Salt Lake, May 31.-The outlaws who
killed Sheriff Tyler and Cattleman
jenkins are now supposed to be near
Powder Springs, Wyoming. according
to advices from Nernal. Utah. Deputy
Sheriff Tolliver's posse is hot after
them. As the posse has fresh horses
and the outlaws jaded animals. 1t *
believed that Il meeting is imminent
There is hardly a doubt that somebody
will be killed, as the outlaws are splen-
didly armed, and the posse is deter
mined to get them, dead or alive.
Three outlaws seen east of Cisco,
and at first supposed to be the mur
derers, We're seen near Nernal at u
O'Clock tonight They had evidently
been hiding in that vicinity. Sheriff

them at any time. They are headed

three of the gang passed through the
country east of Green River from Hill

The trio ran into a cattle roundup be-

the cowmen knew nothing of the crime
and allowed the outlaws to pass. The

We're well armed.
A fresh posse is being organized in

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS IN
COLORADO.

The prospects of Republican success
in the coming presidential campaign
in this state grows brighter and bright
er The attendance at the recent state
convention to select delegates to Phila-
delphia demonstrated the interest that
is going on all over the state, and is
n bright omen for an old-fashioned Re-
publican victory in November next.
The issue of expansion appeals
strongly to voters of this state, who
can readily see that the Republican
policy on that question means the de
velopment of the immense mineral re
sources of this state. The business
man of this state wants no change in
the administration ut Washington. A
business man who was an ardent sup
porter of Bryan four years ago voiced
this sentiment in conversation with
the writer a few days ago, when he
stated: 81 have invested 100000 in
cattle within the last thirty days, and
would never have made the investment

Wondering About Pretoria.

London, June Although the war
office has not received n word about it,
no one in London harbors the idea that
the Boer capital is not already in the
hands Of the British, or about TO be
there. The possession of Johannes
burg, at all events, as Lord Roberts
has telegraphed, is fact.
The present seat of the Boer govern
ment, according to Il dispatch from
Lourenzo Marques, dated yesterday. is
Middleburg, but it will probably be
shifted further east.
The Mail says 1t has received cable
dispatches this afternoon from Pre-
toria completely confirming Lord Ross
lyn's dispatch of yesterday announc-
ing the imminent fall of the capital of
the Transvaal
