An Interesting atnry ram to tight lad Friday when a claimant to the e tala of Juhn Mormon, deceased, apear ed to lay claim li tlie roity. The elalinant I Mr 4. Minnie Welleni, of Keudallville, Indiana, who, with her hiuhand, arrived here barely lit time to g"l thlr claim prenented a the antaie would hava reverted to the ttata of Ore gnu nn Friday lu l they bnn a day later arriving, an order to that effic! having been made by Judge BradUaw on the 2Si.li tlr of Un ripteni wr, . J lin Mormon wa well known by moat of tha old resident of UiHiam n unity ha hav Ing been engnged In tha aheep business here np to the time of hi death which occurred on tha 6th day of Jauuary.lHtm tit died Intestate and without any known heirs and all effort to discover hair or near relative were unavailing until the appearance of the parties above named. Mr. Wslleii cUiin to be a sis ter of the deceased sheepman and the try site tells ciund like an old dory book. Tha name Mormon, . she tay wa not her brother' Hue name he hav Ing assumed that when he came west !! yssr !S79. !!!s trss ssics was John Usury OlIlgK. Tlie OUige fain- lly we born In Uermany and In 1H09 John, hi brother and listers emigrated to Aiiierica (ettling at Cincinnati, Ohio. Al that plaea John enllded in the regu lararmy. He did not like army life however, and after a year' service de serted aud came wast. U wa then he changed hi nam. After coming to Gil liam county ha engaged in the theep businei with Char-e Wetgaud, nd they acquired considerable property in that line. During the time the two men were partner Mr. Vliid, who wa also a German, ret n rued to the Fatherland oo a visit aud Mormon ask ed him to go to a certain town anil visit his relative but without telling Wtd gand hi true aame. Welgaud visited the village Mormon had named to hi in a hi old home and made a careful bnt fruitless search to find the Mormon fam ily. While prosecuting this search he met some member of the OHige family but of conrudid notupect that they were the people for whom be wa bunt ing. About the time Wiegand left Germany it seems thst Mormon bad written a let ter to his brother In Cincinnati telling him where he wa located and some thing of hi business affaire but, drange to aay, while he addressed the Cincinna ti OUige aa "brother" b signed the letter "John Mormon." This waa the first and only word hi relative ever had from him after hi desertion from tha army. Thl drange letter waa for warded from Cincinnati to the old home In Germany and reached there on the eve of Weigand'a departure after hit fmitle aearch for the Mormon family. He wa found by them however, just a ha wa about to take the train to leave the village, and, after an Interview, they concluded that Mormon and Oiliges must he one and the same perxon. To further complicate matter thi letter wa destroyed jn a fire aome time after being received in Germany and that im portant liuk In the chain of evidence is gone. Mormon wa marriod in thit county a number of years before hit death but the union was not a happy one and hit wife secured a divorce and ha tinea dis appeared completely ao that if eh ku w anything of hi past that wontd assist in untangling the mystery It i not at prcifnt obtainable. Mr. Weigend is here with Mr. and Mr. Wellen to asiist them in estab lishing their ulaim. He is a man with oonaidurable property and spend his time mostly in travel. J. W. Snover haa been retained by the Wellen to look after their interests in the matter and it i expected that evidence will be taken at an early date in an attempt to establish Mr. Wellens' claim. Survey Completed. The surveyor of the Columbia River & Central Oregon R. R. Co. completed their preliminary survey to Condou Monday. Mr. Bellinger, the engineer in change of the work stated that they had ecured a good grade all of the way. On the ridge north of town they run a tan gent five mile long. A nnmber of nit have been flld"conderuiiing right ot-way between this place and Arlington and it is understood that the company will start proceedings at once againat all the right of way required this being the quickest way, they believe, of curing it. The Eastern Oregon R.R.Co. ha also tiled a number of suit of the tamo character. Each company still insista that it will build a road. Takes a Pessimistic View. Charlea McAllister, the1 well known Klickitat county sheep than, wa in Portland last week wi th a ahipinent of 5,000 head of mutton which he took to the city (or aale. To a Telegram report er Mr. McAllteter gave a gloomy account of the on tlook for stockmen in Eastern Oregon aud Washington.' lie predict that the lose of aheep in this section will reach fully 50 rer cent, during the coming Winter. This gloomy view ia taken because of the scarcity of feed and of Mr. McAllister' belief . that the coming Winter will be an exceptionally severe one. Other stockmen will sin cerely hota that bit prediction are not well founded and that the season will be lea rigorous than he prophesies. A Quiet Wedding. At five o'clock last evening, at the home of Elder W. A. Uoodwin in, Con don, a quiet wedding took place when MiaaEdna l.ov Austin became the bride of Mr. Daniel A. Ilawe. Both parties are well and favorably known here and have a large circle of friends, Mr, Ilawe Untie of our moat popular young men and hi bride ha also won a large circle of friend during her short reel deuce here. ,; ... TlieGi,'uu extends it bonrtiest con gralulutioue to lbb'.bjy couple.; He Knew Tom Horn. R. P. Orr, the Wasco resident, a hn It here doing the plastering work olt the court lions and