There they wakened a asked young man who was asleep andwithout him the way to Grantsvllle, as so far could further, saying anything Is presumed' from the be learned. It circumstances that they went direct Willow from that place to the South Grante-vilie. canyon, passing quite close to It is not probable that they could have gone through any part of Grantsvllle, or within a mile of It, as all the roads were well guarded. HOT ON THE TRAIL. Barrees cabin was the next place from which any trace of their movements was obtained. Four of the members of the posse from Grantsvllle were on horseback und three of them were In a light buggy. They reached the Third Term mine about daybreak, the Journey thither having occupied about an hour. About three miles down the canyon from the mine, they discovered a horse, which led them to think that the boys were hidden In the brush. Orders were at once given for the members of the posse to surround the brush. The banks were very meagerly covered, so It was only necessary to station men above and below the viseen, and cinity where thein horse was order to make It Imon either bank, possible for Coughlin and George to escape In any direction without being seen. The ottlcers were cautious about firearms as a warning, beusing their had not made sure that the cause they men on whose trail they were camiied were the men fur whum they were seeking. Marshal Meacham and Richard were the first to discover the trail. They had ridden on some little distance ahead of the rest of the posse. But on seeing the horse Rydalch went back at once to call up the others, while Meacham remained and made himself busy and the air noisy with bogus orders Intended to convey to the fugitives the Idea that there was a lai ge force of men with him. When all the men had got together, they scattered up and down cither side of the distance above and betank, and some low where the horse was seen. Some went over Into Rush valley to stand guard In case the thieves broke over In that direction. Suddenly one of the officers spied one of the men In the brush. That settled nil doubt as to the Identity of the men they had surrounded. As was learned afterwards, the thieves had come down Into the brush from the cabin where I hey had taken supper to have a nap, but they had overslept themselves. It was long after daylight when the oin-ce-rs came upon them, and they had intended to move on liefure that time. Certain at last of their men, the office legnn closing In and fired a few shots Into the brush to drive the men out. The move wae successful. COUGHLIN SURRENDERS. Coughlin appeared on the west side of tlie brush. The olfieers ordered him to throw up his hands, which he did with apparent willingness, begging the officers at the same time not to shoot, crying "Don't shoot I Don't shoot! Ry-dol- ch John Rydalch, Ruel Barres and Gus Sandberg were upon him immediately. Coughlin asked if they were sheriffs, and, finding that they were not, wanted to know whether he was safe with them. Upon their assurance that he wae safe he said that It was the first opportunity he had had to surrender. On other occasions he said the officers had approached them and commenced shooting without any warning whatever. In the little log cabin at Wasatch, the first warning he had of the presence of the officers was when the latter began shooting. The same was the case In City Creek canyon. He and George had been afraid to come out in the open at either place for fear they would lie shot through. Coughlin said to the men that he was very sorry that Stagg was shot. When they had handcuffed Coughlin, the officers left him in charge of Sandberg and started out on a search for George. While they were away Coughlin told Sandberg that he hud made up his mind to surrender as soon as he heard the officers In the canyon, and had voluntarily broken the stock of his gun with that In view, but he had not had a chance to surrender until the time when the officers first saw him emerge from the brush. M'KELLAR ON THE SCENE. Sheriff McKellar, with a posse of eight men from Tooele, Joined the Grantsvllle forces about this time, in response to the word which Anderson and Rydalch had taken to him. The first known of him was when the Sheriff came up the canyon announcing that there was a horse standing in the brush some distance below. He had with him in this party County Attorney McBride, Marshal Meacham, John Marsden, John Gordon, Bill Telklngton, Jim Gowlns, Ralph Shields and Charles McKellar. They were only a short distance away when Coughlin surrendered. When word waa brought of the horse being down below, several of the men went down. They passed to and fro for several minutes in front of where George waa ' caught subsequently. George was concealed In a washout In the bed of the creek, and could have popped off a dosen men before being compelled to surrender, had he been so disposed. He was but a short distance from his horse. GEORGE GIVES HIMSELF UP. McKellar told Coughlin that If he would locate his partner and get him o "ome