The crowd at the depot was eager to
see him, and Chief of Police Maddox
found some trouble in driving back the
people to give room for the prisoner
and his captors to pass along the plat

say except an occasional exclamation
of disgust at the curiosity those
who hung around him displayed.

Sheriff Love told me that some limo

Sheriff Love was surprised when he
obtained the description as he had

on December 10, When he and Sheriff
Mcmurry had their conference Il was
decided. that sheriff Love should take

got track of the men, and from the
direction which they were going he
concluded they were bound for Ros-
well. He sent dispatch back to Sher-
If McMurry to proceed 10 Roswell. In
hopes that he would head on Cook and
effect his capture In that town, but the
dispatch was delayed and did not

much hard riding. Sheriff McAlurry
proceeded to Roswell. but was, OF
course, not ON time. and sheriffs Love

Right here ~ rnay be stated that the
interview with Sergeant Sullivan of
the Rangers touching the app.ehen-
sion and capture of Cook, IN entirely
gnnfruhtafaA htt ,pf xNi, 40,
bagged the man. They say that they
did not attempt TO throw OFF, Sulli-
van, and that while they did not
invite him into their councils, or ask
him to participate In the capture, they
stood ready to give him all the MS
sistance in their power. They spoke
rather bitterly, and thought Sergeant
Sullivan had been unfair in what he
said in the interview. As proof of
the fact that they had a description
Of the man, ShoriG McMurry showed
me a message sent him from Colorado
City to Roswell, in which It was said
that Sullivan was in the former place.
Sullivan left Colorado city after the
others were in New Mexico.
The story of how the arrest was
made has already been published by
the Gazette. Cook was found at the
farmhouse of Win Gates, $50 miles
west Of Roswell, a week ago last
night The officers satisfied Chem
selves that he was the man they were
after and then waited for the dawn to
come to make the arrest. Cook was
taken completely by surprise He ad-
mits himself that he was unaware Of
danger. He had just got up and start
ed out to feed his horse. The two
trusty 44's which he usually carried
belted around him had been left where
he had slept. He was unnrmed and
when commanded to surrender did SO
without n struggle. Both revulvers and
fine Winchester We're found, and will
be held as trophies Of this most re-
markable chase.
The three officers who have thus put
check TO the career or robbery and
murder of one of the most fearless des-
petadoes that has ever Infested the
Southwest, are typical western men.
