He showed fight and received a cut from a knife on his left cheek and was choKed and held until they had gone through his clothes. It was thought his watch was taken but it was afterward found by Mr. Wright and Sheriff Cooke, who were on the scene in a short time, and who followed the tracks until about two o'clock when the search was postponed until Tuesday, when Sheriff Cooke fol lowed the tiacks along the road and across a field to a cross road ihich leads to the Molalla road which they followed until their tracks' were lost in the travel of the Molalla road near Duffy's wood camp.

Wright displayed considerable money while in a business bouse in Oregon City, while paying a bill, and made it known that he was going out to get a bunch of cattle of Mr. Harrington and it is possible and probable that someone heard his remarks and laid for him when he left town. .
