HORSE THIEF KILLED S. Bagley,
keeper of the Desert Spring Station, and
Ben Tascol arrived in Phoebe on Mon
day evening last with some horses that
mad been stolen from Desert Springs and
recaptured near Cherry Creek by Bagley
and Tascol George Harris, the man
who stole the horses was followed to
Cherry Creek by Bagley and Tascol, and
on their coming near him he opened ire
on them; Bagley coming up on one side
of the animal that Harris was riding. he
Harris getting down on the other side,
both blazing away at each other. Dur
ing the exchange of shots the mare Har-
ris rode, which was claimed by Bagley,
was shot and killed. Some of the balls
passed in close proximity to Bagley and
| Tascol, and when Harris was seen last
he was bleeding from wounds IN the
head and other portions OF his body.
Baeley and Tascol say that the wounds
which Harris received we're inflicted by
Harris himself, which appears to US
yery unlikely case. If what we beard be
true in all probability Harris is dead. A
conversation amongst some OF his pals
disclosed the fact that he had IN his
blankets when shot 5000 that he had
made two Mormons give up near hose
Valley. which was narrated in the
RECORD at the time of the occurrence.
