town he aroused the suspicion of
night officer Buck, who followed him
and when he attempted to drive off
again Buck yelled for him to halt.
Instead, Peterson whipped up his
horses into a gallop and started for
Georgetown. Buck took after him on
foot and the chase getting to hot for
the bootlegger, he deserted the team
and ran.
Buck fired four or five shots in an
attempt to scare him, and Petersen
ran around the Dan Hurley residence,
where he stumbled over a cellarway
and was pounced upon by Buck.
When arrested he claimed to have
bought the whiskey for 50 a gallon,
but later reports are that he robbed
the Haggerty warehouse. The jugs
were packed into cartoons with straw
with a half case of eggs perched on
top for innocence's sake. Sheriff

ROOTLEGGERs WOUND TWO
OF o. s.. l.. TRAIN CREW

Conductor Harry Shaver and Brake
man Ford McCready were shot ond
painfully wounded last Saturday night
at 11:30 at Border siding by three
'bootleggers' who were stealing q
ride into Montpelier. Shaver was
shot through the thick part of the
right leg and McCready through the
fleshy part OF the left leg. Both men
are in the Montpelier hospital but
will be able to be out in a few days.
Extra 1887, loaded with coal, pull
led by Engineer Arthur Burke, left
Kemmerer Saturday evening for Mont
pelier. Before leaving the yards
Brakeman McCready saw three men
hanging around the train. but they
were not located until pulling into
Border. There Brakeman Irving Ed

battalion, caught them and told them
to vamoose.
One of the three puplled an auto

thought at first the bootleggers were
Joking, but when the other two men
drew automatics he raised both handa
giving a signl with the lantern.
McCready and Shaver surmised
was wrong, and McCready
got a % rifle and one shell from the
caboose and started for the head end.
While he was a half car length away.
and Shaver a car lengths distance all
three bad men opened up on them.
McCready was shot first, but fired
his one shell, and as one of the men
let loose of the coal car and fell on
the right-a-way. McCready thinks he
got one of them. When Shaver was
shot he fell from the train, and when
picked up later by the crew was un-
conscious from the loss of blood.
After shooting both trainmen, the
bootleggers jumped off the train,
firing another round OF bullets as they
did so. and firing still a third volIey
as the caboose went by.
Only two Of the men were seen
gong back along the track towards
Cokeville. Brakeman McOready call
led the Montpelier dispatcher on the
phone, getting right OF way over No.

to the local hospital.
Posses searched for the men from
Border and Cokeviile, and Sheriff
.Athay, Chief Of Police Hitler and
Night Officer Buck led posses out
from here without result
On Monday morning two men were
picked up in the Montpelier yards,
suspected Of the crime, but Brake
man Edwards was unable to iden-
tify them as the bad men.
The men were supposed to have
had two cases and two .gunny sacks
of bootleg whiskey. The two sacks
were found on the train, when IL
reached Montpelier and taken to the
county seat by Sheriff Athey.
