Twelve days ago, 7. JEFF Carr, of

He went from here to Cheyenne, and
securing a horse, rode with all speed to

In the meantime, rumor grew suspi-
ciously strong That C~heyennes and half
breeds OF the neighborhood would at
tempt a rescue, n the next morning,
when the officer left with his prisoner,
having also obtained information Of the
remaining thief and horse, the agent
FURNISHED him with an armed escort of
sioux Indians, and an interpreter, who
accompanied the pair as far as Camp
Robinson. From here Ayers travelled
on, alone with his man, and was close
" followed. by three half-breeds, who
evidently were bent on effecting the re-
lease Oh their ironed comrade, and did
not give up ther intentions until Pine

The detective and his prisoner here
boarded q freight train and turned In
together in a bunk In the caboose, the
officer now having been four nights
without sleep. About three O'Clock in

the basin washed his face and hands,
Joseph Siminole rising at the same
time. The latter asking for a drink,
and the officer told him to help himself
from the pitcher, which he did, and
having finished, said he was going out
on the platform q moment and stepped
through the doorway closing the door
behind him. Ayers threw it open and
sprang out, but Joseph Seminole was
gone. In vain the officer hunted, beat

and other likely hiding places, but
morning dawned, and the prisoner had
not been found. The aid of the cow

zest, n at three O'Clock in the after

detective being the N to collar him.
IL seems that when Joseph gave the de-
tectiye the slip, he was ironed only
about the ankles, and travelled four
miles nthat condition. Then he stop
