Deputy  Sheriff  Parks  left  with  his  prison-
ers for  Arizona  early  yesterday  morning.  When
taken  from  the  jail  the  thieves  displayed  the
usual  insolent  braggadocia  characteristic  of
such  characters.  One  of  them  said:  “What,
you  ain’t  going  to  take  us  back  in  that  old
hack,  are  you?  I want  that  white  horse  of  mine.
He’s  a daggoned  good  one.”  A bystander  re-
marked that  a little  hemp  would  suit  the  young
man  pretty  well.  The  thieves  are  sure  of  a
long  term  in  the  penitentiary  at  Yuma.  The
country  would  be  better  off  if  more  such
captures  were  made.
