He evidently saw the two Cimarrón 'men in town, and thought that they would naturally have quite a sunt of money with them, because he went straight to their room, and .'ll.'irt-itt ly touched nothing else in the house. Rogers is a loser of a suit of clothes, shoes and a small sunt of money... Cole lost a suit of clothes, another- coat aud ve.-t, and in the neighborhood of twenty i' Tin burglars left him a pair of pants ;-nd his wajch, evidently an over -ight. ., due has been found, but it is sup posed that the job was done by some one who knew the two men, and see seeing - ing seeing them in- town, believed that they had hie wads on them.
