While several miles from any ranch Mr. Emery, in some manner, broke his right leg below the knee, and for fifteen days Mr. Whitehill took care of the old gentleman as best he could in camp, after which he was loaded onto a burro and after many hours of tedious and painful travel, the Rogers ranch on the Gila river was reached and the wounded limb cared for as well as circumstances would admit. Mr. Emery is almost 60 years of age. A gang of outlaws are still operating in the neighborhood of San Lorenzo. Recently N. Y. Ancheta’s safe weighing 1500 pounds, was ( 7 ) carried out of the store and buried near the Mimbres river where it was found next evening. It had not been opened, the thieves either not knowing how to blow it open or being pressed for time. N. Y. Ancheta’s store has been four times robbed during the past few months, and now Mr. Ancheta has concluded to go out of business.

A clean-up will be made in that section one of these days which will teach the gang a lesson.
