a reward of $500 for his arrest, and
officers all over the country have
been on the lookout for him. Capt.

ago in Mexico, and on last Friday
night effected his arrest in San

from train from Mexico. He
acknowledged that he was the man
wanted and that he was willing to |
return without the formality of a
