made Ekalaka their hang-out
for several days past, pulled off
a good stunt

C3,
cam j iu town. Ball his partner,
came here about a month ago
afoot from Belle Fourche and
Freeze, entrance be gained by
breaking a back window, and
stole 5 six shooters' 2 bridles and
several smaller articles. After
since, has been working at odd
times for Judge Martin. Some
time Tuesday night the two fel
lows entered the store of Wm.
this they went to Owen's livery
barn when they saddled up one
of his horses and one of their own
and pulled out for an unknown
destination, the saddle taken,
belonging to Vest a young man
around town.
Their work was not discovered
until in the morning, when Mr.
Owen's while doing his morning
chores noticed his loss. Deputy
Sheriff Boggs was immediately
notified and is now on their trail
as is also T. J. Martin and Mr.
Owens. The two fellows, pur
chased a supply of shells the
day before and from the way
they handled the whole job one
would believe that Jesse James
and his gang had again hit the
country. Their capture is ex
pected soon and when brought
before the court will no doubt
receive a reception long to be
remembered.
