The posse whioh left Lamar on Sunday a week ago in search of the Carlton postoflice robbers, returned on Sunday after having been out just a week. The posse consisted of Ed. Sherlock, Chas. Jones, Jack Greaghe, Lish House, Jim Smith and Ok. Hunter, M. J. McMillen having followed the wagon used in the rob* | bery to Las Animas several days be fore. The Lamar boys reached the camp of Indian Bill Smith and the Mart iog brothers, who were undoubtedly the robbers, on Monday night and found the spring wagon there, but no one at home and none of the stol en goods around. They camped at the Murray ranch about four miles away and made a thorough search as well as keeping a guard on the house. Two women took the spring wagon to Las Animas Tuesday nfter supplies and were followed but they did not meet the robbers along the line. On Thursday the Lamar boys got on the trail of the robbers and came up with them just before dark and had a hot fight for a short time in whioh two of the horses of the robbers were killed and the horses of the posBe stampeded. While the posse were recapturing their horses the outlaws succeeded in escaping, being aided by the darkness. Dur ing the night the outlaws went to the home of one of their gang named Love, where Ed. Gorman and G. A. * Watson, who were out on a hunting trip, were camped and took a fine team of mules to replace their horses which were killed. They then suc ceeded in escaping and the posse Were unable to find any trace of them the next day and decided to come back for recruits. They brought Love, who was suspected of aiding the gang back with them. On Saturday after the posse had Fifty Years (he Standard • Awarded Nlghtst Honors World’s Fair. Mgtnat tests U.S.Qar't Chemists The Lamar Register left the gang returned to the Mur ray ranch and drove Mr. Murray away aud imprisoned his herders and scattered the sheep. They are now said to be in camp there and have announced that they will never be taken alive. As soon as they cuu get provisions and ammunition it is propable they will leave for other parts. A strong posse left yester day to renew the attempt to capture them, being in charge of Deputy Sheriff Ed. Sherlock. Posses will also go from Las Animas aud La Junta, probably from Trinidad as the Murray sheep camp is in Las Animas county and the outlaws are now wanted there also. It is evideut now that the only safe guard for this section of the state is to wipe out this gang and a determined effort toward that end will be made by the officers of all the counties in the valley. The men goiug out from here are all well equipped for the work and unless the outlaws have already left that region they will most likely be killed or captured. Countv Notes. [From tlio Holly ('hieftainj Fred Mohl was here the greater part of the weok, as busy as he could be, making sales of lands to parties from the east. . • • The town was full of strangers Tuesday and Wednesday, most of them coming from eastern Kansas aud being iu search of farms in this great sugar beet country. • • • W. K. Winterhalter, of the Ameri can Sugar Beet company, was iu this vicinity looking over the beet fields the first of the week. He found considerable acreage frozeu in the ground. F. G. Hofiman will go to Lamar Mouday to attend the hearing of hiH contest case before the land office. Through this contest Mr. Hoffman expects to become the owner of 40 acres of land lying east of the Flora Vista fruit J. I. Banks will go along as a witness to prove his al legations. • * • [ From tlio (Irauada Times.] Fred Rosebrough has purchased A. T. Bilderback’s interest in the livery stable and it will now be con ducted by Rosebrough & Starr. • • • G. H. Creech and Ed. Mitchell went hunting one day lsst week, and were surprisingly successful. They tock their dogs along, and, between the Granada bridge and Sand Creek, captured and killed 17 raccoons — regular old fashined coons —all full grown. This holds the record for any coon hunt in this part of the valley, as coons have heretofore been very scarce, and the boys feel quite proud of their achievement. omC3iL ITETirSPiLPEB OX* 3P3X“ ZZTJZJXC: COV1TTT LAMAR, PROWERS COUNTY, COLORADO, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1902, Some persou or persous broke one of the large front windowH in Noble & Boltoii’h hardware store, last Fri day night, and took three shot guns which were leafing against it on the inside. As far as the tirm know, nothing else was taken. For a time it was thought that the persous who robbed tho Carlton post otlico had done this also, nut that now seems to have been impossible.
