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

men and hi bride ha also won a large

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. A real
emergency nrust exift liefore any man
ill go to the trouble to hunt it up,
