escape and denied having appeared in
Winchester only on the one occasion on
Saturday night, and asserted that they
did not again break into this same
store, and further that they were not
guilty of the robbery of the Reubens
store or of the store at Myrtle the lat
ter part of last week. Doubtless, they
anticipated prosecution for these Of
lenses and were on their guard.
Evidence, in clothing and articles taken
with the men, however indicated that
they had committed the robberies at
other places for one ofe the men wore
belt taken from the Myrtle store and
in a bag was clothing taken from the
same store. Also trousers were in the
bag that evidently were taken from the
Winchester store.
Later Loosen Up.
Monday, after the men had been in
formed that there would probably be no
effort made to prosecute them for
offenses committed since their escape,
became more confiding and talked free
1y of their experiences. This interview
obtained by the Tribune reporter and
which appeared in Tuesdays Tribune is
in part as follows:
Davis Shot at Dunlap.
1t was Davis who fired the shot at
DR.. Dunlap, of lilo, on the afternoon of
June H. but he did not shoot to do
harm, only to determine whether Dun
lap was a member of voluntary posse
that had been keeping them on the run
during the entire day. When Mr.. Dun
lap started into the field, they thought
he was Constable Davis of White Bird,
whom Smead had held at bay at the
point of his rifle at Winchester the
night before. They knew it was not
Davis when the man turned and fled
but also knew they had disclosed their
own identity and they were on the move
for the next two nights and did not
sleep during the daytime while in hid
ing.
The Winchester Visit.
"When we left the Hewitt place
where we had stayed Friday night, we
went to Winchester said Davis. GIVE
were in a position where we had to
secure rood and after looking over the
town from the dark corners, we con-
cluded to go in and buy what we need
ed. Smead stood on guard at rear
door while / went into the big store,
having previously purchased bologna at
the meat market. | had purchased the
groceries and then recalled we were out
of tobacco. / was just getting the
tobacco when Smead called me to get
out-that the officers were after us.
When l went out the store / found he
had held up Davis, the White Bird
officer, and we made our getaway as
soon as possible.
'We heard automobiles all night and
on several occasions it was necessary
for us to step into the brush at the sile
of the road to escape the headlights of
the machine. We lay within 100 feet
of one corner while several cars passed
and one car stopped and examined the
road for tracks.
Spent Night in Granary.
"That night we made to a ranch
house several miles from Winchester.
We could see furniture on the inside of

the house and were afraid il was oc-
cupied. We saw the barn and out
buildings had long been unused and we
hid in the granary, intending TO watch
for signs of life in the morning. Early
in the day some cattle into the corral
near the granary and we could hear all
they had to say. They were talking
| about our appearance at Winchester
the night before and one of the men
| remarked that we might be hid about
some of the old buildings. We expect
ed they would institute search and
expected to be in trouble then, but they
went away.
Posses Within Few Feet.
"All of the morning we could see
automobiles dashing along the roads,
comforting at the road corners, and so
we decided we had better get into bet
ter cover, so made into some hea v
brush. While we were there, men carry
ing rifles walked within twenty feet
of us. At one time we made into a
clump of brush from which we could
have counted at least a dozen armed
men and we were completely surround
ed. We expected we were in for it then
but thought we would make run for it,
so abandoned our coats, food and every
thing but our guns and ammunition.
Man Gave Chase.
I'VE were making run across a
field and almost parallel to road
when a man chased us, he being mount
ed on gray horse and travelling on the
parallel road. He came within range,
leaped from his horse and leveled his
gun. We stopped intending to make
our stand right there as straw st ick
was near. The man hesitated, lowered
his gun and mounted his horse and rode
away.
eve were crowded so closely that
we were forced to make into the open
field, where the man you call Dunlap
later appeared. The fact is, we had
seen so many men and automobiles that
we were afraid of walking into an am
bush in the timber. After the Dunlap
episode we were on the run all Of the
afternoon, and about 9 O'Clock that
night passed the sawmill between Reu-
bens and Winchester. We were hid all
of Monday, all Monday night went
into Reubens. 1t was nearly daylight
when we got there.
The Reubens Visit.
1--WE were hungry and cold because
of the loss of our coats and felt that
it was imperative that we get some
thing to eat. AS we moved about the
town and examined the stores, it seemed
there was not a person in the town.
We selected the grocery store next to
the garage and I was just on the point
of forcing the front door when heard
baby cry in rear room. It then
seemed all of the stores had persons
sleeping in them but later was able to
see that the bed was empty in the rear
of the store we entered. This is where
Smead found half pie and it was all
off with the pie before we went further.
We selected our canned goods carefully
and could have closed the window and
rearranged the stock so our visit would
not have been discovered but we need
ed the clothing we round there and
knew that in taking this there was no
use to try and cover up the other
things.

