END OF LONG HUNT FOR ED
FARMER.
LED SHERIFF MERRY CHASE
After Four Years Search Missing
Man Is Arrested in Wyoming
His Offense.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
For about four years Sheriff Hub
bard has been trying to ascertain the
whereabouts of Ed Farmer, whom he
wanted" badly on a serious charge,
but Edward proved too elusive and it
was finally thought that his capture
would be never effected. Consequently
Mr.. Hubbard was much surprised and
not a little pleased this morning at
the receipt of a telegram informing
him that Farmer was under arrest
and awaiting his action.
The dispatch was from r. M. Ken
nedy, sheriff at Buffalo, Wyo. 1t stat
ed that Farmer was being held there
and had consented to come back WITH
out a requisition. Mr.. Hubbard at once
wired a reply that he would leave for
Buffalo tomorrow morning and ex-
poets to return in a few days with
his man.
The alleged offense with which
Farmer is charged was committed in
1899 and occurred at Laurel. He and
a man named Dan Prather had a dis
pute concerning some money Farmer
claimed Prather owed him. Prather
denied the debt and in the quarrel
that ensued it is said Farmer beat
the other man with a revolver and
ended by covering him with the
weapon and taking $40 from him, the
amount of the debt Farmer claimed
was due him. Prather made COM
plant against him and a warrant for
his arrest was issued. Before service
could be secured Farmer left and al
though vigorous search for him was
made he managed to elude the Of
ficers until apprehended at Buffalo.

is fenced, making it impossible to find

vicinity, much as some OF the HOOK
masters had hoped to the contrary.
His company is preparing to install
one within a few miles of Miles City
which will be operated as a custom
plant. Realizing the benefit it will
, prove to their town, some OF the
| Milesians have proposed to become

to insure it's location there.
