Well Known Here. Both parties to this tragedy aro well known here. Mrs. Garner, nee Miss Ada Horn, has resided In the Pilot Rock country with her parents for the past 12 or 15 years. William P. .KissinEer. married Miss Hattle Horn, a sister of the murdered wo man, at the home of Douglas Belts, at Pilot Rock, some 10 or 12 years ago. Thev lived in Pendleton and the country surrounding ever since. About two years ago Mrs. Kissinger became jealous of the attention her husband was paying to her younger sister, and remonstrated with him. This apparently did no good, and a few months ago they separated. In the meantime, however, Miss Ada Horn left Pendleton and went to Idaho to visit with a sister, MrB. Evans. While in Idaho she was mar ried to William Garner. A few months ago Mrs. Kissinger, who lives on Birch creek, sued her husband for divorce. This was granted about 10 days ago. Mr. Kis singer remained in Pendleton until a month ago, when he, in company with a friend, left for Idaho, where he has mining interests. They pass ed up Birch creek with pack horses, going by his former home, where Mrs. Horn, and his only son, of 10 years, were living, but did not stop to see them. This was the last heard from him until the .telegram came, announcing the double trageay. Kissinger Was Respected.
