 | TOMBsToNf, Dec 12--At Bowie Station
 last Sunday, Deputy U. $. Marshal

 track of the train robbers, having heard
 they were hiding ID the mountains near | Galeyville. On the east-bound train
 also arrived II. L. CapIes and J. M.
 Wilkins of Tucson, who were enroute to
 GaleyvIlle. The party were driven by | Pony Duncan to Galeyyille the same night whore they were met by man I by the name of G. B. Roberts who in- formed them that on the evening of the day succeeding the train robbery, five men came to his cabin and asked for something to eat; they were all heavily armed and their horses were badly jaded. Roberts at the time had not heard of the train robbery, but took especial notice of the men on account of their general ly bad appearance. After getting what they wanted they rode off in the direc- ton of Cherry Greek. Upon comparing the description of the train robbers in Sanders possession, with the descrip- tion given by Roberts of the men, they were found to tally exactly. Roberts further stated he was satisfied the men were still Tn the neighborhood of Cherry Greek, as reports of their guns could be frequently heard. The follow ing morning Sanders took his shotgun and started in the direction indicated by Roberts; after gong about two and half miles up the side of the canyon, Sanders discovered a man. By stealthily craw ing, he managed to get within few yards of the camp, where he saw three men whom by the aid of a field-glass he WIS able to identify as the men he wanted. He waited some time expecting the other two to come into camp and finally made up his mind the others had separated from them. Re turning to Galeyville he organized the posse, consisting of H. L. Caples, J. M. l Wilkins, G. B. Roberts, Dr. G. l E. Goodfellov who had in the | meantime arrived and Pony Duu- can and a man named Bradley | and in the face If blinding snow storm started with the posse to effect the cap ture or death of the robbers. Orders 1 were gwen to begin shooting at them when the camp was reached. The party | proceeded up he canyon and when | nearing the camp divided intending to attack the camp from both sides. They | had proceed but short distance when Goodfellow, who was on a knoll a little above his party, discovered three men riding down the canyon and about two hundred yards from him. They were all heavily armed and had their blan cts strapped 70 their saddles. Goodfellow and posse started toward the robbers and at the same time Sanders who was nearer them, also discovered them and springing into the run, got within about yards of them, when he reached open ground. Tue robbers were now near clump of brush when Saunders fired ct the foremost robber and he either fell or got of his horse.
