150 Years 1857-2007 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY February 28, 2007 City Free of 'Hoosier Dan' and Frank Williams GONE UP THE RIVER - "Hoosier Dan" and Frank Williams were taken up to Celilo yesterday afternoon, with the intention of putting them on the morning boat for Umatilla. Williams is a dressy fellow, and might pass in most places without suspicion of being a bad character. Dan is apparently a "stoopid," with a ferocious looking jaw, and a large, unmeaning mouth. Williams was once arrested in this place, on suspicion of attempting to "go through" the pockets of some travelers sleeping at a hotel. The arrest of these men is mainly attributable to Officer Sanders of Portland, who "worked up" their cases with great diligence and shrewdness.
