sheriffs are di Med as to whether that statement statement was wis meant to be misleading or was truth truthful truthful truthful ful Butch Cassidy Again A most important theory was devel dove developed developed today tolay since these frontiersmen have hae had time to think about the trag tragedy tragedy tragedy edy It Is te now believed that the no notorious Butch Cassidy the man who is rall supposed suppo ed to have been with IUt George Geor Curry the leader Jeader in the Union Pacific robbery last June Is the leader of the gang sang which killed Tyler and Jen Jon Jenkins Jenkins Jonkins kins Descriptions of the men as given by Herbert Day who saw them to per persons persons perSons sons here who ho have known Cassidy make it appear app ar almost certain that the I well known train robber is of the gang It is believed that three men who came through Moab on Wednesday evening eve are the men who did the kill km killIng Ing Thus with th the occasion on which they th ware seen at t Turners Turn rs makes three times they have htwe come to light The men who know Cassidy declare that he fits the descriptions Sheriff Sh AUred of Carbon county count who knows Cassidy C said I believe he is the man m n nw we w want these the e descriptions fit and there th r are other to con confirm 4 firm 1 my opinion There is s another fact of Importance It is settled that Curry was in the Union Pacific robbery and if Cassidy who ho Is known to have been one of them was with him the Little Book Cliffs Clites of Grand county have been the there retreat re leat of the Union Pacific

Jenkins has brought to tr light facts fats about the th Union Pacific train robbery which have been hidden by both the railroad company and nd the Pacific Express company I have learned on the best authority that the t e Pacific Express company in that thai holdup including i g about of unsigned bank notes At the time Currie was killed a PInkerton man Murray who had been working on the Case ase se came caine here tc identify the outlaw He said at that time that the express company my had lost and that Currie CrrIe was the treasurer tr of the robbers robber with some of the money mon y In his p awaking awaiting this spring when wh p pit It was to have been divided d There is I f hat Mt t Murray r fn y made m thesis these th and as as a he was in a position to Wi t know IkUo the amount lost it is presumed that etling the truth Working on these facts the most plausible theory is 18 that the men who murdered Tyler and Jenkins J were not cattle rustlers by b They had come in here to tome meet me t Currie Clirrie and have a division of the spoils At t the time tune of Curries death hIs father came here from Chadron Neb and nd he shoved showed Doc King one of the managers of the Webster City Cattle company letters from rom the son in which It was told that he intended int to remain Here bere during the winter Currie has told others he was ws w s going out in the spring While he was in the Book cliffs he was associated with Tom Dilley Joe Rose Roseand Roseand Roseand and another rustler He worked with them because he wanted to hide for forthe forthe forthe the winter All this time he had a cache of a large share of the Pacific Express booty which was to be divided in the spring Soon after he was killed ed that thatis is on April 22 three men appeared at atthe atthe atthe the Webster ebster City Cattle ranch and ant an asked about Currie They The talked to one of Mr em employ ploy quite freely free y about him and the holdups with which they had been as associated They said they were to have him in the mountains and an when in informed Informed formed that he was dead they said fur further further further ther that there was a cache each e of in inthe inthe inthe the mountains which they wanted w to find flail Returned Ret From Prom Arizona Since Sim e then they have not been seen But last Wednesday three men two of dark and one of sandy complexion passed through Moab from Arizona One of the dark men was tall taU and the theother theother theother other was wg of medium height Each was about 35 3 years of age The other man rn n put down as Cassidy was

fits the men seen at the cattle company ranch r on April 22 and that given by Oscar Turner of the men who passed his ranch Saturday even evening evenIng evenIng ing Not only that but Deputy Sheriff Day and Mert Wade who saw Tyler j and ami Jenkins killed give the same de description description It is believed the three men who sought Curries cache were the same and nd that becoming frightened at the manhunt then on lied fled ed south Gaining courage lately the they came caine north again to th the cache They were met by Tyler and antI his posse just before or af after aft ter t they Way found

that there were five outlaws in the gang that killed the two men in Hill fill creek reek canyon There Is Js a rumor here that two men went back up Hill creek after the shooting s oo and came out over oyer the divide Into the Green river valley thir miles m north of here However the several sheriffs here did not think the clue strong enough to follow 4 Inquest Held Reid An inquest on the bodies of
