RE on the 18th day of April
The posse had separated from Sher-
if Preece Of Uintah county and posse
early in the morning, the latter being
about three miles away when the
shooting occurred.
The story of the killing as told bY
Deputy Sheriff Day. who was only
about fifty yards away when the shoot
ing occurred, Is as follows:
The officers came upon the outlaws
camp Unexpectedly. As soon as they
saw the outlaws they dismOunted and
advanced towards them.
When within few yards from the
outlaws, Sheriff Tyler spoke to them,
saying: Hello, boys!"
The reply made could not be heard
by Deputy Sheriff Day but immediate
~ after it was made, Sheriff Tyler and
jenkins turned towards their horses,
supposedly with the intention Of leav-
ing to get more assistance.
Shot Through the Back.
AS soon as their backs were turned

back. the bullets coming out of their
breasts. killing them almost instantly.
Mr.. Day was a witness 10 the killing,
but was in such a position that he
could offer no assistance. AS soon as
they were killed he started for assist

guns on him, shooting twice, but
missed him.

Mr.. Day saw three outlaws, but is sure
there are more of them.
They left the bodies of Sheriff TYLER

The bullets used by the outlaws were
of the soft-nose variety and where they
came out there are holes almost Iar~e
enough for a man to insert his fist.

the cowardly killing and asked for as

Jailer T. F. Thomas handling this part
of the work AT 1915 the car went out
on a freight, and it is hoped that it will
reach ThompsOns no more than several
hours behind the men tomorrow after
noon.
The murdered sheriff had many
friends in Salt Lake, and his clear
cut, honest features have been seen
here as recently as two weeks ago,
when he was the guest of Joe Bush,
who has since gone to Cape Nome.
The sheriff's last important capture
was that of George Currie, one of the
bandits implicated in the Union Pacific
train robbery last year at Rock Greek,
Wyo. Currie was shot in a running
fight with the officers over in the same
locality where brave Tyler laid down
his life, the sheriff being at the head
of the posse.

Governor Wells has requested that ev-

everybody is determined that the muir

Big Fight Certain.
A hard fight viii surely occur if they
succeed in overtaking the outlaws. as
the latter have made their brags that

and can do the same in Utah.
Only one of the outlaws is positively
known, that is Dilley. Some of the
others are supposed to have been impli-
Gated in the train robbery on the Union
Pacific railway about a year ago. When
sam Jenkins fell he said "Dilley." and
from that remark it is thought the fatal
shot was fred by Dilley. There has been
an enmity between Dilley and Sam
Jenkins. Last fall they had a diff

the head with six-shooter, and there
is now warrant for his arrest on the
charge.

Bishop Seaman, who was seen last

a letter from the secretary of the del

of the proposed visit, and ne at once

LONDON EDITORS ARE SOLEMN
Feel Melancholy Over the Fall of Some
Military Idols.

London, April 1S.-The government
has chosen this as the moment to pub
lish a dispatch from Lord Roberts
pronOuncing censure upon Sir Redvers
Butler and Sir Charles Warren, two
of his most important subordinate COM
manders. This dispatch, written Feb.
-. has been in the hands of the war
office for five weeks. Just why il is
published now, in the middle of the
campaign. is not understood, unless il
is expected that General Butler and
General Warren will ask TO be relieved
of their commands. The revelation of
their incapacity must tend to under
mine the confidence of the troops in
theri leadership.
Lord Roberts dispatch, with the en-
closure, is the great feature of the
London press this morning. In a long
editorial The Daily News speaks of the
somewhat appalling language" of the
dispatch. and then goes on TO say:
Upon the whole these dispatches are
disquieting and disheartening to no
ordinary degree. Following
Immediately upon the recall of Gen
eral Gatacre they will create a wide
spread feeling Of uneasinesS and
anxiety"
The Standard, which is supposed TO
be in the confidence of the govern
ment. says: 1T is scarcely likely. that
the publication Of Lord Roberts dis
patch Is without a purpose. 1t ir-
reSistibly suggests whether il is not to
be followed by further important
changes In the South African com
mandS. Painful as such measures may
be there must be no hesitation in car
rying them out if they are required in
the public interest"
The Daily Telegraph compliments
Lord Roberts upon not hesitating,
where great national interests are at
stake. To wound private susceptible
ties" The Daily Chronicle cOnfesses
To "a feeling something like cOnsterna-
tion when reading the extraordinary
passages Of the dispatch.
The TiIXcs says: Lord Roberts Sc
we're condemnation is justified only too
clarly by the official narratives of
what took place. The story is painful:
the army that il should he told clearly
and simply. without cOncealment or eX
aggeration. 1t is not the least of the
great services Lord Roberts is now
the country that he exposes
with judicial impartiality and wise,
severity errors and omis
siOns in high quarters which have cost
us so very much"
Whether the government has any
special purpose or not in publishing
the dispatch. the way in which it has
been received will make it most difficult
to retain the cenSured commanders in
