False Rumor Is

On Ricker Death
By, Mrs. L. Z. Terrall-
UNION (Special) With the latest
rumor tti connection WHU the death,
or Tex Ricker proving falsev rio hew
developments In the case- were noted
during the past weekend; Saturday
It was said that the first suspect had
committed suicide and was in the
Baker mortuary., The so-called bus
pect attended the Union dance Satur
day evening. .,.
Officers still hold to the belief that
the causes of death include the pos
sibility of murder and that Jealousy
was the motive for the act. The bul
let which was extricated from beneath,
the shoulder blade of the dead man
has been sent to Portland, but no
trace has been found of the gun al
though officers have searched the
vicinity f the place where the body
was found about 4 o'clock Tuesday
morning. The body of the man who
made himself known In Union and
La Grande as "Tex Ricker," was found
on a bridge near the old woolen mill
site in Union.
The upward course of the bullet Is
claimed to be contrary to suicidal
gunshot wounds, therefore officers
believe the man was attacked and
shot. Many believe that the gun will
be Rlckcr's own, also, since he is
known to, have carried a gun while
In Union.
, Another theory which has been pre
sented is that someone was Jealous of
Rlckcr's alleged approaching marriage
to Mrs. Mildred Jory, with whom he
spent the evening at dinner at the
Adrian Good b rod home before meet
