RealE Coq B 79 Sept 6, 1901 [Head] Landis Again. Medford, Dr., Aug 31. -- M.D. Landis, the wholesale murderer of Coos county, against whom positive evidence was secured a few weeks ago, and who has been pictured in all the San Francisco papers, and for the arrest of whom a big reward is offered, was in Jackson county only a short time ago. He came over the Umpqua trail from Roseburg and stopped for three or four days with Mrs. Inlow, at the Trail creek postoffice, alleging that he was the van guard of a drove of cattle which was being driven from Roseburg to Klamath county. The cattle came along all right, but Landis commenced hitting the high places in the direction of Prospect when the horns of the first steer were seen coming up the trail. So quickly was his departure made that he forgot to liquidate his hotel bill with Mrs. Inlow. From Trail he went to Prospect and from there on to Prineville. From Prineville went east and is probably now in Idaho. The above information was given us by M.F. Parker, who knew Landis, as did also the publisher of The Medford Mail, in Lane county, about nine years ago. Mr. Parker, who was enroute to Boise, Idaho, was at Mrs. Inlow's a couple of days after Landis left there and followed his trail as far as Prineville, but was unable to catch up with him. Landis is known to have killed three men. He was a real estate dealer and timber locator, and his method was to pick up strangers with money who wanted to buy timber lands. He would take them into the mountains where the strangers were m murdered. Landis would explain upon returning, that the party had decided not to buy and had taken a shorter route to the railroad. + [also in Landis] food-meat business Tot-Coquille Tot-Bandon character superlative animal-hog CoqB 79 September 6, 1901 Curren's packing house to be opened for season’s run Sept 9.
