Clever ruse nets wanted man in Portland rail line
Sheriff Fisk and Chief Farrington tricked Jack Mitchell into thinking he was being arrested for a minor hotel bill. They boarded the Portland train, identified him by description, and arrested him in Eugene for a 200 reward. Mitchell allegedly aided train robbery, horse theft, and murders in several states, and had vowed to never be taken alive. Detectives previously stalked him at Montavilla and from Canada to Portland, with Montana Idaho authorities in pursuit for years. Mitchell’s wife lived in Montavilla, and he once escaped a trap by disguising as a survey party member. The capture ended a long, cross state manhunt and followed reports of his employment request at Drain, Oregon.
