sheriff and Posse Making Desperate
Effort "a Capture the Train
nandits-shertn Killed.

| Cheyenne. Wyo.. June IA second
battle with the dynamiters of the Union
Pacific express train has been fought I'm
the mountains 40 miles north of Casper
by the sheriff's posse which has been I'm
pursuit since Sunday morning, and as
a result one man and probably more lie
dead. The first battle was fought Sum
day on Teapot creek, 30 miles north OF
Casper. No one was wounded during
this engagement, but several horses
were killed. The second battle was
fought Monday evening AT point ten
miles farther north and In wilder
country. The robbers being closely
pressed made determined stand be-
hind some rocks in q deep ravine and
when the posse put in an appearances
opened fire nt close range. Sheriff Joe
IIazen. of Douglas. Wyo. fell at the first
fire, being shot through the stomach.
The officer was removed TO a safe place
and afterwards brought TO Casper by
two cowboys, arriving at the latter
place at noon. General Manager Dick
inson, of the Union Pacific, who has
been Mt Casper since Monday, direct
ing the work of hunting down the rob
bers, rendered the use of his private
train and IIazen was taken to his home
at Douglas. A telegram from there
Tuesday evening states that the officer
died shortly after reaching his home.
The posse resumed the fight as soon
as Hazen had been removed and was
successful in short time In driving the
robbers from their stronghold and
away from their horses, which were Sc
cured. The robbers retreated to a
natural fort among the rocks some two
miles away, where they entrenched
themselves and prepared for bitter
! fight. The posse quietly divided up and
surrounded the place and when the
courier left the scene the officers were
lying on their arms with the robbers
completely hemmed in. An urgent re-
quest was sent i'm for achievements
and a supply OF food and ammunition.
In response United States Marshal
Hadsell, of Wyoming. who had just
reached Casper from the western part
of the state where he had been hunting
I for the other three train robbers.
started out with another posse with
arms, food, ammunition, and horses in
plenty.
The capture of the three robbers who
are hemmed in the mountains As miles
north of Casper is now thought certain,
but whether they will ever reach the
railroad is another question. as there
is intense excitement in Casper and
| Douglas and talk of lynching the rob
beers IL caught is plentiful. Joe Hazen,
the dead officer, was one of the best in
the whole state and his death Is deeply
regretted.
