|
Posses Still After Them But There is
no News of the Chase |

Up to the time of going to press
there is no news of importance in regard to the
pursuit of the bank robbers. The posse which left
Tuscarora Thursday afternoon returned that evening,
having visited several sheep camps in the mountains
without finding the men they were after. The posse
again struck out Thursday evening for White Rock,
which place they expected to reach by midnight. A
letter received from Tuscarora says that Colwell,
Duvivier and Cavanaugh are determined to run the
robbers down and those who know Colwell and his
companions best are satisfied that they will follow
the desperadoes as long as there is a possibility of
capturing them. |

There are numberless rumours in
circulation as to the identity of the robbers, but
none of them seem to have any substantial
foundation. One from Tuscarora is that the robbers
answer to the description of three men who have been
working in a wood camp near that place; that one of
the men was in Tuscarora Monday afternoon and that
he was riding a grey horse. It will be remembered
that one of the robbers rode a grey horse from
Winnemucca. |

Ed. Ducker, Roy Trousdale and three
Indian trailers returned last night. They went as
far as Squaw Valley Wednesday night and took up the
trail Thursday morning but were so far behind that
they gave up the chase in the afternoon. They picked
up one of the robbers horses in Squaw Valley. The
Indians say the men turned all the horses loose
except those they were riding before leaving Squaw
valley. |

Messrs. Bell, Collins and Dunn
returned last night from Paradise valley. They
turned their course homeward when they found the
robbers had taken a different route and that they
were too far behind to be of any assistance in the
pursuit. |
