oclock this afternoon by Night Watch man Julius Wiley and Acting Deputy Sheriff William Spencer At the Coroners Inquest this evening the facts Vere developed that Hessey and one Frank Williams fell In together at Troutdale and tramped it to The Dalles reaching there yesterday morning From the conversation of his companion Williams became convinced he was the man who escaped Sunday right from the Clackamas County jail and last night Williams informed a Po liceman of his suspicions and asked If a reward was offered A telegram as sent to the Clackamas county Sheriff and the description returned tallied with Williams companion This afternoon Officer Wiley Coroner Butts and William Spencer started for the east end of town where Hessey and Williams were camped Just beyond the Wasco warehouse the ofllcers came upon the men and after some short parleying ordered Hessey to throw up his bands Hessey Immediately drew his revolver and leveled it at Coroner Butts but before he could discharge

was prominent In social circles attended all society events and was decidedly pop uar His examination before Judge Brown occupied several days A letter was admitted in evidence written by Chapman to President Page of the Cotatl Land Company In which Chapman said I fully realise the enormity of my wrongs and can offer nothing in extenuation thereof I jdeserVe the most ue vre punishment and all that prompts me at this moment to beg for mercy is In consideration of those who are near and dear to me Justice Brown stated that his principal reasons for holding Chapman for trial ere based upon Chapmans own admissions Chapman has given bail DAVID OPPENHEIMER DIES AT VANCOUVER The mystery surrounding the case of the unknown man who committed suicide In the Union Hotel at Sonoma on Wednesday last Is stllT unsolved He was known In Sonoma by the name of Sydney Johnson and on one ocea sion he responded readily to the name of Captain Stone on being addressed by a man who met him on the road This man is positive that he knew the dead man in Yountvllle Inquiries In Tountrtlle have proved fruitless and nobody by the name of Captain Stone Is known to have resided there At the time of his death the deceased as wearing a pair of pants made by Charles Sorensen a tailor whose place of business is at 422 Post street Mr Sorensen when seen to day said It has been my custom for many years to sew into the watch fob of all pants made by me the name of the party who ordered them on a linen slip This name is written In marking Ink and Is not likely to be effacedtunless the clothing is scoured I do not remember a man of that name ordering clothing from me during this year and my books do not show that he ever did so Christiansen assistant to Charles Sorensen said I remember a man who gave his name as Sydney John son ordering a pair of pants here last spring He was a rather tall clean shaved man and was exceptionally well dressed Two days after giving his order for a pair of striped pants he called here snd changed his clothing putting on the new pants we had Just made for him He appeared to have plenty of money with him at the time and signed the re ceipt for the clothing with the name of Sydney Johnson The dead man claimed to have an Intimate acquaintance with James Carroll who was formerly boxing instructor of the St Georges Club on Mason street but on lnqufry It was ascertained that Carroll has no knowledge of such a man and does not remember to have ever heard the name Johnson also claimed to have been at the French Hospital for treatment but an examination of the booas of that institution does not throw any light on the matter as no person by that name has been treated there last year The Marshal of Sonoma has bad photographs of the dead man printed for circulation and a full description of the deceased accompanies eaoh picture Chief of Police Lees has the matter in hand for Investigation and hopes to be able to clear up the stery shortly Of all the acquaintances Johnson made In Sonoma Humphrey Hill was probably the most intimate with him They often took long walks together and Hill narrated his own personal history in hopes of drawing out Johnson but his efforts were of little use for neer a word did the mysterious man drop tnatmlgjit lead to his identity Wherever he went he always had a crowd around him and In saloons called ip every one to drink with him If any one refused Johnson felt slighted and yet if they only drank a glass of water wun mm ne was content In this way and on chance acquaintances he spent large amounts of money Johnson had three scars on his body one over each eye and one on his breast He ne er said however how they had been recel ed He was very conversant on al lsportlng news He knew good horsAg and frequently narrated stories of prize fighters and their success the ring When questioned concerning his Identity he always said If you want to know who I am send down to Chief Lees He will tell you He claimed Lees as a great friend and spoke of him frequently He never made the acquaintance of any women but showed such deference to them that when one passed by he would often stand by with uncovered

Gulch Mr Schuet ser Is a thrifty German and several years ago purchased a small plat of tana and commenced growing vetreta bles and fruits to sell at the mines operating about French Gulch This went wen for a time but things changed nd finally the Chinese had the trade Schuetser was forced to turn his attention elsewhere and prospecting was tbe natural turn In old placer days coarse gold was found on Five mile gulch and to find its source Mr Schuetser turned his attention to a ravine heading on Highland mountain A few Small colors were all that repaid him In the beginningbeginning but with this encouragement he worked up the ravine and after several days of work he found several good sized nuggets enough to convince him that he was on the right lead The ravine was almost Inaccessible but with a deal of work the underbrush was cleared away and sluicing was commenced to clear away the surface ground which showed the effects of a slide On the bedrock several very large nuggets were found the largest weighing over 300 The source of this gold was the objective point and that Ya0 finally located in the bed ot an old channel high above the course of the present channel The channel shows on a bench north of tbe old Highland mine The rim rock is sixteen feet blgh and In the ancient bed Mr Schuetser has found imbedded with the gravel the trunks of large trees Some of them evidently cedars are still sound but all show the marks ot fire These trees are over forty feet below the surface Itis Mr Scbuetzers purpose to sluice along the channel where be owns three claims and he has a good head ot water wun wnicn to accomplish bis object That Mr Schuetser has found the soUrce of the coarse gold formerly found on Five mile gulch Is reasonable te suppose and that his
