passing through the arm but not breaking
the bone. Sheriff Olney and posse of Graham
county went to the scene as soon as the news
reached town, but could not trail the men
farther than the road, where the tracks indi-
cated that they had gone in the direction of
Layton.
After the first shot Jorques grappled with
his assailants and tore a blanket from one of
them. Next day their masks were found and
with the blanket turned over to Sheriff Olney.
Gilmo was at once suspected by the Sheriff, he
having disappeared from town the day before.
He commenced inquiries among the Mexicans
about the blanket and after a while located its
owner and afterwards secured evidence that
Gilmo and a Mexican had made their masks
and prepared for the robbery, at a Mexican’s
house.
Since then Mr. Olney has been laying low
and making quiet inquiries in every direction
for Gilmo, who was well known here, at Dun-
can and Clifton. A few days ago he received
word that Gilmo was at Phoenix and he at once
telegraphed Sheriff Montgomery to make ar-
rest. On Tuesday he received word that Gilmo
was in jail at Phoenix and that the Mexican
who had accompanied him to Phoenix was in
the vicinity and would also be probably ar-
rested.
