POLICE BLOTTER A summer cabin located about 13 miles up Willow Creek from Heppner burned to the ground late last week. The cabin was owned by Mrs. Anita Warner, a former Heppner resident who now lives in Lebanon. In past years it had been used by a number of area residents and chruch groups. The cabin owner's son, Tom Stockard of Hermiston, who had been using the cabin as a weekend and summer retreat, said that a quantity of personal possessions, some gold mining equipment and antique motorcycle parts were also lost in the blaze. Only the chimney of the cabin remains standing. Morrow County Sheriff's deputies said the cause of the fire remains under investiga tion. The sheriff's department was not notified of the blaze until Monday. Stockard theorized that the fire had either been deliber ately set, or spread acciden tally from a fire started by persons who may have broken into the locked cabin. A 20-year-old Heppner man was arrested early Sunday morning in Lexington, after he allegedly attempted to elude Trooper Tom Dixon while the state policeman was attemp ting to stop his car for a traffic violation. Charged with refusing to stop for a police officer was Edward Sworsen. Police said Sworsen was pursued by Dixon to Lexing ton, where the suspect left his car and ran to a mobile home. Morrow County Sheriff's 'deputies, who had been aler ted to the chase, arrived at the cene. One of the deputies reportedly apprehended Swor sen as he rounded a corner of the trailer. Deputies last week were called to investigate a colli sion Wtween a U.S. Forest Service truck and a late model compact car on Hwy. 206-207 betweek Heppner and Ruggs. The oiver of the north bound car, Nhan Thai of Heppner,' lost control as he rounded a, corner, deputies said, and vfered into the path of the Forat Service truck, operated byWbert Walsing ham, also of eppner. Thai was cited for careless driving. Police were called to Hepp ner High School shortly after noon Tuesday to investigate a telephoned bomb threat to the school office. Police, teachers and custo dians searched the building, finding nothing out of order. Students had been evacu ated from the building follow ing their return from lunch, when a fire drill was held. School officials noted that bomb threats are common occurrences at many schools, expecially near the outset of summer vacation. However, it has been at least nine years since such a threat was made in Heppner. r MEMCOIRHAIL EDAY FLOWERS, PLANTS & SPRAYS ARTIFICIAL ADDAUCFMFHTS -- m w mmm a aasa m W $6 ARTIFICIAL SPRAYS IN CEMETERY AT PRICES START PEONIES CUT FLOWERS POTTED PLANTS SPRAYS OPill 'TIL NOOU MONDAY, MAY 29 fOB HOtYfJt PICKUP r FLOUJER SHOP Teleflora WIRE FLOWERS ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. OR CANADA HEPPNER 676-9426 New parking policy City worker Winn Crist put up new signs throughout Heppner early this week, marking the start of the city's new two-hour parking limit, adopted in lieu of parking meters.
