that the man who killed officer Mel
son at Pleasant Hill and Marion
Roush at StrasburG, was Oscar
convict who Rad recently
escaped from the Colorado peniten-
tiary at Canon City. Colorado, says
the Pleasant Hill Times. That Phil
lips was at least of stole disposition
IS indicated in that he held to his
awless course, despite the discom-
'ort of being hunted as one would
lunt rabid dog. In fact, he was
laring to the point of impudence.

lead, he also subsequently received
pistol ball through his head from
ide to side to make quite certain that
lie was through. His back was found
with shot, evidently re-
eived at McCall's and his feet were
'listered from much walking.
