John H. Cradlebaugh, one of the
last of the school of journalists that
produced Mark Twain, Bret Harte
and Bill Nye, died at his home in
Salem last week, aged 70 years.
Colonel Cradlebaugh was compelled
by illness to leave his work on the
telegraph desk of the Saleni Journal
several months ago. Sunday he was
feeling better, but late that night he
had a hemorrhage and his death
was not unexpected.
Colonel Cradlebaugh had a varied
career. He was a native of Ohio, but
when a h'.d came west to Nevada,
where his father was a federal judge,
appointed by President Buchanan,
and it was he who tried the perpe
trators of the famous- Mountain
Meadow massacre in Utah. The son
in the days of Nevada mining was
associated with Mark Twain and Bret
Harte, and, as a miner, with the
Sharons and the Floods, who were
famous in the mining history of the
state. Virginia City and other points
where gold miners thronged, attract
ed Mr. Cradlebaugh anil he himself
amassed a number of fortunes and at
one time is reputed to have been a
millionaire, and he was one of the
first to search Alaska for gold. Col
onel Cradlebaugh followed newspaper
work in Oregon for a number of
years.
He was a kindly man who never
withheld a helping hand from any
person in need and in newspaper
offices he was highly esteemed by
his associates. He leaves a widow, a
step-daughter, Miss Minnie Downing,
and a son R. B. Cradlebaugh who
holds a desk position on the San
Francisco Chronicle. The funeral
will be conducted by the Masons. He
was a member of the B. P. 0. E.
Elks lodge at The Dalles.
Arthur Campbell, Stephen Irwin
where they expect to spend a couple
of months enjoying a vacation.

The Herald is not up to standard
this week as a local newspaper tlie
reason being that Lynn 1'urdin.
foreman in the mechanical depart
ment is in quarantine because of
"flu" in his family. This crippled
the force to a considerable degree but
just the same we are "wtill in the
ring" with enough spare time on
our hands to wish every one in
Morrow county and the whole world
a Merry Christmas and all the"trim
niins" belonging to the day.
Dr. AlcMurdo is on t'-P sick list
again suffering from a severe cold.
Charles .M. Howe, auctioneer
reality and pure bred stock th

aler

Heppner Wednesday.
W. C. Kennedy who ranches on
upper Uhea creek, was looking for
Christmas in Heppner Friday and
found it in a. years subscription to
the Herald.
Fran'k Gilliam met with a serious
accident Sunday morning whie split
ting kindling at his home. The axe,
which was a heavy doublebit and
,very sharp, struck the rafter over
head and was deflected striking him
on the left thumb. The end of the
thumb was completely severed only
for a small shred of skin and nine
stitches were required to repair the
damage.
Harold Cohn, who has been in the
navy for several months where he
was specializing in radio work, re
turned to Heppner Sunday evening
having been honorably discharged
from the service because of the end
ing of the war. Harold is pleased to
be back home again but regrets that
he could not have remained another
three months when he would have
finished the course and received a
commission.
A. M. Phelps received a telegram
yesterday from his son Marshall
who had jtlst landed at Newport
News from France. Marshall, who
is in the air service of the Marine
corps, wired his dad something like
this: Just landed after 14 days on
the water and three months without
pay. Wire me some money quick.
Marshall asked for a thirty day fur
lough to make a visit home when he
landed but was refused and from
that he hopes that he may soon re
ceive a discharge.

An Irish soldier after eight mon
ths of hard, active, service, applied
for a furlough. His request was
granted, and then it dawned on him
that he had no money to take advan
tage of his holiday. He wanted
$100 to go to Paris. Ho was at his
wits end, there being no time to be
lost, when he recalled 'his old moth
er's advice to apply to the good God
above in the time of trouble. So he
wrote aud posted this letter:
"Dear Lord: Here I'm after
fighi.in ten months in mud up,. to my
neck. The wor'i; is somewhat un
pleasant, but ye'll be glad to hear
I killed 50 Germans. Xow, I'm. a
litrle tired ami I have me furlough
all right,, but. I have no money left,
having spent most of what I had for
prayer books. Ask Fr. Tom Mc
Carthy if you don't believe me. ' So
Lord I ask ye in the name of all the
saints for the small sum of $100.
Sure, ye'll never miss it, and if ye
send me the money I'll never forget
yer in my prayers, aud I wil pay ye
back as soon as we get to Berin.
PAT CASEY
In due course this appeal reached
the censor's office, which happened
in this particular locality to be hous
ed in the Y. M. C. A. quarters. Tho
letter was passed around and arous
ed considerable attention and interest
as Casey was known to be a brave
and cheerful fighter.
Contributions were 'sought and
flnaly $50 was raised. This was sent
to the applicant without comment,
in a Y. M. C. A. envelope. The next
day the following acknowledgment
was received:
"Dear Lord: I've received your
$50, and 1 thank ye. May yer shad
ow never grow less. But I make so
bold as to 'give ya a word of warnin.
Send the next money by the K. C.'s.
Ye isent the last by the Y. M. C. A.
and they nipped half of it.
