the arrest occurred sbouta mile south of
Alysrado, and the pEetext for the arrest
WAS tnst they were strangers. The cir

sbout this way: He and Mr.. Clinton
were ergsged in two cases at Grandview,
which were set for February Is.
On tne morning of the II h they took the
south bound Santa Fe for Av4rSdo,
where they arrived at 10 O'Clock. Learn
