ROBBERS DIVIDE THE LOOT and SKIP
LEAVING money SACK AND REVOLVER

Recent developments which are in
any way connected with the Citizens
National bank robbery of last week
add but little and give meager clues as
to the identity of the two men who
pulled of the deal.
1t is true, parties have been securing
the hills in all directions, but in every
case they have returned to the city
with little or no additional information
regarding the escape. On Sunday a
party, among whom We're Charley Hub
bard Ell Dow and John Ba.Jasch. visited
the spots where the shots were fred at
the robbers by the WeiIenhammer
posse within an hour after the robbery
and where the horse was killed. They
followed the trail of the two men over
the "high cliff,'' which was not more
than few feet high, and down into Il
canon, which, while not deep, was in
a secluded spot and which placed the
chasing party at a great disadvantage.
1t was in this secluded spot that this
Sunday party found the sack which had
been used to carry the money from the
bank. In addition. they found leath.
cr strap which evidently belonged on
some suit ease, safety pin, wire cut
ter and small revolver, the latter not
much good. These articles were turned
over to the Pinkerton men. who on
Tuesday afternoon went over the trail
in company with Mayor +. f. Drach,
w. Il. Wallace, John Bajash and the
Post reporter.
Upon reaching the scene of the
horse killing, Mayor Drach and Mr..
Erb' went up the side of the hill from
which the posse fred and secured eight
shells, which would indicate that eight
shots had been fired by the posse.
Measurements were made in rough
way and all agreed that they could not
see how the posse failed to hit the men
at that distance which was estimated
at less than 100 yards Mayor Drach
was positive that he could have madr

the robbers. The trail was then fol-

Immediately made good the shortage,
but this did not relieve Button of re
sponsibility in the matter and on Wed

fore United States Commissioner Wm.
Cardnell of this city, who placed his
bond a. $4,000 for his appearance at
the next term of the United States
court at Montrose, which will open
Sept. 2, 1910.
Button entered plea of not guilty
to the charge of embezzlement and
waved examination, thus the exact line
Of his defense was not disclosed, but it
is reported that he claimed that if
there was any shortage in his accounts
someone must have stolen the money
from the Office during his absence and
that he had no idea such conditions eN-
listed.
o. D. Button is well known over the
county and his arrest occasioned muc II
surprise among the people who know
him best.
That o. D. Button IL trusted by tn.
people who know him and that they
are willing to stand by him in his
present trouble, is shown by the bond
which he gave to insure his appearance
when the government calls for him.
The bond, which is for $4,000, bears
the names of eighteen of the best cici
zens of the county, all of whom are
firm in their belief that Mr.. Button
will be able to explain the mysteries
and again face the world with the clean
record he has always had.
