hungry to wait. Mr.. Galloway and his
herder, Carl SOrensen of Ephraim,

Hello, you here?' he exclaimed.
Yes" one responded, and at that
leveled a gun on him, ordered him to
get off his horse and stand there. The
men then proceeded to loot the camp,
taking two pack outfits, all the
groceries, tobacco and apparatus, two
quilts, so pounds of flour, what oats
they could find room for and a mutton
and went their way, leaving the heruer
& few pounds of flour and a fry OF
meat This is the third or fourth
outrage of this kind that has been per
petrated by the Robbers RoOst gang
