for Browns Park. Wyoming. and from
there work their way into the Hole-in-
the-Wal country.
MORE THAN ONE ROUTE.
Then again It is argued the bandits
could Just as well turn on their own
trail and get down into the Robbers
ROOst section onto the Colorado river,
cross 10 the west on Green river and
take 10 the San Rafael hills, or get over
the Colorado line toward Meeker and
the White river section through Range
valley. They will only be likely 10 Sc
lect one or the other OF these routes
after having learned that the officers
had taken up their trail.
NO TRAIL LEFT.
All trace Of anything near approach
ing the trail Of the outlaws from Turn
ers was without doubt destroyed by the
heavy winds OF sunday night SO II
follows that II the posses hope to find
out the direction the men took, they
will be compelled to take up a new
scent.
As stated IN yesterdays dispatches TO
the News kilograms were sent out by
Sheriff Preece yesterday 10 western
Colorado and the southern and eastern
counties OF Wyoming. while the officers
OF the law In southern Utah are on the
watch tower. and should anything be
seen or heard OF the murdeTers an en-
deayor will be made 20 get word TO
the men now out searching for them.
SYMPATHY FOR BANDITS.
A strange and almost inconceivable
feature Of Saturdays tragedy, as well
as the previous killing Of officers In this
county, Is the sympathy shown the
murderers by ranchers and others. A
man who knows whereof he speaks told
the writer yesterday that he knew Of
numerous instances where the outlaws
had ben given assistance. in the shape
% 2 fiU1h slFply 10 horses, pro Visions
etc. Why he said, these fellows
never could have held out as long as
they have. ana so successfully eluded
the officers, were Il not for the fact that
they have friends on the outside who
keep them supplied and notified Of what
Is going on"
The News" informant further said
that the news OF the killing was known
among certain ones In several OF the
southern towns before daylight Sunday
morning. The significance OF this be-
comes apparent when Il is stated that
the officers Of the law received no It'd
ings OF the affair until long away in the
afternoon Of the same day. and then Il
came from Salt Lake through Governor
Wells. The News man asked how
Il was the officers did not cause the
arrest Of these alleged sympathizers,
and the reply was; "Why they can't get
anyone TO testify. for the reason Il Is
known that Il would be as much as d
mans lifes worth to peach
STRONGER IN GRAND JUNCTION
The sympathy for the bandits IS said
TO be even stronger In Grand Junction.
A gentleman well known IN this city
who came in from Grand Junction yes
terday. said he heard several people
say It served Sheriff Tyler and Sam
Jenkins right, and they hoped the
murderers would be able 10 get away;
that Tyler had shot unarmed men on
more than one occasion. and they were
glad he had been given dose Of his
own medicine.
WHO KILLED THE MEN2
Speculation as TO who did the killing
is stlll being INDUCED In. sheriff
Preece before starting out told the
"News' man that he believed the work
was done by strangers In the country
the men who killed the Mormon boys
In Arizona last March. This belief Is
shared by many others the strongest
point in II being the brutality OF the
two murders, which are almost identi-
cal
Mr.. Robert Fullerton, who was with
the Preece posse at the time OF the
shooting. has found out that five days
after the killing Of Flat Nose George "
three men. answering the description
OF Saturdays gang. were seen near the
Webster ranch. They told an employe
Of the ranch that they were looking for
the money cached by the dead bandit,
whom they referred to as their leader.
They did not know the exact amount
OF money he had when pursued by the
officers, but thev believe IL was In the
neighborhood OF 5000. Al the time
they had a copy OF a Salt Lake paper,
dated April rs. 1900 containing cut Of
! Currie ("Flat Nose GeOrge'D and an
account OF the killing. The paper they
said, they bought at Price, where they
claimed 10 have friends. Later the msn
three In number--crossed the Colo-
RADIO river They were next seen at
Moab which was on May 23rd. They
were then going north. At several
! places they stopped TO enquire the road
| TO the country where Currie was killed.
They were In Thompson's on May
Gath. the day after they were seen IN
Moab They did not pass through the
town ofrhompson's but crossed the rail-
road about a mile west Of the depot.
| The next thing seen Of them was as
/ they We're about 20 enter Thompson's
canyon. This was on Thursday last,
two days before the killing The place
where the shooting occurred was fifty
miles from Thompson's, which would
be about the distance the men could
easily have Travelled after they were
last seen. Mr.. Fullerton's theory Is
that these men killed TYLER and Jen-
I kins. and future developments may
prove his theory 70 be correct
FuLLERToNs STORY
mr. Fullerton tells an interesting
story Of Deputy Days arrival with the
news OF the killing. Il was riding
leisurely down the canyon" he said
the other four boys being some dis
lance ahead when / heard the shout
/ OF a man 4 wheeled around and saw
Dav coming toward me waving his
hands, yelling az the top OF his voice
