The escape of Sheriff Livingstone's
"bad man," prompts the "I told you
so," from many who studied bis treach
erous nature, while in Heppner, enrout
to the "pen." The young man in
charge seemed to enlist the best wishes

ery on part of the older one.
Judge Bartholomew left on Tuesday
morning for Portland, having in charge
Earl Harmon, a sturdy little 12-year-old
lad, bound for the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society. Could the good mothers of our
town witnessed the sad parting of that
poor mother and child at the depot, it is
possible that the judge would haye been
denied his journey to Portland. When
cruel fate steps in between a devoted
mother and her babes, it is a trying
ordeal.
Late Friday night a wide-awake
pedestrain, while passing the drug store
of Patterson & Son, discovered a slight
blaze in the ceiling, and sounding the
aarm Frank Roberts, Geo. Clarke and
others forced the front door and with
the aid of a bucket of water and a
sponge soon extinguished the fire,
which was caused by a defective chim
ney above, thus averting a destructive
conflagration. As it was, no damage
was done to the satisfaction of the pro
prietors. Gilliam & Bisbee have transformed
their store front into display windows of
plate glaBS, which will hold the gaze of
the passing public. This is a new de
parture indicating an awakening of the
business men to the tactics of the suc
cessful business concerns of all trade
centers. At this age a fatal mistake is
made in adhering to the oi style prem
ises you are compelled to enter to
familiarize yourself with tbe stock of
goods they carry. - Other concerns of
the town will do well to patron after
them.
Rev. Gibbs preached a splendid ser
mon at the M. E. church, South, Sun
day evening. On Monday morning, he
held the first quarterly conference for
this charge. His reports show very
decided gains on all lines of church
enterprise. About $325 has been raised
since the annual conference and the
stewards have made liberal provision
for their pastor dnring the year. All
things considered, this church is in a
most encouraging condition, and the
pastor and his people cannot but be
gratified,
During the wintry season, it is well to
know the language of umbrellas. "To
place your umbrella in a rack indicates
that it is about to change owners. Ao
umbrella carried over the woman, the
man getting nothing but the drippings
of the rain, signifies courtship. When
the man has the umbrella and the
woman the drippings it signifies mar
riage. To carry it at an angle under
your arm signifies tiiat an eye is to be
lost by the man who follows. To put a
cotton umbrella by the side of a nice
silk one signifies 'exchange is no rob
bery.' To lend an umbrella signifies 'I
am a fool.' To carry an open umbrella
just high enough to tear out men's eyes
and knock off mens hats signifies "I am
a woman." Ex.
Yesterday, at tbe conclusion of the
noon meal, Mrs. Jennie Gilmore re
linquished the management of the
Palace hotel dining room, going back to
the Hotel Heppner. Gn this morn
ing's train a first and second cook ar
rived from Portland, an J Mr, Morrow,
the proprietor, will assume its manage
ment. Since "Billy" assumed control,
owing t his popularity and cordial
treatment of all, the business of the
hotel has assumed greater proportions
than ever known in its history. He
will make a specialty of Sunday dinners,
and feels that the local residents will
find it to their advantage to set aside
cooking for that day of rest and enjoy
the spread at the hotel, which will be
equal to any dinner served in the gay
metropolis. Everybody cordially in
vited. MARRIED.

MADK HIS ESCAPE.
A Prisoner on the Way to the Penitentiary
Jumped From a Moving Train.
Salem statesman.
Sheriff Newt Livingston, one of the
best offioers in Oregon, oaroe to Sulera
yesterday, having in oharge Frank
Miller, under a two years' sentenoe to
the penitentiary for burglary. He de
livered bis man to the authorities at the
prison, and yesterday afternoon started
on his return trip. The officer ha en
unusual experience while on bis way
to this oity, and one wbioh has humili
ated him considerable, He started with
two men, Miller, the man be delivered
at tbe prison , and Thomas Jones, under
a three years' senteooe for burglary, who
escaped from bim on the way, A Port
land paper, in speaking of tbe matter
yesterday, tells tbe following story,
which was verified by Sheriff Living
ston yesterday :
Thomas Jones, enroute to the peni
tentiary at Salem from Canyon City to
serve a three years' snntenoe for burg
lary, jumped through a oar window at
Fairview and escaped from Sheriff Newt
Livingston, of Grant oounty, who bad
bim in oharge. Tbe uffiir happened
Thursday afternoon, and tbe officer bas
since used every means to reoapture his
prisoner, but without sncoaas.
Sheriff Livingston had also m his
custody another prisoner named Miller,
and was aooompanied by a deputy
sheriff, Livingston considerately did
not handcuff the two men, not thinking
either would take any desperate chances,
as both bave ebort sentences to serve.
Tbe offioers maintained a strict watoh
on them, however, and felt sure the trip
to tbe penitentiary would be successfully
aooomplished. As the train was nenrirg
Fairview, Jones aaked and was granted
permission to enter the toilet room of
tbe oar. He looked the door behind him
and a moment later the sheriff looked
through the window into the room, only
to find his man gone. The iraio was
stopped as soon as possible and the
alarm given. Search was made for
Jones, but it proved frnitless. The tram
was running at tbe usual speed when
the man took tbs leap for liberty, and
he must bave gained the ground with
out meeting with any serious mishap,
because if be bad been injured to any
considerable extent be would bave been
unable to get out of reach.
The sheriff remained iu tbe vicinity of
Fairview (or sm time, sending Miller
on to Portland in the custody of the
deputy. He made diligent inquiry from
the people along the line of the railroad
near tbe scene of the escape, but was
unable to obtain any traoe of the fugi
tive. He came to Portland in the even
ing and appraised Sheriff Frwzier and
the police authorities of tbe occurrence,
and yesterday rooming renewed the
search. Sheriff Livingston bas eulisted
the services of the people of Fairview
and adjtcent points lu his behalf, and
bas offered $50 reward for the arreet of
Jones. The description given of Jones
is: Height about 5 feet, 9 inches, big
blue eyes, which bulge out, and face
clean-ebaveo. He xore an old overcoat,
which bus a large red pot in the baok of
it, and his pantaloon legs are toru .t the
bottom."
