the pumps are running steadily and the
water is being lowered at the rate of
about 6 in. a day.

THE OUTLAWS.
Doubled on their Tracks and Went
North.

The Phoebe Record Of the 2lst inst.
saws that the two outlaws who shot
Will Griswold In White Pine County
and were reported last week to be work
ing their way southwark, appear to
have gone no further south than Pony
Springs. 1t was here they stole the
horse belonging to Pacheco, the mail
carrier, and were supposed to have gone
southwest.
Later advices however, indicate that
they struck northeast from Pony near
ly doubling back on their track. and
went via Wilson Creek to Camp valley,
stealing and changing horses as they
went.
Their doings In White Pine county
have been heralded ahead of them and
one or two of Hyde s sheep dippers took
up their trail from Camp Valley but no
further news has come to hand.
The cold blooded, murderous way in
which tho pair treated Griswold, and
their depredations at other points show
them to be capable of almost any con-
ceivable crime. They are more to be
feared than Indians, and should he
hunted until brought to Justice.
