 Deputy AtUnds WAS the first to start in puTsa,; but lost some .ime in getting O. ;ha ,riSi but wher he struck it he had little difficulty 10 following It. He was accompanied by Horace Ysomans, he well known packer, and siler . four hours ride the two mel csEe up with the out. laws on LynA Creek about ; o'clock when 6gh, enSued resulting in the wounding of Miller. Tue Mexican was not with them when the posse overlook them and it is supposed that be abandoned them on the summit. Miller was riding the horse previously ridden by the Mexican. when the brush with the officers took place and shot from Yeomans' rife brought the horse to earth, when another from Deputy Munds' riAe brought Miller down. The latter crawled behind a bush where Parker was concealed and threw up his hands as signal that he would surrender. This action. it is said, brought forth a volley of oaths and curses from Parket's lips who denounced Miller for his lack of nerve. Parker, who was mounted ca Sheriff Ruffner's white horse then drew Miller on behind him and they rode of.
 The officers, previous to this en- gagement, had dismounted, leaving their horses some distance behind aud being unable to pursue them on foot rstraced their steps to their animals, which were exhausted from the long hard ride and they re- turned to Prescott for fresh horses. After securing fresh horses they re- turned and expected to be able to take the trail again this morning.
 Deputy Sheriff F. E. Burt. of Ash Fork, and Deputy George Merritt, of Jerome came in sn this mornings train and were provided with horses, arms and ammunition, and left about II o'clock this morning to join the others of the posse.
 About twenty-five or thirty armed men, from ChapsTral, also took the field last night.

Ii wss the opinion of the posse that P..- scr bad gotten rid of Miller and YES Sione, thoIgl the reasons the asl for entertaining this opinion was not given, as DO trace of Miliar had been seen.
 4 telegra vas received at the sherifFs offics just before noon, stat ing that Deputies Fairch,ld and Buggelin, ci Coconino county, who participated in the original pursuit and capture of Parker in February, were just leaving Winslow for the Tonto Basin country, in order to intercept Parker, should he succeed eluding the posse from here, as it now seems as if he was heading in that direction.
 Otto Miller, Dolph Blair, John Fitch and Ward Pritchett were ar. rested yesterday afternoon, presume bly, in connection with the case. Later in the day, Fitch and Prit- chett were released, as there was not the least shadow of evidence, so far as known, to connect them with the case. Miller and Blair were still in jail this forenoon. Whether the officials have any testimony to con- meet them with the case, can not be asceTtained.
 Ben Rybon, who went out with the posse yesterday afternoon, re- turned last night and after a few hours sleep today, left this alter noon in a buggy with J. D. Moore, the latter taking his blood hounds along. They intend going to the Bceue of last evenings fight, for the purpose of putting the dogs on the trail in the hope of locating Miller if the theory of his having been deserted by Parker is correct.
 Lee Norris, the unfortunate vic- tim of Parker's murderous aim, de- veloped alarming symptoms Sunday afternoon, just after the issue of the JoURNAL-MNLR extra, when he com inenced having hemorrhsges. At times he seemed to rally sufficiently to inspire hope among his physi- oians and friends that he might rally and recover, when he would be attacked with sinking spells, and hope would give way to fear.
