Thermopolis, Wyo.-Three Wyoming
sheriffs, Felix Aston of Big Horn
county, Charles Slough of Fremont
county, and Frank Smith of johnson
county, have disappeared into the
rough country between this place and
the Jackson Hole, while on the trail
of a gang of horse thieves, and no
news is expected from them until
they either run down their quarry or
leave the trail at the Idaho line.
Horse stealing has been frequently
reported by ranchmen of johnson, Big
Horn and Fremont counties, and the
depredations generally have been
traced to one gang, of which 1t Is al
legged Walter Yos is The leader.
All efforts to arrest members of
this gang have failed because OF the
thieves thorough knowledge of the
country and their trick of jumping
from one county to another. and coca
sionally into Idaho or Montana.
Several days ago the officers picked
up the trail of the thieves east Of this
place, followed 1t to Thermopolis and
thence westward into the rough coun-
try beyond which lies Jackson Hole. (
The country in which Aston,
Slough and Smith are now seeking the
Yos gang is that made famous by the
story of the Virginian's pursuit of
Trampas. Shorty. et al. The Virgin
ian and his tenderfoot friend rode
through the same section that the
sheriffs are now traversing, and came
out at the same objective point-the
Jackson Hole. Whether or not the
three genuine thief hunters will have
the luck OF the fictional ones and run
down their quarry in the beautiful
Jackson Hole is a matter of conjec-
ture.
