SLIPPERY SAM" is DEAD.
bud" Tyler, the Horse Thief,
Identified az the Notorious Sam
Larson,

Larson.
II has been ascertained beyond 4
doubt that the evasive Slippery
Sam" Larson and bud" Tyler, shot
near Edgewater by Deputy Martin Of
Gilt Edge q short time ago, are one
and the same man.
The Identification was made by I'm.
der Sheriff Crawford of Choteau coun-
ty and John Gill of Landusky, to
whom Larson was well known, and
who came to this section of the coun-
try last week for the purpose of set.
ting all doubt at rest on the subject
by exhuming and viewing the re.
mains Of the dead desperate. They
went to Gilt Edge last Thursday for
that purpose and on their return to
Lewistown in the evening Sheriff
Crawford was see by the ARGUS
reporter, to whom he said: "Wher
the grave was opened the body was
found to be in an excellent state Of
preservation and identification was
easy. The features were much more
natural than at the time the pictures
were taken a short time after he was
killed and there Is not the slightest
doubt but that the body of the des-
perado inferred at Gilt Edge is all
that is left Of slippery Sam" Lar.
son."
During the course of a short con-
~versation, the sheriff remarked that
one circumstance which made him
rather doubtful as to the identity OF
the dead horse thief was the state
ment made at the inquest that when
killed Tyler was wearing shoes and
s~uspenders. while 1t was a marked
habit Of Larson's to always veal high
heel cowboy boots and he was never
known to 8 suspenders. One facial
trait which made identification easy
was the fact that Larson's ears were
peculiar in that they were much
shorter and rounder than those Of
most men and stood out from his head
in q very prominent manner.
Sheriff Crawford said that while IL
was true that the dead desperate had
escaped at one time from Stock In.
spector Lund, there was no truth in
the story told-by Tyler or Larson that
he had shot a halfbreed at Shelby or
any Other. place in Choteau county.
1t was thought here for awhile that
Tyler and Larson could not be one
and tn
and the same man, owing to the fact
that it vas thought that Sam Larson
was in trouble up north at the time
Tyler was first known to be in this
section of the country. 1t has been
explained that 1t was Henry Larson
who got into difficulty after his
brother, Sam, had escaped into Fer
gus county and secured work in the
Edgewater district. However, the
matter of identification is settled and
ii has been ~conclusively proven that
no o will Slippery Sam Larson
chase stolen bronshos or maverick
any more calves on this side of the
Happy Hunting Grounds.
