iCHASES WRONG MEN
Sheriffs Get Criminals
Not Fugitives.
But
BEEWATER ROBBERS OUT YET
dSloodliounds Have Been. 'WUhdrawa
'and tho Chase Is Practically at
an End Oaptlve Wanted
In Washington.
iENDIiETON, Or., Aug. 19. (Special.)
tabte fugitives -whom Sheriff Taylor, of
ftjmatllla. County, and Sheriff Kees, of
IWaUa Walla County, have been following
with bloodhounds since Sunday night,
Were captured today near Athena, but to
the surprise and disgust of the Officers
they proved not to be Alfred Cofer and
partner, T?h6 held up the Free-water sa
loon and shot Deputy Sheriff Ritchey,
but two other highwaymen named, re
spectively, George -McDonald and John
Ryan, who held up and cruelly beat a
Swede at Touchet Station. Wash., last
Sunday evening. The way the officers
were drawn on a -false scent was per
fectly natural. After shooting' Ritchey
at tho cabjn near Athena Saturday,
Cofer and comrado headed , toward
Touchet. Sheriff Taylor, who was close
on their track, -notified the Sheriff of
alla Walla to send men to Touchet
Btation. Taylor and Deputy Sheriff
Rourke, of Walla Walla, reached Toucbet
Sunday evening. They had scarcey
reached there when a Swede reported
that he had been held up by two rob
bers In eight of the station. The robbers
ordered him, at the point of their pis
tols, to throw up his hands, but the
plucky Swede had seized one of the pte
jtols, 43 calibre, by the niuszle and a des
toerate struggle ensued, the Swede yelling
jtfor help at the top of his v6lee, and one
jot the robbers beating him over the head
frwith his pistol. Before the Swede was
disabled, his assailants became alarmed
fcmd fled, but without the $70 which was
on the Swede's person.
Instant report of the attack was made
o the oflicers, who started in pursuit
tend, soon overtook tho thieves, opening
pre upon them. The fugitives then took
jto the brush along the . Walla Walla
ERIver and temporarily escaped. The of
ficers had no doubt that the assailants
lot the Swede were Cofer and partner,
kind accordingly the bloodhounds wcro
fcut on their trail Monday morning, re
sulting In the running down and capture
bf McDonald and Ryan. McDonald, who
Was arrested at 8 o'clock this morning
kit the John King ranch, eix miles from
JHellx, admitted that he -was one of the
pnen who assaulted the Swede, and that
IRyaii was -with him, Ryan wa3 arrested
Ht 4 o'clock this afternoon at the Gcrk.
Ing place, near Athena, but he stoutly
flenled his guilt. McDonald claims to be
Jong In Seattle and Ryan in Yakima.
When taken to Athena this afternoon
toey were both identified as the men who
tad breakfasted yesterday at Raymond's
tancb. They were taken to Walla Walla
pn the evening train to answer for tho
holdup at Touchet Station.
Their capture was an excellent, thing,
5ut not exactly oa the programme. Tho
diversion caused, by them crossing the
chase after the Freewater highwaymen
taras exceedingly unfortunate, as It gave
the latter a good chance to get entirely
out of the reach of pursuit -for the pres
ent, but it Is not clear that they did so.
Cofer did double back from Washington
Into Umatilla County and, as Sheriff
Taylor suspected, headed for tho town
of Adams, whero he was seen Sunday
night by a man named Watrus, who
was not aware that tho officers were In
pursuit of him. Since Sunday night
nothing has been seen or heard of' either
Cofer or his partner, and Xt is more than
5irobaJble tha(t they have crossed the
"Umatilla River into tho Blue .Mountains.
"For the present, active pursuit has been
Igiven up, hut deputies and farmers aro
keeping a bright lookout for them.
Sheriff Taylor, who returned here this
evening, says the barb wire fence tele
phone near Helix was of great service to
hhlm in locating McDonald and Ryan.

RUSH FOR SCHOOL LAND
RAILROAD TALK CAUSES GREAT
ACTIVITY IX COOS.
State Has Disposed of Practically All
Its Tracts Many Sales in
Other Sections.
SALEM,- Or., Aug. 19. Special.) The
eagerness with which idle capital is seek
ing Investment In real property that prom
ises to advance In value Is shown by the
sales of stato school land In Coos County
which have followed the announcement
that a railroad will be built to Coos Bay.
Immediately after the report was published
showing that the railroad will probamy
be constructed there was a rush lor cneap
land in that vicinity. Within a few daya
every acre of vacant school land within 35
miles and more of Coos Bay had been
purchased. Some of the land may prove to
be of no value ao a means of Income, out
In the desire to get what there was of
value, men took all there wa3 to be bad.
Tho land cost them but 51 25" per acre, so
the loss could not bo great In any event.
Buying has also been active In Curry
County, and practically all the vacant
school land has been taken.
In anticipation of the creation of the
large forest reserve In Eastern Oregon, all
the school land in tho area covered oy tne
roposed reserve has been bought up.
ome of It Is said to be timbered, add
will be worth what It cost on this account.
That which is not valuable for any other
purpose will become of value the moment
the reserve Is created, for then it can be
used as reserve scrip in tho selection of
lieu lands.
General W. H. Odell, who returned a few
days ago from a trip through Crook, Klam
ath and Lake Counties, says that practi
cally all of the timber land In thoso coun
ties and in Grant, Malheur and Harney
that has a market value has already been
taken. General Odell says that very pros
perous times are prevailing In the coun
ties named, and that there Is every reason
to expect a rapid development of that part
of the state in the next few years. The
Irrigation of arid lands and the draining of
swamp lands will add to the producing
area thousands of acres which are now
almost valueless, but which will then
yield large returns for cultivation. The
reclamation of the land cannot bo ac
complished by men of small means, for the
work of constructing Irrigation canals on
the arid lands or dikes on swamp land
will require the investment ofjarge sums
of money.