light but got a bad scare from the
members of the crew working ON the
railroad on the grade. We were with
in sight of the cars and from the actions
of the men were certain we had been
discovered We could see the men NOV
ing about the cars and two men went in
each direction of the track. After
little while there was a crash of rock
and men started from the cars straight
| for US. We made slide down one of
| those steep hillsides and there was little
of our clothing left when we reached
| the bottom.
A Hide and Seek Game.
1T was hide and seek with us for
the next several days and when our
provisions ran out we concluded to
again visit Winchester. This time we
entered through the window and helped
ourselves to canned goods. The rain
then commenced and we were unprepar-
ed for the storms. We returned to Win
chester, entered the store by the win
dow and secured warm clothing, shoes
and shirts.
1--WE then returned to the Reubens
section, were in hiding there for several
days, secured some flour bacon, coffee
and baking powder from ranch house
while the owner was absent. Then we
moved into the Myrtle section. When
we saw the river we thought of course
it was the Snake river, but it was run
ming in the wrong direction. We knew
we were ON the Idaho side of the
stream and the Snake should be run
ming to our right but instead is was run
ming to our left. We were entirely out
of food when we reached Myrtle so con
cluded to try out the Myrtle store. We
found there was no food in the stock
and that night climbed the hill to the
grain fields. Saturday we were in hid
ing there and Saturday night slept in
the hay in a farmers barn. We were
hungry and after coming down the
ridge for some distance, saw the rail
road bridge at Spalding, the tracks GO
ing up the river on the opposite bank
and one track going up the gulch al
most opposite us. We concluded to ride
a freight train out on one of those
roads Sunday night.
Hunger Made Them Appear
Hunger drove us down the hill Sun
day in search of food and that was our
undoing. We had been without sub
stantial food for several days and want
ed something to take on the road with
US until we got far enough out of the
country to be safe in purchasing food.
We did not know that reward had
been offered for us or we would have
stayed on the mountain for a month
longer. We could have lived there by
separating could have worked out of the
country.
Smead Talked Little.
/ Smead had little to say, more than TO
corroborate Davis in his recital of their
experiences at the various points visit
ed. He admitted that he had a weak
ness for pie and devoured the half pie
found at Reubens before searching
farther for food. He said the second
time they entered the Winchester store
they made a lot of noise. Following
the breaking of the window, they listen
ed for quite a while and heard no move
ment about the town and then entered
the store balcony and slid to the store
floor He said they searched for a
stairway and could not find one and
were at loss to know how the mer-
chant took his customers to the bal
cony to show goods.

MISS MAUDE FAY SINGS
Warmly Greeted by Large Audience at
AeoIian Hall.

Miss Maude Fay, who recently ap-
peared es Sieglnde at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House. gave a song recital
yesterday afternoon at Aeolian Hall.
Miss Fay's audience was large and en-
thusisstic The singer herself did not
appear ~ ndvantageously perhaps as
she did ~ the Metropolitan. Her voice
is naturally a fine one, but bears the
signs Of wear. Only in the upper
regions is IL still fresh and powerful.
Her breath support was yesterday
often inadequate. and there were many
breaks in her phrasing, while her
1qezzG-uOce was not at ell what il
might have been. Yet always she dis
played intelligence, taste and gra-
cious manner
An interesting item on her pro
gramme was an air from Richard
STRAUSS "Arisdne auf NsAos." which
Miss Fay was giving for the first time
in America. She sang 1t with consid-
erable effect, though the air itself did
not seem particularly important.
Strange 20 say. there was no Schu-
bert or Schumann on the programme.
though there was Brahms. Among her
numbers was Mozart's "Non mi Dir"
Pergolese's "Se MANI" Bayly's Long
Long Ago" and Handles "Sleep. Oh.
Sleep
