II M Fl Hi Murder in the first degree for the death of .Matt Jepson is the charge against Charles Vanderahe, Freewat cr man. ho was arrested Saturday afternoon about five o'clock near the Or gon Washington line and is now held in the county jail at Pendleton states the East Oregonian. "Talk to my attorney," is the state ment of the accused man when ask ed if he had any statement to make concerning the charge against him. He has retained Ralev, Raley and Steiwer to defend him. The crime fr which Vanderahe is held has been one of the darkest mysteries in the annals of Umatilla county murders, and his arrest is the result of an investigation carried on for six months by the Bums agency. ine pody of matt Jepson, 63-year-old recluse was found in an open cis tern near his dugout on Government Mountain. 16 miles from Milton, Au gust 13, 1921. Near the cistern w ere Jepson's shoes and his hat, apparent- :v p'aced there to lend an air of plau-'v'M'-.tv to a suicide theory, officials hchexed at the time. The finding of . a Moodv a.e in the straw roof of the ' J;iout led to the murder theory, how ever, and when an analvsis of the Mood showed that it was of human ; I origin, this theory was strengthened.! I Hfad Vs Crushed. I The murder was committed July , 24. according to information held by ' county officials. The discovery of the I body was made by Deputy Sheriff Jykes of Milton August 13 after per sons who passed the mountain place noted that Jepson s livestock appar ently had not been receiving any at j tention. The head of the dead man had been crushed, an examination dis closed. The motive for the murder, accord ing to the theory entertained by the i authorities then and now, was re- j venge. Jepson was said to be opposed to moonshining and information giv- ! en by him is said to have been resp onsible for the arrest of Vanderahe, . who on May 23, 1921 appeared in the court of Justice B. B. Richards at : Athena and paid a fine of $400 im r posed on him when he pleded guilty to the charge of operating a still not far from jepson's ranch. He was also given a jail sentence of 90 days which was suspended by the court during good behaviour. Attorney F. A. Mc.Mcnamin went to Arlington on Wednesday, where he was called on business. Rev. F.. L. Moore, pastor of the Federated church, has tendered his resignation, to take effect the first of July. This step was taken by Mr. Moore at the service of the church on last Sunday morning. About 20 young people were en tertained by Baird Patterson at the home of his aunt, Mrs. J. O. Hager on Saturday evening, cards and danc ing being the features, and refresh ments were served.

(rood during operetta practice, as It is held the first period. All eyes were turned toward the bulletin board last week, where hung a picture of all the delegates from dif ferent parts of the state who attend ed the Christian Kmleavor convention at Salem. Among them were our five tieWates. which maJe the picture so interesting to us. The old basketball war between Heppner and Lxinpton grammar schools was ended last Wedensday eve ning when the Leiington grammar school defeated the lleppner boys. Lex-' ington has won two games while Hepp ner has won only one, and so the Hepp ner boys have decided that Lexington is winner and has a better team, Mrs. Oaru, second grade teacher, has returned to take up her work again after being absent for a week. Last Friday the assembly looked rather lonesome, as many of our boys were In Pendleton, and Mr. James dis missed all students at i:20, who had no more classes that day. Several members of the mediaeval and modern history class have been looking rather mournful the last few days. After Inquiring Into the matter we found that they had lost in the con test and that they had to entertain the other side. Those on the winning side were Carl Cason, captain, Bernlce Woodson, Clyde TVitcraft, Helen Wells, Myra Wells. Nellie Flynn, Kathleen Mc Daid, Rachael Schersinger, Francis Poherty, Agnes McDald. Those on the losing side were Philip Mahoney, cap tain, Don Case, Violet Hynd, Dorothy Hill, Dorothy Anderson, James Cla baugh, HaXfel Anderson, Kathleen Ma honey, Helen Curran and Russell Wright The domestic science class served one hundred and seventy five dishes of soup last week. They say girls can't keep secrets, but we'll prove that they can In "The Gyp- Fiover." Raymond Ferguson who has been ab sent from school for a week on ac count of an Injured foot, has again re turned. The sophomore English class has be gun the study of Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities." We hope they enjoy study ing this Interesting classic as much u we did last year. If you want a real picture of gypsy camp life don't fall to see the high school operetta, "The Gypsy Rover." Apparently the Latin jclass was the only busy bunch In Heppner High last ednesday, when as a class assignment they wrote short stories In English and translated them Into Latin. Many chuckles were heard from the mem bers when clasa was dismissed. Last Monday the ancient history class1 period waa given to a debate by mem bers of the class: "Resolved, that a bonus should be paid by the federal government" The debate had been planned and prepared for some time. Each member of the clasa waa required to write a brief. Those taking the af firmative tide were Harold Case, Luola Pengs and Willetta Barratt Those on the negative and winning side were Victor Lovgr.it, Vawter Parker and Elaine Sigsbee. Mr. Heard acted as Judge. 3 STAR THEATER PROGRAMME, MARCH 17th to 23rd INCLUSIVE FRIDAY, MARCH 17th, Eva Novak in 1 "The Smart Sex" Also WINNERS OF THE WEST SATURDAY, MARCH 18th, Antonio Moreno in "Three Sevens" Also Larry Semon in "SIMPLE LIFE," two-reel Comedy SUNDAY AND MONDAY, MARCH 19th and 20th William S.
