they were traced to the Stone ranch
southeast of Greencreek by Robert
Jones and Burley Clayton. Jones at
once returned to Denver to summon the
sheriff leaving Clayton to watch the
house. Sheriff George Seay and deputy
sheriff John Seay were both at this
place at the time and left early yester-
day morning for the Stone ranch accom-
panied by about dozen armed men
from here. An armed posse left Denver
at the same time so that fully thirty
armed men surrounded the house when
tile capture was made. Previous to
this, however, Clayton had approached
the house and told the inmates they
might as well go with him to Grange
vile as crowd was coming out to get
them and might string them up. This
caused Asa Newell, one of the robbers,
to saddle up his horse and escape. 1t
was thought fight would occur at the
ranch but when the house was sur
rounded the inmates surrendered with
cut struggle. They were found to be
Crawford Stone, Bert Rhoades and Bob
Wilks and were taken to Grangeville
and lodged in jail. Clayton was also
arrested, we are told, for causing New
ell to escape.
At the Stone ranch one horse was
found which showed traces of hard rid
ing and some clothing had evidently
been burned. After the capture the
prisoners were placed under an escort
and sent to Grangeville while the sher-
iff and several men started in pursuit OF
Newell. According to the latest report
they followed him past Lowe on the
Kamiah road until near the canyon
where he turned and started across
country toward Nezperce. The posse
has not been heard from since but is
close on his heels and he will hardly es-
cape. The three prisoners were taken
through Denver and it said that two
we're recognized by the wounded man.
Mr.. Kuther is German about 81
years of age and is one of the pioneers
Of this section having founded the town
of Keuterville. His wound, although
deep, is not considered dangerous and
he is resting easy at this writing.
The robbers secured between $25 and
$50. They are believed to be the ones
who robbed the Greencreek store cou'
pie months ago.

4 DARING HOLD-UP At DENVER
TWO MEN ROB THE KUTHER STORE
And SHOOT THE PROPRIETOR.
The Brave Merchant Returns Fire and Wounds HIS
ASSISTANTS. Robbers Secure Little Booty and Three
Are Later Captured by Sheriff. One Escaped.

a, most daring hold-up and shooting
ARRAY occurred at Denver about 9 O'Clock
Wednesday evening resulting in Henry
Kuther, the merchant, receiving severe
wound and he in turn wounding one or
more of the hold-ups. The robbery &C.
cured just as Mr.. Kuther was going to
close his store for the night. 1t seems
as he came up to lock the front door he
was met by two masked men who point
ed revolvers at his head and ordered him
to throw up his hands. He was then
taken back to the rear end of the store
and ordered to open the safe which he
did, one robber being at his side and the
other outside the counter covering him
with his gun. As the safe opened the
one robber stepped in front to secure
the money and showed Kuther back to
where his pistol lay. He picked up tine
gun and fred at the man at the safe at
the same time the robber outside the
counter shot at him. Kuther then took
a shot or two at this man who turned
and run out of the store leaving Kuther
to grapple with the one behind. During
this scuff1e Kuther fired a couple more
shots and tried to hit the holp-up over
the head but received a blow on the
head himself temporarily disabling him
so that the robber escaped. When the
first man left the store he mounted his
horse and started to catch the other
horse which had been frightened away
by the shooting. He caught the animal
about three-fourths of a mile from town
and waited until the other man came up
when they rode away. During the fight
at the store some seven or eight shots
were fired one Of which struck Mr..
Kuther on suspender buckle glancing
off and striking rib which further de-
flected it so it passed around the body
making deep, though not fatal, wound.
During the scuffie both robbers lost
their hats and the mask dropped from
the face of one. Tie shooting attracted
the attention of Mr.. md Mrs. Ellen
wood, living just across the street from
the store, who found Mr.. Kuther bleed
ing baby and after summoning assist
ance sent to Grangeyille for DR.. Stock
ton to dress the wound. One of the rob
bers was wounded and left blood stains
on the snow where he passed.
As soon as the robbery became known
several posses left Denver in pursuit of
the robbers and early the next morning
