PREFERRED DEATH TO
CAPTURE BY OFFICERS
(snecial to The Herald.l

Price, Utah, April 22-The killing of
George Currie, alias James King, ends
the treacherous career of one of the most
desperate characters that has teTrorized
southern Utah and western Colorado, as
well as parts of Wyoming. The officers
and men who participated in the run
down deserve much credit for the work
they did, particularly Sherin William
Preece of Uintah county, who ran the
gantlet of a furious fusillade from the
deSperados savage rifle.
A prominent citizen of Price went TO
Thompsons yesterday and recognized the
dead bandit as James King, VINO for the
past two or three years has been in En-
cry county, working for different cattle
men. Among those who knew him, King
was reputed to have been one Of the best
marksmen in the county, either with rife
or pistol, but was always genial and &
good fellow among those who asso-
GATED with him.
The fight with the officers was not of a
running nature, as has been reported,
particularly that portion wherein the out
law was killed. 1t was a fight to the
death; the fight OF a desperate man, who
would die rather than be taken alive, and
at no time did he evidence a disposition 10
retreat, more than to shield himself from
the fusillade of bullets that was being
poured upon him by the officers from

Had Bad Reputation.

But these sheriffs and their deputies are
more satisfied with the capture than thew
could. be with the capture of mere cattle
rusaers. for Currie has a reputation
among train robbers and bad men in the
west that is we'll known
he was first heard OF during the cattle
invasion in northern Wyoming in 1892
officers were looking for Chapman and
Ray, two noted cattle thieves at that
time. They were friends of Currie. and
he was afraid that he was wanted too. SO
ne ran away. His employer, George B.
Blssell, told him that there was no dan
ger. and that he was not wanted but he
would not be persuaded to remain. and
since that time he has been an outlaw
He was next heard of in johnson coun-
ty, Wyoming, where he shot a deputy
sheriff. He was one of the leaders of an
attempt to rob the Belle Fouche bank in

When Officer Preece came upon him he
was without horses and did not have even
his coat. He had neither money nor pa

thought he was searching for his horses.
which he had hobbled out, having no feed
in his camp quarters, which he had been
scared out of by Sheriff Tyler OF Grand
county earlier in the day
When he was first sighted by Preece
and his men he was commanded 10 capt.
ulate, to which he replied: DIN if
viii; I will die first"
At the same time he fired point blank
at Sheriff Preece with his rife, the ball
burying itself in the ground at the sher-
iffs side. At this the whole posse opened
fire upon him. When he turned to walk
behind a large boulder he was presumed
to have been hit ia the back as later
developments showed a bail had been
fired into his body from behind, passing
through to the breast bone.
At about this time, Sheriff Tyler, hear
ing the firing, came TO the assistance Of
the Uintah county posse, they being on
the opposite side of the Green river, com
mencing a rapid fire from that quarter
taking refuge as did the bandit, behind
rocks or whatever objects would give
them protection against the deadly aim
Of the bandit.

The Fatal Shot.

In the meantime the outlaw had re-
ceived another bullet through the right
temple. which put an end 10 further re-
Sistance. Some time elapsed before the
officers ventured into open territory, fear
ing that perhaps the bandit. like unto the
great generals of OoEl Paul. was playing
'possum, owing to a shortage Of ammu-
milton, and was endeavoring To draw
them out into open territory that he
might slaught~- them without further
ceremony.
officer Tyler and his men crossed over
the river and closed in on him, and when
they had got in close proximity they
discovered him crouched behind a rock,
on his knees, in the attitude he had as
sumed prior to being shot through the
temple. thus making II difficult to dis
Germ from distance whether or not he
was dead or alive.
In order to protect themselves against
further danger, a member of the posse
fired another shot into the bandit from
behind making a total Of three shots
fired into his body, either one of which
would have proven fatal
The presumption is that the first shot
he received caused his death. and was
the real cause Of his having taken refuge
behind the rocks. as ne ceased firing
