CAPTURED MAN SAID TO HAVE

ACCUSED OF MANY CRIMES

With the arrest in east Tennessee a
few days ago Of Harvey Curry, one
more OF the murderous bandits CT the
Robbers ROOst country, who is be-
lie scd to have beer one of the gang
that killed Sheriff Jack Tyler nearly a
year ago, has fallen into the hands of
justice. 1t is believed that he will
be put where no more CORY depreda-
tiCns can be added to his already ex-
tensive list. Curry was one of the no
tOriOus Curry brothers. whose exploits
the citizens Of Utah and surrounding
states have cause to remember, and he
is considered by the officers of this
state as one Of the most blOodthirsty
and desperate bandits that ever took
refuge in the Robbers Roost and Hole
in-the-Wall country.
Worse Than Butch Cassidy.
According 70 information furnished
by an old outlaw hunter Harvey Cur
~ and. his brother George made their
appearance in this state some six or
seven years ago and took up their
abode in the Robbers ROOst region.
They became members of Butch Cas-
sidy's gang. but were more desperate
ard hlOodthirsty, it is declared. than
Butch or any other men that he had
associated with him. Both of the Cur
UbyS were Expert flllGLllen luu morse
men. At first they confined their dep
relations principally to cattle rust
ling and ii is said that they were
experts at the business. From cat
tie rustling' they went to holding up
trains and Harvey is now wanted in
one state Tor train robbery and in three
states for murder. The officers declare
that re has needlessly murdered more
men just for the sake of killing them
than any other bandit that has in
tested This country. 1t is said he has
borne the reputation of being a man
who got pleasure out of killing a man
just in seeing fresh blood flow.
Accused Of Killing Tyler.
The most dastardly affair that is laid
to Curry in this state is the death of
Sheriff Tyler. who was. killed near
ThompsOn's Springs about a wear ago.
A gang of Robbers BOOSTERS, one OF
whom is believed to have been Harvey
Curry, had been rustling cattle in the
vicinity OF ThOmpsOn's Springs and a
posse under Sheriff Tyler started in
pursuit of them. Out in the hills the
sheriff's posse overlook the outlaws
and in the fight which ensued Sheriff
Tyler was killed. A short time before
that Sheriff Tyler had killed George
Curry in a fight, and it is believed that
Harvey Curry was responsible for the
death Of the sheriff.
Wanted For Other Murders.
Curry is wanted also for the murder
of Sheriff Eazen in Wyoming and for
murder in Montana. Some of the Of
ficers stated yesterday afternoon that
If the Montana authorities did net send
Curry to the gallOws a complaint OF
murder might be filed against him in
this state.
The officers express themselves as be-
lieving that Curry will never reach
Montana. il he is taken through Wyo-
ming They say the feeling against
him there over the killing of Sheriff
Hazen is so strong that they believe he
would be lynched before he could be
taken through the state, especially If
he were taken through there now,
when the people are aroused to the ut
most degree by the recent killing OF
Sheriff Kicker.
