TRACKING THE OUTLAWS.
War to determination Says Gov.
Wells of Utah.---Headed
Through Colorado.

INTOuSU NOIOTduO.
The following special was sent to the
Sentinel this morning from the Denver
News "OuI laws who shot Grand county,
Utah sheriff headed through northwest
ern Colorado. Keep sharp lookout
for developments in that direction"
Reports that come from Thompson's
show that the outlaws started in the di,
rection indicated in the telegram. Sher-
itf Wallis received apother telegram yes
terday telling him to keep watch in the
same direction.
The following from the Salt Lake Tri-
bune gives an extended account OF the
feeling in and around Thompsons and in
fact throughout the state OF Utah. 1t
is now the determination to run these
murderers down, it matters uot what the
cost may be.
Cattlemen and others in that section
OF the country are grea ly angered and
excited. They swear that they will ex
ter mate the entire gang, no matter
what the cost.
Only one of the desperadoes is known,
and he goes by the name Of "Dilley,"
and from this it is thought that the IA
tai shot was fred by Dilley.
There has long been personal enmity
between the two. Last fall Dilley hit
Jenkins on the head with six shooter
during fight, and there has been
warrant out for him ever since.
r. L. Fullerton, manager Of the Web
ster City Cattle company, with some en-
ployes, was expected to arrive in Thomp-
sons this afternoon. Their route ran
near the outlaws camp, and as no word
has been heard from them up to mid
night, it is feared that they also have
had an encounter with the desperadoee.
Gov. Wells was notified, and he
promptly guaranteed all expenses Of the
small army which is being organized
from every county in this half of the
state. AS there are thought to be at
least twenty outlaws in the gang, des-
parate battle will ensue when they meet
the posse.
The men are thought to belong to the
band that held up Union Pacific train
in Wyoming year ago. dynamited the
express car, and secured large amount
of money. They have boasted that they
have whipped thirty men in Wyoming,
and can do the same in Utah.
About fifty are already engaged in the
chase, and by to morrow the number
will probably be doubled.
Late advices are to the effect that
every available horse and riffs in east
ern Utah has been pressed into service
in the determination to exterminate the
outlaws,
Governor Wells said tonight: 81 had
been led to believe that all the notorious
outlaws had been driven out OF the Rob-
bers' Roost country, and l do not be-
lieve Low that the murderers are among
those for whom rewards are standing.
That country has been secured by the
officers only recently, but it was to all
appearances deserted. The bandits are
undoubtedly far across The border OF
Wyoming, or some other near state.
"The state will do everything possible
to run these murderers and the whole
band out OF the country. These TRACE
dies are becoming to common. That
country has got to be cleaned out"
Governor Wells pays high tribute to
the murdered sheriff, with whom he was
we'll acquainted.
"He had the courage OF lion," says
governor, land was always striving to
earn credit for the state and himself.
His excellent record is before the peo-
pie and will not be forgotten"
