Abstract
"...'The killing of George Coggan and wounding of Al Bunker (both prominent La Granders) took place on the evening of July 12, 1878. I happened to be on guard duty on the evening before this happened. 'On the morning of the same day four teamsters were killed by the Indians on the Meacham road from Meacham to Pendleton. This was not far from the top of what was then known as Crawford's hill. On the same day the Indians burned the old stage station at the foot of Crawford hill. It was called Cayuse station, and stood directly south of what is now called Cayuse station.'"
