He then went up the creek to Smiths
cabin and remained there all night Next
morning (Thursday) he came down to the
camp and found the bed undisturbed and
the horses gore. This noted, he went up
the creek once more, and in company
with Mr.. Smith, went into the brush
where the shots had been fired and found
Rogers dead body weltering in blood.
Two shots had entered the body, one close
near the point of the chin, and ranging
upward, the other farther under the jaw,
as if after the first shot the head had been
thrown back and another fired at about
the same aim. Rogers suspenders had
been taken off and tied around his neck,
and by this means the body dragged about
sixty steps, though for what definite pur-
pose is unknown; perhaps with an idea Of
concealment, which was hastily abandoned
as impracticable. The roll of money,
amounting to over $500, which Rogers
had displayed, had been taken from his
body, but another package, containing
$3.50, concealed in a separate pocket, had
not been discovered and was untouched

was to be found in the vicinity, and
information having been laid Justice
Davis of that locality issued a warran:
and placed it in the hands of Constable
Hineman. White Calfee, of Bozeman,
happened to be in the vicinity and joined
the pursuing party. Clark had worked
for him up to within few days previous,
being then discharged as an untrustworthy
character. The pursuers came down the
Yellowstone and at Ringsby's found that d.
man Of Clark's description had reused the
proprietor the preceding night at about
12 o'clock and had bought some whiskey.
Following farther down the river to 81

miles from Livingston, they learned that

had been abandoned by Clark, as it after

had worked for Calfee he had confided to
the latter that he was engaged to Miss
Belle Hawkes., a young woman who, with
her parents, lives about three quarters of
mile above Livingston. The course taken
by Clark made it apparent to Calfee that
the criminal was heading for the abode of
his lady love, and when the pursuing party
arrived in Livingston Mr.. Calfee went to
his friend, W. M. Wright, of the firm Of
Wright & Holiday, and told him the
story and his opinion of where Clark

made for the capture. Constable Hiue-
