Monday morning they had not re turned and Mr. Bullis became somewhat alarmed , but thought perhaps Mr. Neiss was not at home and that they had waited to see him when he returned. Tues day , Mr. Neiss came to town and upon inquiry told Mr. Bullis that the men , who took out some mail for Mr. Neiss , had left it at his son John's but that Mr. Neiss , sr , , had not seen them and was told that they had gone on past his place probably over to Dal las. Mr. Bullis informed Sheriff Rosseter and telegrams were sent to Pierre , Dallas , Bonesteel and other northeastern points to look out for them. They were driving a span of srrrels and had a new buggy. The outfit is valued at about § 300. \ Three strangers took a team be longing to Arthur Graeff on North Table Tuesday night. Arthur trailed them westward almost to Kilgore , after notifying Sheriff Rosseter who telephoned around over the country. About nine o'clock yesterday morning L. W. Parker telephojed that he had two of the fellows at Burge and City Marshal Hilsinger was sent out to bring them in , and later in the evening Sheriff Rosseter went out to help run down the other fellow , who was hiding in the brush near by. At different times yesterday af tarnoon and evening he was seen at a distance , and an Indian was placed on guard , who finally cap tured the prisoner early this morning by trailing him and shot him in the neck with a shot gun. The two captured by Mr. Parker came to his house horseback to get something to eat , leaving the buggy and harness in the timber with the other fellow. Mr. Park er ' immediately telephoned his neighbors who congregated to ren der their assistance and Mr. Park er got them into his house and shut them in a room and stood guard with a rifle while waiting for help and the sheriff. The doc tor and coroner w6re both sent forte to look after the wounded man and a rig is on the way now bring ing him to town. The two prison ers are locked up in jail and the Indian is held as a witness , but everybody will rejoice at his brav ery for capturing the prisoner. All three are young fellows.
