ELUDED PURSUERS
GREAT NORTHERN ROBBERS
HAVE ESCAPED.

Specials from 4 staff correspondent oil
HE Anaconda Standard on the ground are
10 the effect that there is now little hope
Oh the capture of the mon who held up the
Great Northern. The correspondent has
returned from The section of the country
where the posses were expected to OVER
take the robbers. His account is that the
pursuers have been outwittei, and that
the robbers have eluded them.
There arc now two theories presented.
One is that the outlaws, who are far better
mounte& than their pnrsuerS. have already
crossed the Missouri River and are we'll
Oh their way toward the "hole ia the wali'
country in Wyoming, the most notorious
refuge OF criminals in The United States.
h Hole i'll the Wall is a fastness prac-
tically mpregnabls, and capable OF being
successfully defended by Il few men all
most against any force. The region be-
tween the point in the Missouri breaks
and the Hole in The Wall is very sparsely
settled, Il few scattered cattle ranches be-
.ng the only evidence o humun habitation.
Pursuit over this wild section, according
to cd plainimen, is virtually hopeless.
The only 1heor' is that the robbers have
gained the intricacies of The Bad Lands
along the Missouri River rear the Little
Rockies, and are there awaiting the time
when the chase shall become cold and
Then seize Il faN orable opportunity TO ford
the river mt a place where crossing could
not be effected by men Unfamiliar with
die river and its treacherors windings.
Every foot of 'the ground IS an open book
TO the robbers. who have used the vicinity
as their stamping ground for years. The
officers are still in the field, but it is the
opinion of these who are OH the ground
that the scene of pursuit must now be
transferred tic Yellowstone, Custer OF
Dawson Counties.

THE SHEEP
Remarkable Growth of This Branch
of Live Stock Raising.

of Live Stock Raising.
A special from Miller says: The sheep
industry of this section is increasing each
year as the great hay racks piled high with
immense sacks filled with wool plainly in
dictate as they roll into town every day
now from all directions. a seemingly
poor man will start in with a hundred OF
two of sheep and in a few years he will
come to town in a fine rig with nicely
dressed wife and babies. AS a matter OF
fact, for quick money, easy, sheep are
ahead of amy other stock in this section.
The herding is the great drawback to the
sheep business. They must be attended
to right or they will be lost to the wolves.
And in the spring the lambs will die OF
like flies unless attended to With the
greatest care: Occasionally q man will DO
this and he gels rich in a hurry. And tile
complaint of the cattle and horse men that
their animals are being pestered and stam-
peded by the millions of mosquitoes does
not apply 10 the sheep, whose wool pro-
tects them from the flying insects.
