HORSE THEIVES ARE
It seems that the day of the pro
fessional horse rustler Is not yet past.
From time to time stock owners In
Umatilla county have been annoyed
by thcnperatlons of some horse thief,
but Sheriff Taylor's reputation has
prevented the development ' of any
wholesale practice along this line.
Not so, however. In some of our
neighboring counties. According to
a dispatch from Heppner, which says:
As bad a gang of horse rustlers as
has operated In eastern Oregon in
many years Is still preying on the
stock of Morrow, Gilllum and one or
two other Washington and Oregon
counties along the Columbia river.
Since the first of the year between 75
and ion animals have been stolen and
presumably run into eastern Wash
ington nnd northern Idaho for sale.
A reward of $200 has been offered
by the county court of Morrow for
the arrest ami conviction of the per
petrators of the most recent theft,
that of seven horses from the Rlack
Horse country, ten days ago. Scott
Hrothers lost four head and Frank
Hell three head on this occasion. Hell's
three being unusually good stock. Bell
himself has added $100 to the reward.
The tracks headed north, toward the
Columbia:
Indians have been among the heav
iest losers along the Columbia in re
cent months.

tentions. Miss lahaye, who is a good looking
educated Indlal girl, applied to her
employer Sunday for a leave of ab
sence of a week, stating thnt she
wished to go to Lehman springs on a
vacation. The request was Immedi
ately granted ami the major never
susplelonod that his stenographer
was about to take unto herself a hus
band. A telephone message from this
city hist night conveyed the surpris
ing intelligence to him and inasmuch
as she did not send in her resignation

blessing for the eloping couple.
