to be in a condition of impending
maternity. He mentioned the case to
his father and brothers, the latter Of
whom charged him with being the
author of bis own daughters ruin.
This 90 exaggerated Sewer Lewis that
he shot his brother dead before bis
fathers face. and then fed from the
scene of his crime with the stain of sin
on his brow and the curse Of Cain on
his soul. Rewards we're offered and
three parties went out in quest Of the
culprit. but he eluded their vigilance
and has not since been heard from till
last Sunday night at . late hour.
In the meantime, his crimes had been
pretty much forgotten by the Coos
county people, and he supposed him
self safe. Sunday night however, .
man named Clay Perkins, from Eu-
gene City. was sitting in the offics-room
Of the American Exchange Hotel in

the proprietors. Just then q man
known as George w. Harmon entered,

who were present. attracted the atten-
ton of Perkins, who proposed to Haley
that they should follow him up They
tracked him to the Vanity Fair beer
hall. whence they traced him to the

One of them kept watch Of the house
while the other went over and woke up
Sheriff Wyckoff When the three en-
tered Harmon's room, he was lying in

into the middle of the room on the floor.
Wyckoff then made him get up and
dress himself and come to Jail. He
denies oil identity with Sewer Lewis,
but it is impossible for Perkins to Be
mistaken. Our reporter, who lived
over three years st Coos Bay, does not
remember having met Lewis and would
not try to swear to bis identity. But
there are two men at LAConner--Dr.
