It does not seem possible that the

is quite probable, therefore, that a part

Another Sad liunaway Accident.
. .-, -
A shocking runaway accident occurred
about eeven miles from Heppner las
Wednesday evening by which two peo
ple may loose their lives. G.L.Wright
his and 5-year-old son went to Heppner
that day to trade, and started on their
way home. When about half-way there
one of the bridle bits broke. The horses
being spirited, became unmanageable

and ran away.-They only ran a short
distance before the hack upset, catching
Wright and his wife under the hack and
dragged them 30 or 40 yards before they
could free themselves. Mr. Wright's
leg was broken near the ankle, his hip
was dislocated and he is otherwise badly
hurt. Mrs Wright is badly cut and
bruised about the .head and face, and
suffered confusion of the brain. . The
child was not hurt, except for a few
bruises.
They were hurt about 8 p.m. and were
not discovered until after 6 a. m. the
next day, lying out by the roadside all
night, with neither food, drink nor aid
of any kind, except what the child of 5
years was able to give them. He gath
ered up the quilts they had for robes
and covered them as beBt he could.
When daylight came he walked across
the fields to the residence of O. N. Peck
and managed to tell him about the ac
cident. Mr. Peck immediately started
out to see what the trouble was, taking
his hack and team along. . After finding
them and procuring the assistance of a
neighbor, he at once brought them ito
Heppner where medical assistance could
be had. - - v
The End of the Fair.
The fair closed with a large attendance
and a fine program. The crowd was not
as large as the day before but the grand
stand was well filled and many people
were on the gronnds.
The first race the novelty, was won
by Buck. This was mile walk,
mile trot and Yz mile run and proved an
amusing contest.
The gentleman's roadster was hotly
contested, Dick Hinton's horse Hero,
proving the winner. It took six heats
to decide the race as Mr. Brown's mare
also won two heats and Mike Welch's
John L, one. ' The time in all the heats
was good being close to three minutes.
The mile dash was won by Tampa
and disappointed a good many pool buy'
ers who picked Sir Henry or Siretta as
the winner. '
A five mile handicap bicycle race was
the last event and it was quite dark be
fore it was finished. ' ' Ed Riggs was the.
winner, and Bert Barrett second. ' .,'
In the evening the grand ball was held
at the pavilion. The ropm was crowded
with dancers and spectators, all of whom
had a most enjoyable evening;. The
floor was in good condition and the
music superb. . The" best people in-' town
were in attendance and expressed them1
selves greatly pleased with their enter

quite large. . r

SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Thieves Got Away With S12.GOO
in Gold and SI 500 Silver,, Weigh
ing 130 Pounds, j
The express office was robbed Satur
day night just after the arrival of the 11
o'clock passenger. Agent Hill went to
the train instead of Mr. Tibbetts, who
was attending the ball, and after receiv
ing the express box, he bad Night
Watchman Gibons accompany him to
the office. The box was placed juBt in
side the door, which was locked, while
Mr. Hill went to the postoffice with the
mail and to deliver . a sack of oysters,
which had come up by express, to the
Branner restaurant. Marshal Blakeney
came back with him, and .on the way
they passed Mr. M. A. Moody, who,
having money in the box, as is his
usual custom, was on his way to the
office to get it and place it in the vault.
When Hill and Blakeney entered the
office they at once discovered that the
box had been broken open and the con
tents, or most of them, had been taken.
Mr. Moody came in by this time, and an
examination was made of the room, -a
tag from a shipment of silver and the
instrument with which the box was
broken open rewarding their search.
The latter was 'evidently made for the
purpose from an old drill. One end was
sharpened like a cold chisel, the other
was hammered into a square shspe,
drawn out - to a point, and then bent in
a quarter circle or hook.. The marks in
the box show that the thief first inserted
the. point of the hook in the staple and
tried to pry it out, but failing in this, he
inserted it in the arm of the padlock
and twisted it off.
The robbery occurred between. 11:30
and 12 :15, so that the thief was evi
dently on the watch, and the robbery
was deliberately planned. V The box
contained $7,500 in gold and $2,500 in
silver consigned to French ,& Co., and
$5,000 gold consigned to The Dalles Na
tional bank. The gold wast all taken
and $1,500 in Bilver, making a weight of
about J30 pounds, which is probably the
reason the other $1,000 was not taken,
as it would.have added sixty pounds to
the weight. -
' . Mr. Hill, evidently acting under in
structions, refuses to talk of the matter
at all; but as far as can be learned no
tangible clues have yet been found' as to
the identity of the robber.
Concerning, School Money.
As there .has been considerable- in
quiry concerning the small appropria
tion made by the state school superin
tendent,' Supfc Shelley referred one of
the letters to State Superintendent Mc-
Elroy, and received the . following
answer, which, as the people have a
well-defined opinion .of their own, will
not prove entirely satisfactorv. The
letter, dated Oct. 10th, is as follows :
"Replying to your favor of the 5th
inst., in which you enclose a communi
cation from the board of directors of dis
trict No. 3 of your county, I beg leave to
say that I have made inquiry relative to
the matter, and reply as follows :

MAIER "ft BENTON,
and Mr. Metscban gives me the follow
ing information : He made an appor
tionment of all funds on hand in August
last, the amount per capita at that time
being 87 cents. Thin money was for
warded to the several county treasurers,
and I presume you have distributed this
money to the ecbools of our county
long ago. Mr. Me techan tells me that
owing to the extreme stringency of the
times, it is impossible for him to collect
the interest due on the school fund notes
now - held by people in all parts of the
state'. You understand that this fund
arises from the interest on the irreduci
ble school land fund, and the school
land fund arises from the purchases of
school land by people in all parts of the
stat. 'The principal itself cannot be.
distributed to the children of the state,
but interest only. The state treasurer
finds it, as I stated above, quite but of the
question to collect interest to any appre
ciable amount and it would be useless to
foreclose' the notes held against, tin-
people for the shrinkage in real estate
values has been so enormous that it
would be practically of no avail for the
state board to foreclose. He states that
many persons whose notes the state now
holds and whojiave heietofore been very
prompt in paying their interest . on this
fund are now pleading for further time
in which to pay their delinquent interest.
The above are the reasons whv a lame
amount of the school funds has n6t been
distributed this year, arid I trust that
you will make this" plain to all boards of
directors making inquiry of you regara-
this matter. I remain,
' Yours very sincerely,
' E. B. McEleoy,
State Supt. Pub. Instruction.
