CATTLE THIEF CAUGHT
Clever Capture of a Notorious Desperado
Sheriff Layports Reward
About a year ago one George Ev
ans was arrested and tried in Butte
county S D for cattle stealing and
sentenced to a term of years in the
pen Later he was sent back for a
new trial and while out under bonds
was caught stealing 25 head of cattle
and put in jail again Shortly after
his arrest he escaped from confine
ment and without a cent of money
came east finally locating on the re
servation last fall where he worked
for a couple of months under the
name of Frank Green A few weeks
ago he was spotted here by Ed Bla
key who put Sheriff Layport on
and he wired the sheriff at Belle
Fourche that his man was here and
that individual sent instructions to
Layport saying Arrest him and i
will pay expenses
Lee watched and a couple of weeks
ago found he was in town again hut
before he could be arrested Evans
had smelled a rat and left without
taking his horse and saddle Last
Wednesday however the sheriff lo
cated his man at Cody and went af
ter him that night Arriving in our
sister village hesummoned Ed Stuart
and other trusty men to his aid and
proceeded to watch the building
where the desperado was stopping
Just as che gray light of morning
came the criminal left his asylum
and before he could make a move was
covered by two or three revolvers
and forced to surrendei As no trains
ran that day Lee stayed in Cody un
til Friday morning when he came to
Valentine On the train was the
Belle Fourche sheriffEd M Sweeney
but as Sweeney wanted to have a lit
tle visit in Valentine he did not take
his man at that time but came on
through Arrived in Valentine Lay
port still retained charge of Evans
until Saturday night when Sweeney
got ready to go home and asked Lee
what his bill was Lee told him he
thought 50 was about right but
Sweeney demurred and compromised
finally on 10 which was less than the
amount of cash paid out by Lee to
say nothing of four nights and five
days spent in capturing and guarding
the prisoner
But of one thing we are thankful
Evans alias Green is out of the
country When arrested he had on
his person over 1500 in gold and cur
rency which is a tidy sum for a man
who hadnt a cent six months ago and
has no income The authorities think
that his arrest will put a stop to a
great deal rot horse stealing which
has been going on north and east of
here
