,  subpoenaing  Morgan  as  a wit- 
ness. The  stock  was  brought  in  and  is  now  in  the 
sheriff’s  charge.  No  reflection  was  cast  upon 
Morgan  in  the  transaction,  as  he  is  understood 
to  be  a first-class  man,  simply  allowing  Murray 
to  leave  his  stock  there  until  he  could  send 
for  it.

On  Monday,  West,  Murray  and  Tacket 
were  turned  over  to  Sheriff  Barela  of  Dona  Ana 
County,  where  the  three  are  wanted  for  a theft 
committed  some  time  ago.

Since  the  capture  it  turns  out  that  West 
and  Murray  are  well-known  hard  cases,  and 
are  badly  wanted  in  Arizona  and  that  a reward

( 8 )

of  $1000  is  offered  by  Arizona  parties  for  the 
capture  of  West.  If  this  is  correct  the  parties 
making  the  capture  are  in  luck.  The  party 
consisted  of  Deputy  Sheriff  Bud  Moore,  A.  C. 
Windham,  Steve  Nickson  and  Frank  Richard- 
son, the  three  latter  being  from  the  lower  Gila, 
having  come  to  town  for  the  purpose  of  attend- 
ing a stock  meeting.  They  volunteered  their 
services  to  assist  in  the  capture,  and  left  this 
city  with  the  deputy  about  12  m.  Tuesday  night, 
making  the  arrest  on  the  Gila  early  the  next 
morning.
