Intense indignation exists in the vi
entity of Washington guich over the
murder, for Cullinane was held in high
respect by all who knew him and was
without an enemy. The Washington
gulch people have decided to secure
special counsel to aid Prosecuting At
torney Duffy in the case.
8 Mr.. Duffy went to Deer Lodge yester-
day to again interrogate Clinton Dot
son and Persinger. Benson has also
been subjected to another rigid exami-
nation. Evidence is rapidly accumulat-
ing against the men, Deputy Sheriffs
Robinson and Mullin are again at
1t developed yesterday. when the
murdered mans will was filed, that his
name was spelled Cullinane, instead of
Culinam, as it has been written.
Sheriff Conley's Chase.
The college professors who were
chased up White Sulphur Springs road
were not the only innocent people who
We're mistaken for the fleeing murder
ers. A pair of boomers led ITO the de-
ception of Sheriff Conley and caused
him a buggy ride of 120 miles over what
he terms 1.-THE worst adjective, adjective
roads in the West" Here is the tale
of the boomers, as related by Sheriff
Conley yesterday:
Sunday night after Deputy Robinson
had been detailed ito look after Town
send, Logan, the White Sulphur Springs
road and vicinity, and after Deputy
Daily had been detailed at Chestnut, I
went on to Livingston and from there
to Cinnabar.
Monday at Cinnabar I received a
wire from Under Sheriff Morgan saying
Daily had wired information from
Chestnut that the parties answering the
description of those we were after had
gone through there Friday night. 1
then met Harry Hamilton of Cinnabar,
whom l knew, and learned from him
that an outfit answering the description
had passed through there Sunday night
at 10 o'clock. There were two men, so
the report said; they were driving a
small bay team in spring wagon and
one of the hind wheels of the wagon
wobbed. The only difference in the
description was these parties had led
horse They had gone through Gard
ner also, we found, and were heading
south.
Il hired a team at Cinnabar, depu-
nized Hamilton, took him with me and
struck out, going first to Mammoth Hot
Springs in the park. nine miles from
Cinnabar. / went there to learn if it
would be possible for people to get
through to Cooke City without going to
the post and registering. I found it
was. At the springs i saw Captain
Brown of the 1st cavalry, who is in
command there. He was very courte-
Gus, gave us permits to carry arms in
the park and also loaned us Winches-
ter rifle and a shotgun.
I'VE then hired team from 5. s.
