Some came in ON foot and others stole
their way on the overland passenger train
which came in at o'clock this morning.
The IL :35 overland was q novel sight as il
pulled out of Puyallvp last night. Beside
carrying thirty deputy marshals in their

at the station spotter discovered the
men who were taking . bareback ride on
the top of the coaches and held the train

from the depot, where they found good
