Martin, enlisted the Sheriff Sheridan county in the search, and i nt to tue residence or Salisbury to find that the bird had flown.

Salisbury had gone to Thomas couii' ty, sold bis deeded land there, started south, and was captured at Cheyenne Grove, in the south part of this couii' ty. lie was easily secured, being en ticed away from his wagon by Mr. K.
