M rrderers. I will say here that if 1
Sagers had picked from all Utah he
could not have chosen qIartette
as adead on the TAX" as this was.
AS soon as he told his story the men
at once went to his rancho and pro-
ceeded to"take 'emP Officer Brown
was the first to walk into the house,
and presenting his "bull deg" or
dered the large man to throw up his
q bread hooks" which he did. Mr..
Loveland followed Brown closely,
and covered his T" Injun" with a.
Colts patent, which was enough for
the smaller man.. for he at once
raised his hands in manner which
indicated his desire to have them
up in time. "Hop" and Hamer wit
messed the "takeation," and had the
rufians attempted violence, know
ing the ability of the HIS as marks
men, it is safe in saying the men
would have been transformed
into a seiYe without an ~exer.
ton. After taking the men and
making them comfortable in differ
emit wagons. Brown and Hop
"tackled" the big fellow, and Hamer
and Loveland the more diminutive
scamp. and then the jolly crowd
rolled along with what they sup:
posed to be their prey; and sure
enough, after changing men and get
/ ting both mems stories and compar-
ing them, they felt sure something
would soon develop. After Brown
and Hop tackle man he becomes
worthless; and so it was in this
case, for the little fellow lost his
"nip," or in the language of the able
gang, che took water" and confessed
to having been with the other man,
and having hand in the affair, but
claimed it was the other man who
did the shoOting: and said it was an
accident, and their intent was plum
der only. The men was taken at
once to Arimo, and the following
telegram sent.
"ARIMo, Idaho, Nov. End, pm.
g. W. Thatcher, Supt., Logan.
We have the murderers for sure.
Please meet US at Oxford if pos
sible.
Signed HOPKINS, HOMER,
BROWN, LOVELAND.'
Upon the receipt of this telegram
the Superintendent telegraphed to
U. S. District Attorney Crawford
the news, and took 3 special and
left Logan at pm. for Oxford. On
the arrival there of the south bound
passenger train, the prisoners were
taken into the superintendent car
and waited for the north bound
passenger train, which brought At
torneY Crawford and some wit
nesses. An examination was held
and sufficient evidence given to
satisfy all. The prisoners were then
turned over to Officer Homer, who,
together with Hop" has. taken
them to Malad to await trial.
The funeral Of the deceased Joel
took place at Franklin on
Monday last. He leaves a wife and
a host of warm friends to mourn
his untimely demise.
The larger man of the two gives
the name of Michael Mooney, and
is a hard-hearted, bad man and
would not give in at all, or finch on
hearing the awful accusations made
to him at the examination. The
smaller is not as bad a man and
lacks the nerve" to carry him
through. He gives the name of
Frank Barnes. They claim they
came from Wood River, and were
going to Cariboo. and say they ar
rived at Franklin the night the
deed was committed. If this is the
case they are not the men who were
seen in Franklin the day before the
trouble.
The reward offered for the arrest
and conviction of these men is as
follows:
