erous of the least honorable, Of the
five now held for the murder of Sher-
iff Taylor. He whimpers and he
seeks sympathy from those who
would let their heart strings be
touched but would knife them should
they turn their back, one official said
today. "He has a yellow streak as
broad as his back" he declared,
With the disclosures on Rathie,
four Of the five men are now known
to have committed past crimes. The
only man whose record so far Is clear
Ia Elvin Leroy Stoop, alias Louis
Anderson, whose passage Of bad
checks at Umatilla two months age
Is believed to have been his first Of
fense of record. Rathie has been the
most persistent liar Of the bunch, ac-
cording to District Attorney Keator
and the hardest man from whom to
wiring any confession. Rathie was ar
rested here for store robbery In June,

Mary Pickford Plays Role of
"Stella Maris" at Star Friday

Playing a dual role, Mary Pick
ford will be seen in new Aircraft
picture at the Star theater, Friday.
Miss Pickford plays the title role of
Stella Maris," in a film version Of
VIM. ]. Locke's celebrated novel, and
also interprets the part Of Unity
Blake, an uncouth character who is
introduced as an inmate of an orphan
asylum. AS Stella Maris, paralytic
heiress, surrounded by every luxury
wealth can command, and protected
from even the slightest knowledge of
worldly things, the comparison with
Unity Blake presents startling con-
trast. Later, when Stella has her
health restored and learns Of the pow
erty, misery and crime existing in the
world which her imagination had
pictured as idyllic 1t proves too strong
shock and threatens her life.
Through an amusing chain of cir
cumstances the two girls-the Ugly
Duckling and the delicate and beauti-
full Stella Maris-love the same man,
and then comes the supreme sacri-
fee, the giving of Unity Blakes life
for the man she loves and for Stella
Maris.
The portrayal Of two characters so
vastly different by Mary Pickford will
probably stand as wonderful achl-
evement in screen art.
Frances Marion adapted the story
to the screen, and Marshall Neilan di-
rected the production. That they have
caught the tender pathos Of the novel
lists work is demonstrated in this, the
latest of charming vehicles for the ap-
pearance of the world-famous star.

.PENDLETON MAN IS
DEAD FROM GUN. SHOT
W. c. T.. Pruitt, Former Publicity
Man, Dies Following Discharge OF
Shotgun In FoOt-Amputation of
Foot Avails Nothing.

W. c. (. Pruitt died shortly after
midnight at st. Anthony's hospital
IN Pendleton on Monday, following
the amputation of his left foot above
the ankle. Mr.. Pruitt shot OF a por-
tion Of the foot Sunday morning
when a shotgun he was carrying on
a grouse hunt was accidently dis
charged.
The accident occurred shortly be-
fore noon Sunday on the hillside near
the Pruitt cabin above Gibbon on the
Umatilla river, according to the Pen
dleton East Oregonian. Mr.. Pruitt
had taken the gun to go out for
grouse and was alone on the hill
when the gun was discharged. His
daughter, Rae Pruitt and Miss Mary
Meek, her guest, were on another
hillside nearby, and ran to Mr.. Pru-
tits assistance when he cried out
that he was injured.
While Miss Meek gave first aid.
Miss Pruitt ran to the cabin and told
Mrs. Pruitt of the accident. While
Mrs. Pruitt went to the scene Of the
accident to render assistance to her
injured husband the daughter went
to Gibbon and wired to Pendleton
for physician.
DR.. G. L. Boyden rushed to attend
Mr.. Pruitt and the injured man was
placed in the physicians automobile
and started to Pendleton. The oper-
alton followed soon after reaching
the hospital. The nature Of the acci-
dent and the time which elapsed until
proper care could be given the in
jured man, together with the loss OF
blood and the shock Of the shooting.
conspired to sap Mr.. Pruitt's strength
and he could not rally from the oper-
alton.
Mr.. Pruitt was well known in
Heppner, having made a number Of
visits here while he was publicity
manager for the Pendletsn Round
Up Association. He has engaged in
newspaper work for a number OF
years and managed the R. N. Stan
field senatorial campaign two years
ago. He leaves wife and two chill
dren and a brother, Don Pruitt OF
Stanfield.
