Preliminary hearing will be given them before United States Commissioner Sommer at 10 oclock this morning WERE READY FOR THEM For the last two or three days the Grantsvllle boys had been out watching

Informed the posse that two boys riding light colored col-ored animals had passed the beach about 220 oclock on Sunday morning V They turned down towards the Bowery V and seeing they were observed by the watchman went on toward Grantsvllle The next the posse heard of the boys V was that they had ridden Into Bishop I Mosss yard There they wakened a and asked young man who was asleep V him the way to Grantsville without V saying anything further so far as could V V be learned It Is presumed from the VV circumstances that they went direct from that place to the South Willow I V1h V 1 canyon passing quite close to Grants vine It Is not probable tnat tney could have gone through any part of V Grantsvllle or within a mile of It as V all the toads were well guarded fr HOT ON THE TRAIL 4 V Barress cabin was the next place from which any trace of their movements t < move-ments was obtained Four of the memo mem-o beis of the posse ftom Grantsvllle were on horseback und three of them were V In a light buggy They reached the V f third Term mine about daybreak the Journey thither having occupied about V un hour About three miles down the canyon from the mine they discovered V a boise which led them to think that V the boys were hidden In the brush Or i rteis were at once given for the mem beis of the posse to surround the brush The banks were very meugerly covered so It was only necessary to station men above and below the vicinity vi-cinity where the horse was seen and on either bank 11 order to make It Impossible I Im-possible for Coighlln and George to V escape in any direction without being titen The officers were cautious about using their firearms as a warning bemuse rrVVV V be-muse they had no made sure that the V men on whose tivil they were camped i were the men jar whom they were tveklng Marshal Meacham and Richard Ry V dalch were the first to discover the trail They had ridden on some little I distance ahead of the rest of the posse V Hut on seeing the horse Bydulcli went back at once to call up the others i while Meacham remained and made himself busy and the air noisy with V bogus orders Intended to convey to the fugitives tho Idea that there was a large force of men with him When all the men had got together they scattered V scat-tered up and down either side of the hank and some distance above and below be-low where the horse was seen Some went over Into Rush valley to stand V guard In case the thieves biokc over In that direction Suddenly one of the officers spied one of the men In the brush Thai settled nil doubt as to the Identity of the men V V they had surrounded As was learned afterwards the thieves had come down Into the brush from the cabin where they had taken supper to have a nap but they had overslept themselves ItS It-S was long after daylight when the oin i cers catno upon them and they had intended In-tended to move on before that time Certain at last of their men the of flcurH began closing in and filed a few Hhotu Into the brush to drive the men out The move was successful COUGHLIN SURRENDERS Coughlln appeared on the west Bide of the brush The olllcers ordered him to throw up his hands which ho did with apparent willingness begging the V odlcsrs at the same time not to shoot crying Dont shoot Dont shoot < John Rydalch Ruel Bar res and Gus Sandberg were upon him Immediately Coughlln asked If they were sheriffs and finding that they were not wanted want-ed to know whether he was safe with them Upon their assurance that he was safe he said that It was the first opportunity he had had to surrender On other occasions he said the olllcers had approached them and commenced shooting without any warning whatever what-ever In the little log cabin at Wu satch the first warning he had of the presence of the officers was when the latter begun 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 be shot through Coughlln said to the men that he was very sorry that Stagg was shot When they had handcuffed Coughlin the officers of-ficers left him In charge of Sandberg and started out on a search for George While they were away Coughlln 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 MKELLAR ON TIlE 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 Sher-iff 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 Gowins Ralph Shields and Charles McKellar They were only a short distance away when Coughlln surrendered When word was 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 was caught subsequently George was concealed In a washout In the bed of the creek and could have popped oft a dozen 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 Coughlln that If he I would locate his partner and get him to come 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 Coughlln That seemed to do the business The lad came out and surrendered to Sheriff Sher-iff McKellar John Gordon Marshal Meacham and Attorney MclJilde He claimed that he had not heard Cough lln call to him The place where he surrendered was above 600 yards from where Coughlln had giver himself up George was handculfed without much ceremony and the nnVhdwas1jtv0fl tn drlyp un do Kthe canyon The posse had kuui Uut a short distance when the buggies of the Salt Lake officers of-ficers were encountered and the prisoners pris-oners were given Into their charge The canyon was left at 11 clock Urants vine was reached at fifteen minutes before be-fore noon The prisoners did not seem much depressed de-pressed George exclaimed Thank God I have no mother or father living to know of this All I have Is a sister and a brother and a brotherinlaw that I care for Coughlln said all he cared for was his mother and that he had as good a mother as anybody on earth In talking with the officers the boys said they regretted that they had got Into 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 weeks They were In their shirt sleeves though George had with him a brown corduroy coat while Coughlln carried one made of canvas |
