at once took steps to notify the off,
Gers. AS the mails are rather irreg-
ulsr in that part of the country, it
was week after the crime was CONF
mitted before Sheriff Hawley reoeiv-
ed the news. He at once started in
pursuit and after travelling 200 miles
caught the trail of the fleeing men
and sticking to it with the tenacity of
a bulldog overhauled. his men in
Secret Canyon as before stated.
In the pusuit, the Sheriff travelled
$50 miles in six days, eating and
sleeping in the buggy and never stop
ping except to change horses which
he did about every thirty miles at the
ranches along the way.
About 4 o'clock on the morning of
the third the Sheriff came upon his
men in Secret canyon while asleep
and got within thirty feet of them be-
fore they awoke. He covered them
with double barreled shot gun and
demanded their surrender. Seeing
that their game was up, they sur
rendered without making any attempt
to use the revolver and Winchester
rifle they had under their heads.
Sheriff Hawley took his men to
Halleck and telegraphed Sheriff
Henderson to come with a team to
bring himself and his prisoners to
Elko:
The Sheriff is loud in his praise of
the treatment he received by the
people of this state along his route,
He will wait here for few days and
if the trains do not start he will re-
turn overland with his prisoners.
The pursuit and capture of these
men, as detailed above, stamps Sher-
iff Hawley as a man of wonderful
pluck and determination and proves
him to be terror to evil doors in his
county.

which extend far out under the Allan

there is coal mine the shaft of which
extends several hundred feet below
the ocean bed at that point. All the
galleries of the mine, aggregating
something like twelve miles in length,
are entirely under the ocean.
