 TOMBSTONE, Dec. 14.-DeDuty Sheriff Daniels arrived from Bisbee to-day. to which place he returned yesterday, after a five days unsuccessful hunt for the murderers. The bandits were trailedby Daniels and party the day succeeding the robbery, distance of about twenty miles from Bisbee, when the robbers evidently separated. Owing to the rocky nature of the ground it was impossible to find indications showing the direction in which any of them had gone. At this point Heath, Frost and Wait left the Daniels party and came into Tombstone. The remainder of the party after spending several hours cutting for signs, proceeded to Soldiers Hole, near winch place the Tombstone party was. The following day was spent in scouting around the country in the rain, endeavo-iug to re- cover the trail, and in the evening the Tombstone posse, with the exception f Si. Bryant, returned to town. A posse then went to a certain ranch in The ChiIicahUas, where a full description Of the five murderers was obtained. Silver Greek, San Bernardino's ranch and other points were visited by the posse but no clue to the whereabouts of the robbers was obtained. Numerous cattlemen were met with who were con- stantly riding over that part Of the country looking after their herds of cattle and if the robbers had 1 passed that way it Is certain some one would have seen them, or noticed their ! trail. Daniels is confident they went l north Of where himself and posse were looking for them. One of them known l as Big Dan he thinks made for the l Sierra Madres, by the way of Cloverdale i as those mountains are known to have | been his lurking place in times past.
