the tragedy was not reported until
this morning. Sheriff Taylor was no.
titled after 9 o'clock by phone and
left for the scene soon after in an au-
tomoble. He was accompanied by
Tom Milarkey, nephew of the man
who did the shooting. Until the
sheriff arrives and can make an in
vestigation 1t will not be known
whether Ryan has ended his own
life. whether he has barricaded him.
self in his home and will resist the
officers, or wether he as fled the
country.
Ryan Is Defiant.
At 1880 this afternoon the East
Oregonian received word by phone
from its Freewater correspondent to
the effect Ryan had been seen walk
ing about on hill back of his home,
armed with a shotgun. At that time
Sheriff Taylor had not yet reached
the scene and through fear no one
had made any effort to capture Ryan.
II is feared that he intends offering
resistance and that the sheriff may
have difficulty in capturing him.
Family Left Destitute.
1t was reported this afternoon that
Dixon was a recent arrival from the
east and that he is survived by wife
and six small children. The family
is said to be practically destitute.
Shubert also has wife and four
small children. He has been taken
to Walla Walla hospital for treat
ment, but as his injuries are not Sc
rious he will recover unless blood |
poison sets in.
Aside from Milarkey, those going |
up in the automobile with Sheriff |
Taylor were Coroner Folsom, District |

One man dead, one wounded and
one unaccounted for, is the result of
