The Huttig news., 1909-07-31
Watermelon Party.

About one hundred and fifty res idents of Huttig were royalty en- tertained on Tuesday evening by Messrs. G. s. Prestridge and R J. Wilson with moonlight rlde on flat cars out to the end of the new logging tram being laid south of town, where after several games affording good outdoor exercise were indul~ed in fifty large ice cold watermelons were cut and thor oughly enjoyed. The party left here at Z:45 and arrived home at HOO o'clocb, too full-of water melon-to thank these gente- men in the way they should. It was an evening to be long remem- bered by all who participated.
The Huttig news., 1909-07-31

rode away half an hour later loaded with gold coin and currency.
 Had a stick of dynamite been ex. ploded under the Wickiup there could not have been more excitement at Medicine Bend. Within three hours after the news reached the town B posse under Sheriff Van Horn. with a car load of horsehesh and 14 guns, was started for Sugar Buttes. The trail led north and the pursuers rode until nearly nightfall They crossed Dutch fiat and rode single file into a wooded canyon. where they came upon traces of campfire, Van Horn. leading. iumred from his horse and thrust his hand into the ashes; they were still warm. and he shouted to his men to ride up. As he called out. a rifiecraeked from the 5ox-elder trees ahead of him. The sheriff fell, shot through the head and a deputy spring ing from his saddle to pick him up was shot in precisely the same way; the rosse, thrown into a panic, did not fire a single shot, and for an hour dared not ride back for the bodies. After dark they got the two dead men and at midnight rode with them into Sleepy Cat
 When tae news reached McCloud he was talking with Bucks over the wires Bucks had got into headquarters at the river late that night, and was get ting details from MeCloGd of the Sugar Ruttcs robbery when the superinten- dent sent him the news of the killing of Van Horn and the deputy. In he answer that Bucks sent came a name new 10 the wires of the mountain di vision and rarely seen even in special correspondence, but Hugbie Morrison who took the message, never forgot that name. Bughie handed the mes sage to MeCioud and stood by while the superintendent read:
