your life. Half mile northeast
of town Stephens saw a rabbit
hunter, Mr.. Smith. and levyiug

of the negro he halted him, or
tried to, but the coon put on

charge OF forging the name OF Alma

brings to light details OF what was prob

In March. 1900. Williams met Mrs.

Known details OF the supposed trag-

and Miss Alma Nesbett were friends at
Omaha, Neb., and came west together.
They took up homesteads in Wasco
county and lived on adjoining claims
for about year. Then Mrs. Nesbett,
mother Of Alma Nesbett. came out from
the east. The two came to Portland
and took up their residence in the city
for awhile. Finally both returned to
the homesteads.
One dark. stormy night in March, 1900.
Williams engaged rig at Hood River
for the purpose OF driving Mrs. Nes-
bett and her daughter to their home

last ever seen Of them. Williams re-
turned, but Of the two women who rode |
away with him in the wild night no one |

Indicate what their fate may have been.
That they were murdered there is in
