to Oregon Territory for some years when
in 1852 viewers
from Linn, Lane and Benton counties
scouted a new cut-off from the Oregon
Trail at the Malheur
River west to the Willamette Valley.
In 1853, contracts were let to build
the new road which was believed to be
over a hundred miles
shorter than the old Oregon Trail. It was
known as the Elliott Cut-off, and those
who took it
were often referred to as "The Lost Wagon Train of 1853".
What happened then has been published
in
six issues of the Oregon Historical Quarterly,
beginning in December, 1976.
The number in the immigration coming
to Oregon in 1853 has been estimated as
8,000 men, women and
children. Of these, about 275
remained on the Oregon Trail. Some 200
wagons left the Oregon Trail
in Idaho and came into the Willamette
Valley via the Southern or Applegate
route, and 50 wagons
split off to pioneer the first wagon road
to Washington Territory

Young Desperado is Identified as Joe
Matlock of
Oregon. Santa
Ana, Cal. - Dec 17 - The
young desperado who was killed at Turnato Springs
yesterday after slaying
one and wounding
three of the posse which battled with
him, was
identified today as Joe Matlock
formerly
of Eugene, Oregon. The identification
was made by
Dr. L.L. Whitson, a dentist who formerly
lived in the Oregon town. He said that
Matlock had
been arrested at Eugene three or four
years ago
for an attack on a woman and
fled after his
release on bail. On a torn envelope in
the dead man's
pocket was written the
name ____? Bowen.
Bowen was sheriff at Eugene when Matlock
was arrested.
Sheriff _? E. Ruddock of
Orange County
found a photograph of Matlock which had
been sent out by the
Eugene sheriff at
the time of Matlock's
flight and it bore a strong resemblance
to the dead man.
Matlock was a son of J.
D. Matlock, a former
mayor of Eugene.
Illustrated

Portland, Or.: A.G. Walling Pg 501
J D MATLOCK:

in Dade County Missouri when quite
young, and came to state and county in
1863;
was married in Lane
County, Oregon in 1862, Elizabeth M

When the bill came up to

request of members of Lane County,
Mr
Matlock asked for a
division of the bill so as to extend the
time for the completion of the
University and to allow Citizens of
county to levy a tax to finish it.

John I. Matlock
The entire life of John I. Matlock has
been spent upon the farm, one and a half
miles from Holley,
where he was born June 20, 1858. His
father, William, who was born in
Missouri, contracted the
gold fever in 1849, and as a young man
joined a party bound for the mines of
California. He was
fairly successful,
and with his little hoard came to Oregon
in 1851, locating on the farm of three
hundred and
twenty acres now occupied by his son. He
married Nancy Shields, member of an
early family
here, and
reared a family of ten children, four
sons and six daughters. He naturally
suffered from the
depredations of
the Indians in the early days, and as
naturally joined the defense instituted
for the
protection of the life
and property of the settlers, serving in
the war for several months. His death
occurred in 1875, at the age of
forty-nine years, and nine of his
children are living at the present
time.
These are: Amanda, the wife of Gideon Hodson; Evaline, wife of Timothy Riggs;
John I.; A.J., near
Holley; Artilla, the
wife of Henry H.
Chance; William T.; Mary J., wife of
Andrew Shanks; and Eliza P.
When his father died John I. Matlock was

THOMAS G. MATLOCK. - This well-known
citizen of Heppner, Morrow county,
Oregon, who
devotes himself to the improvement of
our stock of horses, was born in Dade
county, Missouri,
March
4, 1849, and came with his parents
across the plains to Oregon in 1853,
locating with them
near
Eugene, where they engaged in
stock-raising, and remaining until the
death of the father at
Bannack City, Idaho. He was buried on
Buena Vista Bar, July 1, 1863. Thomas
received a common
-school education, and worked on the
farm. His father having been a fancier
and producer of fine
horses, our subject went in 1871 to
Umatilla county with the intention of
continuing in the same
business, and has remained there ever
since, developing one of the finest
bands of horses and also
one
of the neatest herds of stock to be
found in the state. There also live his
brothers, C.J.,
E.L., W.F. and
J.W. J.D. lives at Eugene, where he is
successfully engaged in the mercantile
business. Thomas was
married in 1871 to Miss Mary E. Larkin,
and has three boys and three girls.
His
mother is now
seventy-four years of age, and makes her
home with her only daughter, Mrs.
Greenwood of the Wallowa. She
is a woman still in good health and of
unclouded mind. (Page 441.

half of the 1250 inhabitants of Heppner,
Ore. The furious
waters carried the residences of Heppner
away. So great was the force of the
water that boulders
weighing
a ton were rolled along the gulch,
crushing everything in their path.
Wires, bridges and
railroads were
swept away and complete reports have not
yet been received.
The most trustworthy of the reports say
that the loss of life at Heppner will
exceed 500.
A report from Ione, 17 miles from
Heppner, says that 300 bodies have been
recovered. Some of the
business district which is on high
ground escaped destruction. The storm
covered a wide area but
toward dark it settled to a very heavy
rain. The darkness soon made the
situation even more appalling.
Dozens of Bodies Found
As soon as the waters subsided, relief
was started by the survivors. Bodies
were found in the bends
of streams and in some places piled 2
and 3 deep. Up to 2:00 Monday afternoon,
200 bodies had been
recovered in the town.
Many of the buildings not crushed were
toppled and removed from their
foundations. Hundreds of farm
animals suffered the same fate. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company
immediately started a
relief train as soon as word was
received from Portland and The Dalles.
Doctors, nurses and supplies
of all kinds are being sent. A relief
fund has also been started in Portland.
