A sensational ra| ture was made
here Saturday evening of a man and
woman long wanted by the authori­

dressed it in his clothes, with his
papers, letters, etc. in the pockets,
for identification, took it to the
Clackamas river and ‘ planted’’ it.
Then he went o n a bunting trip i d ,
that region and “ never returned.’
This was in June. In a few weeks
the body was discovered. It was in
an advanced state of decomposition,
hut the clothes and the papers
found were taken as sufficient
identification and all the insurance
was paid over to his wife.-
Later, parties who know him
claimed that they bad seen him in
Portland, and a search was started.
Since then he has been a fugitive,
