On  Thursday  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.

While  the  robbers  were  running  down  the  canon
below,  the  balance  of  the  posse  and  citizens
came  up  and  the  robbers,  seeing  that  they  were
being  headed  off,  Huber  sat  down  and  threw  his
six  shooter  in  the  air  thereby  signifying  surren-
der. It  was  then  found  that  Huber  had  a flesh
wound  in  the  arm,  supposed  to  be  made  by  a
bullet  from  Davenport’s  pistol.  During  the
melee,  Graham  and  Davenport  came  near  being
shot  by  their  own  party  several  times.
