Sheriff Alice,! was pretty well satisfied that car) onwere close to the otulaw. and knowing that tne latter would tiiey have some of their number on the outlook, deemed it wise to continue under cover of darkness Ied by the rancher, they continued across Use hills until about 15 mile wa covered and the vicinity of the rendezvous of the robber wa reached. Here the jxs-- e dismounted, and wrapped tn their blanket, awaited the approach of dawn. About an hour before daybreak, they remounted and nxle within a short distance of the camp, when they again dismounted and proceeded to within 60 yard of Die sleeping outlaw. Mr. Allred them called on them to turrender, a did alo IVte An1eron and J. M. Whitmoie, and who told the outlaw that they were turrounded tv 100 men. CassiJy and Walker Immediately began firing and the other two threw up their bauds end begged for mercy. Cusldy and Walker, after emptying their revolver, started to run. Walker fell about lxty feet from the bed, with a bullet through hi head, and another pierced hi heart. Cassidy fell shortly after with a bullet through his heart. The battle took place in the Book Cliff, about 45 mile north of Thompson Springs. With the dead bodie packed on a couple of horse and with the two captured outlaw, the trip to Thompson begun, which point wa reached late Friday evening. Governor Well wa notified by wire of the capture. The party left Thompsons the following morning and reached Price at 7:10 a. m. A big crowd had assembled to view the remain of the outlaw. At the inquevt, a large number of witnesses testified ns to the Identity of the outlaw, and In accordance with testimony, the jury's derision was that the dead bodies were those of Butch Cassidy and Joe Walker. The bod'es were prepared for burial Saturday evening and placed in common wood coffins and on Sunday were buried. Joe Walker was sa'd to have come from Texas some seven years ago and remained here, doing ranch work and riding the range. Later he went to Huntington, where he was employed at Day Bros. sawmill. Being a good rider and handy with a gun he was soon again among the cow punchers. During the summer of 1805 hi criminal career, so far a Utah is concerned, began. Under the influence of liquor he attempted to hold up Trice, and in some wav managed to elude the officers. Fearing arrest In case he returned to Trice, he joined the cattle rustlers who rendezvoused In the eastern part of Emery county and who have fattened off the cattlemen of eastern Utah. About fifteen months ago an attempt was made by the official of Carbon and Emery counties to nrred him for horse stealing. In an encounter with Walker and a pal In the San Rafael reefs. Sheriff Tuttle received a bad gunshot wound in the thigh, supposed to have been done by Walker. Walker has led gangs in raids after cattle and horses, and was much feared by ranchmen. As to the identity of Cassidy there is a great divergence of opinion. Sheriffs Allred and Tuttle with several others claim the body to be that of Butch Cassidy beyond a question of doubt. Doc Shores of the R G. W. and a noted criminal hunter, and others are equally positive that it is not Cassidy. Time alone will settle the dispute. The two outlaws who surrendered to the posse claim the names of Thompson and Schultz, and are probably Wyoming cattle rustlers. They were lodged in jail at this place under heavy guard. Thompson and Schultz claim that the dead man said to be Cassidy was known to them in Wyoming by the name of John Herring. In the event of Sheriff Allred's posse failing to capture the outlaws. Sheriff Tuttle with a posse from Orangeville was south of the Book Cliffs to intercept them. Sheriff Wilson of Grand was also notified to cut off escape to the southeast, but failed to show up. The Price boys who were in the posse smiled when Joe Bush got his work in on the Salt Lake reporters. Joe is smooth of tongue and has a supreme amount of unadulterated gall. Sundays Tribune says: Bush says the melee was of very short duration. When he dismounted it was just 5 o'clock. The bandits were surrounded, after a walk of 100 yards or more, and the battle fought six minutes later. The two bandits fired eight or ten shots. Some of the posse say the bullets whistled by close to them, but Bush says he wasnt paying any attention to that detail of the performance. He was only looking after his own rifle and the bullets in its chamber. The shooting was or thirty yards. all done at a distance of about twenty-fiv- e Members of the posse say that Bush, the brave, did not show up until after Walker and Cassidy had been killed. It is very probable Bush was at a very safe distance when, He was only looking after his own rifle and the bullets in its chamber." It is also very likely that Bush was not as much concerned about the flying bullets as he was to preserve his cowardly hide. The credit for the capture is due solely to the Price bovs, every one of whom were at the front pumping lead into the outlaws. Windy Bush is all right in an interview, and the Salt Lake reporters are soft snaps. Sheriff Ward of Evanston, Wyoming, reached Price on Sunday night, for the purpose of identifying Cassidy, the latter having served a term in the Wyoming penitentiary, while Mr. Ward was warden. On Monday the body was exhumed and an examination made. When seen by the Advocate reporter, Mr. Ward stated positively that the body was not Butch Cassidys. On Tuesday Schultz and Thompson were taken to Castle Dale for a preliminary hearing. They were guarded by a strong posse. Jack Gentry, Billy McGuire, Peter Anderson and Jim Inglefield reached Price on Monday with the band of horses which were in possession of the outlaws. They reached here with 24 head, four having given out on the trip to Price. The band is above average Utah horses. IngU-firLI- S Lila Off.cer Commanding Captain Kilo lea of the Wood Ctus tamp.
