POSTOFf rCE AT
GLADSTONE IS
ROBBEDOF $300
Stamps valued at $200 and over $100
in cash were stolen from the safe at
the. Gladstone postofifce some time
during the hours between Tuesday at
midnight and 6 o'clock. Wed. a. m.
The robbers made their entrance into
the building by jimmying the front
window, and drilling a hole into the
safe, were able to pick the lock, help
ing themselves to the contents.
The robbery was discovered by the
postmistress, Mrs. A. F. Parker, when
taking up her duties this morning.
There is no clue to the robbers. The
work was cleverly done, for the post
office building is located In the busi
ness section near the depot of the
Portland Railway 'Light and Power
company. There is considerable
travel in that section.
Two weeks ago the front window of
the building was found tampered with
and it is now believed that an attempt
at that time had been made to enter
the building and commit robbery, and
that the robbers were frightened
away.
LWAUKIE
CHARGE MADE IN RECALL
MILWAUKIE, Ore., Feb. 15. In re
sponse to a. printed list of accusations
against J. M. Snyder, Milwaukie may
or, whose recall is sought at today's
special election, the city council has
issued a statement defending its own
position and that of the executive in
each act questioned by the opposition.
CHARGES ARE LISTED
The circular citing the grievances,
signed by Roy N. Mclntyre, M. S.
Shrock, W. H. Grasle, William Kleeb,
F. F. Farrington, F. W. Birkemeler
and M. A. Lehman, charges that Sny
der's Main street property became a
possession of the- city when he failed
to meet the assessments; that the
mayor himself tried traffic violators
last summer and retained fees; that
contrary to the mayor's assertion that
the boxing matches have paid for the
paving of two streets, the town still
owes $4000 for the paving and has
received only $2500 from" arena bouts;
that Snyder has neglected to make up
annual financial report; that permis
sion to inspect the boxing commis
sion's records has been refused, and
that the mayor was prime mover in
the sale of the old car barn which, ac
cording to reports, was to be used for
uncensored pictures and Sunday danc
ing. DENIAL IS MADE
Denial to each assertion of the cir
cular is contained in the reply, which
was sanctioned by the city council
and the Milwaukie boxmg commis
sion. Signers of the statement are
J. J. Miller, Charles H. Counsell, Ray
Albee, J. E. Hart and Leo R. Shindler.
Since the law, it is pointed out, pro
hibits a town from bidding on delinq
ent property, J. J. Miller was author
ized by the council to bid in several
pieces of property, including that of
Snyder to be held in trust for the
city.- The town's intention, the state
ment asserts, has been always to turn
back property to the owners upon
payment of assessment delinquents.
PAVING PLAN DENIED
The council denies that it ever con
templated paying for $14,000 worth
of street Daving with boxing reve
nues, and prides itself on the amount
of improvement accomplished. Deficits
in street funds, it is declared, were
"hang over" matters from previous
administrations.
Belief in the efficient conduct of
the water department is expressed in
the council's reply, while in response
to the alleged lack of annual financial
report, the body shows that a quarter
ly report of the town treasury's re
port is given.

ANTON VARGA IS
FOUND DEAD IN
CABIN ON RANCH
"Here lies .Ma
at
rest at peace
Faintly penciled on a small piece of
a card board box, a partly illegible
note tells the story of the last chap
ter in the life of Anton Warga a
story of a broken family, of premedi
tated suicide, and .death.
Until some two weeks ago, Warga,
from all apperances had lived happily
upon the ftttle 20-acre ranch some
two miles north of Clackamas
Heights. Last night he was discovered
dead lying on his face in a pool of
blood with a bullet wound in his
temple and a .38 revolver in his hand.
On the table of the little two-room
shack were two pictures one of him
self and his wife, and the other a
family group in which were his five
daughters and several neighbors. The
door to the house was open. His keys
dangled from the lock. A pair of wet
and worn canvas gloves lay on the
bench near the door. A grey and
white kitten mewed plaintively the
only breath of life within the cabin.
WIFE IS SOUGHT
Tuesday, the neighbors say, Warga
went to Portland, claiming that he
was sick, but it is though he went to
find his wife. He hired Mack Spencer
and Dave Grannin, who live nearby,
to take care of his stock. Shortly af
ter six o'clock last night, Grannin
came to the house and saw the door
open. Looking in the inner room, he
saw Warga lying on the floor. He
sought Spencer, and the two came to
Oregon City to get Coroner O. A. Pace.
Warga, whom a draft card showed
to be 45 years of age, had six chil
dren, five girls and a boy. Three of
the girls are married. The other chil
dren, it is believed.v left with the
mother and no trace of them has been
found.
RELATIVES KNOWN
It is believed that the man has a
son-in-law, Frank Marks of Mt. Scott
and another, Edwin Weaver, whose
address is not known. A picture of
a man and a woman found on the
dresser bore the inscription, "From
Edwin and Anna Weiser to Mr. and
Mrs. Warga and family, December 20, -1920."
Warga and bis family, it is believed
formerly resided at Risley station.
Last fall he moved to his ranch where
he built the little cabin. He had made
payments aggregating $500 on the
place. Them came his family trou
ble, and brooding until he became
, despondent, the man took his own
lire.
Warga, as a card found in his pock
et showed, was a shipyard worker. A
watch In the pocket of his rough
clothes, was still running, and an ear
mechanism fastened about his neck
showed that he was hard of hearing.
