on the ground are the effect that there is now
little hope of the Sheriff's posse overtakins the
men who he'd up the Great Northern express
train at Wagner Mont, last Wednesday. The cor
respondent has just returned from the part of
country where the posses expected to oVertake

been outwitted, and that the robbers have euded
them.
There two theories presented. One is that the
outlaws, who far better mounted than their
pursuers. have already crossed the Missouri River
and we'll on their way toward the "Hole-n- the
Wall" country in Wyoming, the most notorious
refuge of criminals in the United States The
'Hole-n-the-Wall" is a fastness practically i'm

region between the point IN the Missouri breaks and
the "Hole-in- -the-Wau' is sparsely settled. few
scattered cattle ranches being the only evidence Of
human habitation. Pursuit over this wild section
according 10 old painsmen. is virtually hopeless.
The other theory is that the robbers have gained
the intrcacies of the bad lands along the Mis-
souri, River near the Little Rockies, and there
awaiting the time when the chase shall have
grown cold. and then seize favorable opportunity
TO ford the river at place where crossing could
be effected by men unfamiliar with the river

DESCRIPTION OF THE SYMPTOMS.

From The Denver Post.
This graphic definition of love is sent to US in
asbestos covering by Miss Cutey Smart, OF
Methodist Mountain:
When two young souls seem amalgamated
In and the two hearts beat in tune,
When all of the being seems inflated
Till swollen out like gas balloon,
When into the soul comes a storm of yearnins
A great cyclone of impassioned feel
When the coursng blood IN its veins seems burn
ing
In liquid blazes from head heel.
When the heart from the stomach has snatched
the sceptre,
And a maiden is shorn OF her appetite,
When some thrills of delight have kept her
From the howery glades Of slumber at night
II that isn't love In the first degree.
Then what in the deuce is the matter with me?

MANY HEAT VICTIMS BURIED.
MORGUE KEEPERS SEND a BIG CONsIGN
MENT TO POTTER'S FIELD.

At last the morgue has been cleared of the victims
of the recent heat and the number of silent occu-
pants is reduced normal state. Never before in
the history of the city has the morgue been so
overcrowded. The building has capacity for sixty
bodies and more than this number can be prop
ery cared for by the refrigerating system in use.
Through the week $50 bodies were sent to the
morgue 10s OF which adult heat victims. In
the room reserved for babies there were placed
sixty-four little bodies. of which, 1t Is estimated,
fifty died from the heat.
The law requires that the unclaimed dead sha /
be kept for five days. Ia the efforts that We're
made TO comply with the law bodies were piled
everywhere about the building even the autopsy
room being filed and some Of the desks ordinarily
used by the office force being used resting places
Four additional assistants were engaged. and Dep
uty Superintendent Rickard worked night and day.
Yesterday eghty-hve bodies were sent 10 Potter's
Field and the work OF disinfectins the building
thoroughly begun at once. No religious ser
vices held the bodies.
There appeared to he good ground for time for
the statement OF physician that If the heat con-
tnued much longer this city would be appalled, at
the number of deaths that would result directly
and indirectly from IL.
