few words Officer Bush related now he in company with Sheriff tuttle I of Emery county Sheriff Allred and County Attorney Warf of Carbon county J M Whltmore Georg Whit more Jack Gentry Pete Anderson J Inglefield and Jack Watson all men or ir > n nerve and determination followed fol-lowed the trails of the four desperate horse thieves and robbers for nearly a week without rest and without sleep until they came upon the objects of the hunt at a place almost within their lair Piloted by a trusty guide the trail I was followed over mountains cliffs and ledges They traveled the entire night before the capture over a trail that was next to impassable For miles it led over precipitous cliffs and at hundreds hun-dreds of points the slip i or stumble of a ff 3 let horses foot would have dashed them I to certain death a couple of thousand feet below As Bush remarked it was far more dangerous to travel these trails than to risk the fire of the sharp shooting desperadoes THE SCENE OF CAPTURE At last however the trail led to the head of Florence canyon about 40 miles north of Thompsons Springs Here I within touch of deep snow drifts at daj light Friday morning the four outI laws were found asleep in camp Refusing Re-fusing to surrender Cassidy and Walker were shot and killed The other two then threw up their hands Not one of the brave posse received even a scratch in the exchange of shots About 22 head of cattle and horses were captured and led back to Thomp sons Springs The animals were stolen from the Whitmore ranch about a week before at the time one of George Whitmores cowboys was struck with a cartridge belt by one of the thieves IDENTIFICATION COMPLETE Officer Bush and his compatriots who have done the state such signal service In starting to break up the Robbers Roost gang by taking two of the ring leaders are not worrying about the division of the large rewards That will come in proper season shortly There will be no trouble about establishing complete identification Dozens of citizens at Thompsons and Price and vicinities tnow Cassidy and Walker and are positive they were the subjects handled ycstcrday at the coroners inquest Joe Bush believes that another one or two man hunting expeditions like this will go a long way toward exterminating exter-minating the Robbers Roost gang of outlaws FURTHER DETAILS FROM PRICE The following additional particulars were received last night from The Heralds correspondent at Price Price Utah May HThe dead bodies of the two outlaws Cassidy and Walker arrived here at 710 this morning morn-ing and were taken to the court house where an inquest was held A verdict was rendered by the coroners jury to the effect that they came to their time y end t > y shots fired into them by the 1 sheriffs psse The two others who i ere arrested and brought in alive gave their names as S H Thompson late of Johnson county Wyoming and William Schultz who also claims Wyoming Wyo-ming as his former residence They oach claim to be cattle hands and name nany ranches in various parts of u yo ming in which they have worked as cowboys They also claim that Cassidy Cassi-dy came with them and was known t > them as Johnny Herrin and that they fell In with the fellow Joe meaning mean-ing Joe Walker at Green River Utah Their story of course Is not believed They are evidently what Is known as rustlers in Wyoming and no doubt are part of the gang from the famous Holeinthe Wall country in that state The work of Sheriff Allred and his posse which consisted of seven men cannot bf too highly commanded Sheriff Sher-iff Tuttle and his posse of eight men from Emery county deserve great credit as well as a full share of the rewards offered for the apprehension of these outlaws The people of Emery and Carbon counties have long suffered from the thefts of these rustlers who hate run off thousands of dollars worth of live stock belonging to the citizens of these two counties and it is to be hoped that now the good work has begun it will be kept up until the last one of the Robbers Roost gang is xterminated or jailed Will W Hyde of Lower Crossing and Dick Jones of Emery county were today to-day lodged in jail at Price It appears I that these two men have been engaged as couriers In the conveyance of intelligence I in-telligence Walker and Cassidy and the gang generally This class ofj I boosters of
