Utah line. He was tracked to near the
summit of the highest mountain on the
range. and on Thursday the crackers re.
turned to town for food and horses. None
could be obtained until the following morn
ing, when Deputy John Ewing, accompan.
led by Geo. V. Warren. who knows that

horseback. Wilson's tracks were seen ON
Saturday .by parties coming from Camp
valley, they were then within six miles of
the Utah line. Wilson is said to have
stopped one night at Charley Rosetti's cattle
camp, representing himself as a tramp from
