TELLS ROBBERY STORY :
Says He Was Attacked Hy Masked
Highwaymen Who Shot lliin
TiiiDiigli the Aim and
Took His lmcy.
After telling that ho had been
held up hy two masked highwaymen
and giving his story in detail. Noble
Dunlap, of Yoncalla, who was hist
night '.shot through the arm. ad
mitted that he did the shooting him
self. The confession followed a con
ference with Sheriff Quine, who went
to Yoncalla last night after receiv-;
ing word of the alleged shooting, i
After hearing the story of Mr. Dun-1
lap. Sheriff Quine became convinced
that the man was telling the story in
order to obtain sympathy ami aid
and gave hhn the "third degree' j
during which he admitted that the
suppositions of the sheriff were cor
rect. He has been employed at Yon
calla as a carpenter for some time j
and it is thought that he committed i
the act in order to arour.o the sym
pathy of residents and acquainances
so that ho might secure money from
them.
According to the story told by
Dunlap he started out on the Pacific
highway for a short walk after his
evening's work and hud reached a
point about a mite and a half north !
of Yoncalla when he was attacked by
two niasfted highway men, evidently
hoboes, who leaped .from the heavy ;
brush which lined the road at this
place and commanded him to throw i
up his hands. j
He says he started to comply and'
then remembering that he was car-1
rying a revolver lie dropped his hand
to his pocket when one of the men
commanded the other to fire. "Shoot t
him in the arm," are the words which
i r. Du nla p sa i d were u sod. The
companion who was holding the guu
quickly complied, according to the
story which "he told upon 1eing '
brought to this city. After beimj shot
Mr, Dunlap says bo was relieved of
$2S in cah and Mso his watch and
other possessions. !
Following the shooting, which ac-t,.Tii,-
r. r-0 at the place describ
ed, the injured man made his way
to a nearby farmhouse where he told
his story and was brought to Yon- .
calla where he was given medical at-
tmtion. The bullet passed thro, gh
the fleshy part of the arm on the
inside between the shoulder and el
bow. A temporary bandage was
made at the farmhouse, and the
wound was carefully attended to by j
a physician at Yoncalla.
M r. Dun la p i ni med lately made
known hi story, pivintr many details
In regard to the occurrence. His
Ptory, however, arohsed suspicion in j
t be minds of several, who notified t
Sheriff Qu'ne In regard to the oc-f
eurrenee. The sheriff left on the :
train shortly after 1 1 o'clock last j
night and about two hours after the'
shooting. After listening to the story
and making a careful pcarch of the
road in the vicinity of the alleeed at
tack the sheriff became suspicious
and questioned the man minutely in
regard to the occurrence. 1'nder the
examination Dunlap gradually weak
ened, contradicted himself several
times and finally admitted that he
ha shot himself. He refused to make
known his reasons, but it is surmis
ed that he believed he could obtain
money by doing so. '
He is a man about 4T years of
age and has been living for several,
years with his mother at Klkhead.
Only recently he went to Yoncalla
and engaged in the carpentry busi
ness there. He has been camping
near t h 1 city an,i as far as is known
has aways been a good worker.
