branch of the Central railway, twenty
seven miles east of Austin. Last Sunday
night mixed accommodation train leav-
ing Austin at 80 for Houston was rob-
bed by two bandits at or near Paige, the
details of which have already been given.
As stated then, the officers were soon in
pursuit OF the robbers, and now comes
the gratifying intelligence that the trail
OF the bandits was soon struck and one of
them captured The captured robher turn
ed ont to be a young man named Charles
Nash, aged about twenty-one years, a son
of Oscar Nash, who resides at McDade,
this side Of Paige. Young Nash had for
some time been acting as convict guard
In the neighborhood of Paige, and was
tllling that position when arrested. He
was observed by several parties few
hours before the arrival OF the train lott
ering about the depot armed with large
six-shooter. The negro woman who was
robbed resides in this city. Her name is
Sarah Allen, and she boasts her ability to
Identify her assailant II she should be so
unfortunate as to meet him in sheol.
may be added that a man named Gray
was arrested by Detective Bales here to-
night as one of the robbers, Gray was
arrested on East Pecan street, near the
bridge over Waller creek. He is aged
thirty-tve, and refuses to give any &C.

has been a convict guard. To-
day Nash on being arrested at
Paige screamed and made clean breast
OF it, not only so but he gave away his
pals, one of them this same young man
Gray. A description of Gray was forth
with sent to Austin, and his arrest soon
followed. Grsy's head Is bunged up, but
he says he was assaulted in Austin Sun
day night Gray will be sent to Paige to-
morrow. These men are charged with
robbing the station at Paige also.
