JAMES COLEMAN
DIES TUESDAY
Came to Gilliam County for
Benefit of Ilia Health and
Passes Away at Home of
George Stewart-Funeral
Yesterday Afternoon.
At the home of Geo. Stewart
on Thirty-milo occured the
dath of James Masson Coleman,
Tuesday morning: at 1:30. Thus
closed the early life of one who,
being dead, yet speaketh. Do
ceased was born in Stonehaven,
Kincardinshire, Scotland, July
3, 1884. He came to Canada in
Maroh 1906, and In November of
the same year came on west to
Portland, where he hits since
made his home. He was mar
ried on June 18, 1910, to Miss
Maggie Ann Drown who had
arrived three days before from
Scotland, in company with Mr.
and Mrs. D. S. Coleman, who
cyme to Portland to make their
home. On November 14, 1910
he was brought to Condon in ex
ceedingly poor health, and was
taken to Mr. Stewarts home,
with the hope that the brisk
Eastern Oregon air would mat
erially benefit him. He was
steadily gaining in health until
within the last week when he
took a sudden turn for the bad
and in a few hours he had pass
ed into the glorious beyond.
Deceased was a model of in
dustry in his efforts to ehtertain
and instruct his people. He
was strictly honest in the serv
ice he rendered. He was not
only a model Christian, but an
honorable gentlemen, in the
highest sense the term implies.
To man, woman or child, saint
or sinner, he always extendell
cordial greeting, that lent a ray
of light to brighten their path
way In the journey of life. He
commanded the respect of all
classes of people. Some of his
associates did not fully appreciate
his worth until after the thread
of life was severed. But as they
caught a glimpse of the white
sail that bore him away to the
distant shore they awoke to the
realization that a good and
righteous man was being taken
away from.their midst.
Funeral services were cond
ucted from the Congregational
Church yesterday afternoon,

sermon, and the choir Ringing a
number of hymns approptiate for

MAKES GOOD HIS ESCAPE.
Young Shippey, the fellow who
escaped from the county jail last
Thursday night, has evidently
made good his escape as so far
no outside officials have reported
having seen him. Monday morn
ing two forest rangers of the
Heppner Reserve met him ten
miles this side of Heppner. . He
was on horseback and armed.
They reported to Sheriff Mon
tague that night who immediate
ly started on the trail, but the
odds were all in favor of Shippey
and he ia probably out of the
state by this time. The forest
rangers did not know at the time
that hawas as escaped convict
or they ...could easily have cap
tured him. The County Court
willte asked to line the jail cor
ridor with iron bars so that no
similar escapes may be recorded
in the future. '

simple, there being no brides
maids or grooms attendants, but
the use of tie wedding ring

if the ceremony had been more
elaborate. After the bridale
vows had been pronounced there
was a season of congratulations
and lator an elaborate wedding
dinner was served, and those
who have partaken of the gen
uine hospitality of the Brown
