Another Murderer Killed and One
 Captured.

As matters are tending, we have hopes that the business of murder will diminish in Arizona. August 8, four murderers were hung in Tucson for murders committed early in the day before. August IS, Lucas Lugas and Manuel Subiate brutally beat and cut and shot to death Edward Lumley, at Kenyon Station on the Yuma road {; and on the 31st of the same month, Lugas was shot to death and Subiate captured and taken to the Yuma county jail, where it is to be hoped he will not remain long until convicted and hung as the law requires.
 It seems these murderers of Lumley went from Salt River valley direct to Kenyon Station. The first report that they fled to Sonora was not true, for they kept on down the Gila and traces of them were discovered all the way to the place where one was killed andthe other captured on New River in Lower California, on or near the road leading to San Diego. Accord ing to the Yuma Sentinel's report, Frank Fitzhugh, Elisha House Stage Superintendent, John McQuade and Jose Ochoa commenced the chase, but for obvious reasons could not follow up beyond Col. Woolsey's station. Col. Woolsey sent word to Sheriff Goodwin. August 21, Aug. Hum- boldt and Frank Townsend took the trail and were afterward joined by L. A. Smith to whom Sheriff Goodwin gave warrant to make arrests. They followed down the Colorado to Smiths Ferry, about forty miles below Yuma. and found the murderers had crossed the river. On Thursday, Under Sheriff Tyner and MT. Burkhardt took the trail and went direct to New River and succeeded in finding them near Indian Wells, and by aid of Indians they found and captured Su- biate after firing some shots which slightly wounded him in the back, head and point of his nose. At the same time, they captured one of Moore & Carr's stage horses taken from Kenyon Station when the murder was committed. Under Sheriff Tyner, ill the meantime, had sent word to M. H. Horn of New River Station, giv- ing him facts about Lugas and offer ing a reward for his capture; where upon MT. Horn, Henry Gray and George Hantz started on the trail and finally, on the morning of the 31st of August, they came upon him in a thick underbrush. Horn and Hantz went for him and after considera ble h ooting and attempts to shoot on both sides, Horn got a shot into the back of Lugas's head, which proved fatal ill hal1 all hour.
 Manuel SuDiate denies having any part ill the murder but says Lugas did It. No one believes him, for when captured he had one of Moore & Carr's horses, and the clothing and dog of Lugas. There are many cir cumstances gathered all the way from the scene Of the murder to the place of the capture, which leave no doubt in the minds of those best informed, that Subiate and Lugas did the deed and that the guilt of each Is alike.
 The persistent way these assasslns were followed and the success attend 1 ing it, can hardly fail to have whole some effect along the Gila where the stations are distant from each other and the keepers liable to be robbed or murdered at any time. It is great pity that Subiate did not show fight like Lugas did, so that he might have been deservedly shot, too. Let It be understood that men who commit willful murder in Arizona, will be promptly shot, hung or in some way killed, and we feel sure that the crime of murder will soon become rare indeed.
