Rudyard Kipling frequently passed his

Welfare fell IN. Mr.. Kipling called

ALLEGED MAIL ROBBER CAUGHT
SUPPOSED TO HAVE HELD UP a
STAGE IN WYOMING.
Work Was Cleverly Done, But He
Couldn't Cover Up His Tracks
From the Officers.
Special to The Herald.)

Lander, Wyo., Nov. S.-Sheriff Grim
nett of Lander, accompanied by Post
master Gates of Myersville and Post
master Fletcher of Ronge, this morning
captured D. H. Phillips. the supposed
mail robber who robbed the mail
coaches of the RawIins- Lander mail
route on the night of Nov. 3, near
Myersville on the Sweetwater.
Phillips was a fool and had taken
southeasterly course. He had hid his
plumber in the rocks and had gone TO
the Mcintosh ranch near Split Rock.
fifty miles from Myersville, to get
something to eat and rest for the night.
The officers took up his trail at
Myersville yesterday morning and fol-
lowed it the whole of the day and last
night, coming up with him just at day
light this morning. He was still asleep
and was taken without any difficulty,
he not attempting any resistance.
A number of articles of mail matter
found on his person. His cache was not
discovered although the whole of today
was spent in hunting for it.
Phillips denies the charge of robbery
He was brought back to Myersville
where on tomorrow he will nave a pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Ora
ham.
Phillips at one time was stock ten
der on the Rawlins-Lander stage line.
His work of robbing the mails was very
cleverly done, but the covering up of
his tracks was most bungleSome. The
officers had but little difficulty in fol-
lowing. He scattered the mail matter
of the mail pouches everywhere.

Senate-26 Democrats, 10 Republicans,
2 Populists. Total, 3S.
