The Inter Ocean [Chicago IL] August 28, 1877
"ROAD AGENTS" ARRESTED.

Deadwood, D. T., Aug. 26 - Three road agents who have been plying their 
vocation on the Cheyenne stage route were arrested and jailed here this 
evening. They came into town yesterday morning, and were spotted by the 
Sheriff and deputies. The arrests were made this evening. One of the robbers  
resisted arrest, drawing a revolver and shooting Officer May through the arm. 
The fire was returned, but the desperado succeeded in getting to a horse, and 
started over a hill. The horse was killed by a rifle shot, and before the 
robber could recover himself from the fall Sheriff Bullock closed with and 
easily overcame him, as he had been shot through the body and was weak from 
loss of blood. His wound is probably fatal.
