Diamond Ed of Oregon County Returns With Lost Diamonds
Ed Huntley known as Diamond Ed in Eastern Oregon was a traveling clothing drummer famed for diamond brocade on his shirt. After two highwaymen attacked him in 1892 and years of searching, he met a Portland man offering “lost items” and exchanged diamonds for a $2000 finder’s fee. The swap restored Ed’s $18,000 in diamonds and watch and chain.
