Rothway going at Osborne's invitation.

went through Rothway's pockets, but
did not bother Osborne, simply telling
him that if he ever said a word they
would kill him. The highwaymen got
about $50 dollars from Rothway. Os
borne was arrested yesterday and js con
fined in the city jail, he being suspected
of complicity in the crime, but no evi

tells of a peculiar thing that came to
light in his vicinity a short time ago. A
neighbor was having a well dug, and at
the depth of ninety-eight feet a black
walnut log about twenty inches in di
ameter was struck. The log was as
sound as the day it was placed there,
there not being a sign of decay. A piece
of the wood about six feet long was re
moved to the surface and found to be of
the very finest quality and enred to per
fection. When the 'wood was removed
from its position in the well, a plentiful
Hupply of water bubbled up. The owner
of this rare walnut stick prizes it highly.

O. C. Wilson Held Up. Shot and Then
nobbed'
Thursday night a bold hold-up and
robbery, accompanied by the shooting
of the man robbed, occurred here, the
victim being Mr. 0. C. Wilson. Mr.
Wil son is a pleasant-dppearing, intelli
gent young man, who takes the loss of
his money and the injury to himself
philosophically. To our reporter this
morning he told the story of the robbery
as follows :
"I came up from Portland on the boat
Thursday evening, and a little while be
fore 10 o'clock I walked up to the depot
to Bee about purchasing a ticket to Bran
don, Minnesota. I remained at the de
pot until perhaps twenty minutes after
the east-bound train pulled out, and
then started down the railroad track for
the hotel. About a car's length this
side (eaet) of the switch by the electric
Mght plant, a man stepped from behind
a car and presented a pistol within six
inches of my face, accompanying the
action with the words, "Hold up your
hands, arid don't say a word or I'll blow
the whole d d head oft' you!' I had
my bauds in my pockets and in the
pocket was a bunch of keys fastened to
an aluminum chain, and in pulling my
hand out I suppose the rattle of the
keys or the gleam of the chain made the
robber think I had pulled a pistol, and
he fired instantly; The bullet passed
through the skirt of my coat, a sack, and
the pistol was so close that the flesh set
it on fire. He again raised the pistol,
and as he did so I struck it down with
my hand, and this shot was the one
that wounded me. I suppose the shock
rendered me unconscious, for I have no
recollection of the man robbing me. I
crawled over to the electric light power
house, my legs seeming to be paralyzed,
and the engineer telephoned for the
night-watchman and Dr. Logan, who
removed the bullet."
In the course of the subsequent con
versation our reporter learned that Wil
son has a cousin near Hartlaud, Klicki
tat county, named Robert Struthers,
with whom he stopped for some time.
He came from Alhia, Iowa, last May,
and smilingly remarked thai his shoul
der hud been dislocated and an arm
broken since that time, which, with the
present incident, he remarked, served to
relieve the monotony of life in the West.
Ho says instead of going East he will go
back to Hartland as soon as able and
get a new start; that he likes the cli
mate ever there bettor than that of the ,
I'aibx, anynow, aim tuiiiKs it more
healthful even than that of The Dalles.
The bullet struck Wilson on the inside
of the right thigh, passing behind the
bone and lodging under the ekin on the
other side. The wound is not a danger
ous one, and a few weeks will see Mr.
Wilson in good shape again. The rob
ber got $31 ; but a purse containing a
few dollars in change in his hip pocket

remarkably good plays, but was pretty
badly knocked out several times. Wo
