Felipe Padilla, who several weeks ago
shot and probably mortally wounded Je-
sus Castorena at the village of Los Pa
dillas and escaped capture, was arrested
December 80 at his home in Los Padillas.
The capture Of the man is a piece of
work which is decidedly creditable to
Sheriff Hubbell and his assistants. The
man was trailed through Arizona as far
as the mining camp of Globe, and from
there by devious ways back to his own
home, where the capture was affected.
Deputies George Metzgar and s. Barboa
have the special credit of the job, they
having persistently followed the trail
until their man was in custody. Casio
rena is very low from the effect of the
shot, and it is hardly expected that he
can survive. In the meantime Psdilla is
quartered at the county Jail to await the
outcome.--Albuq uerque Citizen.
