Vernal, April 12-MarshaI Tolliver
cams back from Ouray last night,
where he went with Sheriff Preece in
answer to a telephone message from
the sheriff Of Grand county, asking for
assistance in the capture Of a gang Of
outlaws who have been surrounded in
the Book Cliff mountains, seventy miles
south Of Ouray. Mr.. TolIiver, after
learning the distance to the seat of war,
and having made no arrangements for
deputies during his absence, was COM
PEELED TO return, but Sheriff Preece hur-
ried on to the assistance Of the officials
Of the lower county.
1t was learned that wholesale cattle
rustling has been going on along the
Book mountains of late, some Of the
operations being carried on on the Uin-
tab county side of the line. The coun-
try between Ouray and the Grand
county line is an extremely rough, wild
section, and an ideal country as a hid
ing place for hunted men.
1t has been suspected for some time
that several men who are wanted for
various OffenSes were in that section,
and Sheriff Preece was planning a raid
into the country when he received word
from the Grand county sheriff.

landing. This left them within about
twelve miles of Moab, which distance
they covered by team.
Mr.. Houtz, in telling the story, says:
We saw a good deal of game along
the river, but we did not have time nor
desire to either hunt or fish. The fact
of the matter is. we did nothing but
shoot rapids all the way down, and I
want TO say to you now for the whole
crowd. we Will never attempt such a
trip again. Why, we Whirled down that
stream over rapids and falls with spray
from the splashing stream raising
eight or ten feet above our heads. and
it seemed We would be hurled to i'm
mediate destruction -
The boat was in the water about four
hours, making a distance of thirty
miles, leaving at a point on the river
known as Dewey pOstoffice," and go
ing as far down the stream as Boulder
rapids. They declare the trip was
risky, but the scenery was most beau
tiful.

payer that can be had at reasonable
figures.
Building operations continue about
the same as last week The work on

small cottages are being contracted for,
but as yet no large structures are spo-
