ft. Last week Steve Nixson, foreman of the Gebhart cattle company, located Bob and Dick Hall, two of the Pine Cienega gang who were not captured by the Grant county officials, and securing a Graham county warrant and a posse from the neighborhood of Duncan, started after s * the men. Nixson and the posse returned to Duncan without the men they went after, but it is understood that they met the two Halls, and in a fight killed them. This is not as satis- factory a form of justice as arresting the men, the way the Grant county officials did, but it is much cheaper.