out of the brush they would not shoot him, but that If George did not surrender they would pop him full of holes. Coughlin went down with McKellar to where the other officers were and called to George several times, but he did not answer. Finally the officers surrounded him, as they had surrounded Coughlin. That seemed to do the business. The lad came out and surrendered to Sheriff McKellar, John Oordon, Marshal Meacham and Attorney McBride. He claimed that he had not heard Coughlin call to him. The place where he surrendered was above BOO yards from where Coughlin had giver, himself up. George wae handcuffed without much ceremony, and th tn drive doifl the canyon. The posse had.emfflit a short distance when the buggies of the Salt Lake officers were encountered, and the prisoners were given into their charge. The canyon was left at 11 oclock. Urants-vlll- a was reached at fifteen minutes before noon. The prisoners did not seem much deThank George exclaimed: pressed. God, I have no mother or father living to know of this. All I have is a sister and a brother and a brother-in-lathat I care for." Coughlin said all he cared for was hie mother, and that he had as good a mother as anybody on earth. In talking with the olfieers, the boys said had got Into they regretted that they such trouble, but did not seem to care much about the consequences. They looked very dirty and ragged. Judging from appearances, they had not been shaven for about two weeka They were in their shirt sleeves, though George had with him a brown corduroy coat, while Coughlin carried one made of canvas. -- w INTERVIEWED AT THE JAIL. Coughlin Telle the Story of Their Wanderings George Is Reticent. The young bandits were stretched on cote In their cells last evening, when a repur. er asked them lor au account of their adventurea Coughlin arose, and framing hie face in the opening of hie cell door, complained mat the newspapers had not given him and his partner a fair deal, and expressed a disinclination to talk. But he was soon volubly spinning a tale of hie experiences, mat had many fairy details. Throughout he chuckled over the way in which the two had eluded the ottlcers, and when he waa especially amused broke out into merry laughter. He manifested a shade of regret for the killing of Stagg and Dawes at the cabin near Wasatch, but his other offenses only Inspired him with pride. Taking up the atory at the time of hie departure with George and Bruce for Wyoming, on Thursday, July 25th, Coughlin proceeded: "We started for Wyoming because we thought it might get warm tor us here, and we wanted to get away for awhile. We had come down from Dark City a few days before with two horses. One of them we took from my cousin, but he was as much mine as my cousin's, for I hod paid for feeding him. The Kid" Coughlin and George call each other Kid rode down on my cousin's horse, and I came on Mike O'Malley's horse. I took Mike's iron-gra- y horse, and I am proud of it, for Mike is an old stiff. Just say in The Tribune I'm proud of It. "We took Bruce with us when we started for Wyoming, but he weakened when we had been gone half a day. Then we turned him back. No, sir, we didn't hold him up. We Just told him to hand over what he had, and he did It." PASSING THROUGH PARK CITY. Coughlin then told of going through Park City, and declared that he and George jwssed City Marshal O'Donnell and that he knew them but did not dare attempt theia arrest. "Maybe he thinks I didn't know him, said Coughlin, wearing red whiskers to disguise himself with." Coughlin complained that Sheriff Harrington did not approach him prop-In erly at the time of the encounter, which the Sheriff's cheek waa graxed by a bullet. I didn't want to shoot Harrington," said he. "lie's the best friend I ever had In Park City, lie did not come up to ua right. If he had raid, Come out. Tussle. I won't shoot we would have surrendered. He calls me Tussle. I've been on several trips with him. Rut he started to shoot, and why I fired at him. Rut I ' that's wanted to apologise to him for It, and 1 was excited I did apologise when I shot at him, as I had Just waked up. The Kid ran off into the timber." STORY OF THE KILLING. Coughlin then gave his veralon of the We were killing of Stagg and Dawes. asleep In the cabin when they commenced shooting on ua. Why didn't they come up and ask us to surrender? But they didn't. They Just commenced sending the volleys into the rhanty. The bullets whlxzed round our heads and the Kid said we were gone now, sure. But I told him we must fight for our lives. So we started in. I (lid the shooting, and the Kid did the loading. When we came out of the cabin the two fellows who were not shot ran like deer for their wagon and made off. Then I walked toward Dawes, who was lying on the ground. The old man was alive. He reached for his gun which was a couple of feet from him, but 1 told him not to raise it, or I'd fire. Then he let it go, and I went up to him. He was shot through the lungs, end there was blood in his mouth. I got some water and washed