Last night about sundown word
reached Sherid Noland that a tramp
hud been killed by his fellows on the
bank of tho river near town. Tie imme
diately procured assistance and started
to find the body. On the hank of tin
river opposite Midgcly's planing mill
be found a man lying unconscious but
not dead. His head was badly bruised
and cut, apparently with stones and a
knife. The olllcers brought tho nmn to
the city in a wagon and Dr. T. W. Har
ris attended the wounded man, but it
was not until this morning that ho re
gained consciousness. The officer also
, brought the tramp who gave the alarm
I and who claims he is the injured man's
I partner. He tells tho following story
, They, the injured man and himself,
I had joined each other at Oregon City,
and traveled this far together, camp
j ing night helore last in tho brush
I on the river bank at the point men-
loiieii. i csiemay wlulo they wore
spending the time neaceably four
j others came from town down into
the brush where thev were. This
gang brought along a keg of beer and
the six proceeded to indulge in the same
freely. hate in tho afternoon the
drunken revelry developed into a fight
The last gang outnumbering the others
two to one, naturally came out best in
the melee. Stones and knives must
have been used freely if one should judge
from the appearance of the man most
seriously injured. The narrator stated
that after this man had been beaten un
til he became unconscious, the two were
left alone. He brought water from the
river and attempted to revive his com
panion and failing in this he supposed
that life was extinct and started to give
the alarm. When he was nearing the
flouring mills ho came upon the gang
who seized him and threw him off the
bridge into the race just below the mill.
He managed to reacli the bank some
distance below and again proceeded to
give the alarm as above stated. Tho
doctor think the wounds of the in
jured man ate not serious. The
officers have caught two supposed
members of the irang who com
mitted the outrage and now have
them in custody also. Ono was found at
the depot and resisted, but a tap from
the butt of Sheriff Noland's 44-calibre
pistol reconciled him. The other was
found in the brush, near the scene of
yesterday's fracas by Deputy Croner
early this morning.
The Counterfeiter.
Telegram.
The counterfeit game was stopped in
the nick of time. The participants were
about to play for higher stakes. The
limit was first halves, then dollars, and
was to be raided to gold twenties.
From facts gleaned today, it is alleged
that Nordale was the expert, while Mar
shal and Smith were confederates, or
"shovers," except that the latter was
practically out of it for the last few
weeks, as he and Nordale did not agree.
The method of manufacture was as fol
lows: From a silver dollar a steel die
had been made perfect in detail. From
this was made a plaster of paris cast,
which opened in the middle and had
handles. There was also a small cruci
ble. In this was melted bar tin, and
mixed with it was a certain amount of
silver, antimony and glass. Antimony
made it hard and glass gave the ring.
This was poured into tho mold. It was
then carefully inspected, and with special
tools finished oil' in tiny way needed.
Afterward each coin was put in an elec
tric bath, which gave it tho bright ap
pearance of a new dollar. To show what
was oidered in supplies, one of tho men's
notebooks included a list of things to be
secured in Portland. They were bi-chro-mate
potassium, plaster of yaris, sul
phuric acid, copper, iron and brass wire,
crucible and spoons.
The general impression prevails
around United States Marshal Grady's
ollice that they will not recommend this
method of free coinage to congress, but
tather assume the authority to close
such mints to both silver and gold.
