Observer Aurora 1.25 a Year -Published Every Thursday AURORA NO. 31 AURORA, MARION COUNTY, OREGON. OCTOBER 9, 1919. VOL. IX. CLUB COMMITTEES ARE JUDGE BUSHEYS “LIBRARY HUGE WALNUT TREES Dr. Starke, Alien Enemy Dentist, GEORGE LUEBBEN REPORTED MELVIN WERNER MEETS PRIDE OF E1LERS FARM APPOINTED BY PRESIDENT FEVER" NOT VERY HIGH DEATH V/H1LE HUNTING DROWNED AT ILWACO Goes East After Unlawfully Practicing at Netter Farm Without License. A telegram was received here by the Melvn Werner, the 14-year old son It appears that the corinty court Gerd Eilers, one of the well known The Aurora Woman’s Club met last week with Mrs. W. P. Wurster, the of Ernest Werner, of Needy accident threw cold water on the proposal to es i postmaster* Mrs. Diana Snyder last Friday from a deputy sheriff at Iiwaco, Washington stating that George Lueb- ben was drowned October 1 at that place. Mr. and Mrs. Luebben were at the Canby Fair but the news was tele phoned to them, and Mr. Luebben went to Iiwaco at once. It appears that the young man and his partner were supposed to have been fishing at sea in a 40-foot motor boat, and during a storm had anchored just outside the breakers in plain sight of many people. Of all those who saw the boat only one man claims to have seen anyone on the boat. One man who used a marine glass says that he could see no occupants. After some hours at anchor the boat broke away and was washed ashore, but no trace has been found of those in the boat, A satchel belonging to the wife of Mr. Luebbens partner washed ashore and a note book was found which Mr. Lueb ben recognized as belonging 10 his son. It contained pictures taken here. The condition of the boat is such as to lead to the belief that had there been any occupants they might have come through the breakers safely, as the stove pipe through the cabin robin had not been torn apart. While the people at Iiwaco held out no hope to the parents for the safety of thé young man, there is still a small chance he and his companion may still be safe but unable to notify their friends, George Luebben is well known her« and a fine young man with many friends who are anxious for further news. ally shot himself Sunday afternoon while hunting China Pheasants, and died before medical attention could be obtained. His gun was discharged while he was crawling through a fence, and the charge tore its way through his arm almost severing it. When found he was unable to move, but was carried to his home and doctors summoned from every direction, but none could be reached in time to save his life.' He died from loss of blood, all the efforts of his rescuers having failed to stop the flow. His parents who were visiting in Sil- verton were notified immediately but did not reach home in time to see their son alive. No inquest was considered necessary. The funeral took #place Tuesday at Werner home and burial at the Kauff man cemetery near Silyerton. The family have the sincere sympathy of many friends in the surrounding com munities.

Since his return from Fort Douglas he has heen living at the home of Edwin Netter, a close friend and sympathizer, where Dr. Starke announced that he had opened an office for the practice of dentistry, in spite of the fact that his license to practice had been revoked for cause and had not been re-instated. Nor had he been entitled to practice at any time, according to a letter from the secretary of the state board of examin ers, which says: “He has not made application for either a renewal or a new examina tion, through this office, or to any other member of the hoard, to my knowledge.” Dr. Starke was refused office rooms in Aurora and rejected the advice of the best men of the town—advice which LOCAL APPLICANTS ASK he personally solicited—that hé locate AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP elsewhere.
