The bank robbers are flying from one
place to another in their endeavour to escape from
the Winnemucca and Golconda posse., which at last
accounts was close on their heels in the Jack Creek
mountains in Elko county. The last news of the chase
was received here last night, being a message sent
by telephone from Johnson’s, a station about thirty
miles east of Tuscarora on the headwaters of the
North Fork of the Humboldt. The dispatch said that
the robbers were then near Rutherford’s ranch, about
six miles from Johnson’s, and were being closely
followed by the Winnemucca and Golconda posse. It
stated also that word had been sent to Sheriff
Campbell of Elko, who, with a posse, was then on the
North Fork and but a few miles away, and the two
posses had joined forces in a final attempt to run
the robbers down. This news, though few particulars
are given, shows that the robber hunt is being
skilfully conducted, with an excellent chance of the
capture of the fugitives being made soon after the
dispatch was sent. |
