ly hurt. Albert Vega, better known as “Chicharo,” now occupies cell No. 2 at the court house. He has been a little too handy with his gun of late, making ranakaboo plays. There are other boys in town who may also be taught a lesson unless they “take a tumble,” as it were. A colored girl is languishing in jail for cor- rupting the morals of Central. She was fined $10 and costs, but not having the change handy she was easily persuaded to come over to Silver as the guest of Sheriff Whitehill. From the April 19, 1889, Issue of The Enterprise It pleases us to state that one of the Apache murderers of Freeman T. Cosper, the freighter, is now a real good Indian and the other a prisoner. They have managed to evade the In- dian scouts until Wednesday, when they were discovered by a party of scouts, who attempted to arrest them. They resisted, and in the fight that followed one of the murderers was killed and the other captured. The latter will be turned over to the civil authorities for trial. Old Chilchuana, who, it is believed, was as- sisting the scouts, was wounded during the fight. — Stockman.
