| Sheriff Campbell and Fred Ryan re-
turned the first of the week after an
unsuccessful chase after the men want
ed for obtaining goods under false
pretences, the particulars of which
we mentioned in a recent issue, Thew
were tracked to a town in Dakota CO..
Mimi, near which seems to be a
thieves rendezvous, the Sheriff of that
county saying this was not the first
outfit Che was sorry to saw, that has
disappeared at that place without
leaving any tracks. 1t seems that the
men knew where they were going,
never stopping in a town, enquiring
the way, and scarcely ever travelling
during the day. They are also want
ed in three Minnesota counties for
thlevery before coming to Iowa and
one of them for rape. They are
thoroughly bad and slippery as cells.
