Finding that he was in danger of be-
ing pursued Larron determined to
take his stolen stock back. across the
border into Canada. AS he was driv-
ing the horses across the line he was
hailed by Revenue Collector Inspector
Mcintosh who demanded to know
where he was going. Without reply
ing Larron struck the officer with the
butt end Of his revolver knocking him
senseless.
After this escapade the desperate
again disappeared mysteriously and
was not heard from for nearly six
months. About the end of this period
he is alleged to have committed his
heinous crime. One evening a man
who is supposed to have been Larron
rode up to the house of farmer
named Miller who resides near Cart

and pointing gun at him demanded
that he turn over his money. Miller
replied that he had non with him.

then" was the reply and covering Mil
Ter with his gun he marched him to
the back door. AS he entered the
kitchen he observed relative of Mil
ler'S, a young man who was some
what simple minded sitting at the
table
Hands up" commanded the des-
perado The young man obeyed but
at the same time rose and began to
edge towards the back door leading
up stairs. Without any show of COM
Function the robber shot him dead.
1t was short time after this that
the Canadian authorities who had
been constantly on the lookout came
upon Larron's trail. He and pal,
named Jim Clark, had started south
heading for the states and Chief
Rookie of the Provincial Mounted
Police went in pursuit. The pair pro-
ceeded to Pierce county and here
Deputy Sheriff Erickson again unwit-

by Sheriff MiZer he went to house
near Brossard to search for some
stolen hides. Larron, Clark and
man named McDonough, were in the
house at the time. They were warned
of the approach OF the officers and
went upstairs where they remained

outlaws was fully demonstrated. They

| These stations were at various farm
houses whose inmates were friendly to

After this chase had lasted for q
