Moi'iiw Sheriff Relieves too Many
Took Part to Effect
Capture Quickly
Sheriff George McDuffee and Ex
Sheriff Shutt returned from Pendle
ton Sunday evening where they both
spent most of last week assisting in
trailing the fugitive outlaws who
broke from the Umatilla county a
week ago last Sunday after murder
ing Sheriff Til. Taylor.
To a Herald reporter Monday
morning Mr. McDuffee gave an inter
esting account of his experiences
during the man hunt and while the
vork was ardurous and the walking
lone too good, said he enjoyed the
trip. The sheriff is well browned
from the exposure and his wristband
indicates that he must be trained
down to his fighting weight.
The two Heppner men were at
tached to a posse that got on the
trail of Jack Kathie whom, they fol
lowed for two days and when they
were about to overtake the fugitive
he ran into another posse to whom
he gave himself up without making
any resistance. He was unarmed
having thrown his gun away soon
after leaving the jail.
'McDuffee said he and E. M. Shutt
were on the go almost continuously
from the time they left Pendleton on
Tuesdr.y to take the trail until they
returned thereSaturday evening alter
learning that all the men had been
captured.
The country where they operated
much of the time is very rugged,
Bteep, brush-covered mountains mak
ing progress of the searching party
necessarily glow while affording good
cover for the fugitives. They were
often far from any habitation and at
times were without food for many
hours. Mr. McDuffee says they av
eraged about one square meal a day
during the week. The posse started
out with a blood hound from Salem
but the dog did not seem able to do
much with a trail probably because
of being used to a different climate
and he was replaced by two hounds
from Walla Walla which did splendid
work.
Mr. MiCDuffe says there were too Ismail amount of hay and some fenre
many men In the woods the multl- j for W. T. MrRobcrts. The loss will

TKNDKD MOTOR TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Anderson re
turned Wednesday from a extended
! motor trip to his former home in
South Dakota where his parents still
reside.
Going east Mr. and Mrs. Anderson
went via. San Francisco, Reno, Salt
Lake and Denver and returning they
came the northern route making a
visit at Yellowstone National Park,
thence via. Boseman, Butte, Spokane
and Pendleton to little, old Heppner,
the best town they visited during the
entire trip.
P. A. says that if he had an enemy
whom he wanted to see punished to
the limit he would ask for no other
sentence other than a life term on
the desert between Reno and Salt
Lake where for more than t00 miles
there is nothing to be seen, heard
loucnea, tastea or innaiett but a
double-distilled extract of misery. On
one stretch of 132 miles between sta
tions the only signs of civilization
were flying lizards, heat and tire
puctures.
After getting into Nebraska they
forgot all about arid deserts and tor
rid heat waves and for a few hund
red miles the big Studebaker skidded
and wallowed its way through mud
and over washouts that made travel
ing something else than a vacation
picnic. At one point they were ob
liged to make a detour of 90 miles on
account of washouts and at many
other places other devious ways were
followed.
P. A. says that South Dakota and
Nebraska had more rain during the
three months just prior to his visit
than they have ever had in any com
bined three years In their past his
tory. About the time they reached his
parents home, however, the rains
ceased and within a few days the
roads were fine and they had a very
enjoyable visit.
The return trip was also very fine,
the roads being fair most of the way
and the weather generally delightful.
During the trip they traversed 10
states and traveled nearly 6000
miles.

McCAHTAX AND 11. DEVEI.IX
OE HEl-rXER TAKE TWO.
Mob Rent on Lynching Men Dissuad
ed hy Sheriff Taylor, Rrother
of Victim.
All of the six desperadoes who
broke jail at Tcndleton a week ago
last Sunday after murdering Sheriff
Til. Taylor, are again safe in jail and
due to t he persuasive powers of
Sheriff W. It. Taylor, brother of the
murdered officer, they were not tak
en from the Pendleton jail last Sat
urday night and given summary pun
ishment by a determined mob of 100
unmasked citizens of Pendleton who
stormed the Jail demanding the lives
of the men who had murdered their
friend.
After breaking in the outer door of
the sheriff's office the mob was con-
fronted by sheriff Taylor who begged
them to desist from their purpose
and allow the law to take Its course.
"You men are my friends and
neighbors," said the sheriff In ad-
I dressing the mob, "You have stood
with me all through this trouble and
II want you to stay with me now. 1
1 don't want you to place me In the
' position of having to resist you nor
; do 1 want you to place tue In the po
sition of failing to do my duty as
sheriff of this county. Wi re my
brother alive tonight you men know
that he would not countenance the
action which you propose to take.
We now have fin adequate law to
punish these criminals as they dc-st-rw.
Lei the law take Its course."
The mob listened to the sheriff's
pli ading and dispersed. Heppner
til'Ml who we re In Pendleton tit the
time preis the belief that probably
no other citizen of Viniitilia county
v.o'iid have been able to db: uade 'ho

MAY ISSUE WARRANTS
IN 1,1 KIT OF
BONDS
In cases whore county courts issue
warrants in lieu of bonds for road
Improvements, bonds may afterward
be sold with which to secure funds
to pay off such warrants, according
to a legal opinion given by Attorney
General Brown recently.
The opinion, was asked hy T. H
Coyne, district attorney of Tillamook
county, who in a letter to the atlor
ney-general sought a strict Interpre
tation of certain provisions of chap
ter 103, Oregon laws of 1913, author
izing county courts of the utate to
issue nnd sell bonds or county war
rants for the purpose of building and
maintaining permanent highways
within the respective counties.
The opinion is said to be of un
usual Importance at this time, aB
many counties which have Issued
bonds for road Improvement' work
have found It Impossible to dispose
of their securetlea because of the un
favorable condition of the bond
market. Under the attorney-general's
opinion, this situation may be over
come through the Issuance of war
rants, which later may be paid off
with funds derived from the sale of
bonds.
