Corbeyt out of the country. Upon returning to her ranch, which adjoins the Corbett ranch, Mrs. Duh- ling found that her house had been broken into and rifled much in the same manner as the Corbett ranch house at the time when Corbett was murdered. A window had been broken | in, through which the thief gained en- trance, Every closet and drawer in the place had been gone through and the contents scattered upon the floor, in exactly the same manner as the Corbett house had been rifled after the murder. Emulating the Corbett murder in every detail, the thief took two guns,! THE; saddte, bridle, a. pair of field glasses und such “cowboy” trinkets as met his fancy, showing a contempt for more valuable articles. He even passed up a small quantity of whisky which Mrs. Duhling has for years kept in the {house for medical purposes. After a systematic search of the ranch house, which must have taken at least an hour, the thief then broke open the milk house with an ax and took the saddle and bridle which Mrs. Duhling had concealed there. . Thus equipped he caught the horse, which was running in a near-by pasture, and, loaded down with plunder—guns, field glasses, spurs, rattlesnake quirt and other spectacular accoutrements of ranch life dangling from every available saddle string, the bandit. mounted on “Twinkle,” the same little sorrel saddle horse upon which Jack Corbett’s mur- derer escaped, made his way over the hills toward the city. He stopped at the Ray Carroll ranch, and inquired the way to the road. Mrs. Carroll recognized the horse and became suspicious. Another neighbor, Mr. Dris- kell, started after him on horseback, and overtook the bandit about a mile from the city limits, but by putting up a bold front, he convinced Driskell of his right to the horse and the plunder, end was allowed to proceed unhindered. Again he was recognized by Miss Ruth Oliver, who questioned him closely, but he Informed her that he had secured the horse at a livery stable, and then left the road, disappearing across the sage- brush flats toward town. Arriving in the city, the bandit took the saddle and bridle from the horse end turned him loose upon the streets, the latter finally arriving at the Duh- ling ranch next morning. From the meagre descriptions so far obtained, the bandit: is a boy, from 16 o 18 years of age, and In some respects resembles the suspected murderer of Cofbett. Certain it is that his method of operation tallies in every. detail with that of the Corbett assassin, and his fascination for the saddle horse lends weight to this theory. The old adage that “a murderer will eventually return to the scene of his crime,” has found a practical demon- stration, is the opinion of the residents of thé Elkhorn Creek country. This is the fourth ranch house which has been robbed in this vicinity recently and the residents are taking drastic} measures to protect themselves. Be- sides the Duhling and Corbett robber ies, the summer home of W. J. Bailey was entered and robbed a few weeks ago, and the home of J. RB. Griffith was also entered by three boys, who ran- sacked the place and stole a rifle. The rench house of Kenneth Leavitt was also burglarized only recently. As a measure of protection, residents of the Elkhorn district have posted notices that they will, without warning, open fire upon any and all trespassers found upon their property.
