to the effect that there Is now little hope
OF the sherifl's posse ovsrtaking the men
who held up the Great Northern express
train at Wagner, Mont, last Wednesday.
A correspondent has just returned from
the sectinn Of the country whore Tho
posses were expected to overtaks the rob
bers. He says that the pursursrs have
been outwltted. =
There are two theories presented. Ono
10 that the outlaws who are far better
mounted than their pursurers, have
already crossed the Missouri River and..ars

the-Wall country In Wyoming. the most
notorious refuge for criminals IN tho
United States. This place Is "a fastnsss
practically impregnable and capable Of
being successfully defended by few mon
agal nst almost any force
The other theory 10 that the robbers
have gained the intrlcaclss of the Bad
Lands along the Missouri river, near the
Little Rockies, and are thore awaiting
the time when the chase shall have grown
cold and then will seize favorable oppor
tunity TO ford the river at place where

The facts in the case are these: the
station master at Carrcroft is not of
age 40 he could not be put in charge
Of the mails. but be being a capable
young man and unders landing the
duties of postmaster thoroughly, his
mother was appointed SO that her
son could look after the Office.
The appointment of Mrs, Philips
came through Congressman Ball and
was recommended by DR.. Harvey
