HUNT FOR THUGS
COVERS BIG AREA
Police Confident Sullivan and
Garcia Must Soon Be
Captured.
EVIDENCE BEING SECURED
YELLOW MAN CAN BE IDENTI.
FLED BY TATTOO MARKS.

While the police have not vel been
able TO find any trace of Joes Sullivan
ana Joe Garcia, the two thugs wanted
Tor the murder of Policeman Ford. they
nave accomplished a great deal of i'm
portant work insestablishing the con-
nection OF the fu&tives with Staying of
the policeman and other crimes. The
value Of this work viii be shown when
the men are captured.
The police do not believe that the
week will pass without the arrest of
the two criminals. If they are still in
salt Lake, their capture, it is believed,
is certain when they make their first
move from cover. If they are roaming
through the country. the chances of
their succeeding i'm getting away are
considered equally remote.
When they fled from the Albany sa-
loon and killed Policeman Ford on Sat
urday morning. il is believed that they
had little more than S45 they stole from
the cash register i'm the bar room. When
this money is spent, it is expected that
they will again resort TO crime to fill
their purses. and this viii betray the
course they have taken and eventually
bring about their capture.
Sullivan. who spent five years i'm the
Uta hpenitentiary. and during that time
was almost always in solitary contiue-
ment. is known to be brutal and daring,
and will not Ions harken to the coun-
sells of his crafty companion. 1t is be-
lieved that he will soon yield TO the
promptings of his violent nature and
plunge into some sort of trouble which
will bring about his undOing
Color May Betray Him.
ON the other hand. while Garcia is
cunning and knows how to avoid at
tracing attention by moving about at
night. il is believed that his color viii
eventually betray him. He is half Chi
nese, half Mexican, and looks like
mulatto or Indian. Now that il is
known all over the country that such
man was concerned in the killing of Pc
liceman Ford a watch for prowling
strangers of that description will be
kept, and Garcia, the police believe, will
surely fall into the hands of the law
i'm the end.
Garcia has one effeminate trait which
viii probably cling 10 him even i'll his
fight. That is the vanity of curling
his hair and wearing these curls plas-
tered upon his forehead. If he is TAX
en-, the tattoo marks upon his body Will
establish his identity, no matter how
remote the place of his capture may be. |
The evidences of the eager search for
Sullivan and his dusky mate are shown
in thee reports still being received at
police headquarters.
Everywhere. for hundreds of miles !
around Salt Lake, vigilant watch is be- |
ing kept for the fugitives. II was re-
ported yesterday that two men answer |
ing the descriptions of Sullivan and |
4 "a y-afa had haaT1 seen a CaIianfp Chief |
Pitt inquired into the rumOr. but was
able to learn nothing definite.
Similar reports came from other /
plaees--In many railroad and mining |
Towns throughout the inteTmOuntain re- 1
gion the appearance of rough appearing 1
has caused rippIes of excite /
ment. In most cases, the alarm was
baseless, but with the wide !
spread watchfulness evidenced by these /
reports there is every prospect of speed /
lily hearing of the apprehension of the /
right Ren. When they are caught, the /
police will be in a position to act, as 4
the evidence against the two men has
been carefully gathered.
