hill. Annie stated that she was from Camp Grant, and that Davidson had told her all about the killing. Her story of the tragedy agreed with the facts, and as she could have no apparent motive for pre- varicating, her story was believed, hence the sheriff’s trip to Arizona. The sheriff did not take anyone into his confidence in Arizona, but with the assistance of Mr. Webb, soon located his man in a se- cluded part of the Graham mountains. The arrest was effected without resistance on the part of the prisoner. Mr. Webb states that he was not at home at the time his brother was killed, and that he ( 3 ) did not know this man Davidson. His brother was shot while going out of town, about 11 o’clock at night. On Wednesday the alleged murderer was confronted by Annie Dedrick, who identified the prisoner as the man who had told her that he had killed Jeff Webb. Davidson is a hard looking character, and is said to be pretty low down in the scale of humanity. His occupation in Arizona is said to have been quite ques- tionable. Mr. Webb’s success in accomplishing the object of his mission so speedily, is very gratify- ing to him, as well as, a card to Sheriff White- hill. The sheriff did not state how he managed to get his man out of the territory of Arizona without a requisition. He got him, however, and that is sufficient.
