C. B. Gray Commits Suicide.
Coroner Henkle was called to the
southeast part of the county Thurs­
day afternoon to hold an inquest over
the body of C. B. Gray, who was
found dead in the shingle mill be­
longing to H. R. Shelly. Gray lived
about sixteen miles up Coast Creek
near Willamina, but as the Shelly
place is in Tillamook county it was
necessary for our coroner to take
charge.
It seems as Gray had been having
a good deal of trouble with his neig­
hbors in regards to the toad, and had
also been worrying over his Income
tax, and as he was threatened by
some of the men he became despond­
ent. Thursday morning, after having
spent the night at the Shelly home
he tock a small revolver and went
down to the shingle mill, here he sat

This happened between eight thirty
and nine thirty, as bis body was
found at ten o’clock.

Successful Sunday School Convention
The annual convention of the Sun­
day School of Tillamook ^ounty was
held in this city Saturday and Sun­
day, sessions both in the afternoons
and evenings. It was considered a
splendid success from every point of
view, the program being carried out
alomst to perfection.
There was an enrollment of 242
delegates against an enrollment of
176 last year. The delegates of Bay
City are especially to be commended,
as there were 42 who attended each
session both days. The Presbyterian
church was crowded Sunday, and in
the afternoon the roll call was well
answered. Several Sunday Schools
had their banners, and answered
with their texts.
Saturday afternoon Rev. McRea
gave a very interesting helpful talk
on, “How I can get the most out of
the convention.” Sunday afternoon
Miss Parker, the Associate State Sec­
retary, who was sent here on account
of the inability of Mr. Johnston to
attend, gave a splendid address on
"How to make the Bible interesting.”
In the evening she spoke on "Person­
al Responsibilities,” and Mr. B. H.
Jones, the Field Secretary, described
the present conditions of Armenia.
Mr. Jones is the representative for
the Near East Relief, and his address
was exceedingly well received, espec­
ially as the Sunday Schools are ask­
ed to give Christmas presents to the
Armenian, this year. After the ad­
dress by Mr. Jones the solo “The Gal­
ilean’s Shout of Victory,” was sung
by C. J. Edwards, which fitted won­
derfully, well with that part of the
program.
The following were elected as offi­
cers of the convention: Superintend­
ent, Mrs. C. J. Edwards; Assistant
Superintendent, Ira G. Lance; Sec­
retary, Mrs. Arthur Tippin; Director
for South part of county, Prof. E. K.
Barnes; Director of Nouof county,
Mrs. C. L. Alley. Mrs.’ Edwards
laughingly said, “Men may come and
men may go. but I go on forever.”
This makes the fifth term she has
served as Superintendent of the as­
sociation.
Fun in Scott Cage Still Missing
UNDERGROUND STILL RAIDED
Small Amount of
Moonshine Confiscated.
------ o-------
On Sunday Sheriff Campbell, hi-
two deputies, John Aschim and E. W
Perkins, and his son James, made a
raid on the largest still which has
ever been found in the county, being
larger even than the one found near
Blaine in the early summer.
The still was under the garage at
Mohler, and was being operated by
Ace Cook and L. W. Travis, It had
had been in use for two or two and a
half months .and the authorities had
known of it for some time, but had
to work very quietly to And its exact
location. They found a trap door in
the floor of the garage, over which
the cars were placed while being re­
paired. Steps led from the trap door
into a tunnel, several feet in length,
which opened in to large room. This
apartmfent was several feet under the
ground, and a ventilation pipe went
up thru the roof of the garage, thus
avoiding the detection of any escap­
ing vapor. A double coil was used,
also charcoal was used as a purifier,
which had not been found in any
other still here. Three large barrels
of mash were found, but owing to
the fact that the raid was made on
Sunday, and that by the end of the
week most of the supply had been
sold out, they found only a gallon or
so of the finished product.
Travis was brought down by the
sheriff and Cook was taken in cust­
ody, being brought down the next
day by one of the deputies.
Leslie Travis and Entry (known as
"Ace”) Cook were tried by Justice
Stanley, and as the evidence against
Coook was not sufficient to convict
him of moonshining, he was dismis-
sed, Travis being fined $2ij0.
Effenberger in New Employment.
You will notice in another column
of the Headlight that H. F. Effenb-

A few weeks ago the excitement
ran rather high concerning the
Scott case, In which the thift of sev­
eral thousand dollars worth of furs
was involved. Although the supposed
arch conspirator was arrested and
tried by the authorities, the entire
story has not yet been brought to
light. About four thousand dollars
worth of furs are still missing and
no trace of them has been found.
The story starts in Great Falls,
Mont., about eight months ago, when
a fire burned most of the 125,000
stock of W. J. Scott, who was in the
fur business. Betwei n $4.000 and
$5.500 worth of furs were saved, and
Mr. Scott received the compensation
due him from the insurance com­
pany for the loss.
After the fire and the matters con­
cerning it were settled, Mr. and Mrs.
Scott came to Tillamook, bringing
with them tlie remaining fuys, with
which they planned on starting busi­

Relatives of Mrs. Hila Shattuck
Idaho Statesman: "Joining a lot of
bankrupt, near bankrupt, and claim
Jumping nations in a league is like
a prosperous farmer signing a Joint
stud horse note wth a group of neigh­
bors of doubtful credit. His signature
makes it a good note at the bank, and
his neighbors would think It mean of
him to refuse to sign. But when the
note becomes due and some of the
neighbors, or perhaps all of them,
fail to pay tlrlr shares, the prosper­
ous farmer must make good the dif­
ference. The league of nations is a
ttud horse note, and the posperou*
United States lias a good signature.'*
