Desperate Thieves.

Last Friday evening Mir. George H. Judd, of Wilcox, went out to see his father, who is living on his ranch, about eighteen miles from Wilcox. On ap- preaching the house he discovered that the door had been broken open, and an examination revealed the fact that some one had ransacked the place, carrying of everything of value, including the wearing apparel of Mir. Judd. A search of the premises was made and the track, of two or more parties were discovered. Mr. Judd mounted his horse and started in pursuit. The Mexicans, for such they proved to be, were overtaken at the top of the divide, in the very act of donning the clothing stolen from the house. Mir. ]. ordered them to surrender, at the same time drawing his revolver, but they were too quick for him. They turned loose a broadside and broke for the hills. A searching party was soon organized and started out with the intention of over taking the thieves, but up to date no news as to their whereabouts has been obtained.
