The Eureka Sentinel says: Pat. Keys,
the Ruby Hill Muldoon, who left that
place somewhat suddenly yesterday af-
ternoon with a sack OF coin and checks
which had been intrusted to him by II.
Kind, was captured last Sunday morn
ing at the water-station of James Butler,
near the Spring Valley mines, about 20
miles southwest of this town. Keys, in
company with Bob Mellon, arrived at
the station Friday night, and remained
there and in the adjacent hills until their
capture. Mr.. Butler, the father of Jim
Butler, saw the men at his sons place,
and on coming into town last Saturday
learned the particulars OF the robbery.
He went to Constable Kelley and in
formed him of their whereabouts, and
about six O'Clock that evening Kelley,
accompanied by Mr.. Butler and James
Hunkens, left town and about ten clock
arrived in sight of the station. Butler
went on to the house, but Kelley and
Hunkens camped in the sagebrush until
nearly daylight, when the former pro-
ceeded to the station, leaving the latter
to look out for the horses. Keys and
Mellon had taken their blankets to the
adjoining hills, where they slept that
night, but had announced their intention
OF returning to the station for breakfast,
and about sunrise they were seen APP
preaching the house. Keys being con-
sderably in advance of his companion.
Mr.. Kelley secreted himself behind a
small counter which stood in the room,
and as Keys stepped in he raised and
covered him with his whistlers, telling
him at the same time to throw up his
hands, which order was promptly
obeyed, when Butler stepped to the pris-
oner and took his pistol from his belt.
About that time Mellon stepped into the
room, and was Immediately covered by
the Constable's weapon. Mellon made
a motion to go after his six-shooter, but
was Immediately checked by Kelley, who
told him il he stirred he would kill him,
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. Seeing that the officer "had the
drop" on him, Roberts hands were I'M
mediately pointed toward the zenith,
when he was also disarmed. Mr. KEEL
ley then had a talk with Keys, who ex-
pressed the greatest penitence for what
he had done and intimated his willing
ness to make AL the reparation in his
power. He conducted the officer to the
spot where he had concealed the sack
containing the money and checks, which
Mr.. Kelley took possession of and
brought into town together with the
prisoners. Keys was taken to Jail, where
he now remains, but Mellon was dis.

and checks, but is out $3.50. $500 Of
which he paid to Kelley and 1926 each te

Among the immigrants who passed
Winnemucca the other evening, was o
bugler who had followed the fortunes OF
Sherman in his March to the Sea, and
had not forgotten the notes which called
stragglers to the camp among the pines
OF Georgia. The moment the trail
stopped he blew blast on his instrument
which, the Silver State says. though un-
derstood by comparatively few, had OIL
} enlivening effect on all. Scarcely had
its echoes died away in the sagebrush er,
three or four cavalry men from CAM

those shrill blasts. and ascertain wha
