pointed to draft resolutions upon the

ed, the resolutions being adopted and
Judge Carpenter issuing an order set
ting aside a page Of the record Of the
court for a transcription Of the instru-

Action Of the Body.
Whereas, The members of the Al
bany county bar have learned with
sincere and profound regret of the
death, at the hands of an assassin, Of
Alfred H. Bath, sheriff Of Albany coun-
ty, while in the faithful discharge Of
his duties as . public oficer; and,
Whereas, We have, at all times,
found Mr.. Bath to be honest, generous
and courageous in all his dealings and
have come to respect and esteem him
as an officer and as a friend. Be 1t
Resolved, by the members Of the
Albany county bar. That in the death
of Sheriff Bath our state loses a valu-
able citizen, u county loses a fear
less and conscientious official, and the
members of the bar lose a loyal and
trusty friend.
Resolved, further, That the mem.
bers of the Albany county bar tender

buttons be spread at large upon the

May Be Escaped Convict.

The following telegram from Chey-
enne to the Denver Republican con
firms a statement in The Republican
yesterday afternoon that Summers is
wanted in Colorado:
Considerable excitement was Gre
ated this morning when 1t was an
nounced that John Summers, the muir
derer of Sheriff AL Bath of Laramie,
had been captured at Buford, twenty
five miles west of Cheyenne. The sus-
pect closely resembles the murderer,
but is not the right man. The author
tiles say that the murderer answers
the description of Mel Long, who es-
capped from the Colorado penitentiary
at Canon City after committing muir
der in 1905. Long disappeared COM
pletely. and Baths murderer may be
the same man. If Summers is cap
tured an effort will be made to bring
him to Cheyenne, as feeling In Lar
annie is strong against the murderer,
and it is almost certain he will be
lynched If taken to the home of Sheriff
Bath Immediately. 1t does not seem
possible that Summers can escape, for
the country is filed with officers, and
all ranchmen are on the lookout"
