Perhaps not a more effecting scene I has Leon witnessed In Pendleton for 1 many years than when It was an-1 nounccd Wednesday afternoon that , tho body of Elza Todd, who had bcoij missing since 2:30 Sunday morning, ; had been found. Tho last person to see young Todd , alivo were Bert Hicks, Misses Bessie : Hicks and Gracio Ranch. t They won j coming frpm tho oast and 'dance about 2:30 Sunday morning and saw the j young man coming down the railroad , track, near the Sister's school. He was staggering from side to side and ; evidently very much Intoxicated. , Hicks and his companions came on, 1 and that was the last seen of Todd 1 alive. He had apparently been com ing down town or going to his home, which is in the Gibson gulch, cast of the schoool house, and had fallen off the railroad bridge into the water where the track crosses the mill race. The body was about 60 yards beiow the railroad bridge, under the wagon bridge which crosses the race at tho south end bf Franklin street. It wns thought by some when Todd did not show up Sunday, Monday or Tuesday and no word could bo had from him, that he had possibly fallen into the mill race and was drowned. This idea gained very little foothold among his friends until Wednesday morning, when it was announced that a hat had been found in the mill race which was identified as the one worn by Todd. This hat was found Sunday afternoon by Frank Bentley and Arth ur Laing, who were out walking and discovered it at the lower end of the race. They did not know at that time that any one was missing and only thought the hat had blown from some one's head and lodged there. It was laid out on the bank and later picked up by a passerby. Wednesday morn ing the finders of the hat informed Todd's relatives and they identified it as belonging to the missing man Then an effort was made to get Byers to turn the water off the mill race so that a thorough search could be made as the finding of the hat where it was caused everyone to believe that bis lifeless body was lying at the bottom of the race. Byers was reluctant to turn off the water at first, but at noan he agreed to do it, and by I2;su a crowd of anxious friends, were patroll in'g the banks of the race from end to end and watching every inch of the water to find some evidence of the missing man. They Watched Eagerly. In most places the bottom of the race could be seen, but some places the water was too deep. After the water began to go down Frank Earn heart got into a -small boat and start ing from the head of the race, let his boat float slowly down the current, while, with a rake, he carefully searched the tail-gate where the watv runs into an underground flume to the mill. As Earnheart drifted down the stream a large crowd followed close, among them the relatives of the miss ing' man. Every move of the searcher was watched with eagerness and oc casionally when he would halt as though some object had been struck, every eye would be fixed on him. As he neared the end of the race the feeling grew more intense but when the searcher turned at the terminus and announced that he did not believe his friend Todd was in the race, a feeling of relief went through the crowd, which had by this time been swelled, to more than 250. The boat was then lifted out on tho bank and the people began to disperse, witli the conviction that they would have to look somewhere else for the mourned missing man. About this time it was announced that the body had been discovered several rods above, and a rush was made for the scene. A sister of the drowned man was among the crowd, and when the announcement reached her she had to be supported by friends to keep her from falling to the ground in a swoon. The scene was very effecting and is one that will not ITCHING HUMORS Complete External mat Interact Treatment ajl.M Consisting of CutiodiuSoap (93c.), to clean bo tho skin of crueta and scaled, t'UTICDMA Oint ment (Sue.), to allay Itching and soothe and heal, and Cittjccra KKSOLVtwr (60c.) . to cool and cleanse tho blood.

Ho testi fied to having been with young Todd during the evening before his disap pearance, and said that ho was intox icated. Todd worked for Earnheart during the winter and tho witness tes tified that he had heard Todd make the threat that he would end his life. He was effected with pluerisy, and had said during one of these attacks, that he was not fit to live. The next witness called wns Earn est Green. His testimony waB that he had been with Todd after he left the dance Sunday morning and that he tried to get Todd to go home, but he refused to do so. He was drunk and wanted to come down town and thought he was going in the right direction when ho was going east. It was almost 2 o'clock in tho morning and Green told him that If ho persist. ml in irolnir awav from town he fTnddl would have to no alone. There they parted. Bert Culp, Miss Grade Raugh, Bert Hicks, Bessie Hicks and Charles Hilyard wero also examined and their testimony was practically that of tho former witnesses.

For Period Covering Two Years Back No Sneclal Significance in the Move. ,On motion or Councilman Clopton, it was ordered Wednesday evening by the city council, that a compotont bookkeeper be employed to export tho records covering a period of two years back. There was no intimation that any thing was wrong with tho books, or that thcro was a possibility of thoro being a shortage In tho receipts ns entered upon tho books, but In Intro duclng tho motion Mr. Clopton Bug gostod that it was no more than right that the pcoplo know Just tho exact standing or tho city records as they were when Recorder Beam wont out or office nnd was succeeded by John M.cCourt. Tho object is to have tho hooks and reports nil gone ovor and checked up to sec If everything com pares correctly. This baa been tho custom of tho council heretofore, but it has been about two years since this was done, and tho council thought that in view dr the fact that a now recorder was serving, ho should know how tho books wero when ho took hold of tho ofilco.
