Tug-of-war
contest
It is rumored that lumber
mills in the Cottage Grove area,
east o f the Coast Fork Willa-
mette River, are getting together
a 15 to 20 man tug-of-war team
for a contest during Centennial
week.
The easterners are eying a
victory over a tug-of war-team
from lumber mills west of the
river. The eastern team, howev-
er, plans to keep its plans a se-
cret so it can present a challenge
without giving the westerners a
chance to gather up their rope
tuggers and have a practice.
A hot tip from an unknown
source disclosed this secret.
Now West Cottage Grove mills
have a chance to round up a crew
and prepare for a tough tug-of-
war. The eastern boys say they
have a pretty rugged bunch of
loggers that couldn’t be pulled
into the Willamette River by all
the donkeys west of the rockies.

Five days later, the young sol-
dier died.
So by the time Holden had
arrived in Portland, he wasn’t
what he once had been — what
the FBI assumed he still was.

No dashing sociopath was he,
but a lonely, broken old man,
eking out a perilous living at
hard labor, living paycheck-to-
paycheck in a trailer park. He’d
lost everyone who’d known and
cared about him, all through his
own doing — through murder

or through neglect. He was a
walking, talking cautionary tale
for any young buck thinking of
embarking on a life of crime.
So now, caught at last and
for the fi nal time, looking tired
and resigned to his fate, Holden
signed the extradition papers
that would send him back to
Chicago to stand trial for the
triple murder. With his sister-in-
law’s testimony, it was not a dif-
fi cult case for the prosecution to
win. He was sent to the Illinois
State Prison, knowing it would
be his home for the rest of his
life.
It was. He died there, just two
years later.
