Bulletin.

Or Friday last Mir. Eutsey, or Southern Pima county. arrived in Solonopville, following Mexican who
 had broken into his house and stolen 6 lot of clothing. Mir. Eutsey was also quite positive that the man be wss following was wanted for more serious crimes than stealing clothes, he having been told that he suited the description of a Mexican who killed another with an
 axe on the San Pedro sometime lest year.
 NIT. Eutsey believed his man had gone
 towards Thomas, and after swearing out
 a warrant he went down the valley accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Ben Olney, and soon learned of a man going thst way riding horse answering the
 description of the cne on which t1e
 pursued was mounted.
 On Saturday morning Mexican brought word to Shsriff Olney that a man suiting the description of the
 Mexican had etoppad the night previous and was then at ths ranch of Mir. Robert Steggali on the other side of the river, about two miles from Solomonville. Sheriff Olrey, accompanied by James | Parks lost no time in going to the | Steggall ranch. Arriving there they saw two men sitting in the rear of the house, but the door waR immediately | closed ard a woman appeared at the 1 front door. Without stopping to even pass the time of day OlIey and Parks hurried around the house.
 Olney recognizing his man by the description given spran2 from his horse and walked up to the surprised fellow and told him 10 consider himself under arrest. This seemed to be satisfactory at first, but quick as q flash the prisoner | dashed into patch of heavy green corn which grew all around the house. Olney 1 and Parks pursued and lively and ! tiresoms race ensued, but finally O!ney i covered him with his pistol and made him throw up his hands. Bringing him back to the house he wes ordered to sit down on log near the corner Of the house. Olney stood near him and Mir.
 Parks proceeded to saddle up his horse ! preparatory to bring the game to town.
 But the game did not propose to travel 1 in company with the officers if there
 was any possible chance to avoid it, and after taking a short rest after his frat dashhe bolted again through the corn l field,with the officers in pursuit. He was called on to stop several times and the aheriff fired two shots into the air with the hope of soaring him to a halt. He WAS making for the fence and dense willow thicket beyond when Sheriff Olney stumbled and fell down.
 By this time the fugitive had reached the fence and was gong through 1t when the sheriff sa that the chances for his escape would be good unless he | was stopped, and raIsisg his pistol, fired, the ball striking him in the left leg about three inches above the knee, shattering the bono and stopping him on the spot.
 Mir. Olney very much regretted the occurrence, but it was either shoot or lose the man, as he wis completely exhausted. He at once came to town for 8 wagon and the wounded man was brought to town and placed in the hospital under the care of Dr. A. H. Hoeffer, He gives the name of Angel Encinos. but that is an alias, and his true name is said to be Juan Garcia by 6 party claiming to have known Eim iu past. Encinos is about , feet inches high: medium dark Mexican complexion; reddish brown scar on left side of face just in front of ear; from 22 to % yards old; no beard; rode a large fine sorrel horse and carried Winchezter and bowie knife.
 When Olney and Parks first rode up had they made any hesitation and allowed Encinos to reach his gun, the result might have been different, for hle determInation to escap9 would imply that he would have used a gun to ac complish that purpose if he had the opportunity.
 Sheriff Olney received word from Sheriff Browp, oe Pima county, des cribing the horse that Encinos was riding, which was stolen from the Indian school at the place two weeks ago.
 pr. Hoeffer pronouncas the man to be in 6 critical condition; the hone of his leg was badly shattered, and amputation may yet have U be resorted to.
 Tine stolen Indian school horse was sold at Soiomorville by Mir. Thompson. The man Encincs, who took the animal, had his wounded limb smputated today. The outcome Is not learned
