The posse of Sheriff Fly after the kill
Ing of Robson had q very rough trip in
their pursuit of the bank robbers. Leav-
ing the scene of the tragedy they took
the trail again and ran them over into
Animas valley, then UP to the head of it
in Chihuahua, through the canyon and
onward, when the trail was lost on ac-
count of the heavy rains. The next in
dication of their presence was found in
the ArJos mountains, where they had a
regular fertilization. The trail from
there came in the direction Of the United
states where it is probable they are
headed to Join Black Jack and Jesse
Williams
The posse Is now on the trail Of these
two outlaws at Mud Springs and a brush
with them Is probably had by this time.
