Around 60 members from the coastal and Portland areas travel ed by bus from Portland to Biggs, Condon, Heppner, Pendleton and Baker City before returning to Pendleton Sunday. They planned to spend Friday night in Pendleton and Saturday night in Baker City where they were to visit the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. While the tour members said they were enjoying their trip, the journey was m arred by mechanical problems. A wheel on their bus broke on the way to Heppner and the tour was delayed for about an hour. When they finally arrived, they were greeted by Museum director Marsha Sweek and Morrow County Historical Society members, who served the travelers coffee, punch and cookies. There was also time for a brief tour of the museum. Many of the members com mented on the beauty of the Mor row County Courthouse. Accompanying the tour was the director of the Oregon Historical Society, Chet Orloff, his wife, Wendy and their daughter, Han nah, who says that she is four and % years old. Orloff says that this is his third time in Heppner, just this year, and his fifth time in Eastern Oregon. He added that he tries to accompany all of the Historical Society tours. Orloff first came to the society as a volunteer in 1975. He worked his way up in the organization and in 1986 was named assistant director. After a short time away from the socie ty, he was named director a year ago. Also traveling with the group was Charlotte White. Portland, who lived in Pendleton years ago. White had quite an interesting story to tell about Heppner’s darker past. White’s husband Herb, was court reporter from 1953 to 1967 for the district which included Heppner.

According to White, a woman left her husband and fled with her son, ending up in Heppner. Her husband eventually found the pair and sent his at torney to Heppner to bring the hoy hack to him. The attorney at tempted to take the boy from his scout meeting, but was prevented by Abrams, who also happened to be the boy’s scout leader. Since Abrams wouldn't turn the boy over to him the attorney then found the woman at the restaurant where she worked as a waitress and demanded that she turn over the boy to him. She refused and in a struggle shot and killed the attorney. White says she believes the woman is still in prison. • . .V . # iff • • • • • • Kerosene Space Heaters Electric Heaters Creosote Destroyer Window Insulation Stove Pipe Water Pipe Heat Tape We Have What You Need!
