' 'In all the world there Is no more thrilling, impressive spectacle it nur tures the wonderful heritage our fore fathers created for us. it puts a glow into the minds of youth, it strikes you squarely between the eyes and reveals the great, living, panting West before you." Til Taylor The story of the murder of Sheriff Til Taylor, beloved Umatilla officer, is told in graphic style, as follows: "In early July of 1920, about the time the great combines were starting to garner the first of Umatilla county's vast golden wealth of wheat, word came into the sheriff's office at Pen dleton of a hold-up staged a few miles east of the city by two bandits with all the earmarks of desperadoes. Taylor j and deputies soon picked up their trail and came upon them near the little hamlet of Rieth in the canyon. Then came a running gun fisht. Deputy Jacob Marin captured tho first bandit who traveled under tho alias of Nell Hart; but his 'partner under the alias of Jim Owens, the more des- tierata of the two. took to tne nuis pursued by Taylor and a hide-and-seek chwse and gun duel, with life and dath the stakes, and odds even, was witnessed by the people of Rieth in the valley below. Playing one another, crouching like panthers, they even tually closed in, Taylor getting the drop on his man. "Uke a flash, Owens with the move ments ff a cat grabbed the sheriffs gun, attempting to turn It on his ap tor, but they did not count on the pow er of Taylor's grip. Most men would have shot his man but Taylor, adher ing to his policy of never killing a map to capture him, soon had the outlaw In tront of him, covered, and jailed him in Pendleton. . fin . hot Sunday afternoon two weeks later, the streets were all but deert"d.
