CATTLE RUSTLER IS SHOT DEAD
TWO OF THREE COMPANIONS WOUNDED SHOOTING IS RESULT OF BREAK FOR LIBERTY
Complaining Witness Hit by Five Bullets, but Will Recover—Posses Surround the Outlaws In Hills
By Associated Press.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 3.—A special •to the | Spokesman-Review from Lewiston, Idaho, says: , 77a.'
George" Moore, a cattle, rustler, Is dead; A. J. Sloan and W. P. Reed, companions, are wounded, while Dan Carr, the complaining witness, received five wounds late this afternoon in a gun fight at the Carr homestead, seven miles from Orofino, on the Pierce City road.
The shooting Is the result of a break for liberty, made by Reed and Rice, who were arraigned in Orofino this morning on a charge of stealing cattle.
The men started at breakneck speed out of town and were joined in the suburbs by Moore and Sloan, for whom the officers have been seeking several days.
The outlaws followed the Pierce City road, and when** near the Carr home met Car and Sam Craig on the road.
The desperadoes opened fire and drove young Car and Craig to cover. Shots were heard by Dan Carr, father of young Carr, and he, with a Winchester rifle and three cartridges, started for the scene of the battle.
Telephone messages from Orofino had warned the elder Carr of the escape of the cattle thieves, and when the shooting commenced he knew his son and companion had encountered the outlaws. .
When Dan Carr met the men a fusillade of shots greeted the rancher, but Carr killed Moore at the first shot, wounded Rice with a bullet through the neck, and sent a ball through the right arm of Reed.
Carr himself received two scalp wounds, a bullet through the left leg, one through the right thigh, and one through the body. The wounds are not very serious. The shooting was reported to the sheriff's office and under direction of Sheriff Lydon posses were organized at Pierce City, Weippe and Orofino and started in pursuit.
Latest reports state that the men have been driven to cover on a ridge between Orofino and Ford's creek, and it is expected their capture will be effected tomorrow.

PIONEER FORDS CREEK
WOMAN HONORED
Mrs. A. D. Carr was agreeably surprised Sunday when some neighbors and Grange members dropped in at her home on Fords Creek ridge with a fine lunch and spent the day eating and visiting in commemoration of her pioneer residence there. She is the oldest pioneer of the section.
Mrs. Carr came to Clearwater County in July, 1892 before the Nez Perce reservation was opened and at a time when only one other white woman resided on the ridge. That lady was Mrs. John Kennedy. Mr. Carr came here in April, 1892, and his wife followed in July, being accompanied by her four children and brother, Job Snyder. They crossed the Northfork by canoe before any ferry boats were built and packed in. Benjamin Hines was the lone Indian living on the site which is now Orofino. His house was situated about where the Blake home is. The Carrs homesteaded a place about two miles beyond where she now lives.
