$3.50 was offered for the capture of
Hansen, and TerHaar himself offered
the amount. Then he got busy and
started to trace the doctor.
Found on the Governors Ranch.
He followed him through Missouri
Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming,
where he found the fugitive on the
ranch of the governor of that state.
The sheriff got onto the trail by learn
ing that Hansen was trying to get en-
ployment with railroads. When cor
nered by the sheriff he put up a
fight and deputy had to use the
butt end of his revolver on the chauf
feur. This time he did not leave
his man to get milk toasts for him
but stuck to him like leach, land
ing him safely in the jackson county

Story of the Capture.
The story OF the capture is told by
the Heron Lake Times as follows:
"The arrest was made by Sheriff
Ter Haar and the deputy sheriff OF
Wyoming on the ranch of Governor
Brooks near Casper, small station
on the Union Pacific road west of Chey-
enne. where the doctor was employed in
the capacity of chauffeur; that he did
not propose to be taken was proven
by the fact that when Sheriff Ter
Haar and the Wyoming deputy went
to the Brooks ranch to make the ar
rest he put up fight, but was soon
put hors de combat by the deputy
knocking him down with blow on
the head with his gun and putting
the handouts on him.
Sheriff Ter Haar left Jackson about
two weeks ago leaving the impress
sion that he was going to Colfax.
He went to Kansas City and from
there to Bonner Springs, Kansas,
where he struck the trail, then to
Topeka and lola, Kansas.
From lola he followed him to Chey-
enne where he found that his man
was passing as Kentucky stock
raiser and was known as Mr.. Castle
main.
Worked as Night Operator.
From Cheyenne he tracked him to
Dacorri. Texas and to Pastoral, New
Mexico, where he found he had worked
about a week as night operator by
which means he secured a railroad
pass on which he rode to Dawson, N.
M. At Dawson sheriff Ter Haar learn
ed that he was doubling on his trail
and as the scent was getting pretty
warm of course there was nothing left
for Henry but to follow it, which he
did, with the result that at Cas-
per, as chronicled above, he got his
man and started nome with him,
mailing the last part of the trip
overland by team from Worthington,
arriving home about seven O'Clock
Thursday evening with his prisoner
in a total state of collapse, the result
of the excessive use of dope of which
Sheriff Ter Haar informs us ne is a
confirmed fend.

The famous Otto trail has been
completed. Yesterday number of
the prominent business men of this
city rode over to Monument Canon
and were the first to be shown over
the trail since its completion.
The grandeur of the scenes which
met their eyes have made all who
took the trip sincere champions OF
the self-sacrificing hermit. who. they
say, has performed the work of five
men since he began the building of
the winding, twisting and rugged trail
a few months ago.
AS the end of the trail drew near
the scenery became more Interesting
the trail more crooked and rougheI
TO climb, and the views which were
obtainable more thrilling and awe
inspiring. The last portion of a mile
of the narrow path wound around 50

course so often and so greatly re-
