They VIII lie Held for Further
Identification.

Local authorities are of the opinion that
the Blair sheriff has moro than ordinary
crooks in the persons of the two men who
were captured there last Thursday. In con-
sequence an attempt will be made to identify
them by corresponding with the police of
other cities.
One Of the men gave the name of Thomas
Williams. He is about "a years Of age and
weighs 1876 pounds He is of dark COM
pleXion and is marked with scars on the
back of the head and under the eyes. His
left arm and hand is tattooed. The other
man is also Scared and tattoed. He is
about 2S years old and weighs 165 pounds,
He gave the name Of John oleson. Both
say they came from the Black Hills.
Besides the property found in their posses
sion. which is supposed to have been stolen,
the men had three drills. This leads the
police to believe that they intended to crack
a safe before leaving the country.
