MURDERER STILL AT LARGE.


Roseburg, Or. Jan. 27.-News comes
tonight from Myrtle Point that the muir
derer, Sam Brown. has again eluded his
pursuers. Friday night he stayed at a
ranch near Gravel Ford, twenty-five
miles east Of Myrtle Point. Much ex-
hausted, he left there early Saturday
morning. Sheriff Gage, who was a short
distance behind tracked him to the
junction of the east and north forks of
the Coquille river, and found where he
had rolled a five-foot log into the river
and evidently embarked. A log. supposed
to be the same. was found lodged a short
distance below, but no trace OF his hav-
ing getting ashore. and 1t Is believed he
has been drowned
Another theory is that this is a ruse
to mislead the officers. Andy Pool, held
on the charge of assisting Brown to es-
cape, waived examination, with his bonds
fixed at $500

distributed. The assurance Of the sue

Furthermore, an easier tendency of