other brick bntldiog which have been btlllt here this season, wat well acquainted with Tom Horn, the Wyoming desperado who wat hang ed at Chyenna lad Friday for aeriM of cold bbxaled murder which art said to have been instigated hy coterie of Wyoming cattla king by whom ha was employed, Mr. Orr lived a neighbor to the Horn family, near Memphis, Mo., for many year goir.g there In 1873 when yonng Tom waa only thirteen year old. ' He say the published stories to th effect that Tom Horn sr. the desperado' fath er, wa a member of the Jame gang and that ha drove the buy from home when fourteen year old. art en tirely fslse. The elder Horn wat a good citizen and a man of considerable prominence in hi part of the state. He was engaged in tha cattle business In Scotland comity, Mo., aud also owned a cattle ranch in aoutbwedern Kansas. Yoong Tom re mained at home ontll he wa sixteen year of age when ho went to the Kan- tamdi with hi brother Charlie, wiio wa manager of that branch of hi fath er haul nets. Tom wa of rather a wild and roving nature and while yet at home wa known a a dead hot and a pretty wild boy. boon after going to Kan ht took' a trip to Denver and while there he joined a party of pros pector who were going into th Utt In dian country to aearch for gold. The In dian happened to be In an ogly mood and, going on the warpath, they were about to cot the prospector off when they were rescued by U. 8, troop and taken back to Denver. Thi experience only served to whet yoong Horn' appe tite for adventure and he toon pursued- ed four other young fellow to join him and they returned to the Indian country Thi time they were attacked, part of their number killed and Tom and on companion were captured. Tliey were held in captivity for a year bat finally escaped and started on loot for Denver. Before proceeding far they came to a creek in which they discovered nnggeta of gold. Delighted with the prospect of sudden wealth the boy killed some pralria dg and mak'.ng tack of tbeir skin they gathered ap aa much gold a they could conveniently carry and dart ed once more for Denver. Unfortunate ly, however, the Indian overtook them and, after making them carry the ong get back to the place where they bad foond them, they took tht boy back to tbtir camp where they were- hold as prltoner two year longer. Another op portunity for escape finally presented itself and they took advantage of it bnt were again pursued, overtaken and Horn' companion k illed. By good luck however, Tom evaded the red (kin and after varioua adventure finally made hi way back to Denver. Here he was employed for some time by the Pinker- ton and later made the celebrated cam paign a a scout with the party that captured Geronlmo. Tht rest of the story, a published, it about correct so far a our informant know and he ha been kept posted of Horn' whereabout pretty regularly hy relative of Horn who reaide on thi coast. Aa atated above, Tom Horn r. wa a respected rititen and Mr. Orr ia positive that he had no connection with the Jame gang. The James boys' home and stamping ground was in the southwest part of Missouri while the Horns lived in the ex treme Northeast portion of the, state. The old man, however, met with finan cial reverse through law euits which grew out out of a sh'pment of Texa cat tle which be brought to Missouri, by which the Texas fever was brought Into that date and he died in comparative poverty at the home of his daughter, Mre. Wm. Williams, at New Whatcomb, Washington, about eight year ago. A Fire Alarm. An unruly gasoline lamp caused a light but lively blaze at the Condon hotel about 6 o'clock Sunday evening which called out the hose company but the blase was extinguished before the fire fighters arrived, A gasoline lamp was dropped and broken In the shed be hind the hotel kitchen and the blazing fluid ran through tht cracks and was doing considerable business on the un der side of the floor by the time an op ening could be made through the floor and the fire extinguished. As it was but little damage was done except that Mrs, R. 11, Wain, proprietor of the ho tel, suffered some painful burns on ber hands while putting the fire out. The Globe man was a star actor in potting out the fire. He rang the fire bell and the fact that the fire was out and the hose company on the ground be fore the bell rang cuts no ice. He start ed in to ring that bell and proposed to ring it if it took all night. It was this way: He came out of Dunn Bro.'e store when the cry of fire war first raised and somebody gave him a key to the door of the building in which swings the fire bell. He ran to the building and after some fumbling to find the key hole which dodged him like a jack rab bit would a sheep dog, he got inside. A darkness that could be felt pervaded the room but by striki ng a match the mid night intruder into another man's sleeping apartment discovered a wood en button of the ben house door variety on the ceiling. Being of a rather investigating nature he turn ed the button when a trap door about three feet square dropped on hi bead with a dull thud that could be felt even more than the dark nee. After climb ing on a table which bucked him off a time nr. two before be learned to bal ance it properly, hw groped around in the dark attic until he found the bell rope, and the bell waa rung loud and long. Of course all this took time and the tire was out and forgotton before the I Kill rung bnt we are in a position to testify that the (ire bell is in a good sitfe place. . There ia no danger of anybody stertlirm it or ringing it for fun.
