Bf RAILROAD SURVEY OVER MOUATAIN !d
SHERIFF AFTER THIEF +!

Nh fNapeS.

Last week the sheriii's Office was
given papers to serve on one George
Richardson, on the charge of horse
stealing. The information was
sworn to by 8. e. Bowler, OF Carmen
creek. 1t seems that Mr.. Bowler
loaned the horse to Richardson,
ostensibly to go to the Hot Springs,
but after a week no horse nor no
Richardson appearing, the owner OF
the horse began to become uneasy.
The sherifY's Office was notified and
Sherif Mulkey began to call up the
different points over the phone A
reply came from Forney that such a
man and holse passed through there
some days before on the way to
Thunder Mountain. Deputy Sheriff
Ball started out with the intention
of following the man until he caught
up with him.
While The deputy sheriff was be-
tween here and Forney the man re.
turned to Forney stating that he
could not get through the Middle
Fork country on account OF the deeE
snow. At Forney stated that he was
on the way to Salmon, but In some
manner he got wind Of the fact that
the sheriff was after him, and must
have concluded he was up before q
dangerous proposition.
When Deputy Ball arrived at For
ney he found the man had left there
but had not passed Leacock's sta
tion. 1t was found out, however
that the man had turned on tn,
Challis road, and was tracked to 4
cabin where the fugitive had camped
Following the tracks still farther
the deputy sheriff found the hors'
turned loose and the saddle cached
Richardson had again come to suel
heavy snow that it was impossible u
get the horse through so had aban
doned him and started on foot.
The sheriff is Of the opinion tia
Richardson was intending to return
to Salmon when he found that N
could not get through to TbuDde
Mountain, but when he fonnd tina
there was a warrant out for his ar
rest he determined that Hight wa
the best course for him to pursue
1t was no more than breach o
trust had Richardson been capturet
and 1t is, doubtful II the charge o
stealing could have been made t
stick. Since Mr.. Bowler has secured
bas property 1t is probable that b
will not insist that Richardson b.
followed up.
