Ian, an old-time desperate. who has done time
at san Quentin and alse in the state penitentiary
at Salem, made his escape from Constable
Lewis, of AIbina, this morning while being
taken from justice court to the county Jail.
Mcmillan had attempted TO kill his father with
Ratchet and brother by throwing rocks down
on him while the latter was in well. Justice
Moreland, of Albina, bound him over to appear
before the grand jury. Constable Lewis had got
but short distance with his man when Nc
MILAN lodged into Chinese laundry and slam
med the door in the'onieers face. The officer
tried the door, but inding that it was letehed
on the inside, and desiring TO capture his man,
he jumped through a window, cutting his fare
frightfully. Mcmillan, however, escaped
through the rear and made his way across the
river. Although the police on this side are look
ing for him, he has not yet been found. Con-
stable Lewis face, covered with court-plaster,
looks like crazy quilt. Mcmillan once made
his escape from the county Jail here by conceal
ing himself in a stove.
