tract called for 225 barrels of first patent,

Salt Lake, whittier he came by way of
Cheyenne, where he lett Parker, the
Muddy Creek stage and United States
mail robber, whose preliminary eZamin-
alton will take place at Rawlins at the
next term of court. Mr.. Bush said that
last August he located the gang in the
Blue mountains of Utah. Their names
are Frank Rogers, alias Brown, and
Dan Parker, alias Ricketts,. Both of
them are Utah desperadoes, though
Rogers has lived and operated in Texas q
great deal. Parker was from Circle
Valley originally. al went in with q
possee after them,' said Mr.. Bush,
t'but only succeeded in getting Parker
after chasing the gang from Wyomi to
Utah, thence to New Mexico, thence
back to the Blue mountains, and finally
to the LaSalle mountains, where
Parker was captured after
desperate resistance. I failed to
capture Rogers, for the reason that the
region was inhabited by rustlers, horse
thieves and more desperate criminals,
fugitives from Colorado, New Mexico,
Kansas and elsewhere, not to mention q
lot of renegade Indians from the Ute
and Pine River tribes. The moment
marshal strikes into the region they light
signal fires, and the game is up then.
These renegade devils last year, by the
way, killed over 5000 deer just for the
hides, and let the carcasses rot where
killed. 1t is hard country, and q mar

AN ENCOUNTER
FOR FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS
WORTH OF DIAMONDS.
A Bold Trick which Came Near Being
Successful.
by telegraph to the Dispatch.l

CaIcAGo. April 3.-An exciting encounter
for Sl,bO0 worth of diamonds occurred to-
dsy IN room at the Palmer House. One
OF the coinbatants was young man VINO
registered at the hotel Sunday under tho
name OF Ralph Allen. This afternoon he
sent 70 Hyman's jewelry store and several
other similar establishments asking that
some diamonds be sent him for inspection.
IN making the request he wrote incidentally
that ne was confined to the hotel with q
sprained ankle.
Salesman w. A. Bigler was sent by BY
man 90. 10 make inquiries concerning
Allen, and found him bathing one ankle
and wanting the diamonds TO make pres
ent. Inc salesman was suspicious. but de-
clded 70 return with an assortment or gems
ana take the precaution to have hotel
porter named Perret stationed near at
hand. When Bigler reentered with his
$1,000 assortment of sparklers Allen
made careful selection, and then
bobbed around the back Of the sales
man ostensibly to get the money
TO pay tor the purchase. Instead the tel-
low pulled heavy cane from under the
mattress and felled BIgler TO the floor,
The salesman, a sturdy siI-footer, strug-
gled up and grappled with Allen, mean
while yelling 10 the porter. Before the
latter individual gathered his wits Allen
had broken the cane in four pieces over
Bigler's head and dashed down the hall
way. To persons who attempted TO stop
him, he shouted: Catch that insane
man." pointing back as he ran.
Time-keeper Gregg, Of the hotel staff,
was the only person not fooled by this
cry. Gregg finally overhauled Allen in a
room into which he had lodged and taken
refuge under the bed.
Aliens papers indicate that he came
from Washington, and possibly his name is
George 4. Pace. The salesman has a num-
Der Of gaping scalp-wounds. but will re-
cover. None of the diamonds were lost.
