A man suspected of robbing An
drew Kocher s store at Canby, was ar
rested by Officer Cook Tuesday night,
but he managed to break away and
escape.
Two reports of a revolver about
midnight warned several reruns In
Oregon City that there was something
doing and in a short time a few citi
lens were out to see what the trouble
was all about, but they were too late
to be of service to the officers.
The man the officers were after had
Rotten away from them and had gone
down to the river bank, passing
through the court house yard, where
officer Ely took two shots at the
stranger. The shots went wild and
the fellow got away.
The local officers were first warned
by the officers of Canby that a man
had entered the store of Andrew Koch
er of Canby and that he was headed
toward Oregon City. . About 11:30
Officer Cook, who had been detailed
to watch the railroad track closely
saw the man coming up the track and
at once arrested him. It was seen
that the man had the stolen goods on
his person, but in some way he made
a move and got away from the officer,
running up the track and toward Main
street when Constable Ely, who was
at Main and Seventh streets, took up
the chase. The man was running and
would not stop so he fired two shots,
neither of which took effect. The con
stable followed toward the court
house.
Later it was heard that the man had
been seen near the place of C. B. Fris
sell and the search was continued but
no clue of the man was found.
"Kal" Kocher, a son of Andrew
Kocher, drove to Oregon City Wed
nesday morning to see what the of
ficers had done. When seen, Mr.
Kocher told how the man, apparently
a hobo, of short stature and dark fea
tures, had been lounging all Tuesday
afternoon in the Kocher store yet
nothing was thought of it. "Kal"
went to lodge that evening and the
store was closed at 6 o'clock.
About 8 o'clock one of the residents
of the town wanted to buy some goods
and called at the place where the
clerk, Dan Patch, lived and the two
went to the store. Upon entering the
store it was noticed that thing3 were
pretty well scattered around and on
going further inside razors, knives,
guns and revolvers were seen scat
tered everywhere.
Dan rushed up to the lodge and no
tified Kal who called up the officers
of this city. Mr. Kocher left for Port
land on the noon car where he will
hunt for the man. He says that he
can easily locate him as he could rec
ognize him among a thousand.
"He got away with about $150 worth
Of razors and knives" said Mr. Kocher
"Wednesday noon. "He did not get
away with any money and part of
.the knives and razors were found
Wednesday morning scattered along
the railroad track where the first move
was made to run."
An umbrella identified by young
Kocher was found by Night Chief
Shaw. The thief is said to be a young
fellow and a professional crook.
