three women on Grand mesa Also that
these persons were men dressed in wo-
mems clothes.
1t was reported the bank had more
money after the robbery than before,
when in fact they were 5000 out.
Bill McCarty was said to have passed
through Grand Junction Saturday morn
ing. No doubt he gave them particulars.
Several citizens Monday were follow

declaring she were man dressed in
women's clothes.
The La Sale mountains and Moab
valley is noted retreat for bandits, bank
robbers, horse thieves, and criminals of
all kinds, and it is seldom any one ven
lures in that country. If parties attempt
to enter their domain these residents
nearly always politely tell them to turn
around and go back.
Ex-Sheriff Gheen's posse, consisting of
DR.. Blachley, Arthur T. Howard, W. A.
Shepherd, Robert Wilson, himself and
Mr.. Martin of Escalante returned yester-
day evening bringing more of the horses
they had in camp below Escalante.
These are good horses. One of them
had been packed, but the pack was
found on the ground before they reached
the horses.
Bill no doubt concluded these arti-
al L
ing for his life. They came upon camp
fire in which were live Goals. They
trailed him several miles, but finally got
mixed up with the boy tracks Of the
range, and besides this particular part
OF Utah is not very inviting to men on
the hunt for criminals.

The cypher dispatch used by Tom
McCarty in calling his gang together
was: Stock selling high; get ready to

1t would make persons head whirl
to believe all the stories and theories
brought forward connected with the late
tragedy.
There is not a woman in town but will
look under the bed for a robber every
night before retiring.
1t was lucky Simpson killed the Nc
Cartys for it would be shame to have
Delta county prosecute them, and Gov
ernor Waite pardon them.
When rumor is run to the source in
this tragedy it is apt to fatten out very
smooth.
Mat. l.. Koppin and son, OF the Mont
rose Enterprise were in town on Sunday
looking over the scene OF the tragedy.
Ray Simpsons mail is full OF letters of
congratulation from all parts OF the
United States. The western bankers
will no doubt make him substantial
reward.
