these light fingered gentry with this purpose in view the gentleman had started out alone and was well on his hie way up box canyon on the trail of the robbers when the sheriff and his posse came up in the rear at the head of thompsons Thomp sons they came up with the outlaws who were camped at the head of that canyon it was here that the outlaws were told to throw up their hands but instead ot of complying with the mandate they commenced firing at mr whitmore and the rest of the posse eight shots were fired by the robbers one e shot whizzing by mr whitmore who was more exposed than any of the rest Im bedding itself in the rocks beyond this was a close call for the gentleman but an all wise providence seemed to watch over those who were in the posse while almost every shot from their guns found its billet altogether the experience was a very exciting one for mr Whit and one which he will remember for some time to come thirty head of horses were captured by the posse which had been
