Wounded Outlaw Conveyed Over Five Hun.
Gred Miles on Stage Over
RoUoh Ronds.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. ia stage
ride OF 545 miles over rough mountain
roads with thirty-six No. shot pIante in
different parts of ones body is in
experience likely to be avoided,
yet this Is what was endured
by Albert Wilson, the captured
robber who on Saturday last was shot in
the hold-up OF the Paisley Postoffice in
Lake County. Wilson had companion,
who, though wounded, managed to reach
his horse and escape. The prisoner also
rea ched the timber and dragged himself
TO camp which the robbers had occupied
while awaiting the proper time for the
holdup, Here he was found by Deputy
United States Marshal Wharton, who had
trailed him by blood tracks.
wilson was very weak, both from loss of
blood and fever incident to numerous
wounds. He had received the contents of
both barrels OF shotgun at short range
he made no resistance. even willingly ac-
companying the officer into Paisley.
After four days of surgical attendance
at that place the journey of 545 miles by
stage and rail to bring the man TO
prison was begun. Wilson was placed
on stretcher and the stage so ar
ranged as TO allow the wounded prisoner
to lie at full length. Many of the shst
had taken effect in Wilson's face, and
during the journey the officer was
called upon 10 act rs a surgeon and
which. having struck the robber' $. frontal
bone, had not penetrated deeply. On ar.
irving in Portland Wilson was at once
taken to the County Jail. where he will be
under surgeons care until able TO an

belongings and settle down at their new
home. On arriving at Cloverdale, the
rancher went to Albertz Winery and drew
his $500. There he was met by Mrs.
Caldwell, and an animated conversation
ensued. Dixon was seen going down the
road afoot at this time, but his where
abouts since is shrouded In mystery.
Mrs. Caldwell was mounted on a good
horse and from the winery went toward
her home. On Sunday morning she man.
aged to secure the possession of Dixon's
little girl and mounting her fleet horse,
with the child before her, fed to Heads
hurg. Here she was arrested for abduc-
ton. She secured her release on bonds
and engaged prominent Santa Rosa at
tornev to defend her.
The case is involved in deep mystery at
present and rumors of all kinds are atioar.
One report is that Dixon has been found
IN Fulton, and that he refuses to make
any statement rs to his alleged desertion
OF his bride of twenty-four hours.
Mrs. Caldwell is favorably known in the
northern end of this county, and claims to
have authority from Dixon for taking the
child.

COL UMBIA RIVER BOOMING.
Touns Are Inundated and Buttdings

Totrns Are Inundated and Buildings
LereIed by the Flood.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 16.-The dam
age by wind and high water as result OF
the four days storm over the Northwest
is widespread. Snow fell in the William
cite Valley for four hours to-day, and it
has been showing heavily at intervals
since last night. Front street is partly
flooded and considerable damage has been
done TO goods in wholesale houses.
All of the up-country streams are rising
at an alarming rate, and thousands OF ool-
lars damage is reported from the agricul-
lural districts where bridges and farm
houses Lave been swept out by the flood,
compelling residents to take TO the hills
for safety.
All overland trains are delayed from
twelve TO twenty hours by washouts.
There are several -washouts on the South
ern Pacific road and passengers and mail
are being transferred over Santam River
in Southern Oregon.
The Colum bia River is sweeping every
thing before it and is spread far beyond its
banks below Portland. For this time of
year the flood is unprecedented, and it
finds many farmers on the lowlands ad-
jacent to the Columbia i'll prepared for it.
Cattle are being lost and it is impossi-
bic TO guess at the amount of damage
done. In this city all lighting and electric
car power systems were tied to-day as a
result of the srorm. 1t is expected that
the waters will begin to recede tomorrow.
Dispatches from Columbia River points
tonight say that several river settlements
are under water from two to ten feet, and
barns, pieces of bridges, fences and thou
sands OF logs are being swept down stream,
making navigation on the river dangerous.

Armv BulIets For Game.

Something for sportsmen to consider
seriously, if they intend to get one of
the new 80 caliber army rifles, is the
great penetration of the bullets. One of
the bullets would kill a man through a
four foot spruce tree or a COW a mile
and more away. No ordinary tree can
be depended ON to stop one of these bull
lets, and it might easily travel half a
mile through dense woods and hit a
man far out of sight with deadly effect.
