While discussing their proposed
change of location the prisoners were
much annoyed by a Mexican comrade
who threatened to inform the officers.
He was very promptly knocked in the
head, and thrown into corner. where
he was found by the officers some
time later, unconscious and with q
cracked skull. .e
Sheriff Stewart commenced an earn.

mar Is capable of rounding them up

tion, though. All of the prisoners are
old plainsmen and know all about the
country, and with stolen horses would
make very lively time to keep out of
the way of the fire-eating sheriff
down the valley.
The men who desecrated the Sab
bath by starting an imprompeu hot

and are rated as desperate men
Their chances of conviction were 81
