Peter French Killed in Oregon Cow Town Shooting
Long account details the death of Peter French at his Sod House ranch in Harney county Oregon last Sunday. The 48 year old cattle king had recently remarried and left a $2,000,000 estate in trust with E Reinhart Co to be forwarded to attorney F C Lusk in Chico California on death confirmation. Vaquero David Crow rode 225 miles in 49 hours to bring news and letters to California agents while speculation grows of a plot involving squatters, with French unarmed at the time of the shooting and the killer at large or captured soon.
