 anything further than was related i
 the BELT of the same date. Neithe
 was there anything new elicited at tn
 inquest, the verdict being that Quiro
 came to his death from a gunsho
 wound ia the back, inflicted by som
 persen unknown. Incidents of tn current week, however, have throwl some light on the affair, and while tn evidence obtained is all circumstan tial, yet it points conclusively to al Indian as the murderer. Sheriff Glenn Reynolds tracked the pony, evidentl., ridden by the murderer of Quirez, fe a mile and a half, into the gulch lead ing down to the Miami valley.
 To divergs little. On Tuesday af terroon, about 2 o'clock, J. NJ. Adams arrived in haste from Gilson's, witt the startling intelligence that an In dian had reported to Haverly, Morris Belknap and himself, that Chiricahus Indians had, on the day previous killed two boys at a csrratl near Me Mlllen. Knowing that the Shanlsy boys were looking after cattle Tn tbat vicinity, Adams concluded that they might have fallen victims to the ruth less Apaches, and came as rapidly as pos sible to Globe.[lhe rumor caused con- excitement and apprehension for the safety of the ShanleyS and other persons living at and near Me Mlllen. Deputy-Sheriff Ryan, w. A. Holmes and Floyd Blevins procured horses and started immediately for McMillen, and about half-past eight the same evening Ed. Shanley arrived in Globe and dispelled the fears felt tor hls and his brothers safety. There had been no trouble of any kind m the neighbsrhood.
 Ed. brought information, however, of the finding of jaded horse, belong ing to wv. Gibson, on Friday mern- ing, near Roggenstroh's ranch at Horse Shoe Bend, Salt River, and at the same time he and young Sloan missed horse owned by the latter. They then trailed the Gibson horse back to the WheatfisldS canyon. On the following evening, Saturday, about o'clock, L. T. Harris recognized the Sloan horse, ridden by an Indian ae- by another buck and boy and glrl. Harris took the horse from he Indian, but allowed him to retain l heavy saddle, of fine quality, a Win chester, six-shooter and dirk knife.
 On Monday, Sheriff Reynolds went @ San Carlos, and learned from Act ng-Agent Bulls that an Indian had a saddle to the Agency which le claimedto have got from q Ghiri- ,ahua Indian at Cibicu. An examin- ltion of the saddle led Sheriff Key lelds to believe that 1t was the one hat had belonged to Quiroz, the mur- tered Mexican, but he could not iden- ,ify It positively. The Indian was not arrested, 1t being thought best to al- low him hls freedom until more evil lence could be secured which his ar rest might defeat. A watch was to be kept on him so that he could be se- cured at any time desired. MT. Key holds brought the saddle with him to Globe on Tuesday, and it was fully as the one that had been in the possession of Quiroz when killed.
 The Gibson horse, found at Roggen- stroh's ranch, was at home ca the pre- vious Monday, and used by the chll- dren. The Indian bad evidently ste- len hlm from the range. ridden hlm bareback to the wood camp, where he killed Quizoz and took hls saddle and other possessions, and then went north to Horse Shoe Begd, where he released Gibson horse and stole Sloans. The Indian then went to McMillen, tallrng in with the other three ill that vlcini- ty, the party going from McMillen' without much deviation, to San Carlos. The Indians story of having taken the saddle from a Chirieahua will not hold water, as Cibicu Is forty miles from McMillen and the time that elapsed from the stealing of Sloan $ horse until the Indian arrived with him at McMillen was not sufficient in which to have made the ride there and back, 80 miles, without distressing the horse, and the animal was not greatly jaded. All the evidence in possession of the sheriff was sent to Captain Bull lis on Thursday, and the Indian who delivered the saddle will doubtless bt placed under arrest. The evidence points strongly to hlm as the murder CT of Quiroz.
