The following special from Chey-
enne was sent 10 today's Denver Re
publican:
Following the return to Centennial
of a check stolen from the body Of
Sheriff Bath Of Laramie, bearing a
forged Endorsement in the handwriting
Of G. A. Summers, the murderer Of
Bath. and cashed by an Omaha saloon
keeper three days after the murder,
It develops that Summers was in
Cheyenne within twelve hours of the
commission of the crime and called at
the office OF the Leader, a morning
payer. to secure a paper giving the
Cheyenne on his way east, there
Employe Was Suspicious.
'An employe of the paper suspected
that the man SO anxious to secure a
morning paper was Summers and hast
ened to notify the police. AT that time
Summers was supposed to still be in
the vicinity Of the crime, sixty miles
from Cheyenne. and the report that
he was in the city was given scant at
tention. Now that It is known that
Summers reached the railroad within
a few hours of the commission of his
crime, and that he passed through
Cheyenne on his way east. There
seems to be no doubt that the caller
at the Leader office was the muir

Belt Belonged to Ives.
The bet found bore the name Ray

been working on.one of the grades at
Centennial. He was sen out to the
grade by Kelly, the First street en-
ployment agent, who also sem Sum-
mers to that place and later to Wal
den. 1t is presumed that Summers
and Ives were friends, and it is
thought likely that they have met
since the killing OF Bath, and that
Ives gave Summers the belt to hold
his pantaloons up, the latter having
lost all the buttons. officers are try
ng to find Ives, but SO far have not
succeeded. Mr.. Blake, with whom
Summers went to Walden in his
freight wagon, says the latter did not
wear a belt at the time. The men
slept together two nights during the
trip and the freighter believes he
could not have been mistaken.

The man on the Crumrine ranch,
who boosted here that he knew Sum
mers, and who is said to have de-
clared that Summers was receiving
his protection for the killing of Bath,
was found. and the posse believes he
was simply boasting and had never
seen Summers. He claimed to have
known the fugitive in Canon City as
a brcncho buster.

County Attorney Downey and his
posse, who returned late yesterday
afternoon from Plains and around
interest at this time in connection
with what is believed to have been a
visit at the bunk house at that sta
ton of Summers, wanted here for
the killing of Sheriff Bath a fortnight
ago tomorrow. They are more than
Summers who broke into the deserted
house some time Saturday night.
Found in a Bunk.
Yesterday The Republican told of
the finding of the saddle blanket
loaned to Bath at the time he mount
Summers and of a leather belt. Later
TIE posse found a pair of pantaloons
and a pair of mems drawers discarded
IN the bunk house and believed to be
those of Summers. Patterson, who
occupied the house with w. w. Doyle,
lost a pair of pants. a pair of new
drawers and a black cotton shirt.
The discarded pants and drawers We're
found on the further side of the bunk,
having been thrown over as far as
possible. The pantaloons were minus
buttons on any portion of the garment
and showed that they had been worm
under somewhat strenuous circum-
stances.
Garments Badly Worn.
The leather belt had been used to
hold the band of the pants around the
mans waste, the straps behind being
worn by the leather belt. The bot
toms were frayed and torn. The
drawers had been worn for some time
without washing. 1t is believed that
Summers discarded the garments
when he added Patterson's clothes
to his wardrobe, the Patterson panta-
looms having all the buttons necessary
rand a pair of %suspenders besides.
Had Good Appetite.
The burglar had prepared himself a
rather good meal. He fried eggs and
had a pan of biscuits baked a day or
two before. which he ate. When he
left he took away with him about six
pounds of bacon, half the pan of bis
cults, matches, salt and pepper, and
could thus subsist for time.

Viola Smith, Deserted Seven Years
Ago by Husband, Who Was Killed
BY Falling from Train, Placed in
Possession of Railroad Inc insur-
anee Moneys.

I. Mrs Viola NJ Smith, the wife Of
Bert Smith, formerly a resident OF
Holmes, where he worked in the Ram
bier mine, is in the city on her way to
| Walden with her father, E.. T. Rogers,
Of that city, and will make her home
| with him for the present. They have
just returned from Kemmerer n
Rock Springs, where they mad been
to take possession of the estate left
by Smith at the time of his death
Smith fell from the rear OF a passen-
ger coach at Green River and vas kill
ed. 1t was then discovered that he
had deserted his wife and three chill
dren and was living with another wo-
man at New Fork, on a ranch he later
sold TO w. w. Bower of this city.
Pretender Gets Cash.
Mrs. Smith found that the other wo-
man had taken possession of what
property Smith had at the time of his
death. This included $127.90 in mo-
ney, $400 in bank and other property.
She was about to settle with the rail
road company for 81 $500, the Wood
men of the World were preparing to
pay her an equal amount on a policy
in the insurance branch of that order
held by Smith, and there was some
money derived from an accident POL
icy Smith had secured when starting
ON the journey, in all about 1000 or
more.
May Be Prosecuted.
AS soon as Mrs. Smith and her faith
er reached the scene they secured an
attorney and the latter was appointed
administrator of the estate.-It did not
take long to dispose of the claims of
the other woman and Mrs. Smith will
be placed in possession of the money
and other belongings. 1t is consider
ed possible that the alleged second
wife will be prosecuted for perjury in
connection with false %afIidavits both
to the railroad company, the life in
surance company and the bank hold
ing the $500. When Mr.. Rogers left
Rock Springs this matter had not been
fully decided upon.
Not Father of Children.
Smith deserted his wife some seven
years ago. They were on a ranch and
were not doing very well financially.
Mrs, Rogers. the mother of Mrs.
Smith, took her daughter and grand
children home, telling the husband and
father that she would keep them for
a year and give him a chance to turn
himself. Then it was that Smith left
