The two horse thieves who were captured
near this city a few weeks ago by deputy W.
John Parks and Party of Duncan, recently
broke jail at Solomonville. A Mexican officer
followed the trail of one of the men for many
miles, and finally came upon him. The thief
was armed with a pistol, which allowed the
officer to come up within range of his Win-
chester without exposing himself to danger.
He then ordered the thief to lay down his
gun, which he did without unnecessary delay.
The officer then forced his prisoner to strip
to the skin, in which condition he was marched
through the broiling sun to Solomonville. It is
said that the prisoner was completely cooked
by the time he reached the county seat. It was
rough treatment, but the prisoner was lucky
to got off that easy.
