They hate succeeded in eluding their ,
pursuers and the ultimate escape of at *
least a portion of the gang seems high
ly probable.
Since the fatal tight at Pilot Hill, in
which one of the convicts was killed,
the others have not been seen, unless
the story of William Green, a cowboy,

the others.
The conviction ie growing that the
fleeing men are headed for the Sierra

by ex-convicts who reside along the
