at once notified the Laramie police.
Night Officer Ferber went to Red Buttes.
and in returning on a freight noticed
two men whom he believed to be the
parties wanted, just south of the Lara
mfe yards. Jumping from the freight
train, he gave chase. calling upon the
men to halt, but they didn't seem at all
inclined t o obey the command. Ferbef

and opened fire with his revolver, but
the robbers kept on running. one going
toward the Hunt slaughter house and
the other turning off to the left. Fou,
shots in all were fired by the officer, but
all were wild. Finally. the fugitive was
exhausted, gave up the race, and was
brought to the city and placed in the
county Jail.

really too bold at a later hour. After
we had passed through the yards we
met a freight train, from which a man

county and was inclined to surrender,

TO my heels. Davis can get a tomato

years than take the chances and endure
the suffering necessary in making an es-
cape. We were dressed in slippers and
