murder of poor Ben Buchanan ut his
ranch just above Price station about
Jhe middle OF July last. Since that
time TIE DISPATCH feelerS have been
at work trying TO locate Sheriff Fowler.

the trail all right but we also thought
he might diyuIgs a lew points that
would at least partially satisfy the hun
grv public. AT last we feTretcd him
out at Grand Junction.
"Heuo!" he says, THE MORNING
DIsPATcH, Wei, how are you? Yes,

from G. J. ID. Williams that Strother /.
Cuddy, of Fruita, tells that he saw two

driving this identical team over the /
White river road in the direction OF |
Douglas creek about ten or twelve days |

about FOUR miles west of Fruita. The /

undoubtedly be captured by the Off
