Another chapter Is added to the Lco-Flshcr "mysterious" weddlnc. The father of the bride now shows up nnd Is ns much surprised nt the wedding which took place about six months ago, as were the companions of Lee when he made the announce ment at Daker City. John Fisher, a man with a brogue, and blood In his eye, cnme Into the East Oregonlan office yesterday after noon and said that ho had heard that a notice of the marriage of his (laugh tor, Elsie, to Herbert Lee. had been published In this paper. The paper was produced and Fisher read with amazement. "This is an eye-opener," he Bald. "This clears up the mystery. But there is more behind It all. I see through the scheme now!" Then he nodded Ills head knowingly and sat In silence for a few minutes. "So he has really married the girl." said Fisher. "Wonder what he did with my wife and horse? They are still missing and unaccounted for. Ho took them all away together. I took that fellow In out of the cold and now he is trying to do me. I understand. They are going to gob ble that Kansas farm." It will be remembered that last week the Baker City papers announc ed that Hoibert Lee, a popular clerk in a hardware store, had surprised his friends by announcing his mar riage which had taken place six months previously. The pnpers also spoke of Lee treating his friends over the matter and his friends treat ing him. He had perpetrated a good joke, they thought, by coming down to Pendleton last April and plucking one of Its most beautiful flowers 'and transplanting it from this garden spot Into the nugget-laden soil of Ba ker. The papers failed to state who the bride was before the marriage, and an East Oregonlan representa tive who prides himself on never got ting scooped on n wedding, wont to the clerk's offlco to ascertain whom Leo had married. missing.

He , " Z X, Is a teamster, among other things, nnd spends a portion of his time at his reservation place and a part of the timo nt Adams. Ho hnd been away on a hauling trip last spring, nnd when he returned to his reserva tion place he found a note on a slate 'stating: "Papa: Mamma is sick and wo have gone to Adams." Time rolled on and they returned. Again he found the same statement on the slate. It was June now and election time. Fisher Is patriotic, and went to Adams to cast his vote nnd incidentally visit his sick wife. Here was where the pathetic side came In. He found that his wife nnd daughter,, and also his horse were showing not only her varied products but the methods of preparing them for use. The novol methods adopted by Japan t oteach the Japanese lan guage to the Chinese Formosans may form an exhibit lu the department of education. Half of Formosa Is In habited by tribes of head-hunters, some of the wildest people of the world, who last year secured some 600 human heads from the frontier districts of the Island. Warning.
