AGED 101 YEARS.
Long Life of the Late Grandma Town
- aend'a Sister.
An interesting dispatch appears in a
recant issue of the Boston Herald. It
relates to Mrs. Ellis, sister of tbe lots
Grandma Townsend, who died in Pen
dleton two years ago at tbe age oi 93.
Tbe dispatch is as follows:
"Sidney, Me., Jan. 3, 1898. Mrs.
Phoebe M. Ellis, of this town, was 101
years old today.
"She gave a reception to her relatives
and friends this afternoon, over 150 call
ing to pay tbeir respects to her.
"She retains good health,. and her
mental faculties are perfectly clear. She
reads a great deal, and is' thoroughly
posted on events of the times, as well as
occurrences of many years ago. Until
within six years ago she always made a
practice of visiting Boston at least twice
each season.1 She bas lately, been pre
sented with a wheeling chair? and fre
quently takes dinner with the family.
. "The old house where she lives bas
something of a history. It was built 111
years ago by her father, Reuben Saw
telle, who came from Groton, Mass., and
cleared s place-in tbe forest on the east
shore of the pond, where he - built him
self a home. Tbe honse is an old fash
ioned story and a half bnilding. At the
time tbe house was bnilt Sidney was a
part of tbe town of Vassal boro, Lincoln
county. Mass,, bat it was in 179V set off
from Vasealboro, and given its present
n me in honor of Sir Philip Sidney, so
Mrs. Ellis enjoys tbe distinction of liv
ing in a bouse that bas been sitaated in
both Massachusetts and Maine."
, Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows :
"I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians bad given me np. Fortunate
ly, a friend advised trying 'Electric
Bitters, arid to my great joy and surprise-,
tbe first, bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
tor three weeks, and am now a w11
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another victim."
No one should fail to try them. Only
50 cents per bottle at Pioneer Drng
8tore, G. O. Osbnrn Prop.
The Scheme Fail d.
A man was arrested at Portland last
night by U. 8. Marshal Houeer for im
personating II. B. Lee, of Dry erk(
and attempting to get a loan of $750
from Mc Master ABurrell. Mr Lfe, who
is a prominent farmer of tbia county,
now remembers that when bis honee
was robbed on July 4th last two govern
ment patents were stolen. As tbey were
recorded be paid no attention to the los,
but it appears that the swindler has now
tried lo utilize ibem. He will be brought
to Petdletnn for trial. East Oregonian.

be accorded to each party organisation
in the proportion of the number of tbe
electors of each, as shown by the official
count of the ballots cast by each in the
laat local election held in this county.
"(b) The united support of a platform
in which shall be incorporated the fol
lowing four cardinal principles of gov

all public expenditures within the limits
of the public income so that the issuance
of all interest -bearing debts be obliter
ated." A committee of five was appointed, in

fer with any similar committees from
other organizations. Its members are

A list of persons was made out whom

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Bob Estes Shot But Not Seriously
Wounded.
Last Thursday night Bob and "Lew
Estes, well known here, were held up
and robbed of (470, near Bumpter,
Baker County. Bob made resistance
and was shot in the face by one of tbe
robbers. The Baker City Republican of
Friday evening giyes the following par
ticulars: Yesterday evening Bob and Lew
3tea oi Bumpter, accompamea oy . a
stranger, entered at different times the
saloons of John Clark, Fay & Weigand
and Mr. Davis at Bourne, and indulged
in playing the crap games wbicb are be
ing conducted in those places, and pre
sided over bv John Mahoney, Judge
Mulligan and Hank Eider. The Estes
boys and tho stranger cleaned out all
the games in the short space of two
houra. With nothing more to win in
sight tbey looked for their team in
order to return lo Bumpter, but found
that somebody had turned it loose and
tbey could not find it.
The boys started for their home on
foot. On arriving at a distance of 4 miles
from Cracker, Ihey were attacked by
Judge Mulligan, Spud Murphy, Hank
Ryder and one Kelley. Probably Bob
listes showed some signs of resistance
for he was shot through the cheek, the
Dall coming nut through bis right car,
making an ugly , wound but not neces
sarily dangerous The attacked party
was then relieved of the money in tbeir
possession, of which Bob Eatcs bad 70
and Lew Estes $400.
Alter relieving the boys of their cash,
the robbers disappeared in the timber.
On receipt of the news a party of five
men was organized in Uravksr and
Bourne, who started on trail of the rob
bers, and Sheriff Kilburn departed from
this city lo the scene as soon as notified.
Ibe hold up took place between 10
and 12 o'clock last night, and as the
moon was shining brightly, the robbers
and would-be murderers have a good
start of the pursuing parties, but as tbey
have determined men on tbeir trail, It
is expected tbey will be taken. : '
This is one of tbe most bold robberies
which bas occurred . in this county for
many years, and as it emanated from
saloons lb" Bourne, it clearly demon
strates tbat pur county court cannot be
too cautious in granting licenses to men
who are to engago in this business.
THREg ARB CAPTUBKD
Later reports to tbe same paper give
the following account of the capture of
three of tbe robbers: ' '
Three of the robbers who held up and
plundered the Estes boys and Ed Grif
fin, alias Robert Head, of 9470 ii?ash,
have been captured and are no be
hind priioa bars 1 1 Sumpter. Tbe three
daring highwaymen are Judge Mulli
gan, Spud Murphy and Kelly
Last evening At Jones came down
from Sumpter in a sleigh and told a
Republican reporter that tbe three men
had been captured, but could give no
information as to how it was brought
about. This morning he returned to
Sumpter with the three witnesses, viz:
Lew and Cob Estes and Ed Griffin, who
bad come down on the train that morn
ing.
Attorney Charles Hyde received a
telephone message tbat be was wanted
at Sumpter, his services having been
enlisted by the defense.
Only one of the robbers is at liberty.
Hank Ryder, the most desperate of the
four, was not in the gang when the
sheriff and bis deputies took them. Be
ing an expert on snow shoes it is prob
able tbat he escaped over the mountains
into the John Day valley where he will
be comparatively safe.

