Four men punctured with heavy
bird shot, another's life hftngiDg by
a thread who whs shot by n
rifle, is the result of a riot in the
usually peaceful little town of lone,
last Friday uight where Charles
Earheart was the chief actor in the
disturbance.
In the excitement following the
trouble, many stories were afloat
and conflicting statements were
numerous.
From several interviews and the
best information available the fol
lowing particulars were obtained
by the Gazette:
Boose an Jealouty.
A combination of booze and jeal
ousy are said to be responsible for
the action of EaThart in the unfor
tunate affair. Early Friday even
ing. Earhart began to tank up and
at duBk went down to the hotel
conducted by Mrs. Geinger. tfpon
meeting the woman in front of the
hotel on the sidewalk, a quarrel
ensued. The quarrel after reach
ing a warm stage was finally taken
np by Henry Clark, Mrs. Geinger'o
son-in-law, when Earhart pulled
out a large pocket knife and Clark
drew a revolver.
Woman Sarea Earhart'a Life.
Mrs. Geinger jumped between
the two men and attempted to hold
Clark who fired a shot over her
shoulder at Earhart At this junc
ture Clark jerked away from the
woman and jumping to the street
fired three more shots in quick suc
cession at Earhart, none of which
took effect

Clark First ITIan Snot.
After making his exit from the
store, Earhart started for Clark's
house. Going to Clark's home
there was nobody there and he
came back do n town, meeting
Clark and another man on his way

rough manner, Earhart ordered the
two men to climb over a nearby
fence. Clark and bis companion
were not long in obeying the order.
As Clark was climbing the fence,
Earhart shot him between the
shoulders, making a painful but
not dangerous wound.

HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY. JULY, 8 1909
Earhart then went back to the
hotel, still carrying his gUD. After
going to the hotel and livery stable
he came back up the street and
forcing Harry Reed to sit by the
side of him eat down in front of
drag store 'where he stayed for
about 30 minutes.
In the meantime great excite
ment prevailed and the officers and
citizens were arming themselves
and getting a posse together to
capture Earhart.
The fosse Ires! Cpon.
During this time Earheart quiet- j
ly watched the action of the posse
and remarking to
Reed that he
guessed he had a move coming,
started ud the street. As soon as
he got up the posse ordered him to
halt. The command to halt was
answered by two rapid shots from
Earbart's gun. He then made a
fast run up the street to Hague
wood's blacksmith shop amid a
shower of bullets from the guns of
the posse. A least a dozen' citi
zens were shooting at him at every
jump.
From the blacksmith shop he
turned east across the railroad track
with the posse in hot pursuit. Get
ting to the two warehouses near
the track he ran between the build
ings and took refuge behind some
sagebrush and trash at the foot of
the bill north of lone.
Posse Shoote Innocent Klta.
In the alley between the ware
houses through which Earhart ran,
William H. Escue had spread bis
blankets and was sleeping. In
making his get away, Earhatt ran
directly over Escue and kicked the
old gentleman in the head as he
went over him. Knowing nothing
of the trouble, Escue naturally
raised up to see what was going on
and the posse thinking that he was
Earhart who bad been wounded
opened fire on the old man.
Escue, who was seriously shot by
some member of the posse, began
to cry for help. As soon as the
facts were realized the posse was
considerably rattled and Earbart's
whereabouts were host track of.
The warehouses are up on props
Which would furnish a good hiding
place and the posse thinking that

Two big days'of the glorious Fourth
in Heppner with everybody satisfied
and a good time for all ia the story of

To go in!o detail and describe every

cises.
The parade opened the excerciees by
forming at the Commercial Club build
ing at 10 o'clock. While the parade
was not lare, there were many hand
some and highly decorated floats, auto
mobiles, carriages, ladies and gentle
men on handsome steeds, in all making
a showing that was interesting for tbe
many spectators.
A large platform was erected on
Chase street aoder tbe big shade trees
on the C. A. Rhea property. The plat
form was covered with canvas and
aided by the shade of tbe trees made a
cool and comfortable place for the ex
ercises tbat were held there.
Tbe exercises on the platform con
isted of music by the OAC band, fol
lowed by prayer by Rev. Airhart. Hon.
T. J. Mahoney delivered a short open
ing address and waa followed by Rev.
Orr who read tbe Declaration of Inde
pendence. After vocal and instrument
(music and a beautiful flag drill, Judge
Batter delivered the oration which was
one of the leading features of the ex
ercioes. The canvas roof over tbe plat
form Quivered with the cbeeis tbat
came from the large crowd, so great
was the appreciation Jof those present
of the effort of the gifted speaker.
Music by the OAO band closed tbe
exercises.
Races. Baseball, Athletic Sporta.
Im mediately after dinner a large num
ber of the people went to the depot
baseball grounds to witness the horse
races and tbe ball game. After several
exciting pony and saddle horse races,
tbe game of baseball between Condon
and Heppner was called which held the
crowd until evening. After tbe ball
game, foot raees and athletic sports oc-
a thing or two
a
'copied the attention until late in tbe
evening. After supper the OAC band
trave a delightful band concert on the
platform which was highly enjoyed Dy
all.
The balance of the evening was .akeo
up with dancing on the t latform with
excellent music by the OAC orchestra.
Second Day Exercise.
Exercises for Saturday, the second day
of the celebration, opened on the biji
platform with music bv the OAC band,
followed by music, recitations, and a
flag drill.
Prof. Harry Beard is certainly an
artfst, and his cornet solo was greatly
appreciated and highly applauded.
Edwin Woodcock's trombone solo waa
also something thut the music lovers
were looking for and he was also loudly
applauded.
The afternoon was taken np with two
ball games, Heppner vs. Condon, and
Heppner vs. lone, athletic sports, bron
cho riding exhibition, and an evening
concert by the OAC band.
Note of (be Day.
The committee as we 1 as the people
in attendance at the celebration were
highly pleased with the excellent music
famished by the OAC band.
The order in general was good and
tbere was very little disturbance to mar
the pleasure of the celebration.
There was only one accident to report.
In one of tbe burking exhibitions, a
horse ridden by Captain Joe White, ran
away and slipping on tbe pavement, fell.
Joe's bead made quite a dent in tbe
payement, but be was out again tbe
next day ready to ride tbe wildest of
tbetn.
Tbe fireworks did not create mncb ex
citement outside of starting a fire in tbe
dry grass on the bill east ot tbe schoof
house. Fatting out the fire was tbe
main feature of this exhibit.
Tbe hotels and restaurants deserve
credit for taking care of all in such a
satisfactory manner. Meals were only
25 cents and no extra charges for any
thing in the city are reported.
