Friday morning about 2 o'clock three
well-known men were held up by four
desperate road agents at a point on the
Sumptei -Bourne road about three miles
below Bourne, and after one of the vic
tims was severely shot in the face, the
robbers escaped with their bootv of
nearly $600.
On Tuesday Bob E9tes, accompanied
by Ed Griffin, a professional dice juggler
or "crap-shooter," went from Baker
City to Sumpter, being en route for the
mining town of Bourne. On Thursdav
these two men hired a team at Sumpter,
and, in company with Lew Estee, drove
the seven miles between the terminal
city and Bourne.
The Estes brothers and the dice wiz
Z'ird, Griffin, then proceeded to make a
cleanup" afthe various "crap" games" in
Bourne. The trio first operated on the
cash in Eight at the table presided oyer
by John Mahoney, resulting in that
sporting man being looser $75 and there
remaining only about $10 in the bank
roll on the table.
They next manipulated the speckled
bones at the crap game of Hank Rader
and W. P. Mullican. At that game they
cleaned to bedrock the "all sorts of
money" on the green cloth, a total of
$125.
About 1 o'clock Friday morning the
three men went out of Fay & Weigand's
saloon and discovered that their team
had been cut loose from tho sleigh,
which stood where they had left it with
no means of speeding it over thu roade.
Ed Griflin remarked, "there must be
something wrong and we had better
leave town at once." The three men
who were entirely unarmed, started on
foot for Sumpter. When they had
reached the old Eir.obold & Young
Hume, which crosses the road some
three miles south of Bourne, they saw
i sleigh coming up behind them. A
Swede, who was hired as driver, and
Spud Murphy rode on the driver's srat,
Hank Rader and Mulligan in the sleigh.
Low Estes hailed tho night travelers
with, "Give us-a ride." Mulligan rose
up in the sleigh ordering "Throw up
your hands." Bob Estes, who had most
of the cash, started to run, when Mul
ligan shot at him with a 45 calibre re
volver, the big ball striking Estes on tho
left cheek bone, und, glancing backwurd
split his left ear. Griffin then cried out
'Wo had better give up," and Hank
Rader, while Mulligan kept the victims
covered with his sixshootei, went
through their pockets and took all their
money, a total of .f 000.
The robbed men were taken to Sump-
tor, and the wounded Bob Estes placed
under theearo of Dr. G. W. Tape.
Shcrlir Kilbourn was notified and yes
terday about noon, with a determined
posse, loft Sumpter after the robbers.
Later reports statu that tho robbers
have been captured.
