Dillon, Patrick W., Jan  10 & 24, 1908

Patrick W. Dillon was born in County Clare, Ireland, May 1, 1850, while only a year and a half old he came to Canada with his parents and settled in Compton County and lived there until he was 18 years old when he left Canada and located in Michigan and engaged in the lumber business, here he learned the millwright trade and worked at this for a number of years.  In 1877 he came to the coast and engaged in the lumber business at Tacoma for two years. In 1880 he came east of the mountains and located in Sprague, WA, while in Sprague he was nominated and elected sheriff of Spokane County, which then included what is now Spokane and Lincoln counties. His office was in Cheney, which was then county seat of Spokane County. After holding the office of Sheriff for two years he went to Coeur d’Alene mining district and was in the hotel and  mining business. In 1882 he located in Davenport and procured a quarter section of land what is now known as Dillon’s addition to Davenport, which included the south western portion of our city. The deceased was instrumental in getting the N P Railway through this section. He opened a real estate office on Morgan street and was extensively interested in mines at Greenwood and British Columbia, points which at that time had just opened up.  About 1890 he bought the Baldwin place, a ranch on Hawk Creek and spent considerable time working on this ranch. Mr. Dillon was a charter member of the Knights of Pythias lodge but after the lodge lost their charter and again re-organized he did not take out a membership. He was a member in good standing of the Davenport Lodge No 64, IOOF, and was  an active member. Mr. Dillon had served several times on the city council and had at the last city election been elected to again fill that office. He had been U S Court Commissioner and Jury Commissioner at the time of his death. Mr. Dillon died Jan 1, 1908 of pleuro-pneumonia after sickness of about one week. He was taken care of during this short sickness by Mrs. Ditmar and members of Davenport’s Odd Fellow lodge and other friends. Mr. Dillon leaves three brothers: M. A. Dillon of Tacoma, ……… 

Patrick W. Dillon died at his home in Davenport on New Year’s day, after a brief illness. Deceased was a pioneer of the sturdy oak variety, and a man who never flinched from the performance of what he considered his duty. Faults he had, to be sure, as who of us have not, but they were more of the head than of the heart. He was one of those characters who possess strong convictions, and hard to sway from a position once taken. But he was honest—a characteristic that covered up his bluntness and apparently rough exterior. An incident in the life of P. W. Dillon, which occurred in the latter part of the winter or early in the spring of 1883, in Cheney, which was then the county seat of Spokane county, when he was sheriff of that county, and which came very near being a close call for “Pat” is furnished the writer by Attorney E. F. Scarborough of Wilbur who was then residing in Cheney, was helping a friend to build a house in the outskirts of town. There was an Indian camp among the trees about fifty yards from the building, principally squaws and papooses and a few bucks. One day, a little after noon, while they were on the roof shingling, they noticed a disturbance in the camp. One, a half-breed, was chasing the squaws from one wigwam to another, with a gun and returning to shoot. He was evidently full of firewater. He ran into one of the wigwams and one of the squaws ran down into town to get the sheriff to come and arrest him. Pat immediately gathered a posse and hurried to the scene of trouble. In the posse were J. W. Range, afterwards representative from Seattle in the State legislature. Also the editor of the Cheney Sentinel. When they arrived at the camp, “Pat” who was ahead observed the muzzle of a Winchester rifle pointed at him from the opening of one of the wigwams, and covering him as he passed along. He sprang behind a tree, and none too soon, for the half-breed fired and the bullet knocked off some of the bark of the tree behind which Pat was taking refuge. The rest of the posse immediately got behind trees and stumps and opened fire on the half-breed, who had then come out of the wigwam and was firing his Winchester promiscuously at any one he could get a glimpse of. Just then one of the posse, (it was said that it was the editor) laid his gun across a stump and taking deliberate aim, bored the Indian through with a ball from an old Springfield rifle with which he was armed. The half-breed fell forward on his face and in a few minutes Pat came out from behind the tree and seeing the half-breed was dead, said, “Well, boys, I guess that’s all we can do for him” and all went back to town. It is needless to say that when the shooting began, Mr. Scarborough and his friend got off the roof and under cover where they could safely see all that happened.—D. W. Aldridge. In the Wilbur Register. (Davenport Times)
