guilt  and  when  the  sheriff 
went  in  to  one  of  the  cells  and  left  the  keys  in 
the  lock  and  his  gun  in  the  office,  George  saw 
his  opportunity  and  locked  the  sheriff  in  the 
cell,  took  the  sheriff’s  gun  and  made  his  es- 
cape. The  sheriff  was  very  badly  disappointed

when  he  found  he  had  gone,  but  George  Forget 
did  not  forget  that  he  was  wanted  nor  did  Rich 
forget  to  watch  Separ  station.  He  came  in  for 
water  and  was  captured  by  Mr.  Rich  and  Harry 
Armstrong  and  after  his  capture  he  confessed 
that  he  was  the  man  that  was  wanted. — E.J.

On  The  War  Path

The  following  is  from  the  Hillsboro  Advo- 
cate of  the  19th:

Late  yesterday  evening  the  following  dis- 
patch was  received  by  Sheriff  Story:

Chloride,  via  Engle,  Sept.  18 
Sheriff  A.  M.  Story,  Hillsboro:

Oscar  Piontenhauer  and  Fred  Bumbaugh 
were  killed  by  Indians  up  Chloride  creek  today. 
— W.  O.  Thompson.

Mr.  Thompson  is  the  editor  of  the  Chloride 
Black  Range,  and  the  information  contained  in 
the  dispatch  is  unquestionably  correct.

Some  five  or  six  weeks  ago  Indians  were 
seen  passing  through  the  Cook’s  Peak  country, 
and  it  was  then  predicted  that  murders  and 
depredations  would  soon  be  heard  of  as  the 
result  of  their  presence  in  the  country.
