unexpired term Of his brother Til

Of the office and Is now directing the
manhunt from the county court house.
A reward Of $4,000 has been offered
for the capture Of the criminals. One
thousand dollars is offered by the city
Of Pendleton for the capture, dead or

$500 for Rathio and $500 each for Pc
terson and Anderson, with $500 ad-
ditional for the capture and convic-
tion Of the man who shot Sheriff Tay-
lor.
Many officers from all over the
state, including detectives from Port

ground, seeking the hiding place Of
the criminals. Various clues have
been followed in an effort to capture
tho outlaws, but none have resulted
in success, to date.
There 10 no doubt but that Hart and
Owens will be captured, but in all
probability they will be taken at
