LONG CHASE AFTER BAD MAN
Bold Horse Thief and Hghwayman
vii! Not Trouble Idaho
Any More.

Gooding, Idaho.-The horse thief
and stickup man that has been max
ing free with the peace of three coun-
ties was apprehended at Galena,
ranger station about tbirty-five miles
north OF Ketchum.
The follow, who was given a differ
ent name every time he was asked,
stole a horse and saddle from barn
at Bliss, rode from there to CamaS
prairie and held up saloon. He then
returned to Bliss via the shear1ng
corrals in the mountains, where he
raised cain generally.
Constable .Pinkham of Bliss, motto
ing that he answered the description
OF the man wanted, arrested him and
took him to the hotel and phoned for
Sheriff Bliss at Gooding. While phon-
ing, the prisoner walked out and when
pursued took a shot at Pinkham with
his rifle, of which the constable mad
neglected to relieve him.
Pinkham abandoned the chase and
nothing was done till Sheriff Bliss took
UP the trail. He tracked the man by
means of an oddly shaped horseshoe
and followed him nearly to Gooding,
then north over the Sawtooth Noun
tains and up Willow Creek. The for
est rangers were notified to watch for
the man and horse and when he show
ed up at Galena he was invited to stay
all night.
It was his intention to do so until
second ranger appeared on the scene,
but when he attempted to leave the in
vitation was repeated at the point of
revolver. The sheriff arrived half
an hour later
