Zip Wyatt alias Dick Yeager
Submitted by: Mollie Stehno

December 26, 1895-It is reported on good Washington authority tht the pursuit of Zip Wyatt alias Dick Yeager by United States marshals cost the federal government $20,000 and they didn't capture him either. Now add about $800 that Zip cost Garfield County and you have a grand total of $20,800, but the $800 crowd captured, shot, nursed and buried the great land pirate. But the people he robbed and murdered have never come up with the rewards they offered for his capture.
