Both men disappeared last summer. Both were seen last at Uma tilla and neither has been heard of since his disappearance. The shape of the head shows Intelligence and both men were above the average in brightness. John O'Nell was a witty Irishman who had been In the employ of the Newport Land & Construction company. Owing to his penchant for liquor, he lost his job. When last een ho was in the company of Sam Simons, a negro In Umatilla, and had bet'n drinking. This was in the latter part of last June. lie was a globe trot Ur and those who gave him an af ter thought, believed that . he had joined his countrymen at work on thi North Bank road, then b'elng con structed or that he had felt the wan derlust -again. 'But the finding of the gests that he may have taken the long Journey and that the brilliant wit of Jack O'Nell had failed to save him fro ma tragic ending and his body from the ravages of the wolves. The relatives of Hedberg have been notified and when they arrive here a search of the rock peaks, slopes and gulches of Umatilla Butte will be car rled out. Interest has been aroused bv the possibility of ' finding other clews, the identity of John O'Nell, the kind of clothes he wore has been re called and it is .thought that if the remainder of the body and the cloth ing can be found, the mystery of which man It was will be cleared up. The other mystery, as to how the man met his fate will remain unsolved perhaps forever. Whether he was murdered fur money or whether he wandered in a delusion to the top of the Butte and fell from a cliff will probably not be revealed, unless discoveries on the clothing may tell if a robbery was committed. -"ran"- Ms mu mm Ask Ger tral for phone Black 1251 when you want to sell or buy and you will get ED.
