back home, but be started in an op-

officer Maoshower, through an assist

from 8 Proctorviilian. who probably
don't know TO this day that the pic
ture was taken from his house, copied
and the copy returned in place Of the
original, from which were made a
large number of photographs. Over
l75 letters containing one of the pho
tographs and a descriptive circular Of
the fugitive were sent out over the
section of country where he had been
last heard from. and every Sheriff
and other officials for miles aronnd
Gates were on the look ont for him.
He was next reported at Brook
vile, where he remained short time
and went to Spokane Falls, in Wash
ington Ter. This place is described
as wild, weird spot, and Gates'
daily companions we're lot of half
breds and Indians. Thence he went
to Florence, Arizona. At this place
he wrote a communication to the Gin
cinnati Enquirer saying: "a few days
ago q young man was murdered at a
camp close by this place. The kill
ing was claimed to have been done in
seH defence, but the impression was
That It was done for The purpose OF
robbery. There was nothing on the
person to identify the young man by,
but 1t was supposed that he was
young physician from Cinninnati. o.
This is written in the hope that some
of his friends may be led TO make
inquiries" Mr.. Munshower read the
paper ard at once concluded it was
from the pen OF Gates; so he wrote
to the Sheriff of the county In which
Florence is situated and il wasn't but
a few days until he received a dispatch
stating that DR.. Gates was there, and
if they wanted him TO let them know.
He replied per telegraph, telling the
Sheriff to keep his eye on him for
few days and he would notify him
when to make an arrest. Other let
tiers were received telling of Gates
having visited Prescott, and Yuma,
Arizona. Then hc won't to Yakima,

Sheriffs of Stephens and Yakima
counties got after him and followed
him to Thurston where he was arrest

the Sherifs who made the arrest
thus speaks Of the Doctor: 81 receiv-
ed your letter and turned the Doc.
loose. He ia hard case, and is good
on the bluff but we are used to his
kind ont here. He stayed in camp
over night and then left for the upper
country. He swears vengence against
you (Munshower } and says that If
he ever sees you he will shoot you on
sight. He Is certainly one of the
grandest rascals ever saw. He had |
some money here, but couldn't say
just how much. We had quite a |
chase after him through the noun
tains, came up to him at small place |
called Thurston, and alter some |
trouble, took him in and brought him |
about l30 miles into Yakima county"
For making the arrest the officers |
claim 800 as reasonable pay, and we |
understand Mr.. Magee or Mr.. Gates
will make good the amount.-DoHar |
