plan to ditch and rob the Union Pacific
passenger train, near Carbon, Wy

Widdowfeld and Tip Vincent, q scout,
who tracked them to Elk Mountain, was
brought here this morning, down the
Missouri River, from Miles City, Mon
taus, where he was recently captured by
Deputy United States Marshal Irwin,
who got the drop on him. Sheriff Ran
kin, of Rawlins, Wye, who has Parrot
in charge, left for homo with him on the
noon train. The chances are that the
friends Of Widdowfeld and Vincent, at
Carbon, will treat him TO q lynching, as
they did Dutch Charley. Big Nose
George i under indictment for murder.
His arrest, and that of other desperadoes
at Miles City, will probably break up the
contemplated organization Of band OF
outlaws on the northern frontier, who, il
is thought, were preparing to raid the
Union Pacific and other roads, and to
rob stage coaches.