out his mouth and gave him a drink. "He said he was sorry they had fired on the cabin. They said they woulnt have done it If they had known only the two of us were in the cabin. They thought there was a nigger horse-thiand another man in there too. The old man said he didn't blame us for shooting at them. I didnt know Stagg was dead until the kid called my attention to him. I never aimed at Stagg. Perhaps one of the deputies who were on the other side of the cabin from him shot him. I had nothing against Stagg. He knew me when I waa a little bit of a kid. Hut he had no business to come at us that way. After they started shooting, we had to fight our way out. When we did come out of the cabin and the two deputies were running away, we might have put bullets through them. But we thought we had done enough of that kind of work. And we were no longer in danger and it wasn't necessary to do any more shooting. DELAYED THREE HOURS. "We were delayed about three hours in getting away, because our horses had strayed off. Before we left we gave Dawes water three times and changed him from one position to another several times, so he could rest easier. He Buffered much pain, but he found no fault with us. If we had had a pencil and paper I'd have asked him to write out a dying statement, netting ua right, and would have pinned it on his breast. Before we started he told us how to travel to reach Ogden canyon. He advised us to hurry off, as a big posse would soon be after us. When we came away he waa still alive, and we said good Tivr til hkwr irn to-da- y. ef started TALES OF VARIOUS CONSISTENCY. Coughlin then told of the ride to Ogden, a feature of which was a meal at a sheep ranch, where they left slices of bacon which the deputy sheriffs ate when they reached the place later. After a contemptuous reference to Ogden because they had not been molested during their stay in that city on Wednesday last, Coughlin reached the Warm Springs meeting with the police, the thought of which amused him immensely. He has told different stories of the meeting and what followed on the hills of City Creek canyon. On this occasion he said that he commanded the police to drive on, and that they dafhed away up the road at a furious pa- -' in a conversation witn Detective oh. .j earlier, Coughlin had maintain- that he and George had separated on leaving the cabin at which the killing occurred and hod not come together again until they reached Murray Saturday night.wasAfter insisting true, and that that this statement he was not at the Warm Springs, he to the detective: called out Jocularly say, Sheets, why did you come out to meet us with the lights on the wagon?" CITY CREEK AFFAIR. Passing to the affair on the mountain side north of City creek, Coughlin told The Tribune reporter that when an officer hailed them and asked them to surrender they responded with one shot and then ran down into the brush. Then, he said, they came down along the creek through the brush and entered the city In the afternoon, walking boldly through the streets, lie said they were accosted by an acquaintance in the Canyon road, who gave them a package of newspapers, lie claimed that thereafter they were supplied with the city newspapers regularly, and that friends kept them advised or the movements of tne officers. He said they spent Thursday night In bed in the St. Elmo and Friday night in a friend's house on Eleventh East. SLEPT IN THE CEMETERY. The statement that they stopped at the St. Elmo is not believed. A more likely story is the one told by George to Detective Sheets that they crossed City Creek canyon, went over the hills to Dry canyon, and went on down to ML Olivet cemetery, reaching the latter about dark, and spending the night there. It Is reported that triends, who went there ostensibly to decorate a grave, met thorn In the cemetery. George told Sheets that they spent Friday night on Jack Gilmer's ranch, at Eleventh East und Ninth Suuth. Coughlin, In detailing their movements up to the time they stole fresh horses at Murray on Saturday night, was not at all specific, lie claimed the streets that they had roamed about at will, under the very noses of the officers. He said they kept away from the houses of friends both here and at Mill Creek, because they feared they were being closely watched. The officers, he said, were on the right scent at Mill Creek, and that Deputy Bherlff ssed Irwin and Detective Franks within a few feet of him. Franks's bloodhound, he said, stuck his nose Into the brush against Coughlin's rllle. Coughlin said he had a notion to shoot pointed out the Franks, but George folly of doing so when so many deputies were In the vicinity. GOOD TIME AT MURRAY. He declared that while they were in Murray Saturday night they had an enjoyable time drinking, anil found numerous friends there. The horses taken by lliem he intimated were presented to them. lie ascribed his capture to the taking of a wrong road near Garfield Reach on Saturday, aud the consequent necessity of making in qulrles at the Moss ranch.

