 In recent issue of this paper was copied an item from the Silver City Enterprise, stating that Sheriff White hill, of Grant county, New Mexico, had arrested in the Graham noun tains, this Territory, man named J. R. Davidson on charge of murder committed in Texas. MT. Davidson, the man arrested, arrived here Thurs day night from Silver City, where he was taken by Sheriff Whitehill and confined in jail fifteen days and then turned loose, as there was not an iota of evidence against him. Mir. David son tells us that he was arrested near Fort Grant on January 18th, and kid naped out of Arizona, as the New Mexico officer had neither warrant nor extradition papers. He was taken to Silver City, and, as above stated, given his liberty after being imprisoned if teen days. At the time the murder was committed in Texas for which he was arrested, MT. Davidson was at Fort Thomas, this Territory-a fact winch he can prove by number of reliable people. His arrest, and especially the manner of it, was an outrage, and those engaged iii it should be made to pay dearly for their unlawful act.
