WESTERN BANDIT HEADS FOR HOLE-IN-THE-WALL.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 21. —And now “Bill” Carlisle, the graciously elusive train rqbber, has gone the way of a multitude of other western desperadoes—into the fastness of the Hole-in-the-wall, in the bad lands of Wyoming. At least that is the surmise of the scores of soldiers and other representatives of the pursuing law, who, have been unsuccessful in finding a well-defined trace of the bandit who cavalierly held up and robbed a trans-conti-nental Union Pacific train Tuesday nigha. Into the Hole-in-the-wall country —a vast expanse of rugged mountains, interlacing creeks and almost barren flats—dozens of criminals have fought and found refuge from too closely pursuing posses and many a search, has been abandoned as futile when it had been learned that the hunted man had passed through the hole-in-the-wall. But the hunt for Carlisle, escaped convict and robber of Union Pacific trains, goes on. The railroad officials, according to their announcement tonight, have spent J 15,000 on the chase since Tuesday and they are willing to spend as much more. Knowing Carlisle’s love Tor the spectacular, they believe he will not long remain in the bad lands where he would have to sacrifice his place in the limelight. Accordingly, a round hole in the wall the railroad company's policy has become, as J. G. Gates, chief of the company’s police, agents, l expressed it, one of “watchful waiting.” . S. P. Hilliard, Don Wright and A. Hill, of Indianapolis, returned home from a hunting expedition in northern Michigan Friday evening, where they had been for the past two weeks. / The party was fortunate enough to kill two ’deer, one of which was shipped to this city and the other to Indianapolis. The hunters report thpt deer are unusually plentiful in Michigan this year and that they saw m'any of them. ( Mrs. L. L. Ellis, of Rockville, came Friday for a visit with Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Barbre.
