Morning Oregonian, Portland Oregon
LOST IN THE WOODS.-On the 25th of June, George Callahan, son of Clifton Callahan, and his younger brother, left their home at Dickey's Prairie Clackamas County to go to a deer stand that was two miles away on the Molalla. George was to go to the stand while the brother drove in the deer. On going to the stand over the course of the day, George was not to be found, after firing his gun and shouting without getting any response, the brother went home. Searching parties were at once organized among the neighbors, and the woods scoured in all directions, but up to this time no trace of the young man can be obtained. It is supposed that he must have met with some accident, but whether he was killed instantly, or met with a lingering death will probably never be known. He was well acquainted with the neighborhood, having herded cattle there for years. His parents suffer great anguish not knowing his fate,they will liberally reward the party who gives any information of his whereabouts or the recovery of his remains.
In later years a man on his deathbed,confessed to his murder.
