A friend who has worked with, him for

"I have benT closely associated with
Schilling in many: waya. X coaslder hhn
tb sou! of honor" NO matter how .hard
pressed, be : may ; have been, 1 1 . believe
that he would be the last man! In the

honestly his own. ( - k rt', "
'L.am inclined to bellev that.hi work
has proven too much , of a strain, and
that h has -found It : necessary .; to go -away
somewhere and rest. I am willing
to admit that It Is odd that he should
hot have told the O. R dt N. Co.' offi
cials of his design. But no - man can ;
fully fathom another man's- motives..'-
"It Is posslbt that Tic" has gone kway

aider' him a inanof too evenly a balanced
'mind to commit' such an act" -- - , '
' The opinion of one man Is that 'Vic has;
a purpose In view in dropping' so com
pletely from sight, Snd that it' will be
found to be a business one. Until some-1
thjng : more definite than has yet been
reported is known; It Is Just -to Schilling
to give him the benefit of every, doubt

For years Schilling, has ' . " ' ".
HAD A GOOD SALART. .
And has always been an extravagant
liver. At the time th railroad companies -were
paying ticket agents, commissions,
which was an additional soure ot In-,
come besides their regular salary. Schill
ing Is said to hav mad often .'several
nunarea aouars a monxn aoove wnai tne
O, R. N. Co. paid hhn, it These com
missions were all abrogated several years
ago. One of Schilling friends adverted
to this today, and said r hi-
o' has ' always, been "A good liver.
When his extra source - of, lacom 1 was
cut off, he did not attempt te curtail hts :
expenses, . Then again, he i was heavily
interested In Eastern Oregon mines, and

would eventually pan out and mak him

The story afloat that "Vic" ha had . ;
DOMESTIC MISUNDERSTANDING i
Is not given credence. His father-in-law. '
Mr. Shelby, does not believe it and th
general Impression prevails that h And
his wife wer perfectly happy together.
