Carlistc is conceded by authorities | to be the most daring train bandit | ever operating in this region. The search for the escaped convict ts the | biggest man hunt ever staged in the | West Plenty of Nerve The Casper report did not surprise law officers, because, in 1916, before he was caught following three suc cessful train robberies, Carlisle had forced an armed train guard to “pass the hat” In one hold-up, robbed an.) other train after informing Union| Pacific officials of his plans, and kept an admiring public laughing at his pursuers with his letters to news papers. His escape from prison in a shirt | packing case and his single-handed |holdup of & Los Angeles limited | Tuesday, despite the presence of an | |armed guard on the train, were on ‘The man hunt today still centered at Medicine Bow, Wyo. near which town Carlisle leaped from the limited train, after walking among the pas sengers of a tourist sleeper and col- lecting $400. The cavalry and posses there are quartered in the Virginian hotel, the setting of Owen Wister's “The Virginian.” Robbers’ Roost, the wild country below the Laramie river, ie being combed by posses. In the caves and canyons of Robbers’ Roost many outlaws have escaped capture. The bad lands of the Jackson's) Hole country to the north are also being watched for signs of Carlisle. But the general belief ts that he is nor far from the railroad Unes in Wyoming or is in hiding with friends. Carlinie’s success in robbing four Union Pacific trains is partly at tributed to his years of service as a brakeman on that road, following his cow pufching experience. May Try Again If he is in the Casper region his, next defiance to his pursuers is ex: | in a holdup of a pected to show Burlington railroad passenger train. Having robbed « train under fed eral control of railroads, Carlisle in fighting the power of the United) States government. This in the ex planation for the prompt ordering | out of federal cavalrymen, the first | time in this region's history that United States troopa have been xent| to capture a train robber “dead or alive.” ‘The fact that the government must reimburse passengers for their losses and that travel is considered unsafe with Carlisle at large are other reasons for the troop activity Meanwhile the authorities are com pletely at sea as to Carlisle's hiding place and fear he will syee another | spectacular hold-up.
