Redford Job, the sixteen year old son of Alfred Job who lives on Whisky creek east of Silver City, was arrested and brought to town by Marshal Cantley last Wednesday, charged with robbing the house of Martin Mullen at Apache Tejo. The boy was working for Mr. Mullen and during the absence of the family and guests, robbed the room of Miss Downs, taking therefrom a pistol, one dollar and fifty cents in change and two receipts which he sup- posed to be checks. A Mexican employed on the ranch claims to have been robbed of seven- teen dollars and seventy-five cents and a gold watch chain. The young man denies having taken the money and chain from the Mexican but admits having taken the articles belonging to Miss Downs and has returned the property. He will probably be bound over to await the action of the grand jury.
