chunk 406 Β· paragraph 1404
rsday 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
βWhiskey 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.
