With out alleging that th former incident is the cause or result of the latter fact, it might be easily' so constructed. - About three weeks agj Henry Scheffer came to La Qrande and hearing of board and room being offered by Mr Rose Hams, went there and related a story, that would touch the heart of any lady. He laid: "lam without money now, but I have a contract to paint the new saw mill, have contracts to paint various signs and if you. will advance my board until I get my first pay check. I will employ your son at a gaii sala-y to assist ma and of course pay the board advanced. 9 I have a phonograph at A B Heulatand a trunk at the Blue Mountain House." ' ' Mrk Harris consented to the request and since then Scheffer has been about the city but if he has actually labored in that ti ne is not definitely known. Within the last week tjp issued a chall enge to wrastie and had just signed an agreement as, previously stated m this Mor.diy morning, Scheffer waa ir. his rooms In the Harris home and about nine o'clock want down town. That was the last seen of him at or near hie room. Numner six was several hours late that morning, and while waiting at tha depot in company with several men, the conver sation jrlfted to gold during which time he exhibited a splendid gold watch and pieces of gol dcoin. . ' ' , ( About noon Mrs Harris discovered that her watch, a present to her and valued much more highly as a memento than, for ita intrinsic value, which is conservatively estimated at fifty dollars, waa missing. ;:i This led to a general inventory of her jewelry which resulted in the astonishing fact that still another, gold watch, a beautiful thing, and the property of Ruth Harris, and a valuable old fashioned bra celet were missing. $125 could not pur chase tha three articles. Mrs Harris said nothing to the polio but waited for the return of her son who was I L out of tha city nor did aha in any way connect the loas of jewelry with the absence of the Russ ian, whom she momentarily expected to return to his room. Professor Christol was the first to make public the theft, for on learning of the disappears ice, he quickly put two and two together and on the return of Mr. Harria. caused a warrant to ba made for the Russian's arrest. Further inquiry into the story as told by the Russian divulges that he . had no trunk, and of course did not have the con- ' . . . 1 ;n j iraci lor me sawmill panning, na nu doubt never owned a phonograph. While he was not seen to board an east bound train, it is more than likely that ha did so, and the chief of police has notified cities akbwiu, lu ..'ihcr.i hlrr. ; ' While seen at the depot Monday mornr ing he had gold and silver, fully enough to carry him out of the state. 1 Mra. Harris jtatcd last night that aha of course felt the lose of the jewelry from a cash standpoint, but all of the articles were either presents to members of her family or the property of dead relative; The eighteen dollars in board money was of course not paid and Mrs. Harris' direct loss, caused by the untimely disappearance of the wrestler, represents fully $160. 1 Pride of Grande Ronde The product of the Imbler flouring mill situated in the very heart of tha best wheat land in Grande Ronde valley, consequently the best flour. ; A trial will convince you of its superority.. . . . . ,'. . . , ' 1 Insiston having your order filled with this brand or the "Patent" from thie same mill.
