 arising Saturday morning be started tt the stable to feed his horse, and or | reaching the corral two men suddenly l confronted the outlaw with cooked re- volvers. Cook did not have his gun so there was nothing for him to do but to surrender. Sheriff McMurray was near at hand, and the three officers
 brought the outlaw to Fl Paso enroute
 to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to secure papers for his removal to Oklahoma. The officers and their noted prisoner arrived on the Texes & Pacific train yesterday morning, and taking a car. risge drove to the Santa Fe train. He
 was handcuffed and closely guarded by Sheriffs Love and McMurrsy. The car was crowded with curious people who wanted to see and speak with the outlaw. The reporter introduced him. self and promptly applied his gimlet. But the prisoner was in a sullen mood and would not talk much. He did not approve the curiosity of the crowd and remarked while the crowd was pressing around him: Wonder if these d-n fools think Pm wild animal"
 Bill Cook is about 2I or 22 years old and is not bad looking youth. He is five feet eight inches high and we'll proportioDed He weighs about l65 pounds.

In reply to the reportorisl gimlet he said:
 "I didn't have my gun when they got the drop on me. I have not been in the Indian territory since the 18th of last October. No, l was not at Red Rock. OKl ,homs, in December, and I did not send the sheriff word that I was there waiting for him to come after me. I do not remember to have ever killed any person. l have been in New Mexico about ten days"
 Cook appeared very much disgusted over his hard luck ID being captured and while he was very reticent with report orc ba tolIo6 froaIv uitb fha of4;oo--
 w. J. l.. Sullivan, sergeant of Com psny B, Texas Rangers, stationed at Amarillo, Potter county, Texas, was also ID the city yesterday and he attracted DO little attention. Sergeant Sullivan is typical Texan. He stands six feet tbree inches in his riding boots and he has been on Cooks trail since the 18th of October last. To 8 Times reporter yesterday he told the following interest ing story of his long chase:
 ''On the 18th of October laet when the Texas & Pacific train was held up tSo miles east of Gordon, Texas, start ed out after the robbers, and I have been on Bill Cooks traIl ever since. I dId not know, however, that Bill Cook was the man l was chasing. I only knew I was following the trail of the robbers who held up the train. On the 18th of November six of my men captured four of Cooks gang in Clay county and three of the captured outlaws are now in the penitentiary-two for twenty and one for thirty years. We did not stop at their capture, but kept right along on the trail of the leader. We run him in- to Pslo Pinto county, thence into Young. thence to Jack and back agaIn into Clay. Then another robbery took place on the Texas & Pacific at Benbrook, eight miles of Fort Worth; and again some of the robbers were captured. but the daring leader was still at liberty. aud few days later be held up the Rock Island train at Red river, and we were then on the trail of the robbers. On the 29th of December learned that Bill Cook and Jack Turner were in Dickens, Dickens county, Texas. When I reached there they had skipped. I had seven men with me, but on learn ing there were only two in the Cook party Isent five of my men back to Amarillo. Cook and Turner went to the Spur ranch in the Pan- handle, therce to the Lano and the
 Square and Compass" ranch. At this last ranch they spent several weeks and then went to the ''Z l." ranch where they separated, Cook going to Roswell. Turner went to Colorado City and got into some trouble but he escaped. I then followed him with two men to Colorado City. Arriving there I shipp- ed my men and horses back to bead quarters and follow wed Cook to Roswell. I soon found he had been in Roswell under the name of Williams. but hs had left before 1 arrived. I concluded he was either making for El Paso or White Oaks so l went to Sheriff Perry and told him that if any one was going to White Oaks l wanted to be counted m. He and Sheriff Love. however, left be- fore daylight without letting me know anything about 1t, and without having anyone to pilot me to White Oaks. | went to Eddy. Thinking it possible that Cook was trying to reach old Mexi co, | came on to Fl Paso, and Saturday while myself, Captain Hughes and his rangers here were searching every cor ner in Ell Paso and Jusrez for the out law, Love and Perry had him in New Mexico"
 Sergeant Sullivan and Cook had never met but they knew each other from description. Cook knew that Sullivan had been on hIs trail for months. Sun- day morning MT. Sullivan met the off, cers and thelr prisoner at Pecos City. He went into the car where the men were and approaching the young out law, greeted hum with, "Hello Bill" Cock glanced up and responded, "Hello Sullivan" The outlaw talked freely with his old pursuer. Speaking of Sullivans capture of four of his men at Bellyue, Cook said:
 "I was only half a mile distant with Jim Turner when you got the boys and if we had been on hand you would have had to do some fighting. have never in my life killed any human being. But l did take part in fight once when one of my men, ''Cherokee Bill" killed ap officer. Cherokee Bill" is half Indian and half negro. You and your rangers uara tha only paonlo ubr av~. o-.-ll l
