After a Gang of Bank Robbers.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Feb. l7.-[Spe-
cial. THE posse on the trail OF the
bank robbers, overlook them yester-
day near Putnam. They rode in sight
of them for FIVE miles, but could not
crowd them, as the robbers all had
Winchester rifles, and the arms Of the
posse consisted of pistols and shot guns.
The robbers beckOned to them several
times to ride up, and at one time when
within about $50 yards member of the
posse shot at them with his pistol, but
they did not return fire. They rode al
least forty miles by dark, and it was no
trouble to track them through the
snow. The posse will be supplied with
Winchesters, and it is believed the rob
bers will soon be captured, as the snow
is still on the ground and they can
easily be tracked.
The First National Bank of All any,
Texas. offers $500 reward for the cap
ture of the robbers dead or alive, (pre-
fer them dead) In all, rewards of from
5000 to $4,000 are offered. The Cisco
Cank opened as usual yesterday. Mar
shal Thomas reports that when he left
the trail they were in sand riffs fifteen
miles east of Cisco, travelling eastward.
1t was reported late last night that the
robbers had been surrounded at Battle
Creek, between Putnam and COtt on
wood, this county. A hundred and fifty
men had the thicket in which the rob
bers were hiding under guard, though
the recent heavy sleet is melting and
creating heavy fog
