Is HE CRAZY?

/ of the most accom- piished young scoun-
drels in the country. II might be that he

nights interview he said that he was tried
/ for insanity short while ago NJ Noble
/ and while he was not acquitted exactly he
was turned loose Oh account of not having
quite enough evidence then TO send HIM To
the asylum. He says, however, that lie

away. and that il would be best for them
to have him sent TO the asylum SO that no
notice would be taken OF what ne might

robbery is ceTtainiy an act that,

Emanuel Herrick is his name, and he

months old, but he looks as is be might be
nineteen or twenty. He was dressed IN

HIS ALLEGED PALS.
Herrick describes Bill Dalton as a
smooth faced man of average hight and
weight and wearing brown clothes when
ne last saw him. Those who knew Bill
Dalton state that the description
does not suit him. Herrick says that
the alleged Bill Dalton was always spokse-
man of the gang, and that when he
gave orders he always did so at the point
of his Winchester with the trigger cooked.
The other men, he said. wore whiskers
and could not describe them very
thoroughly.
A PoSSEE OUT.
Thinking that there might be some
thing in his story regarding the Dalton
gang aud that they might intend 10 rob
the train at Black Bear creek bridge today
the officers of the road have sent 4 special
train down there with posse of officers
who are fully competent to take care of
the alleged gang if they are in that
neighborhood.
