Spo- d ple. Oregon, City, Ore. Frank Smith, the convict who has murdered three officers of the law in his endeavors to escape, was killed on Tuesday in the woods south of New Era, Clakamas county, by a bullet in his head from the revolver of Harry Draper of Spokane. The outlaw was trapped at 9 a. m., and at 11:10 he was writhing in the underbrush in his death struggle. Prior to his destruction, Smith had made a sensational escape into the timber and had been surrounded and penned in by at least 200 officers and volunteers. Dynamite had been used to dislodge him, and the woods had been fusilladed with bullets, all of which he escaped unharmed. Smith was tracked to his lair through the sagacious intelligence ot Drapers bloodhounds, which is the best that bloodhounds have ever accomplished in this state. The flushing of Smith was unexpected, although the men were certain he was in the timber. The officers stumbled upon him and were standing within three feet of him when he was espied. The dogs, which had been following the hot scent and uttering loud cries, stopped at the log and sniffed the air, holding their heads aloft. Draper had the dogs in leash and was urging them on. Suddenly Draper glanced down and there, concealed partly by the log, was the murderer and fugitive. Smith saw he was cornered and made no outcry. He was industriously pulli ing the razors, watches and jewelry from his coat pocket and hiding them under the log when Draper saw him. Are you Smith? demanded Draper. Yes, was the brief answer. As Smith made this reply he pulled his revolver from the inside of his coat and started to level it at Draper. In the twinkling of an eye Draper whipped out his own revolver and sent a bullet crashing through Smiths temple. .
