ST. LOUIS, June 27.-R. c. Taudy, oc-
cupant of the Bellefontaine farm on the
site of the old Fort Bellefontaiue. six
miles from the mouth of the Missouri river
came into the city with beer bottle con-
tanning rather sensational note written
in lead pencil, in good hand. The bot
tie was picked up on the river bank by
his son.
The note, which was turned over
to Chief of Police Harrigan, is
as follows: "6-12-95. Whoever finds
this bottle: We have been kid
naped by gang of cut throats and
thieves and are held on an island in the
Platte river near Omaha, Neb They
are not only thieves, but counterfeiters,
and have their headquarters in Omaha
near the Douglass street bridge. Come
to our rescue and you will be literally
rewarded. Go to the mouth of the Elk
horn river and stop at the third island
down stream. For Gods sake come
quick"
The note is signed A. Pilford and John
Buckmaster.
The Omaha authorities will be notified
to Investigate.

Officers Found Them But Were So Badly
Scared They Let Them Escape.
HENNEssEY. Ok, June GA posse of
deputy sheriffs from Woodward, Ok,
who have been hunting Tip Wyatt, alias
Dick Year, and gang for the past week,
came suddenly upon four of them sixty
miles west of Hennessey, while they
were preparing supper. The officers
were as badly surprised as the outlaws,
and after firing few shots retreated to
a safe position.
The outlaws took advantage of the de-
lay and quickly mounted their horses
and attempted to escape. The Off
GERS after short delay started
in pursuit Shots were exchanged as
rapidly as their guns could be loaded and
during the fight Charley Black, brother
OF Tulsa Jack, who was killed in thu
Cimarron fight eight weeks ago, was Sc
rlously wounded in the hip.
Three of the outlaws horses were
killed and one of the officers was
slightly wounded. The wounded ontlaw
was tied to his horse aud the retreat con :
tinued to Waters ranch, where they OBJ
tanned fresh horses. In the darkness the
outlaws made their escape and the offic-
ers gave up the pursuit.
The bandits continued east and crossed
the Rock Island railway one mile south
of Hennessey. A posse from here is in
pursuit, but are SO far behind that it is
doubtful if they will capture them.

Carroll is not going to live in it, but
his older brother Frank and his charm

place for them, and to that end, have
purchased it and will move into it soon.
