Charles 7. Linton, of Denver, Col, who has
been for the past four months upon the track
of Joseph II. Martin of that city, who MUIR
dered J. H. Hardin on the 9th of December
last, arrested Martin upon ranch between
Woodland and Madison, Yolo county, day
before yesterday morning. Deputy Sheriff
Linton was accompanied by Constable John
Morgan of Davisville at the time of making
the arrest. Martin was now going under tie
name of Lyons, and was at work in the hay
field of Charles Farland. He was brought to
this city and lodged in the City Jail to await
the arrival of the requisiticn of Governor
Pitkin of Colorado, which will reach here
Saturday. Martin acknowledges committioe
the homicide, but claims that he was first
attacked with Ratchet by Hardin. where
upon he shot him with revolver through
the head. Another man then took the part
of Hardin and attempted TO shoot Martin,
but before he could FIRE, Martin shot hin
through the arm, which ended the affair

of witnesses in attendance at the Police
