from  one  of  the  pursuers  soon  brought 
him  to  a halt.  The  thieves  have  been  going  by 
the  names  of  Joe  Phillips  and  Levi  Harkey, 
and  have  heretofore  borne  good  reputations, 
but  their  hard  riding  and  mountain  craftiness 
would  indicate  that  they  are  not  novices  at  the 
business.

The  boys  who  followed  and  captured  the 
thieves  deserve  great  credit.  The  distance 
covered  by  them  from  8 :30  to  7 o’clock  was 
about  80  miles,  a considerable  portion  of  which 
was  through  the  mountains,  the  pursuers  fol- 
lowing the  trail.

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

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.

John  Marino,  who  escaped  from  the 
Georgetown  lock-up  Tuesday  night,  was  arrest- 
ed for  the  burning  of  John  Menard’s  residence 
on  the  Mimbres.  He  is  supposed  to  belong  to 
a band  of  Mexican  outlaws  who  have  been
