IMchtenthal Suicides by Shoot, ins; Himself. M. Lichtenthal, former county treas urer, shoe dealer, old resident and prominent citizen committed suicide at his home in Heppner by shootinglhim self through the head with a 41 caliber Colts revolver yesterday morning. The unfortuuate affair is surrounded with mystery, and the general opinion here is that Mr. Lichtenthal was demented at the time of committing the act. He opened his place of business as usual in the morning, and after being in the store a short time went home, but soon returned to his store. It is be lieved that the second trip to his store was made to get his revolver which was kept at the store. On his way home he talked with several persons on the street, but no one noticed anything out of the way. After going home he went to a bedroom, and his wife entered just as he had taken off his coat and vest and shoes and was holding the gun in his hand. Mrs. Lichtenthal was alarmed at the ptranee action, and com menced to talk to him, and waving the gun she was told to get out. She ran for help, but as she reached the outside door, a shot rang out. Mr. Lichtenthal was found in an unconscious condition, and lived until noon yesterday. KJieumatism What is the use of telling the rheumatic that he feels as if his joints were being dis located f He knows that his sufferings are very much like the tortures of the rack. What he wintt to know is what will per manently cure his disease. That, according to thousands of grateful testimonials, is Hood's Sarsaparilla It promptly neutralizes the acid In the blood on which the disease depends, com pletely eliminates it, and strengthens the system against Its return. Try Hood's. Deceased was well known in Morrow county, was well liked and was con sidered well to do. He has held the office of county treasurer for three suc cessive terms, but was defeated at the last election for the fourth term. Being of a sensitive nature, he has brooded over his defeat which greatly worried him, and this is probably largely re sponsiule for his rash act. While today was the day on which he was to turn over the books and county funds to hi 8 successor, it is believed that his accounts are straight, however, only investigation of the books will show the real facts. The county safe and his private sale were both left open and in a check book, a check was found drawn in favor of Eugene G. Noble, the new county treasurer. The check was for $l'7,000 of the county funds, and this amount was on deposit in the First National Bank of Heppner. He was also treasurer of the I. O. O. F. lodge here, and he was heard to make the remark that after today. he would have nothing more to do with the lodge hinds, which would indicate that he had been making some preparation to end his life. Mr. Noble, the new treasurer, who took the oath of office Saturday, will ask that the county books be experted and will not take charge until the exact condition of the treasurer's accounts can be determined. roritni at ioe. Celebration a lirand Success and Largely Attended. Ione's big patriotic celebration was a grand success and largely attended by people from all over the county. The IrrigoD contingent went to the wheat town on the train Saturday evening. Monday morning's tram was crowded from Heppner while a Urge number went down from Lexington. In fact the county was well represented from every quarter. The town was gaily decorated with the national colors, while from numer ous flag poles, business houses and resi dences the stars and stripes floated. A big arch profusely decorated ,'stood on the main street, through which the procession marched, headed by the Lexington band to the big tent where the forenoon exercises were carried out. The day was about all that could have been desired so far as climatic condi tions were concerned. The heavy rain on Sunday and the showers on Monday morning made the atmosphere cool and pleasant and there was no dust. It was a typical American "celebration and a continual round of pleasure from morning until late at night. There was the small boy with the firecrackers, and not only the small boys but some of the older ones who were delighted most of the day in touching off this Chinese in vention to make noise. The bombard ment of Tort Arthur from the .stand point of noise, would be a small affair in comparison, and while the boys would be looking for matches during a lull, the musical voices of the stand spielers would get in their work in tell ing about their sweet candy and red lemonade. The forenoon exercises were held un der a great tent which had been stretched for the occasion. The pro gram was as follows : Music, Lexington band; invocation, RevJ. L. Jones ; song, choir; reading Declaration Independence, Miss Jessie Davidson; music, band; Address, A. Bennett; song, choir; recitation; ora tion, Sam E. VanVactor. A. Bennett, editorof theOregon Ir rigator, who talked on "The!Future De velopment of Morrow County," de livered an interesting and able address. The principal address was delivered by Sam E. VanVactor, of Heppner. Mr. Van Vactor's speech was one of the principal features of the forenoon ex ercises and he was greeted with loud applause by the large audience. The afternoon was taken up with baseball and athletic sports. In the ball game, lone won from Irrigon by a score of 8 to 5. Lee Matlock, of Heppner won first at the ehooting tournament by a score of 23 out of a possible 25. James Hart took third money with 20 blue rocks ic his credit. There were no accidents, no disturb ance and not an arrest. The people were well entertained, and the enter prising citizens of lone deserve credif for the great success of the celebration.
