BANDITS LOCATED.
Men Who Killed Banker Middaush

Death When TAKEN.

Death When Taken.
Cody, Wyo.. Nov. 5.-The different
bands OF men hunting the men who
killed the cashier of the First National
bank have the robbers practically sur
rounded in the foothills of the Owl
Greek mountains. fifty miles from here.
and their death or capture is certain
within a short time. 1t is reported that
q large force of their friends are coming
TO their assistance from the "Hole-in-
the-Wall' country, and a number or
men have left here to reinforce the
pursuers.
Buffalo Bill. with Indian scouts
cowboys, has taken the trail, and "a
lively time may be anticipated. CODY
and his force are heavily armed anu
are determined t get the robbers.
The bandits have cut all the teie-
phone wires leading through the Dasn,
and it is almost impossible to get fnr-
ther facts.
A telephone message from Basin, the
county seat, says that Sheriff Fenton
and posse are in the Bad Lands, over
near Thermopolis, a long distance from
telephone. Sheriff Fenton sent a mar
back to the nearest telephone station 10
report to Basin that he and his party
had the outlaws located and expected
to get them today. The bandits are
now among friends, IND 1t Is believed
that the sheriff's party will nave sone

Pierre. s. d.. Nov. 2.-One Of the
pecuiiaritics noted in the figures on
teachers statistics, complied by the
state educational department, is the
fact while twenty fewer teachers were
employed in the state for 1903 than for
the preceding year the amount paid out
as teachers wages was more than
500, 900 greater. These figures indicate
that the policy OF school centraliza-
ton IS beginning TO do its work In his
state. and that teachers wages are
advancing. Many counties are an
