Arrives Here.
Crowds of People Meet Him and
the Sheriff.
He Takes His Arrest and IncarCer-
alton COOlly.
Story of His Wanderings From the
Time He Left Granite.

The Denver train was the magnet which
drew a big crowd of people to the Uuion
Pacific depot yesterday. The depot plat
form was thronged with people anxious
to catch a glimpse of Charles Parker FIJI
lebrown. the alleged murderer of Hiram
Faulks, the Granite Canyon pump en-.
gineer, last February. Fillebrown, ac-
companied by Sheriff Kelley and wearing
no handouts stepped briskly from the
train. He looks as though he has had a
hard time OF it. His face was very much
wore showed evidence of hard usage. He
is a young and rather n~ice-looking man.
He plbnrcd c,lmly ahout in the crowd.
Here aud there he noticed and nodded to
possessed. Apparently he had no tear OF
the future aud in f,ct at all times ex-
pressed complete confidence in his own
acquittal
Fillebrown noticed quite a number of
acquaintance in the crowd at the depot
and waved his hand to them. The crowd
followed the sheriff and his prisoner to
the court house, where the latter was
quickly transferred to a cell without being
searched or provided with the regulation
slippers. He was as unconcerned as an
old offender and smiled as pleasantly as if
he were about to engage in a base ball
game.
Well said Fillebrown, in response to
question. 4 feel pretty good. 1t may
not seem quite reasonable to say so. but
it is true that l am glad to be here. l
lived in constant fear of arrest. | an quite
glad that it Is settled at last and | am
prepared to face the music"
He stated that he bad arrived at the
pump house at Granite Canyon about an
hour, apparently, after Faulks was dead,
and that his (Flllebrown's), revolver was
lying by the side of the dead man. He
knew that suspicion would be directed
against him. and acting on the impulse
OF the moment, he mounted his horse and
started south. He rode hard and reck.
lessly for a while. but his horse soon
played out and he was finally forced to
walk aud lead the animal into Fort Col.
Inns. He remained over night at a livery
stable there, and next morning went some
distance away, turned his horse loose,
tagged a train and went to Denver. He
read big accounts of the murder in the
Denver papers, and learned from them Of
the action Of the coroner's jury with reIa-
ton 10 himself. He was in Denver Mon
day and Tuesday while the Cheyenne
officers were there, aud was very much
tempted to return here and give himself
up, but be finally decided that as he had
come away, he would follow the thing
ont To inc end. He made his h~eadquar-
tiers at The stock yards. Having pawued
hts watch for 81. 50 he took a stock train
to Omaha, FROM that point he went to
Kansas City. A. this latter point, while
walking along the streets soon after his
arrival, he was grabbed by a couple Of
policemen.
"Whcrs are yon iron?' ore Of them
asked.
Wyoming, replIed F%illebrown.
We waut you" they continued sig
n,ticautly.
oh. you ,io Well | M Glal some
10 iy wants ne I've been having a
pretty hard row to hoe and | hope you
fellows will treat me well. What do YOU
want ne fof?'
we want you for murder"
oh, rats, said Filleorown, you're
giving me CUFF, aud with that he jerked
loose aud walked off. Strange to say
they did not attempt tc follow him.
He worked a couple of weeks in Kansas
digging wells and taen went to Pueblo.
He wandered around from place to place
and finally found himself in company with
a tramp near Buena Vista, Colo. He
says he was afraid the tramp would rob
him, SO he concluded to make the tramp
think he was a hard case, and told him he
had recently killed a blacksmith in Harry
Hynd's saloon in Cheyenne, and that
there was a reward of $500 offered for
his capture. the tramp thought there
might be something in the yarn, so he
cut loose from Fillebrowu at Buena Vista
and notified the sheriff of his suspicious.
The trail was at once taken up, and
Fillebrown arrested in Leadville while
standing on the street watching the
election proceedings. Sheiiff Kelley tele-
graphed from Denver for the sheriff at
Leaiville to bring Fillebrown to that city,
and recognized him as the man wanted as
soon as he saw him. Fillebrown was
inclined to run a bluff on Sheriff Kelley
by protesting strongly that his
name was not Fillebrown, but
weakened when he was told that he
would be taken to Cheyenne in the morn
ing just the same. Upon being searched
in Denver the pawn ticket for his