But they failed to awake, said Coughlin, until the Tooele county posse was shouting around them. I looked out of the brush and saw horses and men all around us, and then I knew It was no use to hold out any longer. The kid did not want to give up, and when 1 came out and gave myself up, he went off up the creek. Rut he gave la after a while, too. It was no use holding ouL The Jig was up.

He directs Inquiries to the latter, and says he was simply acting under the directions of the older "Kid. He was bitter In the references he made to his relatives. lie hail only one relative, he declared who treated him white. That was hla brother. During the fupllnde at the cabin near Wasatch George was shot In both thighs. The bullets had passed through the cabin wall before striking him, and being nearly spent Inflicted only flesh wounds. .: A portion of the lead was picked out by Coughlin with a pocket-knif- e.

Fought Until His Wounds Rendered Him Helpless and Then Bit and Kicked Hie Captors. Wichita, Kan., Aug. 4. Dick Yeager, alia Zip Wyatt, the most daring desperado in the Indian Territory, was near 8heridan, Okla., captured to-dafter a desperate fight with the officers pursuing him. Six months ago the authorities of Oklahoma set out to break up Wyatts gang, which had been murdering, robbing and committing almost any crime in the calendar. Their last sensational crime was the robbing of the Rock Island train near Dover, the shooting of Messenger Jones, and the looting of the passenger coaches. After that robbery the authorities began a merciless pursuit of the gang. Three of his pals,,-TulsJack, Rill Doolin and Ike Black were killed, and a dozen others of the gang captured. Alone and elngle-haktdZip Wyatt made a last stand before hla pursuers, and put up a desperati fight for his life. Wyatt was on hl way from the Glass muun- tains 'In is western .part of the In- e,"wneri 'the officers engaged him feil day. They ran him across land track near Waukeerais cornfield, which they sur-h- e officers played a waiting tally made Wyatt desperate, e boldly out from Ills cover, etermlned to sell his life as possible. He emptied his Wlnchtste at the posse, which was ' headed o)T Marshal Smith of South Enid. Thd fire was returned. Smith's men aimed to cripple Yeager, and soon his left CCS fell by his side, so that he his gun. The outlaw then could not drew his i vols, and advanced step by step towal the men who had been hunting hf They backed slowly away Just enuugJto keep out of range of his pistols, anrfat the same time keeping near enough to use their rifles. Wyatt soon fell with a bullet in his hip, but he continued to drag himself toward the officers.! shooting as he crawled. Another bullet in the shoulder finally disabled hliii, and the posse gathered in on him. Illut even then, with both arms useless! he fought them, kicking and biting upitll overpowered by main strength. Wyatt was taken to the Kingfisher Jail, where surgeons were brought to dress his wounds. They say he will the crippled outlaw was live. taken to the Garfield county Jail. This breaks up the last gang of bandits In Oklahoma. The campaign against them has cost the Government a mint of money, but the law officers have finally triumphed. One of Wyatt's recent crimes was the killing of a Baptist minister, who protested when Wyatt made him give up a horse which he was riding. ay ed NO. 47.
