OUTLAWS TAKE REFUGE At THE
HOUSE OF A sYMPA-
THIZER.
BLOODY BATTLE NOT FAR OFF
POSSES WILL CLOSE IN ON OUT.
LAWS, WHO DO NOT KNOW
THEY ARE NEAR.

Deer Ranch, Wyo., Nov. 6.-Sheriff
Strough of Fremont county and Sheriff
Fenton and posse of Big Horn arrived
here shortly after shutdown yesterday,
having found the trail of the Cody
bank robbers again and followed it
into the very heart of the bad lands.
They are not more than ten miles be-
hind the outlaws. Reliable informa-
ton has been received here that the
bandits have taken refuge at the
ranch house of sympathizer near the
notorious Hole in the Wsll rendezvous
southwest Of this place, and do not
know that the officers have followed
them this far. Sheriff Fenton, who is
directing the movement against the
desperadoes, has
Asked for ReinforcementsN
from Casper, 100 miles southeast of
here, and a telephone message was
received late last night stating that
Sheriff Webb and large posse had
Started for the scene. Fenton and his
men will do little scouting quietly
to-day to see that the outlaws do not
leave their hiding place before Webb
and his party arrives. Should the out.
laws become alarmed and attempt to
leave the country Sheriff Webb will be
advised at Wolton, Lost Cabin or one
of the smaller stations on the tele-
phone line and an effort will be made
to intercept the bandits at the eastern
exit of the Hole in the Wall. Should
the robbers attempt to double back on
their trail and escape by the only
other exit from the Hole in the Wall,
the route they followed in entering
the rendezvous, they will be attacked
by Fenton and his party near this
place.
Bloody Battle 10 Certain.
A bloody battle is certain to occur
during the next thirty-six hours either
at the western or eastern exit of the
Hole, or in the vicinity of the recent
hiding place of the outlaws. Should
the bandits remain in ignorance of the
plan to bottle them up in the rendez-
vous, then the fight will occur at the
ranch home of their friend, for the
two posses from the east and west
will combine forces as soon as Webb
arrives and close in on the bandits at
once.
The officers here are completely
worn out, but they are anxious for the
fight. They get almost twenty-four
hours rest, however, If present plans
carry, and will be in prime condition
for the battle when Webb arrives,
