Alf Cofer, Who Is Wanted in Umatill
County, Is Convicted of Murder
the First Degree In New Mexico
Sheriff T. D. Taylor Is in receipt
a lottor from H. C. Klnsell, sheriff
at Santa Fo, N. M.. to the effect that
Alf Cofer. alias Alf Hawloy. wanted
In Umatilla county for the robbery of
tho Kentucky saloon nt Freewator,
August 13. 1002, had been taken to
the New Mexico penitentiary on May
13, to serve a life term for miinier.
This sentence brings to a c'.ose th
carper of a well-known Eastern Ore
gon desperado, and shows tho some
times unerring and dogged pursuit of
the officers of the law.
On the night of August 13, 190
two men entered tho Kentucky saloon
at Freewater and at tho point
their guns robbed H. Key, the proprl
etor, his bartender nnd three custom
era of SI50. Then taking some wni
key, they left the place and disap
peared.
Sheriff Taylor at once went to tne
scene and started in pursuit of the
robbers. On the same night two men
had held up a Swcdo In an adjacent
town, and come across tho mountain,
These men answered the description
of Cofer and his companion and Sher-
Iff Taylor scooped them in. They
proved to bo the wrong men. and by
tho time the posso got back on the
trail the bandits had made a get
away, but not before wounding Tay
lor's deputy, Scott Ritchie, In tho leg.
This was three days after the rob
bery. and the men had taken refuge
In n sheep herder s hut. Taylor was
about an hour late In arriving on the
scene from his trip In with tho other
prisoners and before he could reach
the scene the battlo had been fought
and the escnpo made.
Cofer and his companion now tils-
appeared and nothing was heard of
them for a long time. At last Taylor
read of a robbery In New Mexico and
wrote the sheriff nt Santa Fe. Thl
was about six weeks ago and the let
ter was mislaid. Taylor again wrote,
enclosing a plcturo of Cofor, and yes-
torday received a lettor In reply.
Cofer and an unknown companion
had held up a Santa Fo train in New
Mexico and Cofor wns caught. While
In Jail he and a Mexican prisoner
killed the Jailer In an attempt to cs
cape, but the effort was balked and
both the men brought to Justice. The
Mexican was hanged and Cofer taken
to tho prison to commence the service
of a life sentence on May 13.
Cofor had served time in tho Salem
Institution in 1900, and has a criminal
record In Washington nnd California,
Ho was raised in Pendleton and vl
clnlty and has relatives in this conn
try now. He was a desporato chnr-
acter, always drinking and In trouble
and the last chapter In his career
comes as a welcome relief to tho of
ficers of the country.
