Every one of the dozen bedrooms in the place, the cellar and the attic were searched for the missing manager, but without avail. No trace of him was found until Sher iff Wilson discovered a door at the end of a long and crooked hall which had -been opened. The merry-makers were rounded up about 3 o'clock and loaded Into the automobiles in the Friar's Club park. Each deputy was assigned to a ma chine, for a time, but it was found there were mora machines than deputies. As a result three of the machines which started from Mllwaukie with the party ld not arrive in Oregon City. Deputies Return for Manager. As soon as the party arrived here Deputies Frost French and Joyner re turned to Mllwaukie. Wilbur, thinking that the officers -had gone for good had returned, but as the automobile with '. the - deputies " approached, he climbed over the fence in the back yard and started to run towards Port land. The deputies started in pursuit "Halt!" yelled French at the top of his voice, but Wilbur only increased his speed. ' ' ' French pulled his revolver and shot Into the air. Wilbur stopped suddenly.
