 Sheriff Cameron was in Williams /, las. evening, and just before the
 train pulled out on which Mir. Gal
 pin left, he stated that stock man came 10 and informed Cameron that Rufner's white horse had been found with his throat cut. Whether this was reliable or not, he could not learn.
 The rancher, at whose house Par kerstopped on Tuesday night, stated that the outlaw told him that the officers had lost his trail, and that he intended to go into the Bill Williams mountains and remain in hiding there for some tims-untii the vigilance of the officers had ceassd-when he could safely make his escape.
 The officers are not inclined to give full credence to the notice of intention of Parker to remain in the Bill Williams mountains for any length of time, as outlined to the rsncher, and have accordingly scat tered from the vicinity of Williams for the purpose of intercepting him. Other Indian trailers have also been secured to trail him.
 The horses which Sheriff Ruffner brought in on Saturday night were very much faded and worn out.
 Word was received at the sheriffs office that Deputies Fairchilds and Selyey arrived safely at Flagstaff on Saturnay evening with Miller and lodged him in jail there. They will join the other officers now in the pursuit of Parker.
 Ever since the three prisoners es- capped, Under Sheriff Dillon has been kept hard at work. day and night, in organizing posses for the pursuit aud in directing their movements, as reliable information is received. In all cases where officers are in pursuit of criminals they are flooded with alleged information, wSich, in nine case out of ten, is misleading, while there is no end to the number of rumors which spring up on every street correr. To act with wisdom and prudence in cases of this kind, and not 70 overlook genuine clue, requires experience, patience and coolness, but MT. Dillon has shown rare tact in his actions, and at the same time has been courteous to both press and the public, in giving to both any reliable information at his command. By being kept in as close touch as possible with the off cers. he has been enabled to WinnoW the chad from the various rumors ahoat, and to act on those having the semblance of truth to them. Immediately on receipt of the news from Jerome that Miller was in that locality, he started for that camp, but was met en route by parties who informed him of Miller's cap ture.
 He states that the story told by Miller was told to Fred Haas, and was told voluntarily, and he is in- clined to place mora credence in it than is manifested by some others. Should the Mexican be apprehended, he truth of the story could be veri- led, or if not true, it's falsity demon strated.
