THE LATE KOLD-UP.
The Return of Marshal Mead-Des- cription of the Two Men and their
 Probable Wheroabouts.

The Return Of RI harshaI Mead-Oes- eruption of the Two Men and their
 Probable Whereabouts.
 Marshal Meade has returned from pursuit of the men engaged in the re- cent hold up near Wilcox, and from hlm the following descriptions of the men were obtained. At first It was be lleved that four men had been implicst- ed in the robbery but it was, said the marshal, plainly demonstrated that the whole thing was the work of two men, viz: Joe George and Grant Wheeler.
 George, so far as can be learned, came to this country about year and half ago from Oklahoma, but this is not cer- tain, as he made confident of no one. He is about five feet nine inches tai, dark complexioned. cadaverous looking in appearance, weighs probably 145 pounds and is about 30 years of age. The index finger of his right hand is gone; is sad from his language to be 6 man of some education. He goes con-
  ar d even when working around a camp fire wears his cartridge belt and pistol.
 Grant Wheeler IS typical Arizona cowboy, one Of the oest m his lIne iD the territory, and Las long lived on tht s n Simon. He is about five feet eight inches tall, slso dark complexioneO, B. years of age and weighs about ISc uoupde. He is bold and daring to a fault, and those intimately acquainted with the man say that he will never bs rakeu alive. His familiarity wlIh the nountgIu ranges along the border make is capture largely sn impoes, bil:ty. He s the same m< who shot Si Bry ant al a rodeo about three ol four nor ths ago. pat fortunately the bullet glanc d from h S abdomen and did not enter. Aftel the shootiog of Bryant Wheeler rod. away but subsequently, returned to his q stamping grounds on learning the x ent of Bryant's injuries Both men havs lots o: friends in the hills which | makes their capture the more difficult. On the Sunday b. fore the robbery the | men camped at sioore's ranch on the | Whitewater; Mosdpy night they campe6 | about half way betW cen Moore's and Al laire's and the night following at Allai res and on "Wednesday they rode tc W rllcox but left their rifles at Morgan's some six miles from town. In Wilcox they purchased among other things, large quantities of cartridges and SIX cen pounds of giant powder. Tbes' things were put in a wagon and sent tt Morgan's ranch, and that night the! held up the train. They rode to th' railroad and located their propose place of action, then tied their horses som' halt mile away and went to Wilcox or foot, where they got on the doomed train.
 It was we'll known and openly dis cn=sed in Wilcox that robbery was il progre g, hut no attempt was made t. 20 to the rescue of the train, althougl Sheriff Fly of Cochise county was in tn town at the time. The robbers were CT gagged in their work for fully an hou aod half and it would have been yer easy task for even one man with a sh gun to have approached in the darknes r and killed both men, but as no one ho lost anything it was decided to take chances.
 Th9 amount of money taken will neve be known as it is the policy of the el press companies to suppress all such 1T formation.
