rsday morning the boy was accused by one of his relatives of participation in the crime, and after telling a rambling story of his having returned from Silver City by the way of ’Whiskey Creek, said he would go with the offi- cers and show them the trail they had taken. While the boy Robins and the officers were hunting this trail Doctor Stephens appeared on the scene and demanded the arrest of Robins saying that he had positive evidence against him. After protesting his innocence for some time he finally weakened and confessed his knowledge of the robbery, but said that he had gone ahead, and from details which he gave the probabilities are that he acted as a picket to notify his pals of the approach of any one from Pinos Altos. After the arrest and confession of Robins, the officers proceeded to Pinos Altos to arrest Windy Dick, the terror of the Mangas, and his chum, A1 Mayfield. When the officers reached Pinos Altos under Sheriff Davenport they discovered Huber and Mayfield in the house where they stopped. As soon as they saw him they ran from the house and through some fields adjacent to Pinos Altos with Davenport and Wm. Graham after them, firing as they ran. While Davenport and Graham were scaling a fence Huber and Mayfield fired five shofs at them and they got off the fence in a hurry.
