WAR AT CASPER.
BLOODY BATTLE LIKELY TO
TAKE PLACE TODAY.
Strong Force of Officers and Cow
boys March Against the BUSTERS
Threaten Death to the Entire
Party.
(special to The HeraldA

Casper, Wyo., July 30.-This morn
ing Casper presented a warlike aspect
when a large force of men. all well
mounted and armed to the teeth and
composed of sheIiffs, their deputies and
Bob Devine, foreman OF the &c W cat
tie outfit and his nervy aggregation of
cowboys, formed near the center of the
town and rode away to the north:
Just before leaving Bob Devine re-
ceived a message direct from the Hole
ln-uhe- Wall rustlerS, warning his to re-
main at Casper or ne and the entire
party would be ambushed and killed.
This message from the cattle rustlers'
rendezvous only added to the deter
mination of the brave fellows to meet
and do battle with the outlaws. In the
party was the Belle Fourche, s. D., sher-
if with four deputies, armed with
warrants for the Roberts brothers,
Harve Bay and George Currie, the out
laws who participated in the Belle
Fourche bank robbery and who are
known TO have returned to their old
haunts in the Hole-in-the Wall.
Sheriff Sproal and deputies of John
son county and Sheriff Patton of Nat
roma county wereSalso members of the
party.
A terrible and deadly battle is ex-
pected as the posse of sheriffs is deter
mined TO capture the outlaws, for four
of whom reward of $4,000 is offered
for the Belle Fourche bank robbery and
the cowboys are determined to COM
plete the roundup, and the rustlers
are equally determined to evade cap
ture and if possible kill Devine and
other members of the party. Some
thing startling will probably be re-
ceived here from the Hole-in-t he-Wan
not later than tomorrow night.
Chester B. Bradley, a leading Repub-
lican state politician, who has been re-
tanned as counsel by the rusGlers, tele-
graphed Governor Richards today that
an invasion was starting out from Cas-
per similar to that of four years ago,
at which time Champion and Ray, Two
rustlers, were killed. Governor Rich
ards paid no attention to this as he
knew sheriffs We're in the party. 1t de-
veloped that Bradley was beastly
drunk when he wired the governor.

237 East Thirteenth street, We're this
morning sentenced to Is years in Sing
Sing
Graves was one of the young men
who were charged with the robbery of
the Utah Loan and Trust bank at Og-
den, Utah, of which Graves brother
was an officer, and having been arrest
ed in New York, they fought the ex-
tradition. The lawyers did this sue
cesSfully.
Ryan and Graves lured Clark to the
Thirteenth street house, where they
had a fiat, on the pretense that they
Clark wanted to buy. When they got
the head with a heavy weapon, robbed
him of nearly $500 in cash and then
poured acid down his throat. Clark's
mouth was badly burned by the acid,
but he managed to make the thieves
believe that he was unconscious, and in
an unguarded moment the men turned
away from Clark. He was at the win
dow in an instant and gave the alarm.
The men were arrested.
Ryan and Graves pleaded guilty yes
terday in the court of general sessions.
Justice Newburger called them up
for sentence this morning. He gave
them a very severe lecture. He told
them that their crime was one of the
boldest and most outrageous he had
ever known. He said that they need
expect no clemency from him. He
then sentenced them to Is years in
Sing Sing at hard labor Lawyer
Dineen appeared for the prisoners.
