caused separation of Kissinger and
his wife1 In Pendleton recently.
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.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Kissinger were
highly respected by their Intimate
friends, and he was a hard working,
good-hearted man and the . murder
and suicide Is a great surprise to
everyone. The murdered woman's
relatives are considered among tho
ioaf nmnin In Umatilla county. Two
brothers and a sister live In Pendle
ton Thoy are John and Albert Horn
and Mrs. A. Noble. George Horn lives
at tha Rock. Grant and Harvey
Horn live on Birch creek, and their
mother lives with Grant, the father
being dead. Another sister, mru.

want ypu to show me the house."
