Splotches of Blood Found on Hie Bed
Which the Missing Man Occupied
When at Home, and Several Buck
shot Found .on the Floor George
Has Been Mi-wing Four Days
Hunting for Trulls with Blood
hounds George Was the Object of
III Will From Several Different Dl-riH-llon.
Frcewater, Or., Dec. 19. (Special
to the East Oregonlan.) For four
duys George George, the Freewater
rai.cher, who recently horsewhipped
Will Williams on finding him riding
in a buggy In company with Mrs.
George, has been missing, nnd fron
facts learned today It Is thought he
has been murdered. This forenoon
the sheriff of Walla Walla county
went to George's house, between this
place and Walla Walla and made an
investigation of the premise
Splotches of blood were found on the
bed occupied by the missing man, and
on the floor several buckshot were
found.. There Is a suspicion Unit the
buckshot was lost from a slung-shot
probably used upon George while he
lay In bed, and that after being mur
dered his body was secreted by the
murderer.
Immediately after the above evi
dences of foul play were discovered,
the sheriff secured two of the blood
hounds fro mthe penitentiary for use
in locating the body and trucking the
assailant. However, up to this time
the senrch has been unrewarded.
Ever since the 'sudden disappearance
of Ceorge four days ago, there has
been much speculation among neigh
bors concerning him. When last seen
he was In a morose frame of mind
over the troubles In his family. Con
sequently, there was a suspicion that
he had killed himself or had left the
country. However, with the discovery
of the evidence of foul play, the sui
cide theory has nearly been abandon
ed, and It is now thought by officers
and others that George was murdered.
Considerable trouble is said to have
existed between -George and Williams
over alleged attentions paid Mrs.
Georse by the latter. The climax of
the affair was reached several weeks
ago .vhen George found his wife and
Wllllamp riding towards Walla Walla
In a busgy and then beat him severely
with a horsewhip. Thereupon he told
Williams to get back Into the buggy
and directed Mrs. George to drive him
10 me nospuni in waiia walla. This
the woman did.
Since the whipping episode, George
and his wife have lived apart, so It Is
said, and the man has ,been brooding
considerably over the trouble.
Should It prove that George was re
ally murdered, suspicion may bo fast
ened upon some parties who are In
terested In a certain criminal case now
pending at Walla Walla. George Is
said to have been a witness against the
parties In the case, and that without
his evidence a conviction could not be
had. Consequently It may develop
that he was put out of the way to pre
vent his appearance In the case. How
ever, so far all efforts have been dl
rected towards finding the body of trie
missing man and thus settling the
question regarding his death.

NATURE SPARE8
The strlckea IUwe Fram Grief.
What a fortunate provision of nature
It is, that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. In the height of Its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the live, of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the ln
vestlgations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction Is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the - hair follicles. .Newbro's Herplclde
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting th. hair to grow as na
tur. Intended. Sold by leading drug
gists. Bend 10c. In stamps for sample