A MEXICAN MURDER
M; L. Hasbrouck, of Pendle
ton, the Victim.
II ANNA WON THE FIGHT.
He Will Represent Ohio for
Seven Years.
-w
Yesterday's East Oregonian brings tbe
news of the mysterious death of Martin
L. Hasbrouck in Mexico.
Mr. Hasbrouck was prominently
known at Pendleton for many years. He
came there in 1887. He was agent at
Pendleton for the Pacific Elevator Com
pany, and afterward acted as geneial
agent for Pendleton an ( nearby stations.
In the latter part of last October,
about the 20th, Hasbrouck left Pendle
ton rather quietly, the fact nop being
generally known until several weeks
after his departure. Various rumors
were circulated, but nothing of a damag
ing character was developed.
Hssbrouck's wife and daughter, who
Is about 13 years old, were left behind,
and remained here until a few days ago,
when they went to Portland . to live.
Hasbrouck was a member of Pendleton
Lodge No. 52, A. F. A A. M . and of Eu
,rek Lodge No. 32, 1. O. O. F;,
Two Mexicans found the body by a
trail 00 miles south of tbe boundary line.
The remains were so icattered that it
was impossible to arrive at the matter
definitely, but be had probably been
dead about a month, and the presence in
the left side of the breast bone of a hole
made by a bullet or s, sharp pick, indi
cated that he came to his deat1! by - foul
means.
In the dead man's clothes were found
a receipt for dues f-ora the Pendleton,
Oregon, Lodge No. 32, 1. O O. F.,one
from the Portland, Oregon, Lodge No.
40, A F. & A. M and a copy of the
EaBt Oregonian.

GOLD BY THE TON,
That's the WsyTheV Speak of It in
Dawson City. ' -The
Associated Press correspondent in
DaWSOn CitV saw. imntin nthoi- thlncra
"The stories of tbe great yield of gold
published in the United States have not
been exaggerated in the least. The mind
is unable to grasp the real situation, and
appreciate- the sights tbat are so common
here to every-day life. In Dawson City
today, ready for shipment, are between
four and five tons of gold. Can you real
ise that such a thing is possible, or at all
probable T Just consider;, too, that that
is about one third of the year's output.
Men handle gold as yon would a plag of
tobacco. A( the saloon bars, the stores,
restaurants or other places of business,
tbe miners throw up tbeir tacks, and
casually turn' tnelr backs, never. stop
ping to see it they are accorded proper
weight. Would you think of handing
your pnrseover to a Portland barkeeper
and allowing him to take out the change?
'In many; of the cabins along the
gulches where I have visited I have seen
shelves loaded down with all kinds of
cans filled with gold. In one cabin on
Eldorado creek there are five coal oil cans
full of yellow metal, weighing nearly
.1200 ponnds. ! , I
''The Canadians are exercising the
laws leniently, and to tbe satisfaction of
the Americans, and, generally speaking,
the camp is orderly and very quiet, con
sidering the vast amount of money in
circulation, and the number of hard
characters in the country."
