Posses are scouring every section of the
country in the vicinity of Bear Paw mountains in Montana after Kid
Curry the leader of the gang which held up two Great Northern
express trains on July 2, 1901, and who escaped from Knoxville jail
while awaiting transportation to the Ohio penitentiary to serve out
a twenty year sentence for forging signatures to the stolen bank
bills obtained in the robbery. The posses are composed of men well
acquainted with the country in which Curry is traveling and who are
equally as quick on the trigger as he or any of his gang.
It is many miles from
where the search is being prosecuted to the nearest telegraph point
and it may be days after an encounter before anything is known of
what happened. Curry has lots of friends in the country through
which he is passing and they will aid him to reach the rendezvous of
his gang where he will be safe in the
fastness of the Bear Paw mountains from pursuit or capture. |
