Is This the Man?

The rail road authorities claim to
have captured the party who, it is al
legged, wrecked the engine on our rail-
road recently. The name OF this mis-
creant, if so be he be guilty, is Rufus
Wethers. He halls from Trenton and
his animus against the railroad is said
to be due to the fact that his son Char
lie lost leg recently in railroad

lievlng Wethers the guilty party
may or may not be too diaphanous for
belief or plausible enough to swallow
head-foremost, according as you take
things on faith or by know.

Three Enter n Store for the Purpose
of RobberS-one is Shot and the
Others FIee-Tnppcd the Cash
Drawer.

Tucson, Ariz. Feb 1.-THE stage
from Mammoth tonight, brings the
news that yesterday three Mexieans
entered the store at Alma, where old
man Doll and his son were murdered
a few weeks ago, and attempted to
hold UP John Poach, who is in charge
of the place, but Roach was too quick
for them.
Before they could use their guns, he
fired six shots, which brought one of
the would-be robbers to the ground,
perhaps fatally Wounding him, and
the others fed. Roach, fearing they
would get help and return and serve
his as the Dolls were served, got his
horse and went to Mammoth. When
he returned to the store, accompanied
by two men, he found that during his
absence, the Mexicans had revisited
the place and taken a considerable
sum of money from the cash drawer.
officers are now in pursuit of the
robbers. 1t is the opinion that two OF
the three men butchered the Doll
family
