Future Looks Dark to Joe
Joe Wilkins was standing in
the doorway of the Palace lobby
the other day watching the steam
roller put the finishing touches
on the new paving aud looking
the picture of gloom. " 'Smat
ter Job?" asked an inquisitive
citizen who happened along.
"Aw, what's the use?" wailed
Joe. "After hollerio"iny head
off for ten years for paved streets,
g( ud roads, etc., it begins to look
P'V'I'tu goin' to lose my j ib
Hvay that street begins to
look it won't be long until I won't
have a goldarnud thing to kick
about."
Heppner Boy at Atlanta, Ga.
Jake Osten, well-known Hepp
ner boy and the first Morrow
county "rookie" to win a com
mission in the National army,
has been transferred from Leon
Springs, Texas, to Camp Gordon,
Atlanta, Ga, His mother, Mrs.
C. J. Osten, of Hardman, recent
ly received an interesting letter
from her son from which the
Herald is permitted to make the
following excerpts:
"Well, here I am at last in At
lanta, Ga., and" fairly well-settled
for another three months, but ot
course I am not sure how long I
will be here.
"This is quite a large camp; I
can't say how big, but I know it
is big.
"There are about 30 of us at
tached to each company, and we
have the rawest of recruits to
drill. We each take a squad and
give them a sort of personal go
ing over. I have a Pole in mv
squad who cannot understand a
word of English, but I found an
interpreter today, so get along
very well.
We had a verv int.prpstincr
trip here. I have traveled through
several states, about 5000 miles
in my three months since enlist
ing. My next move I hope will
be a big one. The Mississippi
river was a failure, as a river, to
what I expected to see-"-very
muddy and no larger than the
Columbia at HeppnerJunction .1
expected to see a river.
"We have it pretty nice here.
Of course there is lots to do but
we are used to it, so it does'nt
hurt"

The regular term of circuit
court, which convened here Mon
day morning was quickly ended,
two days being all the time re
quired to attend to the civil and
criminal matters which had been
accumulating in Morrow county
for the past six months.
Judge Phelps has a decidedly
business-like way of attending to
court business and perhaps holds
the record for short terms, at
least so far as Morrow county is
concerned.
A grand jury consisting of O.
M. Scott. Fred Lucas," A. B.
Chapman, Geo. E. Sperry, W. F.
Barnett, L. D. Neill and B. F.
Sorenson was drawn Monday
morning, but there being no
criminal matters to engage their
attention they looked over the
county offices, jail, etc., and rcn
dered a report approving of the
manner in which all county af
fairs are being conducted.
An important case from Grant
county which had been transfer
ed to this county for trial was
continued until the November
term, principally for the reason
that it was deemed unwise to
call so many men away from their
work on farm and range at this
season oftha year as the neces
sary jurors, witnesses and liti
gants would involve. .' It was
therefor agreed between coun
sel for both parties to allow the
case to go over. '
The only criminal matters com
ing to trial were the liquor cases
coming up from the justice court
on appeal.
The case of George Swaggart,
charged with having liquor iu his
possession unlawfully last Au
gust was beard, aud after an
hour's deliberation the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty.
Guy Boyer was also found
guilty of having given away a
drink of whisky in his own home
last January. The men were
fined $250 each. Mr. Boyer was
granted ten days in which to file
a motion for a new trial.
Amy D. Sprouls was granted a
divorce from John M. Sprouls
and allowed to resume her form
er name of Am v D. Crawford
The divorce was granted on the
grounds of desertion and fuiluro
to support.
Mary CoUrell was also granted
a divorce from Geo. W. Cottri ll
on the ground of cruel and inhu
man tieatment. The plaintiff t s
titied that defendant had struck
her and knocked her down, and
had habitually called her vile
names and cursed and abused
her.
