The Fremont County record. [volume] (Canon City, Colo.) 1877-18??, 1881-04-23

Monday afternoon telegram was received
from MIR. X. j. Frazier from Hamburg tell
ing the officers here to arrest and hold Coy
as he was the man they wanted. Coy was
evidently on his guard and when he saw
the commotion this dispatch created he
quietly walked out of town. As there was
some possibility of mistaken identity the
question was telegruphed to Mr.. Frazier if
he could not have made a mistake. The
answer was "No. have all papers to prove
it and am on my way home.'' Upon this a
warrant was sworn out but Coy could not
be found. Another dispatch was received
here on Tuesday night to the effect that
Chas. Coy was in Hamburg and that
Clay Coy was in Canon City. Immediately
upon the discovery that the criminal had
fled the sheriff offered
