Leaves Half a Months Wages
and All Personal Effects-
Believed to Have Became
Temporarily Insane.
Charles Hubbard, tbe Heppner-Monu-
rnent itage driver, who to suddenly
disappeared Sunday morning, baa not
yet been beard from and an air of
mystery shrowds bia departure.
The mystery ia not aim ply the (act
of bia going away bnt the condition!
under which be went.
Mr. Travis, the manager of tbe stage
line, reports that be paid Hubbard a
months wages Saturday which amounted
to $39.10,, after he bad deducted some'
thing like $15, which Hobbard bad
drawn on account. On investigation it
was ascertained that tbe atage driver had
spent all but about $20 of bia month':
wages before leaving town.
It appears that Hubbard bad made
preparations aa usual Sunday morning
to take the atage out, having harnessed
bis team and greased the wagon and
tut bis overshoe and coat in tbe back
This being done be went to one of tbe
saloons on Main street, and was lat
by Marshal Gurdane about eix
o'clock going in tbe direction of tbe
stable.
The fact that he bad paid a week's
lodging in advance, at tbe Pacific lodg
ing house, and left his wraps on tbe
wagon, also leaving a half a month's
wsces due from tbe atage company, is
where the mystery of bia disapperance
comes in.
When seen by tbe marshal Hubbard
did not appear to be intoxicated and
was going in the direction of the stable
where his team was kept.
About the only plausible theory ad
veance of bis sudden leave, under ex
ifelins condition , ia that bia mental
faculties became temporarily unbal
anced. Although the marshal and
sheriff have exhausted every effort to
locate him bis whereabouts remains a
mystery.
I it Tuesday, a little lady took up
her residence -at the borne of Ralph
Benge. Ralph ia Justly proud of the
young lady.
Tbe quarterly meeting of tbe Metho
dist church was held Sunday. Rev. II.
Sbangle, presiding elder, preached
both morning and evening.
Geo. Allyn and wife returned from
Portland last Wednesday. They hope
to have tbe little boy with them soon,
as he is regaining bis health rapidly.

M. E. church when a mere child, and
her character was worthy of emulation.

the whole affair appears to be a farce.
It appears that Mr. Heath and a
partner are timber locators, and that
about a year auo they located some
Everett parties on claims in the moun
tains south of Hardman. Afterwards
these parties became dissatisfied and
wanted their money back which Heath
refused to refund, and bence tbe present
trouble.
Heath, who ia reputed to be a good
citiaen in bia neighborhood, feels con
fident that ba will be able to prove tbe
ibarge wholly unfounded.
Social Enterainment.
At the close of their lodge meeting,
held last Wednesday evening, at which
two candidates were initiated into the
mysteries of the order, the Degree of
Honor gave a social entertainment at
which a couple of hours were very
pleasantly spent. Among the features
of the occasion worthy of special note
were a solo by J. A. McKee and a duet
by the Misaoa Carr and Driskell.
At the conclusion of the musicale a
splendid luncheon was spread which
was enjoyed very much. The com
mittee on enterlainim nt was Mrs J. K.
Carr. Mrs J. L. Yeaner and Mrs W. P.
Scrivner, who have the thanks of those
nresent for the royal manner in which
they were entertained.

B. F. Thomson, our school teacher

reason the Heppner coal mines having
coal in town to take tbe place of the
slim" wood pile.

NOTES FROM GOOSEBERRY

OREOON
Cattle Thieves at Work.
Tbe Canyon City Eagle reports some
cattle steeling in tbe locality of Long
Creek recently.
The animals taken that are known
to the present date were as follows:
Three steers belonging to Dan Blaven,
one cow belonging to W. B. Mynatt,
one three-year-old steer the property
of Frank McGirr and one cow belonging
to Ted Hansen. On the date mentioned
(our of these animals were stolen from
the pasture of W. B. Mynatt. and two
from tbe pasture of C. C. Blackwell
each reiidenta near Long Creek. On
the night the cattle were stolen two
men were seen by Stephen Harer driv
ing a small bunch of cattle, and these
cattle are supposed to be tbe ones
stolen. They were driven toward
Pendleton, but what became of the
stock is not yet known. The animals
were all in prime condition for beef,
and it is likely they bare gone over
some butcher's block ere this.
The whistle of tbe plow boy is beard
on every band ; such fine weather I Oh
my 1 no wonder be whistles.
