was made, the numerous men on
horseback being relied on to stop them.
Wild Rumors in Town.
In the meantime the widest sort of
rumors spread through the city. A
young man said he had seen the two
boys going through the cemetery with
three rifles, one evidently wounded
ported by the other. On the heels
of this came story from
young man, who said he knows George.
He said he was up near the Parley'S
canyon canal and saw the two boys
going along, armed with three rifles
and three pistols. He amplified by
saying the boys were evidently very
weak. They were said to look very
white and to be hardly able to drag
one foot after another. This news,
curiouSly enough, received confirma-
ton from several different sources and
attracted attention.
Warden STARK Takes q Hand.
AT this time all the available police
were in the canyon. Not one could be
sent out, and as a consequence Mr..
Jennings appealed for aid to Warden
Stark, who said he would go out per-
Sonally with a couple of men to scour
/ the country. 1t was thought they
would make their way to the house of
Georges stepmother, about a mile and
half south of Wagener's brewery.
Some excitement was caused by a re-
port of shooting in the vicinity of the
chase, but report was later received
from Warden Stark saying nothing
had rewarded the chase.
Other rumors were started also by
some wags who showed ill-breeding. 1t
was said Captain Donovan had been
killed while various other mishaps
We're cited. All flew up and down the
street. Facts were so utterly distorted
that no good idea of what had really
happened was prevalent. Anxious in
quiries were constantly received and
the headquarters was kept constantly
busy with denials.

UNPRECEDENTED ACTION.
Boys Have Made u Record for Fool
hardness and ReckIessneSs.

The actions of the boys now cor
rallied in Salt Lake City have been
without precedent in our territorial
history. The idea that after running
away from our officers they should re-
turn to the scene of their trouble be-
fore the first breeze had died away
was something unheard of. When the
matter was first suggested and all the
signs pointed to the coming this way
Of the boys, it was ridiculed right and
left.
The manner of the boys, too, was
queer. They did not modest passers-by
on the road, but rather appeared to
want to be on friendly terms. They
Travelled along just as ordinary people
do and would hardly have been no

plicity of rifles.

thickly settled region of the territory,

their identity. They stopped very qui-

in the timber of the ravine there This
timber, red cedar and scrub oak, in
gnarled luxuriance, was about fifteen
feet high and the task of find

parallel with the famous search of
D1oSenes for an honest man. 1t
meant certain death to any man who
would venture into the forest after
the desperate youngsters, and the Of
ficers therefore adopted the expedient
of Kidding the forest with bullets
from their Springfield rifles. These

An Ideal Hiding Place.
Tai. ler's Flat is an ideal hiding
place. L abounds with rocks, willows
and other luXuriant growths of the
canyon. IN the underbrush a man
could be ten feet from another and
not see him. The generally willowy
effect in City Creek canyon was merely
intensified in this fat until to find a
man in it would seem an impossible
ity.
There was only one thing to be done+
Reinforcements in large numbers
must be brought 10 the men. Captain
Donovan, who had been out all night
and morning without food or water,
and Officers Sheets and Shannon,
who were only in a slightly better
condition, were delegated to go to the
station, take the outlaws horses with
them and send food, ammunition and
reinforcements into the canyon.

IN BLOODY KENTUCKY.
Another Shocking Assassination Added
to its Long List of Duels.

Louisville, June "a special to the
Courier-Journal from Harrodsburg, Ky,
says: A most shocking assassination
and suicide occurred one mile from Har-
rodshurg about 1 o'clock today on the
Warwick road, on the premises of Patrick
Higgins.
Daniel Warner fired bullet into the
back of Higgins, who instantly fell dead,
shot through the heart. Warner then ran
about hundred yards and placed his
smoking revolver behind his ear and fired
ball into his own head. He lived but
an hour after shooting himself.
Warner was quite wealthy.
Patrick Higgins was a Confederate
Ranger during the war, was about 90
years old and leaves wife and several
children.
Warner lived in q house on Higgins
farm and the wives of the two men did
not get along together amicably. Warner
had made to his wife repeated threats to
kill Higgins and then himself. His wife
had kept his revolver hidden, but this
morning he found it and waited in Hig-
gins barn until his victim came along,
when he stepped out and without word,
shot him.
