HORSE THIEVES CAPTURED

Sheriff Harris and Alex Weiland
came in about 6 o'clock last even.
ing with Rex Roberts and James
Ross. the two horsthieves they
captured yesterday afternoon.
From Sheriff Farris we learned the
following particulars of the chase
and capture:
Sunday night a telephone message
was received at the sheritf's office
from the Wal her Bros, saying
that they we're ON the trail of the
thieves and asking for assistance.
Sheriff Harris returned from Reno
Monday morning and started on
the trail as soon as possible. He
went direct to North Fork, where
he struck the trail of the thieves.
He followed it from there to
Indian Greek. about 10 miles south
of Tracy Fairchild's ranch, where
two of the men were captured, the
third making his escape on h orse
back.
When the sheriff came within
hailing distance of the men. he cal
led to them TO come in" as their
game was up. Instead of doing so
they laid fiat on their horses and
mOtiOned the sheriff to come on and
n of them fired a shot.
Realizing that a fight was on,
Sheriff Harris jumped from his
horse and fired a shot from his
Winchester rife. AS he cid So, the
horse one of the thieves was riding,
stepped into a badger hole and
fell.
The horse got up and started oil
without his rid r. The other man
then tried to get iim on the horse
he was riding, but a bullet from
the sheriff's Winchester whizzed
by his head and he threw up his
hands. The third mar was ahead
of the two that were captured.
AS soon as this was learned, three
men started in pursui of him. He
was pressed so hard by his pursuers
that he abandoned his horse and
took to the mountains.
Alex Weiland the WaIther Bros.
end several other men assisted the
Sheriff in trailing and capturing
the thieves. Several horses and the
camping outfit of the thieves were
gathered in. The horses were
stolen from the Diamond A ranch
in this county
The captured men carried wicked
looking revolverS and were well
supplied with ammunition. At the
Jail they gave their m as Rex
Roberts and James Ross. Both are
young men.
