Cornell managed to elude further attempts at capture, and getting to the brush, made good lis escape in as dating a way as any bandit of old. None of the cattle in the cap tured band Moved to belong to Mr Hager. Mereditli was willing to go back without a requisition, but Sheriff Fiowle perferred to have everything straight, and today telegraphed Ihe prosecuting attorney of Modoc county to at once get cut the necessary papers w hich will at once be done.

(t Is stated that ludluu skul's com mand a price of $10 each In Eastern museums, hence the 82 which these gentlemen gathered up represented a cash value of $820. This would lead one to believe, says Tho Dulles Times Mountaineer, that these Innocent "professort" had soma other motive In view than that of collecting relics for aclentillo purposes.
