M. L1CHTENTHAL SUICIDES.
Cause For Rash Act Is Not
Known. j
Mat Lichtonthal, for ilx years treasurer
of Morrow County, and a business man
of Heppner for many years, shot him-1
self in his bed room in this city shortly
before 9 o'clock yesterday morning.
The shot was fired from a 41 Colts
revolver, the ball entering the right
temple aud ranged upward and forward,
lodging against the skull in the top ol
the bead, from where it waa removed
by Drs. Higgs and Kistner.
The ball was removed between 11 and
a o'clock and everything possible done
by the physicians to revive him but be
never regained consciousness, dying
about I p. m. The ball plowed through
the upper part of the brain, and strik
ing the upper part of the skull, tore it
loose all the way round, but the ball
did not psi out.
Yeaterdav Mr. Lichtenthal came up
to tewn aa usual and swept out bis
store, then made out a check in favor
oftbe County Treasurer-elect, E. G.
Noble, for something like $27,000 the
amount of money he bad on hands be
longing to the county, and made other
arrangements necesssry in turning the
office over to bit successor.
Thia being done he went direct to
hit borne. Mrs. Lichtenthal, noticing
that he acted strangely followed him to
the bed room, but be demanded that
the leave the room or he would kill her,
having the revolver in hit hand at the
time. Bhe immediately ran for Mr.
Prater who was painting near by, but
befor ht could reach the house the
fatal shot bad been fired, A number
ot near by neigh bora beard the ibot and
hastened to render what assistance they
could. He had evidently stood in front
of the mirror and deliberately took
deadly aim.
The remains will be held until to
morrow for interment when tbey will be
laid to rest in the Heppner cemetery
under the auspicet of the I. O. O. F.
and other lodges of which he was
member.
He leaves a wife and three daughters,
one or wuoni it married, and two
brothers In Chicago. Hit family It well
provided for.
The cause oi hit self deatruction it
not apparent, at it it believed that hit
account with the county la perfectly
staight. It hat been intimated that
family troubles wat tht cause, and that
despondency over defeat at the recent
election lead him to commit the ratb
act.
WILL EHIDIT RESOURCES
of the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission,
has revived a considerable Interest among
our people In regard to an exhibit.
These gentlemen were here for the
special purpose of interesting the cititens
of Morrow county In an exploitation of
the county's resources, and to gut the
matter atarted a mass meeting was held
at the court house Tuesday evening to
discuss the proposition with our people.
While there was not a large gathering,
owing ta the short notice given, there
was a sufficient number of representative
citizens to get the ball started to rolling.
Messrs Myers and Harry explained
that they were making tour of the
state, and especially making a strong
plea with interior and sparcely settled
eonntiesto make extraordinary efforts
for a magnificent display of their re
sources at Portland next year. The
reason for this is apparent This section
Is capable of supporting large popul
ation; it la practically unknown to the
outside world for lack of advertising :
the development of thlt vaat Eastern and
Central Oregon section la of vital Im
portance to the prosperity of the state,
hence the great effort of the fair com
mission to induce this and other Eastern
Oregon counties to gather the best ex
hibit possible for the Lewis and Clark
fair.
Mr. Myers also stated that there teems
to be an idea prevalent throughout the
state that the fair la for the sole purpose
of upbuilding Portland. But, said he,
while Portland Is striving for ber own
upbuilding she does not overlook the
fact that upon the development of the
tributary country depends the growth
and prosperity of that city, henc her
piople are at much interested in the
development of the entire state as the
people of the various counties and dis
tricts are themselves.
Eavery county of the state will be
given ample space for their products free
of charge and everything possible will
be done by the commission to make the
expense of collecting the exhibit.
It was suggested that the county court
he asked to appropriate a turn sufficient
to cover the cost, which should be small.
After a thorough discussion of the
matter It waa decided to organize a club
at once, as the necessity of commencing
the collection of an exhibit at once is
very appareat.
judge T. w. Ayers waa chosen as
chairman and R. F. Hynd secretary,
and a committee of five waa appointed
by the chair to solicit membership
The meeting then adjourned to yeater
day evening.
At the meeting last night permanent
organization wai affected. Judge Ayers
remains as president and C. E. Woodson
secretary of the organization, Mr. Hynd
asking that he be relieved on account
that he will be away during the next
three months.
A. committee of three, consisting of
Jndge Ayers, Commissioner Geo. Conser
and Mayor Frank Gilliam waa appointed
to look after the collection and care of
grass and grain exhibit, which it Is
necessary to gather at once.
So any farmers who have either grass
or grain suitable for exhibition are re
quested to leave the same in the care of
this committee who will forward it at
the proper time to the fair free of charge.
The only expense Morrow county will
be to in msking an exhibit will be that
of getting it together at the fair com
mission will pay freight charges, furnish
jars for preserving fruits, give free space
in tht agricultural building and properly
display it.
