Louis Grosheus, one of tbe best
known farmers and stockmen in
this section of Morrow county,
met a tragic death last Saturday
while sittvugjn his car on the
county road near Hynd Bros,
ranch, about 15 miles east from
this city.
Death was caused by a gun
shot wound in the head, but as
no witnesses were present il will
never be known to a certainty
just how the sad affair came to
pass. Coroner Case was notified
as soon as the body was found
and after making an examination
of the body and the circumstan
ces connected with the tragedy
he decided that an inquest was
not necessary, but made a report
that the wound was probably
self-inflicted. His immediate
family, and many of his closest
personal friends men who have
known him for years and have
had close personal and business
relations with him are satisfied
however, that the occurence was
the result of an accident
Mr. Groshens was on his way
to Echo Saturday, with a band
of sheep, which he was to ship
from that point to the sum
mer range m Idaho, aud had
passed the band of sheep a short
time before. E. O. Neill, of Pine
City, who was driving into Hepp
ner, met Mr, Groshens at a nar
row place in the road where both
men had to stop their cars end
exercise some skill and care in
passing. He noticed nothing un
usual in the man's manner or ap
pearance. It was his habit to
carry a 30 30 rifle in the car with
him when on the road or around
the sheep ranges to shoot coyotes
and rabbits with, and it was this
weapon that caused his death.
His friends believe that be may
have seen something to shoot at
and after stopping his car, in his
hurry to get the gun in position
it was discharged prematurely
Deceased was a native of Al
Face Lorraine aud was almost 59
years old. When a young man
he emigrated to America, stop
ping for a short t;ine in the East
ern states. He came to Oregon
and settled in Morrow county 35
years ago aud has always beeu
numbered among the county's
best type of citizens. He was
married to Miss Helen Hitler
j November 15, 1K'J4, and she.with
five child reu. one bon and four
daughters, survive him. Tbe
children are: Mrs. Leonard
Gilliam, Emilo Groshetis, and
Lorraine. Odele and May Grosh

Three brothers.Yictor of Hepp

bim. Three sisters who remained
The following New York dis
patch was pnblished in a recent
issue of the Christian Science
Monitor, of Boston:
Announcement has just been
made here that the cup which
the German Emperor awarded to
the American winner of his
yacht race in 1905 was not of
gold, but was made of pewter,
with a thin veneer of gold, and
worth about $40, instead of
$5000. as was stated at that time.
During the recent Red Cross
drive the cup was auctioned and
reauctioned until it added $125,
000 to the nation's mercy fund.
President Wilson was in the au
dience when the "gold" trophy,
bearing the Emperor's likeness
engraved on the side, was smash
ed with a hammer on the stage of
the Metropolitan Opera House
Persons who desired to see the
cup broken had paid $5 each to
the Red Cross to get on the stage.
The "gold" remnants' were to
have been sold for cash for the
Red Cross, but the dealer to whom
they were offered said they were
pewter. Wilson Marshall's yacht
Atlantic won the race for which
the cup was the prize.
Mrs. Charles Thomson Passes
Mrs. Belle Thomson, wife of
Charles Thomson, a' well known
and highly esteemed woman of
this city, passed away in a hos
pital in Portland at an early hour
last Sunday morning at the age
of about 38 years - - -
She had been in poor health
for several months and went to
Portland early last week to enjoy
a period of rest and change, and
to consult a physician. Her
friends here did not know of the
operation having been performed
until Saturday eveoing.wben Mr.
Thomson received a letter stat
ing tbe facts and saying that tbe
patient was improving rapidly.
Early Sunday morning a tele
cram came announcing her
death.
Deceased was a nativo of Kan-1
sas, where she was born Febru
ary 22, 1 M0. and where her pa
rents aud three sisters still re
side. She was married to Mr.
Thomson March 14. l'JOtt. who
with two young sou, Ellis and
Earl, aged seven and four re
spectively, survive her. Other
relatives in Oregon are Thomas
Culliver, of Hardman, a brother.
and Stacey Roberts, of th s city,
who is an uncle.
The funeral was held in the
Two Portland junk and; hidt
buyers who bad been plying their
trade in the Ritler country last
week, caused Sheriff McDuffee a
lot of hard riding and loss ot
sleep when oDgof the meu'ealled
that official on the phone and re
ported that they had -been the
victims of an attempted holdup
about 30 miles south of Heppner
while returning from .their in
terior trip with heavy loads of
bides.
The man who vias driving the
first wagon claimed that as they
were driving quietly along: the
road a man came running after
them, fired several shots and
ordered them to stop. The fore
most driver whipped up his team
and made his get away, leaving
his partner to his fate, who, in
turn, jumped from his wagon
and took to the brush. The first
man drove on until he reached a
telephone, when he called the
sheriff.
Mr. McDuffee at once took the
trail and put in several days of
hard ridinsr, during which he ran
down every possible clue. The
man who abandoned his wagon
was found next day by the sher
iff about a mile and a half from
the road hiding behind a log and,
Mr. McDuffee says, he was a
badly scared individual, lie was
still speechless from flight, but
after finding that lie had. the
sheriff between himself and the
robber he claimed that he had
been robbed of more than sfvloo
and his watch. The watch, how
ever, was found by the sheriff
near where the man was in hid
ing and had evidently been
thrown away, aud Mr. McDuffee
is convinced that in his fright
the man also cither throw away
his money or hid it to uei p il
away from the robber and then,
A fully equipped uioonsbim
plant "was raided last Saturday
evening in a secluded spot in thi
mountains at. the head of Buttei
creek by federal reveuue officers-
assisted by Sheriff Til Taylor of
L'maliHa county. Residents ot
Heppner who are familiar; with
that section say the illicit plant
was located in Morrow county,
but it seems that the corn meal
.tnd other supplies for the outtii
were drawn from Pendleton and
the output of the plant was most
ly marketed in that direction,
vvhich may account for the fact
of the Umatilla county officiuls
being called into the case instead
of the Morrow county peace offi
cers. Sheriff Taylor it seems was
aware of the fact that a large
quantity of booze was leaking
into his bailiwick and having sus
picions of its source he set depu
ties to watch for' a chance to in
tercept a shipment of the stuff
as it was brought into his county.
In this he was unsuccessful but
lie did succeed in picking up some
valuable threads of evidence as
to the location of the still.
When the raid was made a
sufficient. party of deputies were
on hand to quietly surround the
plant so that the moonshiners
were completely taken by sur
prise. One, supposedly on guard,
was fast asleep with his r i tie be
side him aud the other two. who
were looking after the still, were
4U0 armed.
The still was in full operation
wil li a large quantity of material
in the vats almost ready for mar
ket. About 2! gallons of liquor
as found stored. According to
reports from Pendleton the men
uriosted are Hill I lark, a native
of i hut section of country, and

The service provided for the
occasion is largely taken from the
ritual with the exception of the
principal address which, on this
occasion, was delivered by Sam
E. Van Vactor.
The exercises began with the
singing of "Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean'' by the audience,
this being followed by the build
ing of a floral design of roses, lil
lies and violets as a tribute to the
Red the White and the Blue of
national colors, by the three less
er chair ollicers of the lodge.
Oscar I'.org then read the his
tory of the Flag, in which is
traced from the days of the Pil
grim Fathers the evolution of the
national emblem that proud
standard which is today loved
and revered by more than one
hundred millions of people, the
honor of which is now being de
fended by the country's valiant
sons on the battle torn tieldtf: of
France.
After the singing of "Au!d
Lang Syne" by the audience, a
