How Deputy Sheriff Ives Avenged
Coles Murder.

How Deputy Sheriff Ives Avenged
Coles Murder.
In last Sundays REVIEW was
published an account of the killing
last week by Deputy Sheriff Ives of
one of the murderers of Freightor
Cole, who was killed on the Col
Vile reservation some six or seven
weeks ago.
The following in relation to the
matter is taken from the Okanogan
Outlook of last Friday:
"lt is about seven weeks since
Cole, the freighter, was murdered on
the reservation by couple of In
dians and his body hid in some
rocky recess in the mou tains. Dill
igent search was made by relatives
and friends without avail, aud all
hopes of ever recovering the body
had been abandoned until recently.
1.-The truth of the old saying that
murder Will out has been borne
out In the present case. The In
dians, against whom there was none
but crcumstantial evidence, let the
cat out of the bag to some of their
tilicums.
'Sherifi Rush had antici pated this
very thing, and about week ago
he had in his possession evidence
sufficient to warrant their arrest.
Accordingly he deputized Thomas
Humphry aud Lee Ives to secretly
go and locate the Indians, aud in
tended, rs soon AS they had done SO,
to go and capture them.
Friday morning Humphrey and
Ives got on their trail In the
Meth ow, but the Indians had re-
ceived warning and fled to the We
natchee, and from there across the
Columbia river and back on to the
reservation, hiding first In one illa-
he and then in another. by the aid
of friendly Indians the boys were
enabled To keep ON their trail, and

A SHOCKING DEATH.
An Oregon Woman Crushed and
Burned to Dsa.h.

PORTLAND, or, Dec. lO.-One of the
most horrible accidents which has oc-
CURED in these parts for a long time Is
reported from Pleasant Home, a little
village six miles from here. a farmer
named Eccerson was engaged in clearing
land, and was burning up heavy logs u
few days ago. While he was thus en-
ployed his wife came out from the house
TO see him for some purpose. She
stepped on log which was nearly
burned in two. As she did SO her weight
caused the log to part. The log was on
a side hill, and when it broke the pieces
rolled down the incline. The woman
fell on the lower side, and one oil the
heavy pieces rolled on her and held her
fast underneath. She was lying on her
back, and her upturned face was under
the end of the log which
was still ablaze, Goals and hot ashes
dropping down on her face. Her hus-
band for moment was paralyzed with
terror and unable to act. Then arousing
and finding he was unable to remove
the log from the form Of his wife, he
ran half mile for help.
When he and another man came back
IL was found they could do nothing
without an AK, and SO Eccerson had TO
go hail IA mile back for one.
Finally the log was removed, and the
mangIed and now lifeless form of the
unfortunate woman was taken to her
home. IL is likely she was instantly
killed when the log first fell on her head
and breast. Her face was badly burned
by the fire which fell upon IL.

the law is unable to reach them. 1t Is
practically useless, so we have framed
