Captured in Faulkner County, Arkansas,
 by sheriff wilson.
WANTED FOR TWO MURDERS.
One of the Most Desperate Outlaws Who Ever Carried a Winchester ou
 the Border.

DOO OatHpuch, alias bAi ChueA wood, one Of the most desperate criminals who ever carried Win. chester on the Texas border, was captured near Conway by Sher- if J. B. Wilson, of Faulk- ner county, Thursday morning. In 1886 Campbell stole an entire drove of cattle from ranch in Me Clellan county, Texas, and escaped to the border. He was captured alter hard fight, and finally landed in the Texas pcnitentiary to serve sentence of tea Ys2ss. ln tho fall of 1888 he escaped from the peniten tisry, and, being pursued by Sheriff J. M. Coglin and posse, Of Wyse county, was brought to bay. Just as tbe posse was closing in on the despersdo he :iirned, pouring volley from his Winchester into his pursuers, and killed Sheriff Cog lin. Amid the excitement attend ing the death of the officer Campbell escaped. A few months after wards Campbell committed the crime ot highway robbery OF the suburbs of Waco, and, his indentity being discovered, he fled to the border where he was surprised and taken prisoner by Ranger Capt. NJ Donald. While awaiting the orders of the governor to be csrried bsck to Wyse county, the scene of his former bloody crime, Campbell again escep-d, this time from the Wichita county jail. He was puraued by Sheriff Garrison, of Montague county, and Sheriff J. L Fucker, of Wyse county, with posse, and, on being overtaken in an old field, fought with the desperation of mad tiger. Sheriff Garrison was shot through the neck and fell from his horse just as another ball from Campbell's Winchester knocked Sheriff Fuckers pis- tol from his hand and pierced his arms. The desperado again escaped, this being the sourth time. Since then his whereabouts have been unknown. A large reward was offered for his arrest, and Sheriff Fucker, of Wyse county, has been using every means to loca e him. A few days ago Sheriff Wilson, of Faulkner county, Ark, got infor- nation that Campbell was living in the interior of that county under the name of Under- wood. Considerable communication passed between Sheriff Wilson and the Texas authorities. Tuesday the Faulkner county sheriff wired Sheriff Fucker to come on, and the latter reached Conway this morning, ac- companied by City Marshal w. H. North, of Decatur. A few hours before the arrival of the Texas officers, Sheriff Wilson, with posse of six men, rode up to OaufpOCll uOuSC. 1uC IcAd5 Q05- perado was in the front yard and, quickly realizing the situation, drew his pistol and began firing. Before he had time, however, to take accurate aim he was looking down double bar rel shotgun. He dropped his pistol, and threw up both hands, which only saved his life.
 When captured by the Texas off, cers Campbell acknowledged his identity, but maintained an air of bravado. He was brought through here in shsckles, an warrant issued by Governor Eagle for his removal to Texas Sheriff Rucker and Marshall North are two faithful and fearless officers. They will conduct Campbell to the scene of his crimes, and it is safe to predict his neck will stretch hemp.
